on the main stats page there should be a listing to show how many games were played in the last hour or so for each playlist that updates in as close to real time as you can get. just a lil suggestion to help improve the new site further.

Might I ask what exactly this would accomplish? Sure it would be a fairly entertaining idea, to see how many people people play halo and how much it increases every hour and such. But what exactly would be the point? There really is none, I am just saying that yes it is a fairly cool idea, but it really does absolutely nothing for the community. Excuse me if I am being rude, because of all things, I do not mean to be rude. So, in short; I am for the idea, but not completely. Mainly because it would only be used the first week or so, then it would become something like the search feature that is hardly used by anybody. And because there really is no point in seeing how many games have been played in "X" amount of time in "X" playlist.

the point of doing this would be for this type of example. say your playing and you dont have enough friends online to start a custom so you play something from matchmaking. what this would tell you is what playlist is currently being played by the most people and least people. allowing you to pick one of your fav mm playlists accordingly. and i use the search feature quite a bit.

Look everyone! Skirmish is being played the most! Let's go play it.

I don't see that being a good idea.

I agree.

3 aspects to keeping play lists full:

A) Create play lists that people want to play (That's why they ask us what we like / don't like).
B) Not create too many lists, so that players don't get spread too thin amongst them.
C) Create a system where players choose which list they want to play solely based on the contents (map, game types, etc) of the list.

Letting people know how many people are playing a particular list would be neat, but it would severely break "part C" of the above list of aspects.

All I'd like, is some way of sorting your games played... So you could search to view only Team Skirmish games, or Custom CTF games on Sanctuary in the last 2 weeks etc. That would be fantastic. :]

As for playlists, from the next update I think they'll be getting compacted to squeeze the playerbase into fewer lists and ensure matches. I can see both BTBs turning into one 6v6 list, some of the flavour lists being combined (Sniper/SWAT list, for instance)...

Good idea. That would be a nice feature.
