Any one know the way the ladder points are given after the end of a game? Is there a formula 4 it? How long can you be in a game, lose and still get 0 ladder points? I keep seeing players with less game points then someone else get more ladder points then them. prime exemple was the last game i played.
..............kills........buldings.......deaths......time....game-pnts....ladder-pnts
#1 me.....6..............0..................2...........7:06........1371............91
#2 him....10.............1.................1...........5:43........1708............84
my rank at the time was 500(somthing) his was 800(something). that game, he had everything better then me k/d, points earned, less time played, killed a bulding....
how/why in the hell did i get more ladder points then him?

Dunno maybe the renegade readme where you can find out, but this little passage just popped out of nowhere on my screen, coincidentally as I was reading this topic.

5.0. Westwood Online Ladder Scoring System
Renegade features a “ladder� system which is used to rank all Quick Match games, and all other laddered games played on Westwood Online. The ladder system utilizes a team based scoring algorithm (since C&C mode is a team game) and it rewards players who play as a team, and who mix a variety of tactics into their play styles.
Here’s an overview of the scoring system:
1. Nobody on the winning team will ever lose points in game (the minimum they can get is 0 points).
2. Nobody on the losing team will ever gain points in a game (the max they can get is 0 points).
3. On the winning team, the players are sorted in order of the number of points they achieved in the game, then the lowest scoring player is awarded 0 points, the second lowest player 1 point, then 3, 6, 10, 15 points and so on.
4. On the losing team, the players are sorted in order of the number of points they achieved in the game, then the best player is awarded 0 points, the next best -1 points, then -3, -6, -10, -15 and so on.
5. Once these ladder deltas have been calculated, they are scaled by the amount of time you played in the game, so for a 20 minute game where you played for 10 minutes, you get POINTS x 10/20.
6. The resultant number is then added onto your ladder points to determine your new ladder rank.

The ladder is too stupid and doesn't do anything right. Plus, it doesn't showcase real talent at all. My advice - don't listen to aantyhing the ladder says.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

If you join in the middle of the game, and you have more points than the person who was playing longer than you, you don't get MVP. That's how the Renegade ladder system works.

I didn't know the ladder is that skrewed up. If you are on a winning teem you get penalized 4 not playing a full game. But it is a good idea 4 the loosing teem...
