Score

Score, also known as points, or experience points (XP) for later games in the series, is a way to determine a players advancement to different ranks. A player can earn points by capturing flags, killing enemies, and various other actions; whereas negative action, such as team killing or damaging friendly objectives, deducts points from a player's total. XP is of different value depending on the game and action.

Battlefield 1942 & Battlefield Vietnam

Score in Battlefield 1942 (and its expansions) and Battlefield Vietnam work exactly the same. There are a few ways to get score, and the system is quite simple.

Bonus points

• Kill +1
• Capture flag +2

Penalties

• Suicide -1
• Team kill -2

Battlefield 2142

Scoring in Battlefield 2142 is similar to Battlefield 2, as they use the same game engine. Points are now awarded for support actions, in support of the squad system, and for other examples of teamwork.

Players can earn two kinds of points: teamwork points for actions performed in a round, and global points for awards and bonuses. A special Away bonus is provided to players who have not played a round in some time. The scoreboard reflects only teamwork points, while global points are added to determine a player's ranking. Score can only be earned towards a player's ranking in special ranked servers that forbid mods and require the latest version of PunkBuster.

Basic points

• Kill +1
• Kill assist +0.5
• Neutralize/Capture control point +2
• Neutralize/Capture assist +1
• Healing a teammate +1
• Repair a vehicle +1
• Resupply a teammate/vehicle +1
• Revive a teammate +1

Bonus points

• Squad member assist +1
• Control point attack/defense +1
• Within order radius +1
• Driver ability assist +1 – earned when someone nearby receives support from a passenger, or for piloting an air transport that lands on a Titan deck
• Driver kill assist +0.5
• Targeting assist +1
• Squad leader success +1
• Commander bonus +1 – earned when an average of one success point per teammate has been earned by the team

Penalties

• Suicide -2
• Friendly fire -2
• Teamkill -4
• Team vehicle damage -1 – also applies to devices deployed by teammates

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

In singleplayer, score is a very prominent feature. Players will gain points in the thousands very quickly by completing objectives, killing enemies and destroying enemy vehicles.

Battlefield Heroes & Battlefield Play4Free

In Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free, score is awarded on a different basis to other games in the Battlefield series. Instead of a fixed number of points awarded for killing players completely, points are awarded for damaging opponents and contributing to capturing flags and objectives, as well as using gadgets and abilities to help team mates.

For example, if a player were to inflict 32 damage on an opposing player with one shot, then the player would gain 32 XP points. Points are also awarded for contributing to capturing flags (and the V2 rocket on Midnight Mayhem), but these can range from 3/4 points to 15/16 points, depending on the number of players at the flag.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Score is only present in the multiplayer segment of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Every point of score is tallied up to a total, and then used as experience points to level up through the multiplayer ranks, until they reach rank 50 (General of the Army), where it serves no true purpose other than gaining prestige. These values and relations are the same for the Vietnam expansion. Points are also present in the Onslaught DLC, though these are not used as multiplayer experience points and are tallied in their own separate leaderboards.
