Wow, did you really spend all that time on that garbage, lol. Sorry but I just had to say you got too much time on your hands. ---

> [@Sarkzm](#): > > Ok so you go hard in the pain with data mining and get MLB level amount of statistics. Now what? It serves no use for actual gameplay given the current system other than online trouser snake measuring. What application would you have in mind with all the data? Balancing teams via skill would be one application. Knowing the specifics such as performance per map, per loadout, and the percentage usage of vehicle/loadout could all contribute towards a better algorithm. By no means would it be perfect, it never could… but it would definitely help. ---

> [@SonOfaNinja](#): > > Skill stat is worthless as is. The fact that the calculation is done based on round performance on just three stats leads to huge swings in in skill gained or lost. It’s painfully obvious that a stat meant to represent your skill as a player is unreliable if it is subject to huge fluctuations. Not to mention the fact that skill is measured based on pure K/D, SPM, and KPM without a game mode context. I mean, just try getting a high SPM from playing Defuse, it just isn’t going to happen. Either needs to be reworked completely to reflect your competency as a player with relative stability within game mode specific contexts, or thrown out entirely. Well said. You should be the next Queen of England ---

score per minute. the higher the score, the better you’re doing. Old BF games required you to maintain a certian PPM(it was points per minute back then) or you would de-rank. Bring that back, many of the 140’s running around would be stuck at level 50 ---

Whoa Keith. That’s just not acceptable and completely unwarranted IMO. ---

Not a whole lot of time, besides I eat, sleep, drink code everyday. It’s my job/living/career. > [@Sarkzm](#): > > Ok so you go hard in the pain with data mining and get MLB level amount of statistics. Now what? It serves no use for actual gameplay given the current system other than online trouser snake measuring. What application would you have in mind with all the data? Given the current stats system is flat out flawed and filled with nonspecific drivel that everyone and their momma uses to evaluate others … why not display something with more meaning and substance. The current system serves no use for actual gameplay, beyond modifying play behavior. As is KDR/SPM/SKILL are the motivators. Pushed by stats bashing. _If you don’t have X,Y,Z stats you’re a scrub and whatever you say is pointless._ What are the two most effective ways to get X,Y,Z ? Beyond that why would anyone have a problem with a more accurate upgraded stats engine? If you don’t care about stats why the objection? Do real metrics scare you? Perfect world I’d say drop them all. No ranks, unlocks, ribbons, stars, assignments etc. Play “the game” for the fun of the game and winning a loose competition between other players. ---
