Stats 'n Stuff

I've updated some of the mods on MH, including Statsme. You're either gonna lurve it or hate it, but it give a more instant view of how you're doing. Comments?
Oh, yeah, and vote in the poll above. :roll:

Doggers, I think we should do away with stats completely.
It makes people watch the stats too much when they should be concentrating on teamwork.
And then you get the lone wolfs who just want to clear the round up themselves or wait till everyone has gone forward and died to clean up.

I started watching the stats too much at one stage because i was at the top and now they are not working it is much better. Get rid no need.

Might do away with people being called a stats whore then :x

No not deathwarrant he is an TANGO but he gets himself in the the thick of the action, he just needs to work with people not by himself. but he is getting better and he doesnt keep asking to change the map all the time now.

I suppose this is the place to post my tiny gripe.
Can I turn off the irritating 'Careful, you've been killed 27 times in a row' announcement? I REALLY don't need to be reminded of what an a**e I am!
Also, I'm not sure I want to know that 'I was killed by so 'n' so with a popgun. He caused 180% damage to you and hit you in every part of your anatomy. You didn't even make him sweat'
Thank you, Embarrassed of Chelmsford

ah, but it gives us a laugh :-)

Doh!

JB · October 26, 2002, 04:52:52 PM

ooooohh... an old topic resurected.

Tbh i think the best way to hvae stats is to just have the "he hit you" and "you hit him" announcements and remove the /top15 page.

Hidden stats on Baldric
No stats on Meat Hook.

Oh and Doorman .... say /switch to turn off the spam.

Agreed

JonnyAppleSeed · October 26, 2002, 06:00:49 PM

well said JB.. the hit him and hit you stats are great but no need for top fragers... i dont care if i play a game without a kill as long as i can hinder the other team or give some help to my team ...if u need stats go play alone on a public :lol:

Stats are disruptive, no argument!
Every time I go onto a stats server I am wary of the fact that if I have a 0-10 map then my stats are shagged for weeks after. That /rank and /top15 had us all checking round by round the other night and chatting about it. Plus Sadako is no. 2 and I can;t stand his bragging

(joke).
Statsme telling where you were hit and the amount of damage done to your killer, are great. But unfortunately nearly 100% useless cause your killer normally is not the person you thought. ie. aiming at someone else when you got shot from the side or something.

I'd use stats for purposes of picking an elite team only, or showing the weapons players a good with so e.g. the best snipers can be picked for a snipe map. Psychostats with it tweaked to give inceased marks completing the objective is useful. It's less easy to identify good teamplay with stats so giving mroe points for objectives will help, a quick scount down the list identifies the good shots in the team even if they are not top of the points table.

I've disabled the /top15 and /rank functions. I guess I'm not the only one getting pissed off with lurkers slowly creeping away from their team and then, once they're all dead, picking off the remaining half-dead enemy and starting the next round with "say /top15".
:x :x :x :x :x

The stats thingie they run on N42 was quite good. There you could only compare yourself with yourself and it was not in game. Checking your k/d ratio for certain maps and efficiency with different weapons made me improve at least. By checking those stats I knew what I needed to practice.

Anything else in stat way is detrimental to the teamplay imho.

Stats never show if you stopped the rush by wounding 4 enemies and by doing so saved the round even if you died.

Picking a team based on stats wouldn't give you the best team imho. By teamplay a group of average players can easily be turned into a well oiled killing machinery.
