With every location of every Halo-3 kill available all on bungie.net, Halo set a tough standard for the rest of the industry when it comes to online statistics. It's a standard that Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 hasn't been able to match. Yet.
Most Modern Warfare 2 players are well aware of the lack of an online Modern Warfare 2 stats website. But some people are apparently out of the loop. In the past month, Xbox America has been bombarded by over 4,000 visits from search-engine users searching for "modern warfare 2 stats." Alas, most ended up in our popular "Your Modern Warfare 2 Stats" thread, never finding what they desire.
Judging by the volume that have come looking, gamers have begun to expect an online statistics element to their big-name games. In this category, Modern Warfare 2 disappoints. However, there's still hope.
In a MTV interview just before Modern Warfare 2's launch, Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward regretfully admitted that a robust stat tracking system does not exist. However, he comments that "It's something that we've looked at for later in the future."
Until then, we'll all have to look past this single flaw and enjoy playing a game that has everything else going for it.
