Although seeing all stats would be nice, with the forge and such many people would have thousands of medals and such since you can give yourself any medal in a custom game. I still would like to have it for my infection stats though.

I definitely like this idea. I mean, if we can have campaign stats, why not have custom game stats? It definitely wouldn't hurt anyone, and would be a cool addition the the personal stats page.

Thanks Recon, and the one con everyone keeps saying is that people would rig their medals...But i don't know why people would think that someone is so good as far as their medals go, it's not something to fear. It's weakness that is compelling so many people (on here and other forums) to say that this would be a bad idea and the only reason they give is because people would rig their medals...do leaderboards go by medals? nope. I say let people who think that medals show how good you are at halo 3 keep whining, I seriously doubt Bungie staff look at top medals and go "ZOMGWTFBBQ he's got 30000 killionaires. He is teh pro!" No, i don't think that would ever happen.

Also, this isn't a thread about the patch and what needs to be fixed.

xfire, I understand, but people will compete over anything... the more pointless, the more passionately they seem to compete.

But the campaign stat tracking, especially at the global level is similarly "pointless", but just as "interesting" or "fun" for some people to look at and consider.

I mean if we are able to see just how many Brute Chieftains died today compared to yesterday, I wouldn't consider it too much of a stretch to say that someone may be curious (or even passionate) that they have gotten X number of medals in their custom games. The "value" of them is admittedly subjective.

Someone who uses customs for nothing but tournament practice with similarly serious players, and someone who uses customs for simply "screwing around and setting things up".... sure, they could both have 30 overkills and each get some pleasure out of that fact. But I would hope that both would know that comparing any two people's custom game stats is even less relevant than comparing apples and oranges.


Yeah I understand. I just didn't want too have people harping over custom games like they harp over Social stats and other such things. Its kind of irritating to see things like that, but I mean I have nothing against campaign stats, actually I like them a lot and wish I could see how many Brutes I killed. So yeah, but I think that it should be made clear that, it isn't boosting if you do it in a Custom game just to mess around, unlike Social/Ranked play lists. But yeah it would be nice, and it would only be a personal pride (like all stats should be).

Yeah but it would be great for those of us who no that they are ligit stats to keep up with. I wouldnt care if people thought they were fake medals, as long as I know they are ligit.
especilly for Grifball. but hopefully that will be an added playlist.

I would not mind at all having a stat tracker for custom games. It would be fun to see ridiculous amounts of difficult medals, impossible k/d spreads. (no sarcasm). It would also be a good way to quickly see what medals you need for your ranked chest.

It also has some very useful applications. Like the OP said, it would be a good way to keep track of MLG or other unofficial game types.

I think if this feature is added players who use it will split into two groups those who ignorantly boost their K/D ration adn those that could actually use this feature such as the MLG community and people who make forge maps alot like myself who could use it to see the heat maps of there forge maps and better
create the geometry of the map

Ehh, I used to have a sig, then I stopped posting here for a long time and it sorta outdated itself, so know I'm stuck with this till I actually start posting again and comeup with something interesting to say.

If, as Recon Number 54 seems to think, it would take very little effort on the part of Bungie to implement this idea, I think it's a great idea. For those who'd just play customs to get an impossible k/d, it would be wasted space, but for the rest of us it could be interesting to see how you compare in games which are generally against your friends, and not against the Halo community as a whole. However, if it were to require a real effort by the team, I think there time could be better spent on things like patches and improving MM (and maybe a custom game finder since we're on the subject of custom games).

Leader of the PMC, Imperial Commander Inbe 'Nebalee. We are an all-Sangheili Halo 3 clan. We also play many other games. If you are interested in forming an alliance or joining my clan, send me a PM.

My real GT is Acknown3, but cannot be linked as Bnet fails.

Please join The Foundry Forgers. We deprately need members who have the new maps. It's all for fun, we hold contests, chill, and may make an animated series.

In all fairness, they're probably very busy right now working on the new maps and the upcoming AU (which I expect is gonna be their top priority until its release, with the hope of ending all the "*insert anything here* is broken with the game" threads; although the Update will still be welcomed on the boards by people complaining that the old way was better or something)
