"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

I was playing Halo today and I got the banshee on AOTCR. I went into the place where the two hunters are and the giant canyon. Then I parked the Banshee and sniper everything. I then all of a sudden got the idea that could be a Halo 2 suprise. Most people only play Halo for Multiplayer now.
What if when you hit the BACK button in game play a list of stats showed up, like how many Kills you have and how many bullets missed and -blam!-. I think that could keep the actual game play fresh for a hell of a lot longer.

That would rock, i mean really. The MC has enough computers in his armor to run a ship's AI. The poor thing has to get bored, and would be able to tell him whenever the MC's aim was getting just a little poor, or what-ever really.

Its a good concept, but its a little pointless beside that, plus the numbers would be a little high. Because they would have like "Total shots fired:" and since the SP maps are so big the number would be like 6,000 it might just lag up the xbox to have to calculate that much for no reason

I was thinkin that like a hundred times but then i realized what about the flood? that would rack up unnessicary< or how ever you spell it, numbers and make it look like your a constant killing machine when you blow up a carrier and rack up like 6 kills

yah i cant spell, and the kills would be really high. Xbox's lag when u hit dead elites i can only imagine how it would affect the game if it had to constantly add hits/misses totals kills etc. Its a good idea but mabye out of the Xbox's processor capabilities

I can just hear Cortana now, criticizing you for every poor shot.
"You don't really think you can beat a banshee with a pistol, do you?"-Cortana
"It's been done."-MC
"Oh, now your acting all tough cause you managed to beat it one with a pistol ONCE. I hate it when you get all -blam!-y, you could get killed!"-Cortana
"You're a bit angry, what's the deal?"- MC
"They just pushed back the release date for Halo2."-Cortana
"No!"-MC
"Yes."-Cortana

its alright, but i'm tired of statistics like accuracy, and all that other shots fired stuff....

I beleive you could just leave it to the multiplayer, i mean in Single player, you muck around, and miss on purpose. Sorta make the stats inaccurate. Also, DO NOT!!!! do this in multiplayer, getting competetive is a BAD thing in multiplayer Co-op. I dont care if i have more accuracy or less kills or anything, its a team work thing. no-one did better than the other player!

well ya, as it's been said, it's not the BEST idea ever and all, and ive been thinking that after the first time i beat the second level lol. ive beaten the game on all difficulty levels a number of times, and it would be pretty kewl to see just how much covie ass ive kicked :P.

Ya it would, plus you can brag about how many Damn aliens you killed on legendary and didn't run by. A lot of people just say screw it and run threw levels on legendary.

NOOOOOOOOO!!! Annoying statistics!!

You muck around in single player and get retarted statistics like large amounts of deaths, and team kills.... (killing marines) (also shooting for no reason, BAD statistics)

So i wouldnt like them, but i guess you could have them

............................................................. .....Total shots made: 570
