Centralized player stats via Steam?

[LoneDeranger]

the other thing i think would be cool is global stats...so a player's performance in any steam powered server would be reflected in one central place.

[Gabe Newell] Yep. We're thinking the same.

Does anyone realize how cool this would be if they implement it?

Yeah, it's gonna be like UT!!!

 

[SnowBall]

Hey buddy, now everyone gets to see how bad I suck!

 

[Prince of China]

Just use the name: SnoBawl

 

[SnowBall]

Still doesnt change the fact people get to see how bad I suck, weither they know me or not. Besides. My name tag isnt snowball or anything of the sort anymore.

I don't care about other people too much. I wanna see my own stats

the function of the adverb seems to elude quite a few people.

i hope they have the same thing for TFC 2 stats, and maybe even all half-life 2 mods, though that would take a ton of storage space and bandwidth.

All the Unreals do it afaik. (cept Unreal 2 of course)

woohooo.... great.... what a way to encourage team work... Give the rambo's a reason to compete against thier own team for kills...

 

[SidewinderX]

America's Army does it as well...

Would be cool, but it is far to open to abuse unless they have a sytem like AAops with a central server system becuas people will jsut set up servers to up htier stats and crap.

I think it would be awesome to see my own stats and stuff, but i can see the stat whores having a hay day about braggin about how good they are. I could care less how good someone else is. Id just like to see my own.

Stats are the route of all evil in multiplayer team games. You end up with everyone camping to get that extra kill on their kill death ratio rather than actually persuing the team's objective.

They ruin cs, mohaa, bf1942, ut.

Only my opinion but statwhoring should be outlawed and lone gunmen should be flogged to death with their own mouse cables.

p.s. it annoys me but i'm joking about evil and flogging for those who didn't notice.

 

[mikesux]

Yeah but there can be servers with steam stats on and ones with them off, if you want a fun game use one with the stats off.

 

[Typhon]

It would be nice if the stats were done in such a way that the 8+ hour a day players didn't have such an advantage over the 2 hour a day people.

 

[Sparky the Fox]

typhon: that's why you gage gunning skill by the kill-to-death ratio, and even that doesn't reflect how well you help your team.
