I have been playing with the Halo 2 RSS stats feed and would like to request this feature be expanded.

Currently this contains the kill data from different matches, is there a place with the XML of the specifics of each match?

I would like to make a site to store player stats and display detailed information for players (like the .xls file that was floating around but with a higher level of detail.)

Thanks to the bungie staff for even offering the XML to us!

So i wrote my own parser for the feed and the stats are availible at http://myHalo2stats.com

Does anyone know who to talk to at bungie about getting more information in the feed. This is just a basic site to store stats, but I'd like to expand the system to give player rankings beyond the top 1000 offered at bungie and detailed statistics of each game.

PLEASE HELP! I know the rest of the Halo community would really like to have this information availible. I don't want to rip the stats directly off of your site like many of the other people have begun doing with perl scripts. More feeds also opens up the ability to code more fun tools like the flash apps developed for the current feed.

I use lastrss for the generic xml parsing. I then strip out all the html in the description field. The <br/> is actually useful for splitting up rows or data. HERE is a sample of what I'm working on. Note the colors (except team colors) are just placeholders for CSS.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I'd like to make something like the stats file taken from www.onespartan.com, but I have no clue how.

I would but I don't know flash. By the way the new link to the sig your asking about is http://www.haloimpact.com/flash/halo2stats.html

Well first do you have Flash MX? This is the first place to start.

If you do there are some good tutorials on the Macromedia site for dealing with feeding the flash animation variables. All you do is parse the file and feed the resulting variables to the flash program.

I'm really impressed with the amount of information you can get with the stats feed, you can really make some interesting formulas for some great data from them. As for a place with the XML specifics of each match, I would think those would exist, but I don't think they would be easy to acess publicly (although I may be wrong). Hopefully someone from the web team might respond, that's a good question.

I have Flash.

Thanks, I'll check it out once I have a bit more time.

i doubt they exist since bungie can pull the stats off of their database and a XML file would be pointless for them. This information is already public so them creating a feed for us should be no big deal, and hopefully they agree.

This should give you the basics of flash and xml.
