My great displeasure with the awarding of points in the war mode of Delta Force
It is truly frustrating and demotivating to participate in a ranked match of War Conflict mode in Delta Force and receive such an unfair score as the one I was recently awarded. Despite having performed outstandingly, the way experience points are calculated seems to be completely out of all logic.

In this match, I not only won with my squad, but I had a performance worthy of recognition: 36 kills, 18 deaths, 18 assists, and I managed to rescue 38 people, which was the most in the entire team. In addition, I was the player with the highest score in my squad. All of this should have been reason enough to receive a considerable amount of merit points; however, what I received was a resounding blow to morale.

Instead of being properly rewarded, the system gave me -12 merit performance points and a mere +10 points for winning the match, resulting in a total reduction of -2 points in my rank. It is outrageous and absurd that, despite having met and exceeded all expectations in such an intense match, the system penalizes players who give their best in this way.

These types of situations not only demotivate, but also destroy the desire to continue playing. It is impossible to maintain enthusiasm knowing that, no matter how well you play, you could end up with a reduction in points. Thus, it is practically unattainable to aspire to the highest rank, especially when there are only 6 days left until the ranked season ends.

Recommendations to improve the scoring system
-Value individual actions more: Kills, assists and rescues should have greater weight in the final score, especially if a player stands out above his team.
-Avoid unfair penalties: If a player has an outstanding performance and his team wins the match, there should not be reductions in merit points under any circumstances.
-Consider the context: The system should analyze the player's general statistics and compare them with those of the rest of his squad to award more fair points.
-Incentivize outstanding players: Those who achieve outstanding performances, such as having the most saves or kills in the match, should receive an additional bonus of points as a reward.
With these types of unfair mechanics, it is impossible to fully enjoy the game, much less invest time and effort in a mode that does not value the performance of its players. If these flaws are not corrected, many players, including myself, may choose to stop playing ranked in this mode.

Play the objective.
The truth is I feel frustrated by the score they gave me and it's not the only time, I already have like 20 games with unfair scores.

There should never be negative points, if you play bad you get nothing or very little, if you are good you get more and more. But you should never be able to lose points.

System which is made based on score/minute is just wrong when so many important things during match reward very little score.

Like what the actual f is this demerit system??? It only rewards Assault or Frontline and not the Supports (IE: Medics who ACTUALLY revives people and Snipers who kills other problematic snipers and pings enemies/vehicles to the squad). Even if you win and actually did something to turn the tides of battle ( IE: Placing beacon behind enemy lines) you get Demerit???? THAT AINT RIGHT! It makes me want to quit playing

I feel the same, scoring on the back-line sniping people usually gets extremely low scores. Sucks.

Stinger is actually the go to way to get easy score without being particularly good. You get score for refilling people on ammo, and healing them even if they aren't injured. Revives give out half a kill's worth of score. And healing gives out even more score if the player is actually injured. Stay just behind the front line, healing, ammo packing, and reviving. Do that and you'll easily get a high SPM without getting much kills.

OP's problem is maybe he got high numbers in a match, but the match was a really really long one. Also, he probably wasn't healing and ammo refilling. And he probably wasn't using score-streaks that effectively. A well placed spawn beacon behind enemy lines or a power vehicle can lead to a big increase in SPM. So his SPM would still be low in the grand scheme of things if he didn't do these things.

The fact that people haven't caught this as bait astounds me, seeing how you can't see your K/D in a warfare match.

you have to play the objective and increase your score per minute, thats how it works for now, it should get tweaked though

I think deaths on the scoreboard only show up after the match is essentially over. Perhaps that's where the confusion stems from? The scoreboard doesn't show deaths in the middle of the match though from what I remember, just the end.
