Alternative Solution to Game Stats

Games Other Halo
1

Dear Mods,
You have made it abundantly clear that the game stats will not transfer. Since this is the case, is there any way you could change the leaderboards such that

MP Skill Standard/Deathmatch 1v1, 2v2, 3v3

is changed to

MONTHLY MP Skill Standard/Deathmatch 1v1, 2v2, 3v3?

This way there will be renewed competition each month as the leaderboards are reset, and boosters will be discouraged by the fact that they will have to repeat the process each month. Everything else could be left as it is because these are the main areas of competition.

If this was facebook, i would ‘like’ this…

I second this motion…

Hopefully bs angel will find time to write up an email for us regarding this idea. They’ll be more willing to listen to what an Administrator has to say.

This will solve each and every remaining problem.

Already zipped off an email when I saw it in the other thread. As always, I’ll let you know if I hear anything back about if this idea is feasible or not. :slight_smile:

Thanks bs angel.

Its nice to be listened to and have our idea thought about.

Makes a change…

Thanks… and i dont say that often! :wink:

Pretty good idea. Kind of reminds me of how Arena kinda works in Reach.

If this can be changed, it would be pretty cool and it would help stop the boosters like ya said. Great idea.

Thank you =] I sort of think that making the leaderboards reset each quarter may be better though. One month isn’t enough time to get much TS if you don’t play enough. 17 days after the reset, and we still have lower-level, grinders at the top of skill leaderboards. Three months is a better amount of time to get some accurate, current TS.

Thanks.

Instead of one months, I think it would be more of a benefit for 3-6 months…

Whatever works I suppose.

The real message here is something like (sounds harsh)- since WayPoint can’t ban boosters for some reason, we have to rely on the same WayPoint employees to reset the boards? Why can’t they simply just ban boosters? This question has literally been in my head for months…

I think if Way Point is unable(so far they are) to ban boosters, then a 3-6 month period would be best for continuous resets.

Regular resets sounds like a good idea. A 3-6 month cycle might be better for casual players too. The good players would have a chance to pull away so the not-so-good ones won’t match with them as often.

I wish people wouldn’t try to subvert the True Skill system in HW, H3, or any other game. I’ve heard it works quite well as long as the system isn’t being cheated. I’d love to only match with those near my real-world skill level.

Any intel bs angel?

Haven’t heard anything yet about this particular inquiry. If that changes, I’ll let you know.

Thanks for checking back. :slight_smile:

I think 3 months would be perfect. Remember, forcing people to play more often is a good thing.

I really think 343 could make decent money if they released a Halo Wars 1.5 with fixed bugs and drastic balance changes on XBLA. I’d buy it.

Something to think about while they try to work on whatever game they think will keep the Halo Series alive after Reach when they’re competing with Black Ops 2.

Black Ops has the chance to out-last Reach, kind of like the Halo 3 CoD4 type thing. I personally think that Black Ops is a much better game, and an addition to the Halo series is very necessary.
