Statto - H3 version

Not much to talk about this week. As you can guess, I've been spending most of my time playing Halo 3.

One of the things about Halo 3 which I've spent a lot of time on without realising it is the detailed stats that are being kept on www.bungie.net. You see, on the bungie website, you can pull up your gamertag (or anyone elses) and check out how they are doing. Basically, it keeps a record of all my games (both multiplayer and campaign) and how many times I've died, how many kills I have and which weapons I used etc. Its actually quite impressive.

Unfortunately, the stats are also currently down as Bungie are making some upgrades to their system. My guess is that the success of Halo 3 was unprecedented (even the cinema's are blaming Halo 3 for a drop in attendance - how awesome is that!) and hence, their servers weren't really ready for the load. In fact, during the last month, there have been lots of complaints about records not being updated promptly or in some cases, not being updated at all.

Anyway, as I said, the stats page is currently down. The funny thing is that I never realised how much time I spent on that page until it was missing. I just got so used to checking my stats after each play session. I wonder what my kill/death ratio is at the moment?
