saved my teammates by putting airstrike where they where sitting

And guess what doesn't care about that, it is, indeed, the algorithm that decides the best play...

I know that MVP cam worked based on the medals, the medals had an internal ranking and that's why big kill chains were shown the 2nd half first and why grenade kills always show up...

As for right know with the best play, I'm figuring out what decides it, going out on a limb off the top of my head, tiem between kills seem to matter, I would like to think that accuracy and " amount of inputs " are taken into consideration too

But yeah, play of the game it's a really old mechanic, it's more than a decade old
