Lies, More Lies, and Halo 2 Statistics

I've added a feed for my recent Halo 2 stats in the right sidebar under 'Sharpes-R-Us'. I don't play that often and certainly not that well, but if you're interested, you can see how badly I won or lost. The game titles link to the Bungie site with more info on each game (hit percentage, medals won, etc).

It's an RSS feed, but FeedBurner makes it browser-friendly as well. Unfortunately Firefox and some versions of Safari don't interpret the XSLT and the line-breaks for each game's scores will be run together. IE displays it better. But why not just subscribe to the RSS feed and your aggregator will tell you when I play? Another benefit is that your corporate firewall may block the Bungie site, but probably doesn't care about the RSS feed!

If you're on Xbox Live, how about posting the link for your RSS feed as a comment?

And if you're really into stats don't neglect Bungie's GameViewer link on your game stats page. I overlooked this for quite a while (you have to tie your GamerTag to a Passport and be logged in), but it will show you a view of the map and where each kill took place for the entire game.

For even more statistical overload, checkout the Halo 2 RSS Excel Workbook. Download it, point it to your RSS feed and bury yourself in numbers, graphs, pie charts. I'll just share one overall stat that shows I have a lot of work to do. In 14 online matchmade games my kill per death ratio is 0.71. In a game where it's "kill or be killed", that's not very good.
