I’m a big fan of the Halo series of games. Let me rephrase that. I’m a big fan of Halo in general. I’ve played all the games. I put a lot of time into Halo Wars. I tried Halo: Spartan Assault on PC, even if I never unlocked the full game. I read the first four or five Halo novels and the Halo graphic novel, although I fell off since then. Long story short, I like Halo.
Since Halo 2, Bungie spoiled us with ridiculous statistical information available on Bungie.net. For example, here are my Halo 2 stats. Halo 2 was released in 2004. And here are my stats for Halo 3 and Reach. After Bungie parted ways with Microsoft and the Halo franchise, it soldiered on (no pun intended), with 343 Industries at the helm. Here is my Halo 4 stats page.
I dig the minutiae. I look at this stuff. I don’t know why I look at it, but I do. Maybe I think that I can gleam some secret from the data that will cause a light to go off, inspiring me to start owning chumps.
And now I’m playing Titanfall. The future aesthetic is not entirely unlike Halo. And I want stats. Where are they? Halo has spoiled me, and I want stats for every game like this. Respawn? Make it happen. Please?
