Damn, a positive score from Sovereign, and while it's a different ratio, I think it's safe to say THESE Olympics are designed more for docking points than awarding them, I would say a total of 36 is still pretty damn good considering the worst platoon may very well finish with less points than the match starts with. And I HIGHLY doubt any platoon gets above a 50%, or 55 points.
You are absolutely correct. The highest points possible is 110. The lowest would be like... -1000 or something. I'll have to do the math at some point since the game does technically come to a hard end if the Platoon loses 100 players (they would have to die completely 3 times over for this to happen, it would be an insane feat to even pull off in 1 hour.)

That hospital objective was honestly kind of vague. Those apartments being counted as part of the hospital should probably have been made more clear to them.
The objective text as stated is to 'clear the hospital and surrounding buildings'. They simply never cleared the western apartment areas which are very much classed as a surrounding building. Unfortunately one major thing noted in debrief was players needing to take better note of what the objectives actually were because too many just didn't read the objective list.
@@RimmyDownunder Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't see that specific wording, so I assumed it was just the hospital. Those apartments definitely *do* count as surrounding buildings.
When the first ambush happened I was wondering " Is anyone going to make the absolute worst decision and stop/engage?" - And I was not disappointed lmao. Always push through fast as possible.
Really important learning experience for everyone especially with the big brain strategy from the enemy commander which was unrelated to his commanding lol. That ambush was a real rough way to start.

That's how ambushes work. That was bad luck. The problem was they armad 2 vehicles because they hesitated on pushing through. If they had just full sent through the ambush, it would probably have done nothing. Instead, they hesitated and the front 2 vehicles collided, then the last 2 vehicles turned around inside the ambush and drove away.
there is a keybind for instantly cuffing someone that you're looking at if they are close enough and dont have a weapon out. looking at their hands and finding the interaction is nearly impossible if they are moving at all.

No, the downed Heli is counted as part of the civilian evacuation, both of them together is one objective worth 20 points, which they did receive.
