TF2 is a mechanically dense game, and not even the scoreboard can escape that. I'm sure you've gotten used to it by now - you press tab just to look at your K/D ratio, teammates' points, or something equally as quick and then immediately close it. But have you ever wondered what the little numbers at the bottom mean, like support, bonus, and the like? Or alternatively, have you ever wondered how many points things like captures, invulns, or teleports are giving you? Well for the longest time playing this game, I certainly did, so I wanted to make the definitive scoreboard breakdown video to hopefully explain every little bit about it.

Wowee, look at that, a more analytical video for the first time all year! I promise I'm not done with these yet, I've just decided to focus more on videos with friends since on top of being generally more fun to make, that's the direction my channel seems to be heading. We'll see how stuff goes, but I do have a couple more of these I want to get out later this year/early next year. And as always, thank you for your patience with the added sponsor :)

idk i think scoreboard tracks score
nuh-uh
Correct! You get a bonus point!
Silli cat
what kinda score though
@@usernametaken017the digital in game score
You actually used the fucking suit for the ad lmao
Honestly I think bringing out the fur suit for ads is a GREAT bit.
Is that a Reverend Insanity reference? Fang Yuan from Reverend Insanity? Little Beast King? The Wolf King Chang Shan Yin in disguise?? Fucking suit for the ad is the highest of all living beings. Gu is the essence of Heaven and Earth. Refine fixed immortal travel gu. Reverend Insanity blessed Ren Zu
Was not expecting you to use the fursuit for a sponsor, I'll give you that.
the scoreboard system in tf2 has always seemed like a strange case to me
Is that a Reverend Insanity reference?
The Reason (I think) that the huntsmann gives support points is probably something to do with the projectile being the same as the crusaders crossbow at some point and its just become an artifact in the point system (but idk for 100% sure)
basically, source spaghet
I dont think so, huntsman was released before the crossbow
@@titicaca.but crossbow used to shoot huntsman arrows I think, so its possible they fucked something up back then
He's not a furry, he's a bird.
So he's an Avian.
birds fall under the catergory of furry though. so technically yes he is
@@Leeloo-Foxx You misunderstand, he IS a bird. The fursuit is a disguise, made to trick you into thinking he's a human who just likes animals.
no hes a stork
You fools, it means he's a feathery. If there's furries and scalies, then there's featheries
YOU HAVE A FURSUIT?
great blue birdsuit
I’m gonna guess it’s to hide his identity rather than an actual furry. Also it’s a great blue heron, so fair is fair.
he's based for that
@@rasciii true
thats actually so sick
8:05 I prefer to use the term "super skilled sexy tf2 player points" but pity points also works I guess
Well a spy really needs them
Can't believe you failed to mention that reflecting huntsman arrows can let you get headshots as a Pyro, the stats screen will even say "Most Headshots: X (As Pyro)"
6:50 As a new and fairly doodoo player, thankfully assists count too--specifically for the revenge aspect.
The reason spies and snipers dominate scoreboards i believe is because backstabs and headshots count as double score per kill - allowing them to easily farm points
But backstabs and headshots are also hard to get
@@algotkristoffersson15 Headshots aren't hard to get. Just point and click from a distance where enemies can't harm you.
@@sliftyy except they are. Hitting someone in the head is a lot more difficult than hitting them wherever.
@@algotkristoffersson15 You aren't punished for missing headshots really, you can just rescope and try again. If a Spy misses a backstab he dies instantly, if a Scout misses his shots and can't dodge he dies or has to run away etc. Sniper is the only one who doesn't get punished. And hitting headshots really isn't that hard, just takes some practice and knowing basic tactics like acknowledging which path a player is walking on and placing your crosshair where they'll walk to.
@@algotkristoffersson15 headshots are way toooo easy to get , backstabs are extremely difficult to get
4:50 Bonus fact: Even though you can't push the cart when invis, you actually still get a capture point every 10 seconds, meaning you can sit on the cart with cloak and dagger for infinite points
as someone who has never played TF2 i really appreciate you going over the really obvious aspects of the scoreboard
I feel like if you make a video about a UI element in a game, you should probably temporarily disable the mod you use for that UI element. 2 reasons: the obvious one (clarity and consistency with what most people will experience) and the one were the comments will be full of people asking "what hud is that", "where download link" etc. You're just walking into a tsunami of hud-acquisition questions. No one reads the description for this sort of information.
1:33 blue has a fursuit????
Iirc a bunch of viewers crowdfunded it and he begrudgingly accepted it
@@Weatherboy1102 thats funny as hell
Does Pyro’s invulnerability from phlog taunting count towards invuln points?
No. Invuln just means using ubercharge as a medic
@@averagefanenjoyer8696 okay cool
I can imagine the patch note now.
" Due to popular demand, the heavy is now rewarded for treason, as the medic was already. "
I mean, I know you’re a Pyro player, but you didn’t have to fool furry
Another thing regarding the deadringer faking deaths is the little character icons on the enemy team on the top of the screen.
Killing a spy proper has him show up there.
Killing a spy with a deadringer has him NOT show up there. So if you think one's deadringing, just look at the top of the regular hud or wherever your custom hud moved those icons after killing one
It was fixes few years back, now It looks like he's dead both on scoreboard and top HUD.
@@nyancatec Has it? I've never realised it. Or they fixed it a few years back and its now broken again on casual servers cus I could swear he doesnt show up dead on the icons.
Or it reverts to "not dead" upon the spy decloaking with it, because almost every mfer that uses it that I run into as pyro immediately decloaks
honestly sort of wish I that hadn't seen Schizo MvM, because I can't imagine how funny it would be to see the fursuit without any sort of context or acknowledgement
the fursuit is actually a genius marketing strat since most people skip over sponsor segments, but half the comments can’t stop talking about it
5:58 yes hello its me the 5 passtime fans
they/them mfs:
BASED
12:20 sadly i dont have footage but i have a screenshot of me getting -1 kills in a casual match playing around with the sandman
No way, great blue is a real bird
what do people mean by " he used the suit lol" isnt he an actual human sized bird....
'TJ "Heavy" Yoshi' is a blast to the past and it's really funny to me
Seeing the fursuit was complete fuckin whiplash. I love that you committed to the bit though
Fun fact: My first time topscoring was when I decided to be a tryhard Medic and equipped the Quick-Fix. I didn't help out with the objective. I didn't deal a single point of damage. Literally all I did was heal, and I ended the round at the top of the leaderboard with five dominations.
7:02 Revenge does give you an extra point, though. IIRC they even mention this in the developer commentary as part of their whole "encouraging player interactions" thing.
Great blue really doesn't like TJ Heavy yoshi

1:51 you know you seem to be wearing that fursuit a lot for someone who hates it
btw the domination icon on the scoreboard only goes up to 16. You normally can’t do this unless you play against a really stacked team or playing 100 player servers. You can dominate 30 people but it’ll only show 16.
Fun dead ringer fact, the fake domination/revenge that can sometimes be triggered can give your an achievement if it happens to line up.
One guy in a server once got the Gibus from me by getting revenge when I dead ringered.
We got biblically accurate Birbman before Team Fortress 3. 🗿
The scoreboard tip I've told multiple people whenever there are Spies using the Dead Ringer; it's the ineffective but useful counter to it.
It's also quite funny how the dead ringer actually gives you crits for the diamondback if you backstab someone that uses it, even tho he's not dead (same for frontier justice)
Holy shit how did I not know you had a fursuit
That’s amazing
I would imagine the reason for the payload maps having similar cap rates is due to the ABS game type library for Hammer which most mappers use.
Absolutely insane TJ "Henry" Yoshi reference.
I thougth this was a shounic vid!!
I've once seen a sniper's score go up by 3 for 1 headshot kill. someone in the match informed me that you get ponits for damage and that was likely what it was.
Fun fact, killing someone as they are being auto balanced will subtract one kill from your scoreboard.
It's still so funny to ne that great blue just has a full on fursuit
THANK YOU i always wondered how things are translated to score
I just kinda guess i know backstabs give 2points, headshots gives 1.5 and normal kills just1 but nothing more
okay i may not play pass time but the competetive scene for that mode IS NUTS.
I was actually wondering about this when playing recently, pretty interesting stuff!
hehe TJ "Heavy" Yoshi, someone's a pannenkoek fan
the edge cases: ah!! im edging!
Support actually does contribute to your points. It behaves like Damage/Healing in that you need 600 support to earn one point.
If you look at your example, the Buff Banner on Upward footage (such as at 11:38), you have six points: 3 for your three kills, 2 for bonus reasons, 0 for your one assist, 0 for less than 600 damage, but 1 for more than 600 support.
Now that doesn't mean every point of damage you enable through support reasons is thrown into support. I believe for Jarate for example the rate is quartered. Probably to avoid super easy farming.
OUTRO MUSIC IS BACK HELL YEAH
The suit caught me off guard lmao
right, we needd a quick mod that displays kills at all times without holding tab.
to easily counter dead ringers, obviously
The [X] in tf2 has always seemed like a strange case to me.
Thank you for the info. I always knew I was bullspitting my mvp scores
I have been waiting for this video for years.
I think market gardens should give you a bonus point
I HAVE ALWAYS ASKED MYSELF THIS. THANK YOU MR. GRANDIOSE AZURE!
the scoreboard system in tf2 has always seemed like a strange case to me.
Huntsman probably gives support points because its supposed to be harder to use than the rifles
I love it when Great Blue posts, today's been going great for me
Really like the last minute
it really tracks how many times that Big Finger
a point is a point. You can't say it's only a half
I knew Blue could work up to top scoring a bot game. So proud 🥰🥰🥰

Personally the McChicken is the best chicken sandwich, no not just that the BEST fast food sandwich
@@TheADHDGamer420 as a McDonald's worker, you can do better than the McChicken. you can do SO much better.
Idea: Make a community server with friendly fire enabled and make it be open for a week and see what the response is
The manmelter m2 extingiush thing doesnt have a cooldown, so you can easyli farm a shit ton of points with it
great blue a feathery confirmed
the question is, how does tf2 save your score after each round, the statistics that appear before you enter a game/map, sometimes the game saves your statistics and sometimes don't, which i would be thankfully if you or someone explain to me
Good stuff great blue
cool fursuit dude :3
The only reason I clicked on this video was to learn about the elusive “support” category, and… it does nothing. No points. Ok. Sure.
thank you kind sir for informing me about this
i wish this was 2 hours :( but thank you for the video anyways i am stoned
I've found legit players that thought the main scores were kills, flexing them, when in reality they were 13/70
Hey where's the pinned comment for the advertisement. Where is my home turf
Bro had to pay the bills or the sponsorship deadline was coming up.
ya'll
i think i got my schedule done.

12:13 I was once in a casual game that ended and with someone having -1 kills. I don’t know how that happened in casual though
So if half-points end up granting a full-point anyways whats the point of them even being half-points?
when pyro weapon rebalance video
Half of the comments: Thanks for the vid, nice info
Other half of the comments: FURRY?!
Do a MGEdit 2v2
The suit made me watch the ad
could you go over what you did to get the 71 points at the start?
Ion even know this mf and his 30s old video gets recommended to me.
Anyway, keep the good work Ig
Does the eyelanders hp restoration when killing at max heads get added to your healing score?
if you do damage to someone getting autobalanced you can get a negative kill in casual
3:36 God-tier reference.
Great Blue can you rank the feet of every mercenary in team fortress 2
1:34
Lmao
edit: 1:45
Even bigger lmao
great blue's fursuit always seemed like a strange case to me
Who made your fursuit? Asking for a friend
LOL'd at the fursuit ad and the tj heavy yoshi reference. good video blue i enjoy the informational type stuff
Well my question was answered by the ad
Good suit, ngl
Great Blue is a furry confirmed
