Do actual psychologists ever use the data from your games? I'm just curious, because it seems like they could help interpret it which would help you build better maps in the future, with science.

How/Where are you getting the GPA data to compare? Or are you using another variable?


I'm using team slayer trueskill ranking as a skill metric.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I didn't know Bungie had a psychologist working for them.

I guess you try and look for habits and different methods to entice and keep players playing.

Like how games have reward systems that make players "feel good" about them or using certain colors to invoke a certain emotion in game.

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

Isn't someone who cheats likely to have a falsely inflated trueskill, skewing the results?

That was my point before. How would that be addressed in the experiment?

Drinking coffee and reading the forums.


Ok, ok, serious answer. Personally, I'm looking at some old ban data from Reach at the moment. There was an article a couple of days ago about the fact that college students tend to be equally likely to cheat regardless of their GPA, so I'm looking to see whether the same thing holds true for Reach players.

And before any of you run amok speculating, this doesn't have anything in particular to do with our next game, just something I'm curious about this week. :)
So, in other words, recess.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

If someone actually says that they never cheated in school, that person is lying.

Why isn't anyone wondering what I'm doing!? *Pouts*

Posted by: crazyfoomandude
Just wondering.


Knowing Bungie... I'd presume they're either working on a new video game, eating some pizza or hanging around the office.

Wouldn't a cheater's trueskill be distorted by the fact they, you know, cheated? If they've got a small set of games, the data is unreliable due to the significance of the cheating, but if you only consider a subset of cheaters that match a certain reliability profile, you're distorting the data yourself.

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

It's British English.

Organizations are normally referred to in plural because there are multiple divisions and/or people involved in performing activities or strategies. It's based on the idea of collective responsibility - i.e....

"The government are considering raising the motorway speed limit to 80 mph."

The reason why that sentence is correct, when dealing with parliamentary systems, is that while the Transport Secretary may consider the policy, the Government as a whole (the Prime Minister and various other secretaries and ministers) determine the policy.

"Manchester United have scored another goal."

In US English, we'd say Manchester United has scored another goal, because we view the team as a singular unit - players are part of a team.

In British English, the team is made up of the players who are working together. "Those players have scored a goal" is how that sentence would be read if we used pronouns instead of the proper name.
