Why call it conquest at all? I usually conquer the most flags in most matches where I do well. Today I had the highlight of being the top flag capturer after the last game I played. Yet, I think I was number 9 in the scores. Who had the top score? A damn sniper with the most kills. Same in the previous game. I bet they didn’t even bother stepping on a single objective all match long. Your new system rewards pests. It gives free points to campers both snipers and tankers who are in the winning team. And it punishes good players in the losing side. You’re listening to very bad counsel & I already know which youtuber gave you this idea, I watched his video complaining about the “casuals”. Well he should have gone to play team deathmatch to focus on farming kills and you should have left conquest alone. At least it could be called conquest before. What should we call the new game more? ‘Farmville Snipers’? ‘Socialist Conquest- get points for doing nothing’? I dread the upcoming June update. Who knows what else you will implement to further destroy this game.
I didn’t know about this, in bf3 snipers are at the bottom of the scoreboard, but see friend I don’t think they care
I’m worried too, they are changing the points system to much, I hope we don’t lose conquest in years down the road. Its becoming unrewarding to use your head and play tactically, the transports not spawning when they should at your head quarters is a sign that they are dumbing it down.
U crazy bro u must have had no kills cus capping flags gets u way more personal points. U gotta kill too bro that’s part of bf!
I don’t need points to justify ptfo and supporting my teammates
I like how he assumes the sniper was camping.
You don’t actually know what he was doing op, just because you capped most flags doesn’t automatically mean you will be top.
Just sounds like a rant because a scout outplayed you.
Case of git gud?
Yes as I am an infantry scout who often gets top in captures/kills combined gotta do both
See friend I just think he is right that the flags points being rated higher than good KPM is the way to go with these games, I didn’t see if he capped flags or what his sniper buddy did I’m not his GF, just pointing out a general rule
Not even sure what you’re getting at here.
I was referring to the op.
I am getting at the OP too, he apparently went after all the flags, but a sniper allegedly hillcamping (but with a good KPM) scored higher than him, that , if true, sucks
this story is a real national tragedy
It’s not true, ops just b**thurt
Made a right mess of this lol

I see thx for the information, that sucks even more (if true)
They need to triple the tickets gained for having flags, never mind the XP score for flags.
To be fair, if that sniper was top of the board he probably stepped on a few flags. Also, a good sniper is a good addition to the game.
Now, when there’s 10 snipers and 8 of them are doing it real badly… Ugh. Game over. If you’re going to do badly, at least provide a target at the objectives and catch a bullet for your team mates. Even stay under cover and throw meds, but be on the flag burn.
I think DiCE should play with ideas like just not showing the KD stats on Conquest games. They need to somehow make it clear that if you’re prioritising your KD you should probably be playing a different mode.
You will never change some people’s behaviour, though. They should not be playing team games at all - they have no interest in the rest of the team or the objectives of the game. Other people are just there to provide realistic targets.
Well, whatever the change was supposed to do it didn’t work.
Maybe look at team balancing Dice if you want closer games.
I don’t think the change was supposed to enhance PTFO. I understood it was to make it so people who had to leave the flag burn momentarily had a better chance of scoring the points for the capture. It did do that.
Bring back beta conquest!
Maybe in years to come the flags will vanish and in their place will be logical positions of strength to attack defend from, when we have lots more power to work with, after all a battlefield doesn’t have flags, i’ll miss them though, we could still have proper CTF for the flag carrying buzz, and remove the scoring in game maybe, tally up at the end and don’t make it known how many points are earned for whatever.
That’s the answer right there
