In Response To: Re: another idea (ajenteks)


: I personally agree as well, but I think the argument that people should have
: the option to opt out is not without merit. For people new to Halo, it can
: be disheartening to go into a couple of Lone Wolves matches and get
: stomped by people who haven't ascended up the ranks yet, only to go to
: your stats page and see that really anyone can take one glance and say you
: are terrible at the game.

: I don't believe that by and large most people look up gamertags at random and
: make commentary about the player based on their stats, but the possibility
: of it happening can be daunting to some. Being able to opt out of the stat
: tracking might be a "newbie-friendly" move that could help Halo
: 3 attract more online players.

: That said, I think opting out should not be without cost. If people can't
: look at your stats, they shouldn't be able to see yours either, and I
: think it would also be fair to turn off the military rank progression too.

I would like to see the option to make profiles private. I guess I'm just that sort of a guy though, I like my privacy and I think that it should be an option in most things. The idea of someone teasing you because of poor stats would be a rarity, but if it did happen that would really suck for the person getting abused. If they were public by default then I imagine only a few people who are a little embarrassed by their stats would make them private.
I don't think there should be any cost to it, but that's just my personal opinion, you might be too embarrassed to want your stats shown but would like to check out some high ranking players to try and improve. The military rank progression is another thing which you could be teased about but I would leave it always on as I think it's quite useful to be able to see how experienced your teammates and enemies are. I wouldn't want very experienced players to turn it off just so people wouldn't know how good they were.
