TAM scoring is done by a damage system rather than a kill system. Every X amount of damage you do to the other team (don't know how much; I remember MaStur mentioning 100 though), you get a point, and I don't think suicides matter anymore point-wise. The "Overkill" award means you do a lot of damage when you kill someone who only had a little left, i.e. tossing two rockets at them when they have 30 health, etc. The "Dark Horse" award is given if you take out a whole team in a 1v3+ situation. I think there are others but I haven't encountered them yet.

All they need now is a "Spammer!" award and a "Poach!" award. The first would be good for people like Dird and the latter is for when you do nothing but let your teammates take down everyone's health while you get the kill(s). Wouldn't be too hard to implement, methinks; just compare the number of kills they've gotten with the amount of damage they've doled out the entire match. What would be really nice is awards at the end like in Goldeneye for the N64... :D

Got a chance to play it myself. While I usually bail TAM on a full server I can see the reverse FF decimating teams in this situation.
I really don't like FF (of any kind) since it's not on in any other gametype but the less ppl there are the less it bothers me.

the FF in TAM is reversed. As in: you shoot your ally -> you lose health. The FF scale is pretty low right now, so it's hard to even notice.

Are there flags in TAM? :con:

Reverse friendly fire enables shock, mini, and lightning suicides, which I think is hilarious, personally.

The Nicest Parts of Hell
TAM 2.50 (approximate changes since 2.40)

100 dmg = 1pt = 7 adren.
Kill = 1pt = 7 adren.
Overkill = At least 50 damage past 0, and at least double the damage they have.
IE: Target has >50 = Health + 50 dmg on killing shot.
Target has 50> = health x 2 dmg on killing shot. (@60 health, 120dmg is overkill).

Each round won = -2.5 armor / -2.5 health. (meaning it's permanent loss until end of match)
Each round ahead of other team = -2.5 armor / -2.5 health. (meaning if the spread goes the other way, it goes plus)

You no longer get adren (iirc) for most awards, but you do get awarded adren for damage involved in an overkill.

Adrenaline is no longer regained during Invis, and max boostered health is 125% of round starting health (default).

Speed duration has increased (27 seconds).

That is the most relevant stuff I can think of off the top of my head. Other stuff about FF, and DH has been stated fairly accurately already. I think some default ammo outs were adjusted too, but they are hardly noticable. It's hella tight, but then I've liked it since the start. I may actually make it a bit this weekend, I think I'm early cut 2x. Unless my friends make me be social again :(
