changedOne Life matches should now generally award higher scores than before. Overall Multi-Mission scores will not change drastically, but it should now be easier to score points by following the mission rules. Previously, players who attempted to play Multi-Mission matches as intended by focusing on mission points may have been at a disadvantage compared to those players who focused on kills. These adjustments should make mission scoring more enticing for all players. Also, while this isn't reflected in the score itself, the winning team receives more experience than the losing team, meaning it is in the best interests of all players to aim for a team win rather than individual kills.
