12+ days of Reach, only 15 perfections. Did get 342 Steaktaculars though.

There will be another image that features Gabo's hi-res Reach medals and another article talking about what I think should be included in detail. But that won't be for a little while. In February, I'm launching a 4 part series that Fyrewulff has been asking me to post for ages that covers the Halo series' feature set. It'll cover a brief summary of what the feature is intended to do and how I think it can improve. I've got parts 1 and 2 all written up, and I'm making some revisions to part 3 right now, while part 4 is about 40% done. I still need a few images before I post anything though.
Damn, can't wait to read all that.

Karl what sort of analysis have you done? I don't want to post what I've done quickly if you've written it up nicely and stuff.

Must get one more. Cus OCD and stuff.

"The data on this page is no longer being updated." Not that I have Reach anymore.

My friends and I got so many of those during the Bungie vs. The World event. Probably 20, minimum.

Surprised your win ratio is still so high with how often you carried me.
Well we actually had a crew back then though and squad slayer.

Do people recommend going for perfection medals alone or in teams?
There's no benefit of going for it alone. With teams you can coordinate, have people weaken enemies for you, and have people watch your back.

How often can you find people that are willing to do that? I mean, it's awesome when you can find that random guy who's super nice, and let's you do things for an achievement, or weaken other players so you can get a kill, but still, I don't seem to find those types of people all that often. Thanks though; that makes sense.

Same :D. Host change's screwed me out of a few though.

? Then why does the Halo wiki say that host changes shouldn't matter?
 
Serious question would anyone we up for some custom games at some point in time? I miss Halo but not enough to subject myself to the bullshit public mp.

Custom's still happen often on weekend's, there was one recently for Gabo's test maps.

You lot haven't had host change's when you're going up the spire then, using the man cannon's on the outside. Or getting down as well, when it change's you spawn then fall and make a mess on the ground.

Still better than you Color.Morale :p.

TEAMSLACHTER

Can this just be the official thing the English version is called? Like, have the announcer be all "TEAM SCLACHTER" would be so epic.


Or maybe you could have a skull in a multiplayer map that actually does something, like that. So like, in a map, you find a skull, enable it in the lobby, and then next match, the announcer is all like talking in German or Yiddish or Gaelic or Latin or something like that (if it was German, than German players would get an English version or whatever).

Miserable 1.24 and my friend is ruining it

Heh, I'm better. 1.25 So there. :p

I bought Halo 2 PC, now I wait for it to arrive.

:( So I installed my copy, and multi isn't working. I actually had to use my Viva Pinata PC code to install the game, because the games code won't work. It doesn't just say it's used, like you'd expect; it says it's invalid, like it wouldn't work anyway. It was a new copy too. :(

I've quadruple checked every set of letters, and it still won't work. :( I can only play campaign now, but even then I can no longer continue to earn achievements. (It let me have the achievement for the first mission though).


Graphics work perfectly in fullscreen though!

Awesome job Karl!
Thanks :)

If you're posting something that adds good discussion, don't let what I've written up prevent you from posting it.
I don't think Karl used my stats in the data :(

Very cool though Karl
I could have sworn I grabbed your stats, for some reason you aren't on the final sheet. I looked back at the first draft of it, and you are on that list. I have no idea why it didn't transfer you over...
I wouldn't be surprised if Karl actually had that statistic prepared.
I don't know how many of you guys remember H3Opp and H2Opp, but they were Halo 3 and Halo 2 stat grabbers that grabbed the entire game history and reconstructed the data locally on your computer. Sadly, it stopped working shortly before Reach came out. One of the metrics you could filter for was who you played with. I don't have that capability with the Reach stats, because I went through everyone's page manually and grabbed the numbers. Then I verified them using the data on the competitive summary page. If I had an application similar to H3Opp, I would have finished this years ago, and could easily add people to it.

Ply's top perfections come from team double, team slayer and squad slayer. If you use Halo tracker, he played most with ShadowEmbracer (Gaf'er?), Barrow, Kyle, Tawpgun etc. Though it's not as in depth, so maybe Ply changed his GT.

Found this just by quickly looking on mobile, Waypoint wouldn't even load properly, seriously Frank overhaul the site before Halo 5 launches. Ridiculous that it's easier using third party sites or a site that stopped updating since 2011.

You guys usually do Halo 4 customs or Halo Reach?
1.61 in BTB for four and 1.07 in reach without much care, it's all over the place last heavies game in reach 44 to 6 one after 21 to 4 normal BTB random's are random.
It's most four custom's I think. But lot's of us still play reach if you want to play that.
If you're posting something that adds good discussion, don't let what I've written up prevent you from posting it.
It's mutikill progression chances
Double to triple: 12.11%
Triple to over: 17.48%
Over to killtac: 30.11%
Killtac to killtrocity: 41.51%
Killtrocity to killmanjaro: 46.26%
Killmanjaro to killtastrophe: 43.91
Killtastrophe to killpocalypse: 63.23%

It's interesting that it peaks at 7 and 10, instead of lower down like I expected it to.

I need wwm0nkey in here. I mean, he probably won't be able to help with a broken code, but still.

And no I am not calling Microsoft. I refuse to go through that again.

That's a nice KDR, well I guess I'm the worst here (still doesn't mean I'm not deadly -.-)

I never played custom games in Halo 4, I might join you guys when you eventually make one.

As Ram said, my brother.
Also used to be known as Xenolock if that makes any difference.
Yep.

On an unrelated note, I actually have 116 perfections via my Waypoint Reach record.

I doubt you're the worse. I wonder if anyone has a K/D of 0.01?

This is exactly the reason why translations should be optional, they should never be forced.
The Dutch name for big team sound decent "battle with great team's". Why is capture the flag not translated?

K/D of 1.22 in Reach, I play for the objective not for the kills.

It actually translates to "Battle with big teams" in this sentence ;)
As a native dutch speaker I instantly cringe the moment I see a translated word that has its origin in a foreign language. The dutch language contains many words from other languages, so we aren't exactly used to seeing those words suddenly being translated. And when they're translated (9/10 times) they're translated too direct, making it lose its meaning. On top of the fact that translation aren't done product wide as you can see in that pic. Certain modes are translation while others are not.

How hard can it be for a dev to implement to option to switch languages without the need to fool the system.

Finding people to play with is what HaloGAF is for.

Oh thats kinda sad, I joined gaf in Halo 4 era, I played nonstop Reach but I dont remember If I ever played with or against gaf

I hope I get mentioned in Gaf Halo 4 assasination/melee stadistics someday.
You were totally around for Reach! Late into its life, but definitely there. I remember playing with you and Fracas and Franklinator and other folks.

I think I did alright, I don't know any dutch really.

It is a shame it's not done thoroughly or an option to turn it off isn't available. But honestly I despise the whole waypoint design. It's so awkward to browse, why do I need to login to see stats?

I remember getting off of work at night and hopping on to play Reach with you, Bregmann, Franklinator, Aggro, and a ton of other people basically every night. Good times

Haha don't worry you did fine ;)
And yes, waypoint needs a major overhaul. Currently I need to be logged out in order to read the forum and logged in if I want to see my stats.
