    I'm confused at the scoring system been bugging me for awhile gotta ask.

    When you finish a game at the black screen it says everyone's score but then when you press "BACK" for carnage report it doesn't have score(thats annoying but not the problem) but when i go to the K/D ratios of everyone in the game it doesn't match the score?

    Example: Last game i played at black screen at end of game it said i had 16 points(slayer game) then I look at carnage report(back button) and it says my K/D ratio was 26/5 doesn't make sense to me, I know for a fact I betrayed 2 people (at once not my fault) and committed suicide once that's -3 to score but 26-3=\=16. I also know that kills/deaths/betrayals that happen after the game ends still count but i didn't do anything then.

    I initially thought was just suicides and betrayals and kills after game but score margin has been way to much to often. Sometimes a team can get 20+ kills then there actual score there can't be that many betrayals and suicides and after game kills. Once its lucky but it happens almost every game peoples K/D ratio doesn't match the score :S?

    Anyone else noticed this or know why this is happening?

    Proof, Game details 15 points 26 Kills 3penaltys.

    i havent noticed this at all,
    but it seems like a pretty huge problem that would need to be addressed immediately.

    it also seems like something more people would have noticed by now.
    youll have to do some more detailed observation.

    I've noticed this too. It also kind of ruined one of my games. I was on a nice killstreak and was going for a perfection. Finished the game with 15 kills (the scoreboard said so) and I didn't get the perfection medal, strange huh? I check the carnage report and it said I only had 13... Also a couple times my friends have gotten like 35 kills in invasion and after wards the carnage says 25 kills. There is definitely some type of bug.

    Exsactly my thoughts which is why i thought there was gonna be a simple explanation something I'm missing.

    But i guess people missed it because people don't go into K/D carnage report much if they do they just expect it to be right corresponding to scores and if its off by a few kills they assume where betrayals or suicides or kills after games which would make it go unnoticed.

    Test it out for yourself just tally kills and then look at total score, (give leeway for betrayals suicides and kills after games) but still it almost never the right number for me.

    Replayed Film, Watched every kill, I got 18 Kills 2 betrays and a suicide which gave me a score of 15 which is accurate. SOOOOOOO I dunno how I got 26kills?

    Here's the Bungie.net Carnage report for proof i'm not pulling this out my ass.
    Bungie.net : Reach : Game Details

    On bungie.net it even says my Score is 15 my Kill's are 26 and my penalizes are 3(2 betrays and suicide)????

    Doesn't make sense.

    That sucks. Every score i have seen has presumable given people more kills so there might be more to it than originally thought.

    I have noticed this almost every game I have played. I totalled everybody's kills after one game and it totalled 86 from our team in a 75 kill limit game.

    Well, this is really just another small issue on the growing list of reasons why Reach should have been released later.

    Can we do anything about it? no.

    idk if its been brought up on bungie forums,
    but you should save the film, link it in a thread on bungie,
    and explain the bug in detail.

    Ya that's gonna happen, But you can't put it down to a glitch every game, sometimes people betray suicide which - score but not kills and get kills after game ended which + kills but not score.

    We no, But if we get bungies attention can they do anything about it, yes.

    Was going to but Reach forms move way to fast get one or two posts before its lost forever. Accomplishing nothing. I was thinking about talking directly to Achronos again but had to make sure it was worth it.




    That game I tested a theory i had killed 9 enemy occupied Vehicles that game.(because in firefight campaign vehicles count as a kill) 18kills+9vehicles=27 and that =/= 26 which is what it said i killed :S CLOSE!!! almost had it! Still could be it, its possible i missed something meaning this could be it.

    Thoughts?

    I'm wondering if it's something to do with host switching. I stated in another thread that I got two double kills to start off a game, a host switch occured and the game resumed. My carnage report only recorded one double kill, so something is getting lost during that migration to a new host.
