Score kills not acting right

I played there different maps last night and noticed that kills that I can confirm as good kills be myself never registered as a kill. In fact on one map I must of had 10 or more kills but my kill total stayed at 0.

The strange thing that i think is also going on is the team score is going negative as if these are friendly fire kills. I did have one FF kill on one occasion and I knew it moments after the fact and the text indicated it as well. On the many other occasions in question there was no indication of FF kills on the text, from other players, or myself. The odd thing is at some point later in the mission time (towards the end)the kills i get from some point start to register. But the earlier kills just never show up?

I'm going to try to figure this out more today. It would be nice if I could find someone to test this with...Im new to PR and crawling through the learning process now, I need my kills to register, to ease the pain of being a noob.

I can confirm that. I can kill 3 people by one mag, but my kills counter stay at 1 after 30sec.

Okay, I went online and ran a little test. I got a confirmed kill on a tango and the kill never registered. It didn't give any indication at all.

I killed a tango and destroyed a rally point and did nothing else on the mission. It ended with me having 0 kills, 0 deaths, 119 points, and 0 team points. I know I killed the tango because it was me and him only and he never saw me..I walked up to him and could of knifed him in the back but pumped full of lead instead.

This really sucks for someone like me who has to work my ars off for a kill and cant get the satisfaction. I will explain a little. on one of the maps i played yesterday it was a real meat grinder, bodies were dropping everywhere . I was the only who had a 0 kills, and reality I was somewhere over 10 to my best guest. I keep getting on the flank and pick them off.

The point is my score at the near end of the mission was like 0 kills, 12-15 deaths, It should of been 10+ kills, 12-15 deaths. I'm a noob but this makes me feel like I'm a hopeless noob because my teammates see a score of 0 Kills, 15 Deaths and cant help but think Im sad and it will show up in the COMs eventual.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

This also works the other way. I killed like 7 or 8 people and it counted as 14.

isnt there 30 second delay between kills and the score changes now?

there is, but it's a bit buggy though...
i was having the same issue with 'overcounting' kills on one of the servers...
even though i had not fired at anybody, it appeared that i had killed 6 :S

I believe if they get revived, you dont get the kill.. and if your commander, your kills dont count either.

I have experienced both "Unregistered" kills and "Over-registered" kills, much the same as the previous posters.

I thought it was just me!

Yeah, playing qwai earlier both me and my squad members had kills we had no idea about. So I'm assuming this is a bug related to the 30 second delay?

Let me ask you...would you like to have a score of 0 kills and 10-20 deaths every time you played? I think not!

Only played once for about two hours and I was killing and getting nothing. Shame of it was I typed wtf cheat is that! One was from a tank and killed the guy in the middle of a field and he never got revived I was sitting there covering my side for about ten minutes.

Hope they take a wee look into this, points are the name of the game..well it is for me it’s a measure of how well your doing…….

Apart from that it played really well, its been a while since I was shitting myself walking about in a game. The feel is just right for me.
