My biggest issue with the score system is in games of CTF, a team can win by score and not by flags. Mode-specific scoring should always take priority in my opinion.
Recognizing score as a factor means the outcome of many close matches previously won(Particularly in tournaments) are now up in the air; there will be those who argue for past matches to be reevaluated and any tournament runner worth his salt knows not to skew the outcomes, yet is now forced to consider the scores in future games he knows may have had influence in the past. Either the tournament runners are hypocrites to one, or lack conviction to the other.
What if score was used to determine the position of a player among his teamates but not whether a team won or lost? That way score can be used to encourage "proper" gameplay but won't decide the outcome of a match.
