<div class="IPBDescription">I know itll never happen...</div>The best fps global stats I have ever seen by far is Dystopia.
This made the game so addictive when it came out of beta.
But i also know it took some serious hardware and coding to be able to this.
Have the developers ever thought about doing this? I thought i may have heard some whisper something about it on server one night.
I ask because i think back to dystopia when i was ranked #2(it was before the first stat reset after v1.0) at one point out of like 100000 people, it was crazy.
And the global stats increases the competiveness of the game. Alot of clans were drawn to it. And for a while it was looking great.
I quit playing for a year because of life. But when i came back there was a very small community left, like 20000 who played a month. And personally i think lack of game updates like better team balance and some new things plus LOTS of weapon balances they could do ( stupid laser rifle was way to op ), game pretty much died out. Now the new developers pretty much abandoned the game, they havent even updated the game client to work with the recent steam engine updates. So you have to manually find a dystopia server to play on and youll be lucky if you can find someone to play with, if somebody would be curious to know what the ranking system was like.
Enough off topic.
I know its proably impossible, but i find ns2 so addictive. Adding global stats would draw in huge crowds. I would bet money on it.
Last suggestion for a while. Sorry for the other two posts but id been giving it thought and I felt like cramming it all in one post was to much.
So dont flame me to bad XP

How does the ranking work in Dystopia? It's very hard to rank a player in NS, seeing how it's a teamgame and K/D ratios play only a small part to determine the skill of a player.
so global ranks are even possible at that moment.
Maybe a way to organize team stats instead of individual. This is a game of teamwork after all. Not a game of rambo 40:1 KD plz kk thx.
If you play more than 69% of the round time and your team losses - 1
Simple
