Ehh. The ratio may mean crap but kills net more points than captures (especially when you lock up a few zones). If spm is so important, kills are still the top of the scoring pile, right?

exactly. Kills net you more points and the scoreboard is orginized by score. so it list kills so you understand how they got a higher score rather then "OMFG WTF HE HAS 6 CAPS HOW DID HE OUTSCORE ME!?"- honestly happened in a halo 3 lobby btw.

So if rewards are driven by spm, how do kills not help as much as captures or the like?

you missunderstand me, i believe. basicly there is no matchmaking based on trueskill due to that is how the reward system works. if you get 1 kill and 10 deaths in team death match and they are all by someone who has a better combat rating you are not punished as harshly as someone who gets 3 kills and 4 deaths by lower combat rating. You get rewarded for killing the better combat rated. You get penilized for dying to someone with a lower combat rating. Your SPM/KDR plays into it, but whom you kill counts more for then how many- and in objective you are rewarded more for solo caps/score then if the whole team is there. is any of that making sense? i dont even know anymore.

Yeah, actually it does. Thanks!
