MVP confusion

[Poggy]

So the MVP in a territory game had just 3 kills, 1 death, and two captures, and wasn't on the winning team.  Most other players seemed to have better stats than him.  The top player on the wining team had 15 kills, 5 deaths, 3 captures.  How is this calculated, because that doesn't seem right?

[LinXX]

Yeah, that seems a bit off. Maybe it is based on the accuracy of the kills and that player had 3 headshots? Maybe having the least amount of deaths is also a factor. I haven't played this enough to understand how that works. 

[Poggy]

Yeah, I guess it must be some factor like that.

Yeah, I don't  know how but somehow I managed to get my first and so far only MVP while playing Hostile Territory. I had something like 2 kills, 4 deaths. I spent the majority of the match hunkered down inside one of the territories my team controlled in order to guard it from capture from the rival teams. I was stunned when I was revealed to be MVP.
