I was playing Plunder today thinking,  since you have to throw the treasure around a lot, you should definately get points for asists. Like in hockey, a sport where passing is very important.   What do you guys think,  If they revamp the scoring  system so you got 2 points if you took it to the goal, 1 point if you threw the treasure, it got picked up by a teammate, and put into the goal.  I think  It would help leveling some. In general i really like the Plunder mode, the climbing and throwing the treasure is something that will hopefully make the game exciting if the levels are made right.

Assists would be a nice touch in any CTF-esque game, but it probably is this way for simplicity's sake. I haven't thought too hard about it to be honest (Much too tired), but I imagine there is a whole undercurrent of difficulties that would come from what constitutes as an assist.

I agree with the assist scoring idea. Since you can throw the flag in Plunder, the person who got the damn thing way over to the base in the first place is almost never the same person who actually scores the capture. Maybe anyone on a team who holds it in a sequence where the opposing team didn't gain possesion of the treasure should get points?

you should automatically get a point (not sure how much) for every second you carry the treasure. you should get a point if you were through it and then someone else on your team captured it.
