From reddit, the match bonus formula is as follows: Where Scaler is 1 or 0.5 if you win or lose, respectively, and match length is the length of the match in seconds. For your viewing pleasure, I made a spreadsheet here showing levels 10, 20, etc. for 10 minutes matches. To input your own values, make a copy of the spreadsheet (File > Make a copy...). Conclusion from this: match bonus is very potent starting about half way through the prestige. According to just XP, the halfway point is level 60, but it's much sooner than that thanks to match bonus. Also, the XP reward from challenges should be way scaled up when just playing a single game rewards more experience for having decent teammates.

I thought it was this:
matchBonus = 10 * Scaler * (3 + ( yourlevel * 0.5 ) ) * 10 * ( ( maxmatchLength)/60 ) *(yourmatchtime / maxmatchLength)
Scaler = 1 if you win the match, 0.5 if you lose, .75 for a tie
Where all times are in seconds

...Guess I've been playing the game all wrong: for the longest time I thought the match bonus was calculated from the number of T-Bags performed on dead enemies corpses. Oh well, next game...

Max match length is of no importance: look at the equation you wrote. It cancels.

Well what do you know! I guess I'm simply paying for copying a equation of the internet.
But what about MW2 Demolition? For some reason that match bonus is crazy.

You know what they say about long games. Huge match bonuses.
(In MW3 at level 80, you earn 7XP per second of game play if you win.)

So match bonus has no correlation with kills/deaths? Or points earned?
Also, for the "match length" does it calculate the entire length time or only the time that you're alive?
I should just camp whole demolition games while performing other tasks.

Aren't points for destroying killstreaks displayed in match bonus as well? Or did you say that and I missed it.

Wow, I had no idea that the match bonus depended on your level. palladium I doubt that killstreaks destroyed have anything to do with your match bonus. The only factors that matter are your rank, how long the match was, and if you won or lost.

I ran a quick test...if i am level 80, win a nine min match....that comes out to 3,870 match bonus. Whereas losing would equal 1,935. Is that correct?

Seems about right. I've been in the 70's for a while and I consistently get about 4,000 EXP bonus whenever I win a S&D game.

I always forget this stuff....maybe someone can help me out. You have a base raw score in CoD. If i'm using Domination for example, this is the formula below....
Base Score = (kills x 50) + (assists x 10 or 20) + (caps x 150) + (defends x 50)
And that's the score you see on the scoresheet at the end of the game. Then when the lobby begins, you still see people's scores in the pre-game lobby board. This is usually somewhere between 1,200 to 3,000 pts per game. This is what one of the four Leaderboards show....your total score. Most people on average get around 320,000 to 400,000 points per Prestige usually (playing however many games needed, 190, 200, etc...)
The above Match Bonus Calculator....which is given for winning.....only shows up in the XP score? Your XP score is the above Raw Score point total....plus the above match bonus, ...plus whatever challenges you get done in that game (the hundreds upon hundreds of XP challenges offered each Prestige) Your total XP score per game is usually , for most people, then between 8,000 to 10,000 per game....trying to get to the 1.746 million XP needed.
Is that about right?

Supposedly. The reddit source in the OP includes video evidence. Match bonus is only shown as "match bonus" in the post game summary. I don't know if it adds to your overall score in the barracks/Elite, but I'm willing to bet that it doesn't.

So it would appear to only aid in your XP leveling, for prestige stuff. It doesn't help in the worldwide rankings for one's Score.

Thanks, from another user on Reddit it can be simplified like this: Match Bonus = W * M * ( ( L + 6 ) / 12 ) W = win/loss (1 if win, 0.5 otherwise) L = level (1-80) M = actual match length (in seconds) Makes it much easier to calculate on the spot

I'd like to add something important about this. In Black Ops, I managed to make a full prestige without killing anyone, and in many games, despite capturing many points, I didn't get a match bonus at all. However, getting a single hitmarker with a gun granted me the match bonus. But this was on precise conditions, getting hitmarkers on UAVs didn't grant me the match bonus, however doing so on helicopters and attack dogs did.
In MW3, you need to score a kill at least to get a match bonus (reported by a guy who did a full prestige on MW3 without killing anyone). So getting a hitmarker isn't enough to grant the match bonus.
EDIT : Apparently getting an EMP grant you the match bonus. I don't really understand, but apparently there's precise "secret conditions" that if you meet them (it should be pretty simple), it grants you the match bonus, otherwise, it's 0 no matter what.
If you don't, the game considers you didn't took part in the match, so you don't get the bonus.

I keep forgetting about this thread when I play. But I don't buy into it and I will keep tabs over the next few days.
First off, I often times do not get a match bonus when playing infected or if I do it is really small. For example even if the infected game was 3 minutes long (180 seconds) and I am level 64 I should either get 1,050 or 525 xp. I get nowhere near this.
In addition, you are telling me that two level 60's on the same team playing TDM. One goes 4-6 and the other goes 40-2. They are going to receive the same match bonus?
Hmm, I will report back in the next day or so. Has anyone else tried to proof this?

Hmm didn't see the video, sorry.
But here is what I got from last night.
First off, Infection consider's it a loss for bonus calculations if the zombie team wins and you were not the first infected. It is a win if you were first infected and every one else becomes infected as as well as if you can survive the whole match w/o being infected. But still I can't get the #'s to come out to even within reasonable estimations on some matches. But this is probably not a very good example.
I was however pretty close on my calcs for a few Domination matches, but again, not dead on. Close enough though. Unfortunately, I did not have any two players in my squad that were close in level to compare XP.
