Can somebody tell me how rank is calculated?

I think its HLstats right? That is what is on our servers...?

Anyways I've been trying to improve my pub rank and i want to know how it is calculated. Is it k/d ratio ? or is it points/death ratio? It seems really easy to rise up in the ranks.

Im currently 7.800ish on global and 858/200,000ish otherwise, with 11,000ish points.

essentially, here's the deal :

You kill people, you get points based on how many points they had. Here are the equations they use.

Killer Points = Killer Points + (Victim Points / Killer Points)
? Weapon Modifier ? 5

Victim Points = Victim Points - (Victim Points / Killer Points)
? Weapon Modifier ? 5

The weapon modifier is on the weapon you use. Essentially, you get more points for killing someone with a bat than with your shotgun.

There you are.

Example :

Mr. Dogma has 11700 points. I have 12400 points. If I kill him with the blutsager, how many points will I get?


Killer Points = Killer Points + (Victim Points / Killer Points)
? Weapon Modifier ? 5

= (11700/12400)*1.5*5

= I will get 7 points for killing Mr. Dogma.


Now, it should be noted that the most you can possibly get is 25 points, no matter what weapon you use, and the least you can get is 2 points.

Kill assists get you 2 points, unless you are a medic, you get 4 points.


if you go here, you should be able to tell what each type of special event is worth (i.e. building buildings, dominations... that kind of thing.)


There you are

Due to the diversity of TF2, HLstats is hardly ever correct.

Take, for example, the #1 player. Hes a dedicated engineer, and is some 50,000 points ahead of everyone because he never dies, only his buildings do, which result in easier point gain.

Godly medics can be at the bottom of the list.

Thanks Dreadmaker!

I can see how certain classes would be better for ranks, and its definatley not too accurate. But just the fact that im rising in ranks pushes me to play more

Hopefully this holds me over until I play Matches,

I always gain points when I'm medic due to the points bonus you get for medic assists.

Yeah, it's sort of funny that I get 4 points for healing someone while they get a kill, but only 2 points when I get the kill myself.
