Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Lets say there was no way to check W/L, or K/D, or any other stat.

What would you do differently? Would you like or dislike it?

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Halo 3 had it right.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

Hi.

How it should be:
Ranked- Has all stats
Social- Has no stats

  • 01.24.2012 12:49 PM PDT

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

I'd rather stats be shown. It adds a bit to the competitiveness of Halo multiplayer, being able to compare stats.

It would be best for everyone if they only tracked 1-50 and maybe playlist exp.

Wouldn't a hidden 1-50 work even better? Like what we thought Reach was going to do?

  • 01.24.2012 1:02 PM PDT

Call me Stu

Shove them all in a box and throw them over board. It will get rid of all the bragging people do.

Why would we want it hidden? That was part of the attraction of getting a 50.

People need some type of goal to shoot for. And you need some type of bragging rights, just as long as you don't go overboard and try and rub it in people's faces.

To prevent boosters?

Would anyone buy an account that is only claimed to be a 50?

There's two main issues, the motivation that people want from getting a 50, and boosters.

Boosting was never really that big of a problem. People will always find a way to manipulate the system. At least the people boosting had to be good.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

No difference.

I had a dumbass trying to sell me his boosted 50, hacked achievements account in Halo 3 a few days ago. Dude had a smoker's voice that cracked a lot. It was hilarious.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

It would remove the "tactic" of using stats to try to shoot down an argument, so yes, I'd rather they be gone.

Maybe then there would be more actual arguments going on here.

Sometimes that "tactic" is rather legitimate.

If Viper Skills comes here talking about how a ranking system in Halo should be designed, people should hold his view higher than, say, mine or yours.

Also, it ceases people who don't know what they're talking about from 'preaching.' Sure, their opinion is still respected, but it holds less weight, and people need to get over that.

First in social ranked firefight campaign competitive and ODST goose splatters.
My other account is UrbanTwisticle
20,000+ total matchmade goose splatters

Check out my YouTube Channel

Although I would still play the same way I would miss the stats if they were gone. To me they add another layer of fun to the game.

I would rather see new things added then things taken away from us.

Being bad doesn't mean you don't know what you're saying.

I thought Darkside was proof of that?

Darkside Eric is only proof because he is getting a degree in game design. Most of the bad players that try to make suggestions are highly uninformed. Like me. I am more informed than average, but still not enough to make good suggestions.

Darkside Eric is in school for gaming.

That's comparable to saying that couches who couch pro basketball are proof that adults who don't play basketball will know about how to play basketball extremely well.

Also, look at the ratio of couches to pro players.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

NO STAT TRACKING!! JUST BECAUSE SOME NUMBER SAYS SOMETHING DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE!! STUPID ELITISM PLAYERS AND THEIR GOOD KDS!! YOU'RE RUINING HALO!!!!!!

Oh wait, this isn't waypoint. Yes full, in depth stat tracking, 1-50 and dedis to prevent network manipulation, no dedis=no 1-50 in my book.
