Do you Like Globally Tracked stats like Bf2? Where Everyone knows everything you've done, Kills, Headshots, Class time. Which is great for bragging rights(If you are that pathetic) And even if you re-install the game they will still be there. But the downside is privacy concerns, And with a security system such as EA's you are suseptable to hackers and what not.

Or do you like em Client Side where it's all personal so you know you're stats are safe and your own business. Except you cant claim anything without proof, And you cant crash or you will lose what you earned. And have to work all over again.

Both are fine. Both have their pros, both have their cons. If I had to choose one, I'd say Client side.

Whoah...a good thread from David.P? Shit. When are the 4 horsemen coming?

The best stat system I've seen is TF2, in my opinion.

Agreed, actually. Although when the medic achievements come out, I'm sure teamwork will decrease quite a bit due to people en masse trying to get the new medic guns.

I agree with that. I think it should've been an option.

It's a stats system which just encourages you to try and beat your personal bests, and doesn't result in frustration etc if you have a bad round, or padding which is rampant in BF2. (However, if that comment about a 10 million heal points achievement is true, then that will change)

A worthwhile thread, i applaud you.

I'd go with CoDs style, much more about giving you personal goals, and not "oo i iz moar medlz then u".

Though i do like how deep BF2's stats records go, ie time with each weapon, individual KDR's for weapon types etc.

Global, a-la BF2. I wish they got rid of KDR(any), SPM, WLR etc - because 99.5% are trying to raise some of these stats instead of playing as team. Sad thing is that I'm one of them
Yet I want to keep ranks, unlocks, badges - but please, no numbers.

p/s played some BF1942 recently...wish there were squads - the game would be 100% better (gameplay-wise) then BF2. Stats do not reward a player for so much actions - and noone is going to do these actions, because they dont get their points.

Same. I really liked having ranks, awards etc in BF2, but hated all the pressure that the stats system put on you. I think that as long as all that was kept completely behind the scenes (or didnt exist at all), then it would be much better.

Meh bf2 system ws nice for the badges, but it took too long for all weapons
Cod4 on consoles solved that issue + no reason to pad...

I like the way BF2 does stats because you can see how much you've improved over time. It's open to exploits but at the same time, the "bragging rights" are null if you just play to raise stats and don't even have any fun.

Too long? It took me 2 months (back in 2005/2006 winter) to get all of them. Are you lame or what? Or you want to get all weapons on your second day?
