    Just a thread where you can find people with similar k/d spreads, BPR's, ages, etc., add them on xbox live, and play some competitive gametypes with them.

    "nobody here really cares about Stats" says the majority of people here at Forgehub. As long you can put up a decent fight.
    My friend Shik has a Horrible kd while at the same time can kick my ass (when he has host)

    Have a better way of grouping people by skill level?

    Does anyone know how BPR is actually calculated? I've played for like 50 games on my friend's account (who doesn't play on it themselves) and it got to 100 really quickly, so I'm just wondering how worthwhile it is as a stat.

    Probably some extremely complicated formula.

    Well I wouldn't base people on stats. But if you get anyone here saying theyre interested in joining up, they probably aren't that bad. Alot of us here at FHub have been playing halo for a while.

    I get the impression it's a reasonable reflection of your actual trueskill, but it seems to cap off early. I've seen a few people go into complex calculations about it and given what I know about trueskill, it appears to effectively be the equivalent of Halo 3's ranked system but capped off a little lower than a H3 40 and with a little curve added at the low end to keep anybody from bottoming out too badly. Of course it works better once you have an established service record. Just like overall k/d it can be inflated easily by using a new account and not playing long enough for the trueskill to catch up with your actual skill. If you play regularly on an account it will eventually normalize, unless you're playing with a full party and winning a very high percentage of your games (Edit: or you're actually a 100 BPR, which isn't hard to believe. There are plenty of players out there that are. It is not like a Halo 3 50 - nobody's buying 100 BPRs lol)

    It's called a 1v1.

    If someone beats you, that means that he's probably better than you.

    I have a negative KD but I still kick the **** out of the MM crowd.

    If you'd like to take the time to 1v1 everybody that posts in a thread like this to figure out who's on the same skill level as you, kudos to you for your dedication.

    Edit: How are you better than the regular matchmaking crowd if you've got a negative k/d? K/d is a number based on your kills and deaths in matchmaking.
