Re: Campaign stats
Posted By: Miguel ChavezDate: 2/5/07 3:40 a.m.

In Response To: Campaign stats (Narcogen)


: Even in Myth?

: I don't know... somehow, I managed to keep one thread of my mind on the story
: of the Legion fighting against Balor, the Fallen Lords, and then
: Soulblighter... and then another on my kills, deaths, vets, and damage
: ratios, which were very useful and enjoyable to have.

: I don't see where Halo 3 campaign statistics would be any more invasive than
: Myth's.

: And then, of course, there's always that coward's way out and the bane of
: those who must provide code support: make it an option! Like turning
: subtitles on or off during cutscenes, let users choose whether they want
: their progression through the campaign interrupted by statistics, or not.

: Or else just have the game track the statistics, but keep them buried in a
: menu somewhere. Have the box keep a statistical record of games played,
: just the way Bungie.net currently does for multiplayer games, and allow
: the game viewer to browse them when requested to by the user.

: If you don't want to see them-- don't look.

: The game already tracks statistics so it can report to bungie.net. It already
: browses them, since you can review y our stats after an online Halo 2
: match. It occurs to me that having at least the same level of reporting
: for a campaign level (shots fired, headshots, deaths) might be fairly
: trivial. The game's not doing anything new, just applying old tricks to a
: new context.

: I, for one, might want to see how many times I died finishing a level. Or how
: many kills I made, and how. Or my shooting accuracy.

: Sure-- so don't look. I'd like them to be there to see, though.

Stating Myth stats are like Halo2 MP stats? Come on. Would you consider Marathon MP stats the same as Halo2 MP stats then? There's a wide gulf of difference there. When folks mention Halo 3 campaign stats, no one is talking about 2-3 lines of info. They're expecting the whole enchilada. That's what I'm on about. But why nitpick is what I'm saying - just get rid of them from campaign in toto. Sure, if you want it to upload the stats to b.net for your future perusal, that's not so bad, but I think it just simply sets bad precedent - I prefer campaign be about quality, not quantity. But that's just me! I'm also the guy that agreed with Jason that body count blows... hard. I know I'm in the minority.

If you want to stick to Halo3 stats as about as vague as Myth stats, I can grok that. It's the 'turned-up to 11' stat wishes I've heard around the community that doesn't do it for me.
