Halo 4’s suite of stats is comprehensive but in a regressive and sloppy manner.
The stats that are available are inconsequential for players that want to use them to improve upon there game or for players who are goal oriented. They are sloppy and hard to interface with.
I know I am not alone when I say that the stats we really want to see are as follows:
Our K/D
Our W/L
The list of kills and deaths by weapons
Our medal chest
These should be posted for each group of playlists – campaign, multiplayer, etc…
Any stats other than these is icing on the cake.
Regardless of what website it’s on, we get extensive stats via other websites. Which is sad, depending on how you look at it.
A small website can make the community stronger, and more competitive. However, a multi-million dollar Microsoft company cannot give people the stats they want.
Allow websites to have access to an API, and help make Halo 4’s community a better one. Bungie did it, 343i should be able to as well.
Agreed the best thing they could do is open up API so that places like Halo Tracker can do what they do best: give the community an alternative place to gather and create a strong core of players that are driven to play the game with stats in mind.
Ignoring this part of the community only hurts Halo.
