[Poker Face]

Found this on Halo Waypoint from rukizzel.

"TU coming next month - details will be released after the TU is live to not inform people of exploits" - Thought that would interest you most, if they have no plans on releasing details on it until after it is released, then don't expect anything like a Boltshot nerf or a DMR nerf or all that stuff.

Yea I've pretty much accepted that the TU is going to be minimal "under the hood" stuff, and is going to be useless. Not that it matters to 343 as they probably have the next Halo in the works, coming to you holiday 2013!

 

[BlueScrote]

Ok I thought this was pretty damn funny (no, I don't care about CSR):

Waypoint Poster: [W]hy are the CSR rankings "starting fresh" in April instead of representing our cumulative efforts since November 6th?
BSAngel: We want to start every player fresh so they can experience the journey.

So presumably this means Trueskill will be reset across the board, otherwise starting from CSR 1 is meaningless as everyone will have a different base t work from.

Or it could be Marketing speak for "We're not currently tracking the data we need to calculate CSR and won't start until the feature is implemented".

Not saying that is the case at all, but it's a possibility.

So recently I’ve been gathering some basic Halo 4 statistics of HaloGAF members and now I’ve compiled them into one nice summary. I pulled the numbers from 123 members, based on the HaloGAF.com list with some modifications, from Halo Tracker (Waypoint is slow and cumbersome) and here are the results.

What is HaloGAF.com?

 

[broony]

Would people want Halo 5 multiplayer to be split in two:

Social MP - AA, Ordinance, Global Ordinance, No ranks, JIP. and so on.

Competitive MP - No AA, Timed known Weapon drops, No JIP, ranked. and so on.

Would it spoil the population? Would you get enough of each type of player to make it work?

I really enjoy the new stuff, I get bored when things stay the same year on year. But I can appreciate what people want from competitiveness and their hate of random gamplay. Is there room for both?

Legit.

[EBLspartan]

I'm the only one who interpreted in a good way what the latest bullettin says?

CSR – Competitive Skill Rank

We have been working closely with several internal teams on optimizing the ranking system, and working to integrate it into your Waypoint player profile, accessible on web, phone and tablet.

More Details:
• You will have a unique CSR visible per playlist.
• Your highest CSR across all playlists will be promoted in the player profile on Halo Waypoint.
• CSR uses familiar 1-50 scale.
• When CSR launches, everyone will start with a fresh rating.

To me the underlined part means that every playlist will have its private VISIBLE rank; the highest rank instead will be part of our waypoint statistics.

I'm misinterpreting this losing some part of the discussion (it's completely possible) or is the largest part of this forum's community completely blind? (this is possible too)

Except:

Waypointer: Why isn't CSR visible in game? I've yet to see 343 answer this question.

bsangel: We are focused on creating a seamless companion for pro and expert players without making a highly visible attractive nuisance for casual abusers and cheats.

I read it the same way you did too...at first. I think the more revealing line is this: "integrate it into your Waypoint player profile, accessible on web, phone and tablet." It does not say anything about "in game" here.

 

[IHaveIce]

I don't even know if I'm on the HaloGAF list, but looking at these numbers I would be right in the middle.


Also the stuff with the TU is bullshit, they won't tell us anything about it till it is out? wat.

pls remove boltshot from loadouts.

So my university is giving us a free all you can eat Pancake buffet, I just got like 6 chocolate chip pancakes. I'll only eat a couple more for HaloGAF!

Awesome stuff Over, I was thinking about this data a few weeks ago, wondering what the stats were like.

51 games...

 

[ElRenoRaven]

ROFLMAO at my K/D. Not that bad considering I quit even giving a shit and just screwing around almost from the beginning. Half the time I'm just running around EMPing vehicles and sticky grenading them. lol

I actually try and my k/d is only 1.08.

If all matches were plasma nades and Needlers only I'd be amazing.

Hell you'd be amazed how often you can get a triple kill on a warthog. Those damn Banshees though are a fun challenge to hit with them. It's easier up close but I like trying to hit em from a distance with the PP. I think the only two maps I remotely try on are Haven and Adrift in team Death Match. Other then that most of my time is Big Team Slayer and my trusty Plasma Pistol and DMR.

 

[Fracas]

2.86? I thought Truskill was supposed to work?

Either way, damn

 

[squidhands]

There have got to be just bug fixes and such that would not influence any gameplay at all that they could tell us about.

The secrecy behind the updates is just stupid. Give us broad concepts of what's being addressed, and put fucking asterisks next to each entry with a "subject to change" footnote if need be.

Tl;dr HaloGAF sucks

I could have told you that without all the fancy-shmancy charts, especially in regards to yours truly. I'd be willing to bet that I'm #1 in the "Idiot Who Plays Spartan Ops" category.
Seriously though, nice job.

I want TheOddOne to share what AA he uses. If it's Camo, he'll forever be Halo 4's Mark McGuire.

Is the Arena Gaming times Central time? I would guess so because it's in Chicago, but they never state their time zone

[Speedy Blue Dude]

How do some of you keep your K/D's so high? Mines only 1.3, that's not caring or trying, but even if I tried every second I don't think I'd get any higher than 1.5. Also, I need to add myself to the HaloGAF list.

Partly it depends on what lists you play. If I was constantly CTF I'd be .5 prolly since I suicide for objective captures, if it were SWAT or Flood only Id be 2-3.0 KD.

 

[789shadow]

lol, so I have fun in in Forge Test and they remove it? Welp, BRB, gonna play Far Cry 3 instead of Halo 4 forever.

 

[FyreWulff]

It will return, the maps will migrate elsewhere to more permanent locations and new ones will be tested in the list

From personal experience, don't sip adult beverages before playing. It nets you a 1.04.

K/D only matters in Slayer. And did they remove the Community Forge Playlist already?

[EagleBurnn]

Fixed.

Yep. And there's one way to fix this and has been done before,

Kills don't count for anything and are not recorded during objective gametypes. Harsh rule, but effective. Hell would have to go through it's 3rd Winter season for this to happen in Halo though.

 

[Tawpgun]

I suppose you could say Halo 4 is a real fixer upper.

Hopefully they'll make some good renovations.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Don't suck.

Bro 1v1 me I'll 4 shot you bro.

Lol.

I think K/D in Halo 4 is less how good you are, and more how bad the players you match up against are.

 

[Karl2177]

That reminds me...

If anyone wants to finish up the data collection for the Reach stats, I've uploaded them to min.us. I left off at monome, but I know some people have joined since I started them(summer 2012 juniors and new years 2013 juniors). All of the stats are from the locked version of bungie.net, so finishing them off wouldn't invalidate the data that I've already collected.

Here's some old stats about HaloGAF's headshot efficiency rates and sniper efficiency rates.
