So, I think I've finally moved up a level in Hawken, but it feels like the scoring system doesn't reflect that.

 

Recently, I had a game with 11 kills, 11 assists, 1 death and 2.4 damge ratio, and I got a 261, which is decent, but I routinly see guys who score over 300, 350, every game, and I can't picture what else I can do. More-over, there are games where I have 1:1 kills and damage, and I still get 200 points. The whole system baffles me. Curious, what can I do to boost this meaningless number?   

 

(Note, this just refers to Team Deathmatch. Thanks!)

ah youl be surprised how a few months can land you above the average player and thats all it takes to feel like your constantly mvp in tdm

For pretty much anything not called a Tech in TDM:

The following raises your score:

- Dealing damage to opponents who die shortly afterwards

- Getting the kill

- Dominations

- Killstreaks

- Revenge Kills

- Stuff

Doing lots of damage to opponents who die gives much more score than just kill-stealing.

 

The following don't affect your score:

- Dying any number of times or not at all

- Getting a good or bad K/D ratio

- Getting a good or bad damage ratio

- Doing damage to opponents who don't die shortly afterwards

- Winning or losing

Scoring higher than everyone else will most likely raise your MMR, which will make you able to play with better players.

 

Regardless of no score penalty for deaths, try not to die too much.

You collect points for dealing damage to mechs who die with that damage.  Edit: (I believe this to be true:) if they heal, they heal all damage pro ratia, so everyone who did damage to them loses potential score until they either are at full health or are killed.

 

(The other alternative is the oldest damage is healed first.  I've never slowed down enough to really analyze this.)

 

If someone else kills them after you did half the damage to the victim, you get 15 points.  If you did all 455pts on an Assault, you get 30 points, then bonuses.

 

Bonuses come for savior, avenger, domination, ending domination, multikill, underdog, kill streak.

 

A moderately-skilled player can get 700 points in a TDM against average players because he/she could go on killstreaks and get multikills.

It does, however, raise the score of your opponents, so for MMR calculation purposes it might as well.

i find raiding a pack of avg players  effective when darting to ones who are looking away first and after i kill him his teamate who should have me hurt by now will also  be  taking fire from my team as i hop round in a pack pulling attention then i just start finishing them each off one blast a time, key to alwase watch radar i almost alwase can boost up on someone without them seeing radar till im right on em

Hmmm, thanks.

I'm agree with people above me, giving damage is more important rather than steal a kill..
more percentage of damage you give, more points you have..
