A big part of the problem is that your team's snipers only focus on the infantry in the middle of the map (inexperience), not counter-sniping (for which they award additional points). So not only are you down players playing the objective, but you have to compete with the other team's snipers who have free shots on the objectives.
Eventually we'll have less people playing as scout and more people that understand their role in that class (and others).
It should update fine on the in-game counter. It is really slow to update in the menus.
