So answer this question if you are all great and knowing of everything...What is the deal with page 27 of the Halo 3 booklet, where it states that Bungie.net is the leaderboard for Halo 3? When I think of leaderboard....I think of ALLTIME stats...like every other videogame has...not just stats from one previous game...it is time to stop short changing customers and to deliver on what has been advertised on the game packaging, in the game's instruction manual, and on various websites selling the game.
Calm down man! They are doing everything they say, it's just not showing up because EVERYONE loved the game so much that over 1,000,000 people play at once. That combined with a few small bugs (which Bungie keeps reminding us of, if you read back in this topic) presented an issue that overwhelmed their system. Your data is safe, it will be updated, and you need to stop saying they aren't living up to what they said they would. They handled the biggest entertainment release of all time without a hitch, and are now getting clogged up as they refine the process. Give them time to prove themselves, and in the meantime enjoy playing Halo 3!
I could enjoy playing Halo 3 more if my friend and I had some stats posted online to fuel our competition with eachother as it states in the game manual. Some people actually like competing with eachother...sort of a friendly rivalry, yes it is still a very fun experience...I love teabagging a friend, and then making a video clip and recommending it to them, but it is always better to be able to compare stats and truly see who is doing the best...Bungie realized this and set up a system so that we can all do this...however their system is flawed. Bottom line is this, Bungie should not make promises they can not keep. The excuse that there are too many stats to keep track right now is BS. Everyone that was not living under or rock knew that this game was going to have millions of gamers playing...hence over a million in game pre-sales.
Its not fair to expect perfection from the people at bungie. Your game works and it isn't buggy. THAT is what you forked over $60-120 for (amongst some vid-docs and the like). You can get online. THAT is what you pay Microsoft for. Who do you pay to see your stats online? No one. Bungie doesn't make any money off of this website. All-in-all, its likely a money sink keeping it up and getting this stuff updated consistently. So when it breaks, you're not only unfairly angry that it broke in the first place, but you expect them to fix it instantly? Sorry, thats not how the world works. They'll fix it when they fix it. Its not like they can simply reboot their servers and it will all work again. They've apparently got some bottlenecks in data movement, some problems with data storage, and god knows what else. Be patient people. Its not like you can't play Halo 3 while you're waiting for them to fix it.
