I know they never released a point system for TF2 but there must be method to the madness. A standard kill is 1 point a defend is 2(i think) a flag capture is 2. I'm guessing headshots must be more than 2 because snipers always seem to have very high scores over short periods of time. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

That's a complex system. All I know is that a backstab counts as two points. :D

headshot is only two. one for the standard kill and one for the 'headshot' component. same as for backstab. assists are 0.5 healing is 1 for somewhere in around 500 - 700 i think i think engies get some fraction of a point for teleports too but i'm not 100%. cap is two to the person who captured, but i think anyone else who played a part get's one? it really isn't rewarded enough in game i think. i find it strange that for all the emphasis Valve place on team play, the reward individual pursuits like spies and snipers equally (who don't always play for the benefit of the team, more often than not in public servers, my pet peave is snipers who don't take on other snipers leaving the teammates exposed while they rake up the points). yeah, i'm a cranky 'oul fucker. deal with it.

There is no question the point system is far from perfect. I do a splendid job as a Pyro and my ability to scatter multiple enemies attempting an organized attack simultaneously without getting killed is impressive yet I've always felt that the respect(through points) is lacking as I may walk away with one or even zero points after thwarting a powerful offensive. Same goes for defends. I think anyonewho makes akill within a certain distance of the intel should get defend points.

I think you earn points for every purchase above 20 bucks on your credit card at teh valve store. So there is hope for pyros who have fat wallets.
