[DanDreon]

The question is at what point do they start checking stats? Do they only check the Top ten? The top 100? Honestly, those are the ones that need to be checked, but I don't think they are going to commit to that. Honestly, it would take one person to check stats of the top 100 people, and find the anomalies like this. I don't know, the whole thing is just odd to me. I just play for the fun of it, because I know I'll never get the position my abilities deserve.

Well...looking at all those rather crappy stats, I'd have to say that W/L has a big part in ones rank. 8 DCs...Low, but I would think that his rank would be lower if it was based on that. Survival rate is off because he didn't die every round, yet didn't kill much either. Mmmm, convoy!

The real question is, what sorry piece of crap actually cares enough about rank to do that stuff.

[kevinXcore]

god damn. i read an update on the socom community saying "we will ban and remove the stats of anyone who abuses the ranking system"

good job zipper.

[DanDreon]

its funny cus this god guy is getting 89.77 points per game. divide his rating by his games.

For those that still believe Socom has a good ranking system, that is about as far as you have to look for proof that it's terrible.

[Draykonis]

It does have a good and working ranking system. Sure, there are cheaters, but it works fine when you play right. And, whoever said that ranking has a lot to do with your wins and losses, you're correct. Also, aborts hurt your score a lot.

[SPALL]

I don't think the ranking system is that bad, but there are too many variables for it to track. Get back to W/L, kills & deaths, and time played or something like that. Flag stats that are just too good to be true...sure, there are good players out there, but nobody is that good. Get rid of all the garbage, including the point system during games. They are irrelevent, and only encourage PWing. Maybe they'll get it right next time, maybe they won't. One can only hope.
