Why should having stats benefit gameplay in any way? It doesn't. It's just an ego boost to keep you playing. [/quote]I've never once cared enough about my stats to keep playing. I doubt anyone (barring the BTB colonel teams) cares enough to play for stats.
I guess I was wrong. Ad hominem doesn't really make a difference here, because that's full on pants-on-head right there. That, or you've never actually played Halo. The latter of which seems more likely right now.
As for removing stats, it would be beneficial in that people would play for the game, not the numbers.Untrue. Take games where stats aren't tracked like Goldeneye or Counter Strike. The exact same behavior Reach has infests those games too, and they don't track anything. Fact is, people want to brag, and having a lot of kills is more impressive than having three flag grabs.
Bull. I've played plenty of CS and Goldeneye. Have you? There are a few crucial aspect you're overlooking. Mainly the feasibility of 'stat'-whoring in either game.
And don't tell me nobody plays for the sake of padding their stats. You're not that retarded.Ad hominem? Sure thing.
I've come to the conclusion that you're not retarded, but are in fact a conspiracy. You don't actually exist, you've never played a video game at all. You're not even posting on this forum. I'm just completely bat-blam!- crazy and I'm in a coma in a mental institution dreaming all of this right now. Because you sir ain't makin no sense.
Edit: quotes are -blam!-. No idea how to fix it. Don't care.
