Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood -- multiplayer scoring question

[teknoarcanist]

So let me start by saying that for those of you who haven't given Brotherhood a whirl...if you haven't played Assassin's Creed in multiplayer form, you haven't played Assassin's Creed. I'm enjoying JUST the multiplayer of Brotherhood more than all of AC1&2 combined. It accomplishes what both games set out to do and came just short of -- immersing you totally in the mind of a cunning predator.

Now for those of you who DO play...
...last night, I placed second in a session, and I had done pretty damn good. So I brought up the scoring and saw that the guy that got first only did so because he had kill(s) labeled 'agony' which netted him 1200 points. Any idea what that was?

I'm not sure about agony kills. When I play, I notice that a perfect stealth kill is worth 400, yet people are getting 450 or 500 on certain kills.

You get bonuses for certain things, like being in disguise, in a morphed group, etc. The most I've ever gotten on one kill is 750, and that was an incognito aerial kill with a variety bonus...and I may or may not have been in disguise? Don't remember.

This game BADLY needs a forge-style match camera and video sharing.

There's a perk that, if you have a 5-kill loss streak in a match (that is, you are killed five times without making a kill or five kills are stolen from you), the score of your next kill is doubled. One of my roommates has netted 1200 points on a single kill with it.

That said, I don't believe I've even seen an Agony kill.

I looked through the scoring tables in the PS3-edition (they are right there along with the unlockables in the information tab) and as far as I remember there is no "Agony"-score. There are the usual incognito/silent/discreet and bonuses for poacher (stealing a kill when another assassin is within 10m and has the same target), Saviour (killing someone who is within 10m of their target), aerial kills, blended kills, morphed/disguise etc. But no "agony" as far as I could see.

I believe that its a kill via poison when your target never realises you were there.

Its quite a kick in the nuts when your screen turns green and you fall over dead.

What I would consider a "perfect" stealth kill is worth 550 points. You walk up next to the target, and wait 3 seconds for the focus bonus and then kill him. You get 100 for the kill, 300 for silent and 150 for focus. You can also get that focus bonus with aerial kills.

I got 750 for a kill once, but I have no idea how. I think it involved a smoke bomb and a variety bonus of some kind.
