Stats on CS #1

Should we have stats (HLStats) now that they are fixed with the latest patch (have to do a reset before it takes effect).

hehehee, no matter how people vote, they'll say later that the stats should be put back on (even i will eventually [Blocked image] )

(edit) : or they'll vote yes and bitch about everyone saying their better than someone else

not overly worried.. [Blocked image] keep em [Blocked image]

It lets me keep tabs on who i been punished by and whom i must curse and slay

Yeah it lets us all know how much we hate bluemania ;) j/k

But stats are good mmmkay, its just the whores that play for the stats that are bad.

BTW...yes i do play for stats but its usually for the top kills with the fun guns (mac 10, tmp, ump and p90)

I say, if possible, find a way to elimate 'rankings' and keep stats. That way, no-one can be counted as 'better' as someone else. Many players on cable would do much better as it is.

Yeah individual stats are good but the player ranking page is a source of evil. Let Statsme /top15 look after that if you need a ranking system. Personally I think it is best when the statsme top 15 is reset daily.

Are you playing for fun or for stats?

but with statsme is there a way to do it on the webpage rather than in game?

cos if there isnt then that would suck if you have to go in game just to look at your stats

Oooh, yes!

The prospect of individual stats without the rankings sounds perfect to me!

I agree with all these opinions - stats let you keep tabs on whose tactics you need to become better prepared for, and how your OWN play is improving or declining. That's why I like em.

HOWEVER I feel it is the rankings that are the source of evil.

My 2 cents.

I'll go against the grain. I say let the rankings stand.

It rewards those who are good, and challenges other's to aspire to be better.

On the rare occasion when I have knifed OD or BM, I have had a minor head swell and had a greater sense of accomplishment. (albeit they were most probably <10hps, but let the truth get in the way of a good story)

It also allows Clans to work out how they are travelling. Generally as a rule, I post our clan stats and give acknowledgement to other's based upon rankings within the Xid newsletter.

As with anything, if you don't have a metric, how can you compare.

I guess lastly, are stats and rankings such a bad thing. They are just a bit of fun. For my two cents worth, reset them every mth. That way people don't get disheartened after a few bad rounds.

Just thoughts.

I think the stats for clan rankings is pretty good but all i really care about is the stats and awards for the weapons, but i reckon that the awards for weapons should really only be for the weapons that get used the least, not the colt, ak or awp that seem to be overused by just about everyone. I think going up against ppl with colt's and ak's when you have a ump, mac 10 or tmp is the real test of skill

I kinda agree with you there. The noticable thing with the colt and AK awards (as well as many daily awards) is it doesnt nessicary say you are a good player, but that your a consistant player.

As AK and the Colt are the better guns, or as you may argue, the most used guns (whatever), they shouldnt be really counted as 'skillful' as someone who gets the top 'usp' kills. Here is where i disagree. The same rule aplies here, the more you use a weapon, the more consistant it makes you, not the more skillful. Sure. The weapon mod will justify you killing someowe with a knife over killing them with an AK. But does someoen with 10 knife kills make him better than someone with 60 AK kills? Not really.

It just comes down to how you play the game and why you play the game. Do you want to be a skilled player or a consistant player? Well daily awards and top weapon stats dont mean shit. All it means is that you were consistant with that weapon or style of play. Once again you can argue it is harder to knife someone than it is to AWP them. (DEFINATLY!) But this is why there are weapon mods that add you your SKILL score. Dont forget that if you knife a newb, they dont lose as much skill and you dont earn as much skill than when you knife an elite player.

i dont care if we should have stats or not but i think theres something wrong with the stats.
have a look at mine

yeah that was a stuff up with 1.4 :\ fixed now

id like to see kills per minute or something, contribute to the stats, might speed up the rounds.
