customizable gamer cards

Gamercard: The information box that appears next to a player when you highlight them in the game lobby. For example the gamercard in Halo: Reach displays the players spartan model and info such as armory completion %, daily/weekly challenges completed, and commendation %.

One feature I think could really add some longevity and immersion to the Halo 4 experience is personal gamer cards that each player gets to customize with whatever information they want.

For example: Let’s say I am a player who focuses on having a high K/D, that would be one of the stats i could have listed on my gamer card.
Another example: I personally love to forge my own maps, you could have your map and the number of downloads or average rating players give your map.

It’s basically like the “gamer card” from Halo: Reach that displays your spartan model and stats such as Armory Completion %, Commendation %, etc. Except you would get to choose what information is displayed. Before each match I personally like to look at what unique stats each player in the lobby might have, only problem is I am most likely looking at the wrong stats and don’t have enough time to scour through the entirety of their stats.

And it would be awesome if they gave you a huge list of different things you could have displayed such as number of a certain medal you get alot, or the number grunts you’ve killed in the campaign, etc.

I really do believe this would pique many of the players interest in the game and allow players to be much more involved in the game. If you agree or disagree please post and explain why.

Edit: Thanks everybody who has supported this idea so far, and I’m loving all the input so far!

But this idea needs MOAR SUPPORT!!! So please people, if you want this feature in the game, leave a quick comment to express that, and thanks in advanced! : D

Nice idea!

I like it.

Does anybody know the best way to bring this into consideration for the game developers? I am passionate about this feature making its way into the game, any help would be greatly appreciated!
: )

Again I am really passionate about doing everything I can to bring this idea into consideration, so please at least post whether or not you think it would be a good feature that you want to see in halo 4.

This could actually work. I like it.

I like this idea.

Are the forums updating really slow for anyone else? Those last 2 posts didnt show up until like 15 min after they were posted.

Solid post - I like the idea as well. Gotham City Impostors features a small customizable “Calling Card” and I will tell you, all my friends and I do are look at everyone’s card and “catchphrase” while matches are loading.

Something in Halo as you described where you could not only do the traditional symbols etc… but info/stats/history etc… would be amazing. :slight_smile:

Yes exactly! another thing you would be able to have on there would be the post game stats for a game you did really good in.

If anybody has any other ideas to what info they would like to be able put on their “gamer card” please post.

We can’t let this die! Please leave your thoughts and concerns on this matter.

i would love this op and ewven if you cant do it i hope it shows your kd so you know wat ur up against

That’s a really good idea!

Also, I like the Titles system CoD has. In fact, it’s probably my favorite thing they brought into shooters.

Maybe you could unlock Titles like cod, and then later on once you unlock all titles in that set, you could put your own text/catchphrase on the titles sets’ background!

I don’t know if anyone gets what I’m saying, though.

If 343 sees your idea, I really want this in the game.

that’s not a bad idea, more unlockables are always a good thing.

Come on guys, i need your support! I understand there is alot to be discussed about the podcast and such, but we need to get this thread going, as to get the attention of the game devs.

I like your idea and i would love to have this in H4

here is a idea i had and would kind of go with yours

Yea let’s totally not copy what Call of Duty does and customize our game card.

Nice idea! I was playing Test Drive earlier and it has a feature similar to this, you can choose what you want other players to see and even show what mood you’re in. I hope there is something like this in Halo 4.

THREAD REVIVAL, Please support!
