Listen everyone, Bungie is not a stupid company, they will not make everything about kills and deaths. There will be a different stat line for each game type I am sure. There will be a stat line for TeamSlayer, Free For All, CTF, KOTH, Oddball, so on. I am sure the games won and loss will be stored, caps will be stored, and kills will be stored. In other words if you are on a CTF team and you win the game even tho all you do is drive around like an idiot, you will move up in ranking because you won. However it will be obvious who is the better killers and flag carriers by their caps and kill counts for each game. I believe the only time they will do a ratio is in slayer games, and maybe just Free For All. This will determine your individual skill ranking, not how good on a team you are. We'll just have to wait and see what Bungie does but I know it won't be all about kills and deaths so stop worrying. If all you know how to do is drive a vehicle from one base to the other then congrats, you suck but you'll move up in rank if your team wins. Also btw flag carriers, you can't drive ghosts, warthogs, ANYTHING! WHOO! You will have to have a teammate pick you up or crawl back to the other base with the flag because you only move half speed. Also you begin with a certain amount of vehicles, if they are destroyed, you're gonna be walking the rest of the time.. no more free vehicles. So for all of you drivers out there I say HAHA... and I love you Bungie.
Also a qoute from StrangePurple: 'In Halo if you wasn't good with the pistol, you will suck with the battle rifle in Halo 2'. He played the game, he was involved in the Zanzibar demo. So for all of you pistol haters.. I'm sorry, you're still gonna have to learn to shoot. :(
