Goodbye ODST Firefight Stats!

Now that the Bungie Site doesn’t track stats anymore. Waypoint/343 wants to push players away from good ol’ Halo 3 and ODST. I think this deserves a moment of silence, to say farewell… sniff

Moment over. Now get out there and show 343 why they should carry those stats. Play the games!

>No more visible stats
>We should obviously stop playing

You know, there was a time when companies didn’t track game stats. That was when people played the game to enjoy it. Who cares if stats aren’t tracked? It doesn’t make the game less fun. It doesn’t affect the game at all! As long as you enjoy the game, stats don’t matter. When 343 said that they won’t track those stats anymore, they meant it.

They said they had to plans to develop stat tracking for ODST & Halo 3 at this time, they may very well return in the future.

Really? Where did you read that?

> The final transition for Halo services takes place in four days. As part of this planned stage, Bungie will no longer be able to update game stats and player service records, host new user-generated content, or operate the Bungie Pro Service after March 31. The most noticeable impact will be on features seen exclusively on Bungie.net, such as rendered films, nameplates, and Halo: Reach API keys. They are not included in the transition, and we do not have plans to develop similar features for prior games.
>
> Part of the final transition for Halo services is unlocking Halo 3 Recon armor for all Halo 3 players. That process, which was started this morning, will take place in waves over the next few days. If Recon isn’t unlocked for you today, please check back later.
>
> On April 1, we will begin increasing Halo: Reach File Share capacity from 6 slots to 24 slots at no extra charge. This will also take place in waves, and the process is expected to last several days. We thank you in advance for your patience as we work to give this expanded access to all Halo: Reach players.
>
> <mark>The real-time export of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST data to the web will not be supported on Waypoint at this time, as we are focused on bringing Halo: Reach File Share access to the Halo Waypoint website, expanding our Halo Waypoint services, and to be perfectly frank, building features and support for Halo 4. We’d like to assure you that data collection is still happening behind the scenes, and those numbers will continue to be reflected in your Halo Waypoint Career.</mark>
>
> This summer, we’ll be bringing Halo: Reach File Share access to the web version of Halo Waypoint. That means there will be a short period where new Halo: Reach user-generated content will not be accessible from the web. All Halo: Reach files will continue to be accessible in-game, though, just as they are today. We know not having web access is less than optimal (/understatement), which is why we will continue working hard on our version of the File Share system. We’ll share images and information as that quickly approaching date gets closer.

I hope they have plans on stat viewing. I just recently got 1,000,000 points Solo Firefight on Alpha SIte. (Set 6 and I still had 9 lives). That would be awesome if everyone could actually see it though. Wait, Do you guys think that is a good score or is that normal?

At least Bungie didn’t shut the firefight servers down!

I’m not sure you understand how it all works.

Why can’t people just enjoy the game…
