Loading Screen -Display Hive Stats

Mazza

Hey all,

I've been thinking ever since the Reinforce patch there has been the web player stats on http://hive.naturalselection2.com available but there isn't anything within the game to link to it. I reckon it would be quite neat if the loading screen when loading into a server or changing map would able be to view your own current stats.
It would also be handy if there was another option in the main menu to open up the steam browser and go straight to your profile using your steamid/name.

Your thoughts?

I would display them at all times in the main menu. It gives a certain motivation to progress

I think the stats are in generraly a nice thing, but putting too much focus on it might discourage the more casual and fun play. If I have to be presented with my stats after every map change, then I might change my playstyle to gain better scores. I might be come a better player, but I think I would rather just enjoy the game, sometimes playing my best, other times just taking it more easy.

Maybe when its a bit more complex and robust, this current one doesnt do skill justice.

I doubt its fully working.
It says I played 14 minutes in total and under that shows a whole list of matches I played which obviously are far above 14 minutes.

Also unless my memory is failing me, again, it says I played on a BT server on a biodome map. Which I dont believe I did.
Then again, I do play on taw so... hmm

I'm not sure we want to force stats down everyone's throats. TF2 does display stats on load, but those stats are more of a "best of" highlights section than an analysis of your overall performance.

I think the hive stats are being reset (already have?), but eventually this would be pretty nice.
