Can someone shed any light on the HaloTracker site, such as, is it reliable? And, how many people are actually members. Does the site stats actually mean anything to the competitive Halo players? I just joined the site and was more than surprised with my stats and wondered if they actually mean anything and how they might translate into the new CSR system.
Cheers

I want to ask you something…; In Halo Reach you are an inheritor with a depressing k/d ratio but somehow in Halo 4 you manage to have a 1.42 k/d ratio overrall, how can that be possible?
In my opinion, you camp dmr/ac seeing as you only play BTB and that your HTR is 22 even so you’re SR 130 making HT unreliable in conception of k/d but reliable in conception of TS.
No, Halo tracker is not reliable.
You want an accurate measure of your skill at Halo? Go play Halo 3 ranked.

HaloTracker.com uses the same ranking system as Halo 3… So your statement makes no sense to me sir.
HaloTracker takes your stats directly from waypoint servers… So, yes they are reliable.

Really? That has to be brought up here?

When I started Halo Reach, I haven’t played Halo for a year and a half. So my first few months I was mostly 1.0 and as I got better I brought it to 1.25 my k/d looks bad because of bad games when I first started. My halo 4 K/D is 2.0 because I am not being held down by old records that don’t reflect on how my skills currently are. I imagine its a similar situation for the OP.
k/d is only an accurate gauge of skill if looking at recent games and win/loss ratio.
3.0 k/d with 25% wins for example… This player is good at staying alive but loses almost every game. I would not want him on my team… Might be fun to play him 1v1 or in FFA
1.2 with a 75% wins… Obviously competent, team player, a real winner that probably doesn’t quit when the chips are down. This guy is likely to be the reason your team won.
Only when players have similar win/ loss ratios… That’s when you look at K/D as an indicator of skill.

No it doesn’t.
You win… You rank up…
You lose… You rank down…
1-50…
Care to explain why it is not the same ranking system?

Because first of all, that is not how the Halo 3 trueskill system works. Second of all, that is not how the Halotracker system works.

That is not the halotracker true skill system. That is the site score system for Halo 3 (which we didn’t even focus on). I didn’t even know that post was still on the site.
For Reach and Halo 4, the true skill system, to be put in simplistic terms, you win you rank up, you lose you rank down.

I believe Halo Tracker uses the same ranking system from Halo 3.
Also, lol with your gamertag. 
The site was made with competitive players in mind. 343 pulled the plug on open API though, so it’s not as good as it could be.
But anyway, a web based ranking system already exists. I wonder if 343 really believes they’re appealing to anyone by implementing something that already exists elsewhere. What they need to do is make it visual in-game.
Yes its pretty accurate.
It ranks you 1-52. (well 50, super 50, and superman 50) maybe theres a 53+, i forgot.
I don’t know if it takes into account your opponents, but it definitely is based on win/loss.
The only problem is they can’t tell if you play big team or 4v4 slayer because of stupid 343. 343 purposely hid the ability to see playlist stats, and left us to only see gametype stats. However; 343 can see ur playlist stats.
Overall I say it is fairly accurate. I have a 70% win percentage in Slayer, and I’m a level 43-44. after like 400 games of slayer.
The Site Score is totally different. It’s like the infinity challenge tracker (almost). I don’t think it gives negative points, but if you are consistently getting more points per game, you’ll pull ahead of the rest. The first place guy has like 3.64 kd with 3000 games played and a 94-97% win percentage(forgot). I would say that is legit.
But it is simply a play more, the more you’ll rank up. If you stop playing, you’ll fall in the ranks. FAST.

yes that would be an accurate measure of your skill, at halo 3.

Or SWAT, or snipers, or slayer pro…ridiculous that we can’t see playlist stats anywhere.
One of there blog post explains that 343 doesnt release the stats of your player to everyone at anytime you want it. Basically you have to sign up there and they have to retrieve your stats at your request instead of them being able to take everyone stats at anytime and making leaderboards.
