Welcome to Halotracker!

New Charts!!! See all your data

What's the point of tracking you for 3 years if you can only see 2 weeks of historical data, I asked myself, 6 months ago.  So today, I decided to get crackin, and fix it.  

So... New Charts!  These are interactive, and if you slide the slider at the bottom, you can zoom in and out and see daily progression, yearly, etc!!!  This is a major improvement, and I hope are as excited as I am.  



Took me a while to write these up & donations are slow lately, so if you're impressed, donate!  

Thanks

Halotracker Apparel



We had some t-shirts made for one of our staff members, so I decided to throw it online for anyone else who wants some halotracker accessories.  

Check out the store here, we don't make a dime off any of these. Infact, I'm in the red as I had to pay someone to get us a higher resolution version of our image.  Here's proof..  

If you want me to make something else for you, let me know, I can get it in the store.

Thanks!

Boston Strong Grifball Marathon Fundraiser


Click the image above to check out the article on Grifball.net!


As you are aware, there have been a number of tragic events in Boston this past week, and being that the NGA is headquartered out of Boston, we felt action should be taken on our behalf to help our fellow citizens in this time of need.  In two weeks we will be holding multiple "marathon-themed" Grifball events, and will have an open charitable donation effort with 100% of raised funds going to The One Fund Boston, Inc.  We are also looking to have the event sponsored, and details for any sponsorships will arrive in the coming days.  If you are reading this, and would like to help us in the way of sponsorship, please send an email to SquirrelBurrito. Should this happen, we may hold prize raffles and other events to help raise money for those who were injured, and thier families.

We have set up a fund on HopeMob.org (featured on their homepage!) where you can begin to submit donations. If the donation is for a particular player please make sure to include their Gamertag in the comments when you donate! 100% of what you donate will go to The One Fund Boston, Inc.


We are pleased to announce that so far, we will be giving away download keys to two great games from Fire Hose Games (@FireHoseGames), which is run out of Cambridge, MA: 10 codes each for Go Home Dinosaurs and Slam Bolt Scrappers. We have also received 26 Boston-themed prize packs from Yawkey Way Report (@YawkeyWayReport), a publication about the Boston Red Sox, and Beantown Collectibles (@BTCHeadquarters), a sports-and-geek memorabilia retailer. Both of these companies are run out of Boston. In addition, the fine folks at Halo Waypoint (@HaloWaypoint) have agreed to donate a Halo-themed XBox Live download to each donor in our drive. This includes themes, Avatar armor, props, and picture packs.  If you are reading this, and would like to help us in the way of sponsorship, please send an email to SquirrelBurrito or MasterSundown. Our most sincere thanks to our generous donors so far!

EVENTS

May 4th 6:00PM Eastern - May 5th 8:20PM Eastern - live 26.2 hour Grifball stream. We are asking interested community leaders and Halo personalities to join us on the stream on the NGA Grifball Twitch.tv channel for half-hour blocks of Grifball. We are maintaining a Google document with all available time slots. Please contact us in any of the ways listed on the form if you are interested in participating.

May 6th - May 12th: We will be encouraging the community to commit to playing 26 games of Grifball during this week. Players who report their games through a form on our site will be eligible to win prizes when the week is over. We will also give a prize to the player who gets the most sponsorships for this event. More details, including how to donate or sponsor your favorite Grifballer, to follow.

BigTeamBattle.net Spring Challenge



So, you think you know competitive Halo, eh?  I'm sure when you hear the terms "competitive Halo" you close your eyes and picture maps like Sanctuary, The Pit, Midship, Lockout, or the smaller maps of old.  What if I told you that you were programmed to believe that's the only form of competitive Halo there is, when in reality it is much, much bigger?

Big Team Battle doubles the meager 4v4 variants and pits two teams of eight players against one another, featuring a much more expansive offering of the Halo sandbox.  And yes, it's competitive too.

BigTeamBattle.net is hosting a Prize Money tournament this spring with the help of DaveEasily, to pit 8 teams against one another for a $1000 grand prize.  Although at its heart, the tournament is an invitational, excess teams can battle through a play-in tournament the day before the official tournament on May 4th.  Check out full details at the official BTBnet forums sign-up thread:



Matches will be a Best of 5 for Round 1 with the latter two rounds as Best of 7s, featuring a sampling of gametypes from the Official BTBnet Fileshare.

Don't miss your chance to assemble your seven (to eleven) closest friends to create a roster for your chance to compete in the BTBnet Spring 2013 $1000 Tournament!

Be ready, though, as BTBnet veteran team (and 4-time champions) Wake Up are looking to defend their crown, among the likes of Master Theory and Sudden Death.  But if you can secure your spot in the tournament and make it past these veterans of BTB, you and your team will earn a share of the $1000 pot up for grabs this Spring!

Column Sorting

Sorting by column has been added, this works for all columns including CSR. Pretty useful if you want to sort by highest CSR Rank, since it was added late into the game, CSR Ranked playlists may be buried by other playlists.

-Competitive Skill Rank
-Next Week’s Matchmaking Playlist Update
-GDC Feedback
-Screenshot Spotlight: Vehicular Love


Competitive Skill Rank:
There are two different ways we calculate your CSR. CSR is closely based on your TrueSkill rank, which ensures that you’ll be ranked – and matched – against opponents of comparable skill. Your CSR is dependent upon your personal performance as well as the rank of those you play with. While several playlists will use a win/loss system to determine whether or not you rank up, others will use individual scoring, which will rank you based on your performance against everyone in the match, teammates included. In some playlists, you’ll rank up faster than others – these vary in order to create the most optimal experience for each playlist.

Playlists that use individual scoring:
-Infinity Slayer
-Big Team Infinity Slayer
-Rumble Pit
-Multi-Team
-Team Action Sack
-Flood
-Team Snipers
-Regicide
-SWAT

Playlists that will use team scoring:
-Castle Team DLC
-Team Objective
-Capture the Flag
-Dominion
-Team Throwdown
-Team Doubles
-Grifball

Next Week’s Matchmaking Playlist Update:
-Castle Team DLC added, 6v6 Slayer and Objective
-Multi-Team added, 6 teams of 2
-Forge FFA replaced by Rumble Pit, Infinity Rumble and Rumble Pro only
-Team Objective changed to 6v6, Extraction transitioned into here and not its own playlist
-Multi-Team and Team Objective Full Details posted Monday 8 April

Broadcaster Spotlight #13 - Demonicide




Tell us about yourself.
My name is Austin, I attend BGSU, I enjoy pretty much any form of competition, (watching, playing, etc.) This is probably what led me to start playing Halo since it was the most competitive game on xbox at the time I purchased it.

What is your Gamertag and why did you choose it?
My Gamertag is Demonicide, I had several former aliases but after I came back to Halo after a year hiatus I needed a change, after some time and thinking, I decided I wanted to be demon killer, and made my own word up. Demonicide

Have you ever competed in any events?
I will be competing at AGL Nashville, 1st big competition!

What go you into streaming?
Honestly, I enjoyed watching Matt Excelz stream in Reach. None of my friends at the time streamed, so therefore I bought the necessities to stream. I enjoyed the entertainment he provided, and I wanted to do the same.

How long have you been streaming for?
About 9 months

What days and times can you normally be found streaming?
I stream at odd times, but usually any day but Sunday between 3 p.m and 5 a.m

How did you find out about Halotracker?
I learned about Halotracker because I wanted to get back into Halo during Reach. The ranks on HTR brought me back to Halo, single handedly.



A Happy 20th Birthday today to Demonicide! We are happy to have you in the Halotracker community!

PAX East 2013: Halo 4 Multiplayer Panel

Thanks to podtacular for the full panel video!



It's quote a long video which includes info regarding the past, present and future of Halo 4 Multiplayer. They showcased the new "Forge Island" and did a Q & A towards then end. I have listed below all the main questions and answers for your convenience.

Q: Will we ever have the option to hold X to pick up the flag?

A: We can't rule it out completely, we may come up in the future when we do another CTF update, but it's not in our current plans.

Q: Will we be ever taken out of scope when shot?

A: It's been looked at a couple of times, and I don't think it's gonna happen for this release.

Q: Is Forge precision editing on the table for the future?

A: I don't believe we have any additional plans for Forge improvements but we will keep an open mind for future projects for sure.

Q: For the 1-50 Ranks, you said we can start over so I don't have to make another account to get another 50; What does that reward? Why would I want to start over a rank 1 and do it all over again?

A: The point behind resets is, on ways alot of other games have done, whether it be a preset time after launch, like a game update, a big sandbox re-balance. It wouldn't be extremely regular. The other reason would be to mitigate rank locking, we're still using a similar system and we've been talking to the people who work on the backend of matchmaking to make it so rank locking wouldn't happen. The best way to fight against that would be regular reset that would happen at appropriate times.

Best of the Community - Halo 4 Montage

Although it may not seem like it at first, I spent alot of time on this project. I'm not a big editor of any kind, but I thought I would spend more time on producing montages instead of creating weekly montages for fun. You'll see more of these in the future, maybe with some Halo 3 or Reach thrown in. Hope you appreciate it.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy!

Upcoming Competitive Playlist

For fans of Competitive Halo, here's the news you've all been waiting for. Details on an upcoming Competitive Playlist are as follows:

As we first told you in the 12.12.12 Halo Bulletin, ( http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/12/12/The-Halo-Bulletin-121212.aspx ) we have been hard at work on a competitive playlist featuring heavily modified versions of Slayer, CTF, Extraction and King of the Hill. This playlist will launch before CSR (mid-February) and we envision it as both the go-to place for competitive play and the premier playlist to get your 50 in. We’ve been paying close attention to the competitive community’s settings while building this playlist, and will continue to do so both pre- and post-playlist launch. We will share the first outline of the settings next week to collect community feedback and perfect the competitive playlist before going live. The name of this playlist is still TBD - please feel free to give us suggestions.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on AGL this weekend and the settings they are using at this tournament. Please continue to provide feedback as it helps us fine-tune and perfect your Matchmaking experience, and thank you, as always, for your continued support.


Early settings for this playlist:
4 vs 4
Pre-set game loadouts
Forced respawn timers
No instant respawn
Ordnance on re-supply timers
Join-in-progress off
No split-screen play
Friendly fire on
Max party size 4 with big party matching enforced
No guests allowed

More Halo4 Tracking Stats

Happy Holidays.

Tonight I added a new 'Tracking' tab that will show your rolling and daily KD/Win% stats.   Rolling means your overall KD computed each day, showing you as your overall KD went up or down.   The daily columns are your stats that Day.

One Note: We do not update your stats automatically for you, so if you want to have accurate Daily tracking, be sure to update your stats daily, otherwise you will have gaps.  



Hope you enjoy!

Halo 4 Stats Update

Alright, hope everyone has enjoyed Halo 4. I've been adding stuff everyday, but for the less observant people out there, here is a quick list of what I have done, and then, some future plans.  

1) Medals and Weapons   They no longer download automatically, you have to go into the settings tab and check, and boom.  
2) Medals/Weapons Completion  Assuming you download those stats, you'll see which ones you have, and which ones you are missing. It's possible some of them are impossible to get, and we'll remove those when we can.
3) Leaderboards Today I added Total XP and Playlist High Skill. Definitely going to want to check those out.
4) Game Type Stats  You got all your stats broken out, with ranks if you are ranked higher in top 5000.  Green ranks if your ever better.  Your site score percentile on the site.  And of course True skill.

If you click on the game type name, you can see your true skill history.  Be sure to check that out.

5) True Skill  Grade 1 and 2 have been added.  You might see those callled rank 51/52, but its Grades of 50.

Upcoming Plans

Charts: Going to add a few more things into the charts and fix the scale so things look better.
Medal / Weapons Ranks & Leaderboards

After those 2 are done, I will move to supporter stats.  Supporter stats will be how you get your playlist stats, as well as daily stats broken out,  who you play best/worst with, etc, like we did for reach.  That will take quite a bit of development time.  I have a good start.

Hope you enjoy the site, don't forget to donate, our donations have ran pretty dry since we don't have supporter stats up for Halo 4.  Our server bills are still coming though!

Thanks

Are you a fun forger? Want to have your maps on MLG's live stream? Read more.



So Ive been working with Chris Puckett (Executive Producer at Major League Gaming) for a new live stream show he has been having on http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/home.

He wants fun and exciting maps to share with the MLG community.
This is where you come in.

Message me in my pm box your map and gametype names with your gamertag so I can search your fileshare and download your maps.

I have to make sure they are not broken and that they are playable.
If he chooses your map. I'll let you know. I usually don't know which ones he will use until that day.

This is an ongoing event that will be live streamed every Tuesday night at 6pm EST

You will get full credit for your maps and you will be helping out HaloTracker...doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside

You can see the past broadcasts here to get an idea of what I need
http://tv.majorleaguegaming.com/playlists/194-halo-4-with-puckett

Its only the shows that says Halo 4 Funtypes with Puckett

Again, I only need fun maps and gametypes, nothing competitive.

Halo 4 API discussion on the Halo Council Show

If you don't know what the Halo Council Show is, its a informal podcast which they discuss mostly eSports and the MLG scene, on this weeks show, Gandhi brought up the Halo 4 API as a topic. I think it created a great discussion about stats, and how important stats have been to players since H2. Hope you enjoy.

Also, Molly wrote up a great article on the Halo Council site regarding API and why it is important to sites like HTR, go read it here!

Broadcaster Spotlight #12 - Incubad



I am proud to bring share the newest HTR Broadcasters Spotlight: Incubad


What are your favorite games when you are not playing Halo?
Definately Mass Effect. The campaign is awesome, and they are always adding more free DLCs to the multiplayer which is basically like firefight except better.

Which Halo is your favorite and Why?
I'd have to say H2. It was my first xbox game and the super jumps, custom games, matchmaking, and awesome campaign quotes made it my favorite one so far.

What is your favorite gametype and map?
Capture the Flag. I love most objective based gametypes. Battle Canyon is probably my favorite map on Reach. I played it alot in the Anniversary Squad playlist.

Collecting Money for HTR Jerseys at the MLG Halo 4 Event: Neighbor Naded Elumnite Hysteria

Masonyx has used is own money, to sponsor and create a MLG team for the Halo 4 Tournament in Dallas.  This is going to be a huge event, probably one of the most watched events.

The members on the team are: Neighbor Naded Elumnite Hysteria

Because of Masons generosity, he has some halotracker advertisements on the jersey.  This is going to be bad ass to have our community name on such talented players, in such a big event.   What I would like to do is raise a bit of money, to help pay Mason back.

I would also like to offer a bonus to the players for getting on stage, this will encourage them to continue to promote halotracker in the future.  Since Halotracker is not-for-profit, we need help.    Please help us raise a few bucks to keep the halotracker promotion train going!

Thanks

Community Spotlight: Silver Sol



I am pleased to bring you the newest HTR Community Spotlight: Silver Sol


What are your favorite activities when you decide to put down your controller?
I guess reading takes a lot of my time when I'm not playing video games. Listening to music is also another thing I enjoy doing.

Do you have a favorite television show?
That 70's Show. I don't think I've ever seen anything funnier, and Red's constant threats to his son is one of the most priceless things I've watched on TV.

Do you have a favorite movie?
Oh yes. Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers has probably one of the most epic battle scenes. The Battle of Helms Deep is one of the most dramatic scenes in the entire trilogy to me.

Do you have a favorite actor/actress?  
Arnold Schwarzenegger. I never get tired of his "Get to the chopper!" quote.

Happy to announce that we have added Rank 50 Grade 6 to the site. I never thought you guys would push so hard to get the Rank 50 Grade 5.  I am truly amazed.  So, it's time to raise the bar again.  

Grade 6 will take 4x longer to get than it took you to get Grade 5.  I also adjusted the formula for Grade 6 just to make your life a little bit harder.  Increased penalties for losing and dying.   Good luck on your endeavor!!

Here is the rank image, , a thing of beauty, isn't it?

Community Spotlight: Tyyger



I am proud to bring you the newest Community Spotlight: Tyyger


Do you have a favorite television show?
Two and a half men. Charlie sheen is a demi god amongst men, if not, a little insane at times. As well as that, I've always enjoyed the same typical shows, "Friends", "rules of engagement"...etc. I do enjoy shows like numbers, and other programs, but those are mainly science/space related.

Do you have a favorite movie?
Man, I haven't really watched movies in my life time. I would honestly have to say The Dark Knight has been my favourite. It is played well, and I have always enjoyed "darkness" being played well. The last Batman movie was good, but not the best one.

Do you have a favorite actor/actress?  
I love the way Johnny Depp acts, so between him and Heath Ledger. Would be my favourite. That is Heath Ledger as the Joker in Batman.

Members Of The Week

We are going to try something new here at halotracker.  Most of our members would love to have a color behind their name in the chat and posts, but we have always been pretty strict about that.  Today we are going to add one more color.

Every Sunday night, the system will go out and pick 10 members who were the most active in the forum the week prior.  This is a formula based on how many posts you make, your # of credits received for posting, and some other tricks I'm not going to mention.

Based on this formula, if you are in the top 10, you will get a color for the next 7 days.  At the end of the week, we will remove your color, and pick another 10 people.  

FYI-Izzle.. I will probably change the formula pretty often and sneak stuff in there.  Participation in certain posts, polls (hint), etc.  You never know.

F.A.Q

Q:  Do these people have any power?

A: No, none.  It's just bragging rights

Q: Can people boost and get this?

A: Yes. If you boost and get this, we have a VERY easy way to see, we see everything, and we will simply black list you, ban you, and anything else we're in the mood to do to make you look stupid.

Q: Can I lose my color before the week is over?

A: Yes. The staff, for any reason, can deem you not worthy and remove it. The formula doesn't take into consideration your maturity level, and staff can handle that case by case.

Q: Can staff get member of the week?

A: Nope

Hope you enjoy.

Hello All, Today I added Thread Subscriptions, this will allow you to receive a PM or an E-Mail when someone posts in a thread.  I also have a Watch list which is coming soon.

When would you use this?

- Ask a staff question, want to be notified when it's answered?
- Follow important staff posts about stats, trueskill, halo 4, etc so you get notified of updates
- Know when people post in your thread
- Works for groups too
- Advertising your clan? Don't you want to know when someone asks a question?

Since we don't send newsletters anymore, this would be a good way to follow big items.



Thanks,

Stay tuned for Watch List to show up, subscribing to entire forums, etc.

Broadcaster Spotlight #10 - Harrold Nutt



I am proud to bring you the newest Broadcasting Spotlight featuring: Harrold Nutt


What got you into gaming, and Halo specifically?
When I was about 5 my parents got my brother and I an Atari 2600.  It was over after that.  I'd say I really started keeping up on the video game world after receiving my first issue of EGM.  From then on I always had to know what was on the horizon and had to keep up on the latest reviews.  

I first played Halo just after arriving for duty on my first ship, the USS Lake Erie.  One of the guys tasked with getting me acquainted with the ship had just bought a brand new Xbox with Halo and invited me over to check it out.  I went out and bought an Xbox and a copy of CE the next day.  

What are your favorite games when you are not playing Halo?
The last couple years I've pretty much played only First Person Shooters.  Bioshock 1 & 2, Borderlands and uh, that's about it lately.  My job keeps me pretty busy, so I stick to Reach mostly.

HTR Mini-Montage Editing Contest - Halo 3


By edge on 8/13/2012 4:42:15 PM - 1 comment


HaloWarz



HaloWarz.com is a Free to Enter Tournament website dedicated to the Halo Community. We host a wide variety of events,
such as Free-For-Alls, 1v1's, 2v2's and 4v4's.


HaloWarz was started to bring together teams and players in a fair, fun, competitive atmosphere, and to provide the community with well structured free tournament events on a weekly basis.

What makes these tournaments great is that anyone can participate, casual gamers to professionals, everyone is welcomed to sign up and attend, and there is NEVER a sign up fee. All you have to do to participate is sign up, register your gamertag and show up on time for the event.

For every tournament competitors will have the chance to win small prizes from gift cards to free copies of Halo 4 to cash. This means in our tournaments there is nothing to lose and all to gain. Also, we will be capturing some VOD from our tournaments so everyone in the community can check out some of the action, and we can put as much Halo content out as possible.

HaloWarz also supports other competitive communities and events related to Halo, we try to schedule our events around larger tournaments related to Halo, as well as freely advertise large venues and host streams for events related to the community. We are all about bringing the community together in the spirit of fun, friendly competition, and any group that supports that endeavor is welcomed to advertise with us.

HaloWarz has also started to seek out individuals or organizations looking to host a tournament themselves but don't have the tournament resources to do so. We provide for anyone looking to sponsor an event: tournament brackets, advertising and Referees to make the tournament fun and run smoothly.

To us at HaloWarz it’s all about bringing Halo players together, and to share in the competitive greatness of Halo. We look forward to providing this awesome experience to the community for years to come!

Honoring Aurora

Maddog1953 of the Ancient Warriors came up with a fantastic idea for the Halo community. I am sure you are all aware of the tragedy that took place in Aurora, Colorado on July 20, 2012 where 70 people were injured and 12 killed in a mass shooting at a theater. This horrific episode has hit many families and it will take a long time for many to heal.


Maddog1953 proposed that on this Sunday everyone, as a sign of sympathy, support and awareness, sport the red heart on a white background on our Halo "nameplates" in honor of those who were killed or wounded, and their families.


Please join us in remembering the victims and spreading the word.

Halotracker "The Forge"

Howdy!

This weekend I've been a busy boy.  I developed a forge database for you guys, that will carry us out on reach, and be ready for Halo 4.  It's a place where forgers can upload their Premium maps, for everyone to see.  

I say premium, and I mean it. This is a way to the really good maps to the people.  Amature maps are still welcome at Halotracker, under the Files menu, you can link up your maps, and spam them all you want.

But The Forge, is where to go if you're looking for new maps to play with friends, use in a tournament, or get some inspiration.

Check it out for yourself, you can find this link under the "Halo Reach" menu drop down.   We will be featuring maps every week and putting them on the Homepage.  If you are a forger, this is your oppurtunity to shine, and be on the homepage of a large halo site.

Obligatory screenie:



Enjoy!

Huge Thanks for Darkened Night.  He was a monster help.

Halotracker Staff vs GrifballHub Staff

This Saturday June 9th, starting at 6pm EST until 8pm EST, your very own HTR Staff will be taking on the Staff from GrifballHub. If you haven't ever checked out GrifballHub, here is a quick run down of what they are all about:


GrifballHub is a collaborative effort brought to you by several of the more active and well known members of the Grifball community.

Our goal is to provide you, the Grifball enthusiast with news and insight on the game of Grifball including its leagues, tournaments and Halo Waypoint exclusives. We are the leading source for all of your Grifball needs on the internet. Others imitate, we originate.

It goes without saying that we all share a similar passion for the game of Halo, and of course Grifball and through GrifballHub we hope to help expand the community and its fanbase.



Be sure to tune in for all the shenanigans and fun as we will be playing a mixture of various custom gametypes and maps. We will be playing everything from "Shooty Halo", as the GrifballHub folks like to say, to racing games. If you have something fun you would like us to play, feel free to post them here and we will consider it.

The first 2 hours or so will be Staff vs Staff. However, after that we will be mixing up the teams and including some viewers from the streams. So if you want to play with or against the Staff members, be sure to watching the streams.

The best part of all of this, is both sides will be streaming the event from their different point of views and you can watch both streams here on HTR using the Dual View feature.

Social Wall



Widget
This is a cool widget I threw up just for fun. Check it out here.  It just consolidates halotracker's twitter, youtube, and facebook stuff into one slick page.  You can always check it out to see whats going on with Halotracker, the stuff we probably wouldn't make a news post about.

You can find the link at the top of the page.

Awards
I realized we didn't have a list of Site Awards you could see, So I put one up.. For those of you want to horde awards (me!) you can see what's out there.

Thanks!
I've been away lately due to being busy, the site is doing very well, and looking at the event calendar, it's obvious the staff and members of this site are keeping things new and exciting, and I thank everyone for that.

Cool story bro?

Cheers!

Forge Cafe Game Nights



Fellow Halotracker members,

I am delighted to extend a helping hand to anyone who has created a map in forge and cannot find people to help analize and test it out. Forge Cafe offers a great opportunity for anyone to get down and funky on some custom games every Saturday, of every month, until the sun finally burns out. We have been hosting our "Forge Cafe Custom Game Nights" (FCCGNs) for nearly a year now and have brought our family of forgers over to Halotracker.com for some new faces and creative canvases.

To give a general outline of a typical night, it goes as follows. Hop into our custom game party, and slip into line. We go through several dozen maps, back to back, until everyone gets a chance to load theirs up. We roll through the list of players alphabetically, with 1 map per person, until the cycle repeats itself. This is performed with precision, and we are consistant with keeping good company in, and bad company out. A handful of veteran Forge Cafe members are always present, and the atmosphere is magical. We offer playtesting, feedback, and a comfortable place to play custom games. Including races, silly games, BTB maps, or infection. We do it all.

Anyone is welcome to join, we post up a sign-up thread every week in our group forums here at halotracker, so finding us is as easy as "click click". If the party fills up, and people are outside barking, we have protocol to follow and secondary parties can be established if the situation allows.

We offer a smorgasbord of HT/FC player page awards that you can earn as trinkets for your legacy at this website. Including assassinating myself, hijacking an enemy falcon and getting top kills during a FCCGN!



So if you are interested, jump over to our group and get signed up!

Forge Cafe Group Link

Thanks!

-undr zid and the Forge Cafe crew.

“Halo 4” Redefines Iconic Franchise with “Halo Infinity Multiplayer” Experience

Introducing “Halo Infinity Multiplayer”

The hub of the “Halo 4” multiplayer experience is the UNSC Infinity – the largest starship in the UNSC fleet that serves as the center of your Spartan career. Here you’ll build your custom Spartan-IV supersoldier, and progress your multiplayer career across all “Halo 4” competitive and cooperative game modes. Surrounded by the sights, sounds and crew of the biggest vessel in the UNSC fleet, your multiplayer experience will be embedded in the fiction of “Halo” like never before, where your progress and game choices affect your appearance, arsenal, and role on the battlefield.

·         Spartan Ops. The story of the UNSC Infinity intersects with the “Halo 4” campaign, then continues on in a brand-new, story-driven experience known as Spartan Ops. A first of its kind and exciting new addition to the “Halo” franchise, Spartan Ops is an episodic adventure that blends immersive storytelling, high-quality cinematics, and action-packed gameplay to deliver an unprecedented serialized experience.

Through a weekly series of cinematic episodes on Xbox LIVE, Spartan Ops will tell the continuing story of the UNSC Infinity, following the events of “Halo 4.” These episodes will center on the UNSC Infinity leaders and crew, and a new team of Spartans – Majestic Squad. These cinematic episodes will provide the backdrop for the weekly Spartan Ops gameplay missions. Playable in single-player or cooperatively (with up to three friends), explore the corners of Requiem in these objective-based missions, and help uncover the secrets of the mysterious Forerunner world.

A massive-scale adventure that builds off the “Halo 4” story, access to Spartan Ops is included with “Halo 4” at no additional charge – effectively delivering two campaign experiences in one game.*

·         War Games. The competitive multiplayer modes of “Halo 4,” known as War Games, take place on the combat deck of the UNSC Infinity and revive the visceral and immersive experiences that “Halo” multiplayer is famous for. “Halo 4” introduces fresh, immersive new game modes and strategies to help you progress your Spartan-IV career, while also delivering an experience that’s still distinctly and uniquely “Halo.” More details on all the modes of War Games will be released at a later time.

·         Total Combat Freedom and Player Progression. “Halo 4” features a vastly expanded suite of new multiplayer modes, weapons, vehicles, armor abilities, a new loadout and player progression system, and a new armor modification system that introduces gameplay-enhancing customizations for the first time in a “Halo” game. These advancements can be used in both Spartan Ops and certain War Games matchmaking playlists, empowering player choice, vastly expanding their creative options, and make the experience deeper for core fans and more approachable for newcomers.

The “Halo 4” player progression system goes beyond simple aesthetic upgrades, encouraging players to invest time and effort to create a Spartan that looks and plays the way they want. Players can earn and activate combat enhancements called “Specializations” based on the style of play they engage in, from stealth to all-out assault, and everything in between.

Master Chief Returns With Worldwide Launch of “Halo 4” Beginning Nov. 6

REDMOND, Wash. — April 17, 2012 — The countdown has begun for the landmark entertainment event millions of fans worldwide have been anticipating for more than four years. “Halo 4,” the hotly anticipated sequel to the iconic franchise that has shaped entertainment history, will launch worldwide on Nov. 6, 2012.


“Halo 4” marks the return of legendary hero Master Chief, named by Fast Company as “one of the most popular characters in gaming history,”1 and aims to set a new standard for blockbuster interactive entertainment with the launch. Set four years after the events in “Halo 3,” Master Chief returns to confront his destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe. Developed by 343 Industries, “Halo 4” marks a new beginning for the landmark entertainment franchise that has sold more than 40 million games worldwide and inspired multiple New York Times best-selling novels, live-action shorts, comic books, action figures and apparel.


“We are beginning a new saga with ‘Halo 4’ and embarking on a journey that will encompass the next decade of ‘Halo’ games and experiences,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Studios. “Millions of fans worldwide have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to step back into the boots of Master Chief, and, with ‘Halo 4’ leading the charge, we’re confident 2012 will be the most successful year in Xbox history.”

“Halo 3,” the biggest consumer product launch of all time when it released in 2007,2 concluded the original game trilogy, but left many unanswered questions around the fates of the series’ beloved hero, the Master Chief, and his artificial intelligence companion, Cortana. On Nov. 6, fans will experience the next chapter of the iconic franchise.

Tonight, Conan O’Brien will help celebrate this fall’s launch of “Halo 4” with a special segment on “CONAN” on TBS at 11 p.m. PDT/10 p.m. CDT. Those interested should tune in and check out http://www.teamcoco.com or follow @TeamCoco on Twitter for updates and more details.

HTR Top 5 - March

Thanks for everyone who submitted!



COMMUNITY FILES LINK // YOUTUBE LINK


This will be the last Top 5 for a while, after March 31st File Sharing will not be available online for a short period of time, this is due to the transition from Bungie to 343. This will give us time to revamp the look of the Top 5, so until then enjoy! :)

Community Spotlight: Jennie



I am proud to offer you the newest HTR Community Spotlight: Jennie!!!

What are your favorite activities when you decide to put down your controller?

I have become quite domesticated since taking a leave from work, so hanging out with the kids or cooking and cleaning.  My life is incredibly boring.

Do you have a favorite television show?

Do you have a favorite movie?

HaloTracker's Community File Spotlight



This week's Community File Spotlight is Balldodge created by Graham



The Concept: The concept of all of these maps is to balldodge (dodging balls in whatever form they come at you) and to live the longest while completing the given objective.

IMPORTANT: The Game Types are required to play these maps effectively.


Graham has made four different versions with four different gametypes.  Each with their own different objective.


Here's a video preview of the original Balldodge

Broadcaster Spotlight #6 - Buk57 & Buk20 (MLG Pro)



I am proud to offer you the newest HTR Broadcasting Spotlight. This spotlight is a 2 for 1 bonus, featuring the Buk brothers: BUK 57 & apeX BUK 20.


What is your best or favorite Pro moment?

57 - Favorite Pro moment would have to be beating Str8 Rippin at Raleigh 2010 National Championships in 2 series, with an overall score of 6-1 against them where we ended up placing 10th.
  
20 - I'd have to say that moment also, or perhaps being invited to TheLanNetwork last year to practice against some of the best teams in the game before the MLG Dallas 2011 Opener event, that was a really cool experience!

What got you into streaming?

57 - We saw lots of other players doing it and it looked like something fun to do as well as helping to promote ourselves and our team.
  
20 - A lot of people wanted to see us play online, so we've done everything in our power to give our fans and followers what they want!

Forge Café "Concrete Jungle" Contest



Monitors At The Ready!


To all Forge Café forgers and Halotracker members, the time has come to dust off your monitors and get to work! As a group, and as a community, we are proud to present an opportunity for everyone to show off their skills with a creative contest that all are welcome to participate in. There are prizes and medals up for grabs, and as many entries as possible will be crammed into a video for the world to see. So whether you are the pinnacle of forge greatness, or a schmuck with a few good ideas, get familiar with the rules and regulations and let's see what you can do!



"Concrete Jungle" Forge Contest

Revisiting a contest from our Halo 3 days of glory, we want you to build one of our friends from the animal kingdom. From any time period, from any part of the world. However big or small, ferocious or gentle. Whether the creature is imaginary, or prehistoric. The possibilities are endless and as varied as your imagination can come up with. If you fancy the creatures of the sky, or the monsters of the deep, we want you to build it as realistic as your thumbs will allow. There is no restriction to how many creatures you stuff onto your canvas, or as complex the design is. A swarm of locusts? A school of fish? Or maybe a single dinosaur climbing the mountain side, it's all acceptable.!




Rules

The rules are rather simple. Do not copy another's work and submit it as your own, and do not make anything obscene or offensive. As beautiful as it is observing 2 lions making love in the wild, we don't want to see them forever preserved in stone.



Submissions

The contest will last 2 weeks, ending on April 1st @ 12:00 p.m. CST. This is important, if you submit your map at 12:01 Monday morning, it will not be accepted.



How To Submit

To submit your map, either PM zid or visit the Forge Cafe group, request to join and visit the "Concrete Jungle" Contest Forum".

Once you are in the FC group, visit here to submit your map!



Prizes

1st Place will receive 4000 MS Points US (or equivalent for your respected region)
+ Custom FC award


2nd place will receive 1600 MS Points US (or equivalent for your respected region)
+ Custom FC award


3rd Place= Custom FC award

The first 15 Participants will receive a Brute Avatar Code!

All Participants receive participation award.

Every entry will be featured in a video that will be displayed on both Forge Café & Halotracker's Youtube pages.




If you have any questions about the contest, please PM "undr zid", or post them in our forums and answers will be provided ASAP. All information is available at our group  Forge Café here on Halotracker.

Good Luck to everyone!

HaloTracker's Community File Spotlight



This week's Community Files Spotlight is Facility 17 submitted by under zid of Forge Cafe.



Facility 17 is a based on the idea of an underground testing lab, with cosemetic detail in mind. We really wanted to give the feel of being in a labratory deep with the rocky core of the earth. The facility was being used to reverse engineer Covenant technology during the space wars. Captured ships were taken underground, and UNSC top officials and scientists would use stolen programs to duplicate the alien energy.

The energy would then be gathered in silos and stored for future agendas. The facility remained CODE BLACK until recent attacks on UNSC cities forced the military to de-classify the area, and tap into the energy reserves. It remains operational today, although very little energy remains.

Updates

Morning,

Obviously all the buzz is going around about halo 4, and you probably want a place to celebrate, rage, discuss, or learn. You can do all that in our Halo 4 Forum!

There was a pretty significant update to broadcasters page this weekend, hope you enjoy a little more organized listing.  Streamers will be broken out by:

MLG
HTR Supporters
Everyone Else

Also has a leaderboard for most views (of the people online), and gives us more room to add new features later on, as the old design had us locked in.

Also, streamers will have a short link now,  for example:  http://halotracker.com/b/xorth.



Enjoy

Broadcaster Spotlight #5 - Cloud (MLG Pro)



Check out the newest Broadcasting spotlight on MLG Pro player Cloud.

How long have you been part of MLG?
I've been a part of MLG since 2007 I'd say.

What teams have you been apart of?
I've been a part of Believe The Hype probably more than any other player. Ambush with Pistola, Heinz, and Nexus in H3. Instinct with Roy, Lunch, and Elamite in H3. Last year I teamed with Believe The Hype for the majority of events with a lot of different rosters. Final Boss with Fearitself, Victory X, and Totz in Reach. Dynasty with Heinz, Snip3down, and Tizoxic in Reach. Those are all the different teams I have been a part of.

What is your best/favorite MLG moment?
My favorite moment from MLG is winning the 09 national championships with Clutch, Demon D, and Maniac when nobody thought we had any chance of winning.

The the whole interview HERE!!!

Welcome Forge Cafe to Halotracker!



I'd like to welcome Forge Cafe to Halotracker.  They are a forging and halo community that was hosted on bungie, and they have made the move over to halotracker.  Already I am so happy they moved. Everyone has been outstanding people, and just the quality of players that we want on this site.  I urge you to check them out.  Not a forger? That's fine, they do group night every friday night and just play on community forged maps.  

They give out Forge Cafe awards now, on your halotracker player page, and it would just be a great way to meet some good folks.

Thanks!

Here is a writeup straight from them

Forge Café
founded by "undr zid" in April, 2009

Orginally stationed at Bungie.net, Forge Café has recently made the jump over to Halotracker to build from the ground up. We are the largest user made forge group at Bungie, and we hope to create something very useful here. Our group provides a great enviroment for players to post their forge creations, and get feedback quickly and from normal everyday players. Our member count of 3,000 has died down considerably after the launch of Halo:Reach, and more recently with the blackout at Bungie.net. Regardless, the majority of the members have been a part of Forge Café for years, and have shown no intention of leaving any time soon.

In addition to being able to get feedback on your maps in the forums, our members get together every Friday night for our FCCGNs (Forge Cafe Custom Game Nights). Here we cycle through dozens of maps every night, from full party races, to large BTB flag games. The members who regularly attend are very cooperative, and give honest feedback. Bad or good. The footage from these weekly game nights are compiled and thrown up on youtube in the form of our patented FCCGN Recap Videos. Feel free to visit our Youtube page forgecafevideos and check out all of our footage from our FCCGNs, and forge contests from our past.

Last but not least Forge Café is most known for our forge contests. As we plant a small flag here at this wonderful site, we are going to be providing oppurtunities for all Halotracker members to participate in some fun contests. We welcome everyone to join in on the action!

A gracious 'Thank You' to the admins and mods that have helped make the transition smooth and welcoming. I look forward to a healthy relationship and future activities!

Community Spotlight: sR Vegeta



Check out the newest Community Spotlight Interview with sR Vegeta.

Where do you currently live?
I’m actually enlisted in the USAF. I’m currently stationed in New Mexico.

What are your favorite activities when you decide to put down your controller?
Well, with being in the Air Force I have to stay physically fit. With that being said, most of my off time is spent running or in the gym.

Do you have a favorite television show?
I don’t have much time for TV, but I definitely enjoy House and The Office.

Teaming up with Gamers4Christ



Halotracker has teamed up with Gamers4Christ.  Together we're going to bring you some events in the near future.

First up, we're doing a 2v2 Tournament with $500 cash prize, which is 100% coming from Gamers4Christ.  You should check it out.

Also, tonight they are doing a bible study at 7 PM Central, you can watch it here.  MLG Pro Naded will be there as well and they will probably also discuss the tournament.

These guys are forming up a community of religious players, or those seeking religion, to run some good clean games together, without all the hate that's out there.

Take it easy!

10,343 Halotracker challenges, in the bag!

Wow.  Never thought we would see this day.  The users of this site, have completed 10,343 challenges.  

Why is this significant? It shows you how tight this community is, and how it pulls people together to enjoy and continue playing Halo.  When you could be off getting credits for in-game challenges, you were out there getting ours.  Ours, which were often a lot harder, and all you got was some player page awards, it really shows how talented and dedicated you guys are.

We should all give the the challenge producers one big curtsie, for they make these challenges every week.  This feature is for you, by you, and I'm glad you enjoy it.  Sabj got this program going little less then a year ago, and the Challenge Creators group took over from there.   They get nothing in return for doing this work. This is all for you.

On Monday, I will compile all of the submissions for the dates: Feb 6th to Feb 20th.  Every submission you make is one raffle ticket.  Using random.org, I will pick winners and PM you codes!

Some Stats

Firsties
- 10,343rd Challenge submission:  Hellraizer87
- First challenge submission:  sabj
- First person to hit 100 Challenges: pimpumpam
- my psychologist just hit 400 challenges complete!

You!
- 658 people have submitted a challenge
- Assuming an 8 minute game, and 1 game to get the challenge,  users have spent 1,379 hours getting challenges.
- 2,839 Awards have been given out

Fail
- 1,009 challenges have been rejected

Other
- The busiest day was 2/13/2012 with 256  challenges completed.
- Rockin has processed 2,212 with Cyberdistortion not too far behind with 1,665.
- Yours truly, xorth, has dominated the scene with 98 challenges processed!

Shout out to: Meffyus, Jennie, Sabj, Night, edge, Sanctus, Ativan, Sengir, blinkz, tommy, and lycan for picking up Rockin's slack!

As you can see, this is a group effort. I hope you continue to enjoy our challenges, and we'll continue to do them.  Cya at 20k.  Special thanks to 343i for the prizes!

Game on.

New Classifications!!

Hip Hip!



Darkened Night has brought us more goodies.  We are happy to announce 3 more classifications today!

We added them for MLG, Fliers (Banshee/Falcon), and Quitting!

Yep, you heard us right. Those of you who stay in the game until the end, will be classified as honorable players.  The only sad part is, this classification uses supporter stats, so you have to be a supporter to get it Cry, but, you can donate and support us and get it! Yay!

You can see the complete list here!

The Original News Post Explaining them Here

All you need to do is collect your stats, and you'll be classified.

Love, but not in love,

Hex19 Interview

Hex19, which a geeky blog that covers a lot of Halo stuff,  asked little old me to do an interview.  It was unlike any other interview I've done before because most of the questions were about Halotracker, and less about me  (which makes it far more interesting!)

Read Here

I hope you guys check it out.  Also, if you leave a comment on their site, you will be entered into a raffle for free supporter status on halotracker!

Classifications

Halotracker Classifications




Those of you who used to frequent a halo site called Halocharts, are probably aware of their classifications system.  Those of you who aren't aware, pay attention!

This is a system to classify you as a player.  These are not awards persay, they are much harder then awards.  This is a way for people to see what kind of player you are.  Based on a few different stats, you will be put into classifications!

This system is new, and like our Awards, there will be constantly more added over time. But to start, there are 4 classifications.

You may check the list out:  List of Halotracker Classifications

Good luck, hope you like them and stay tuned.  We will not just be adding them for weapons or medals, but for types of play  (Competitive, Recreational) and other various things.  

To Get These: Simply Collect your Reach Stats.  Then, Your Best one will show up on your front page.  And the rest on your "Progress" Tab

They will be hard to get.  You're welcome to chase them, but the idea here is to classify you.

Thanks to HC for this great idea, and hope you all enjoy.

Lastly, this was all made possible by darkened night.  Give him your thanks, or hate mail.

Happy Friday -

Want to blog for Halotracker?  No--- Wow, jerk, you didn't even hesitate.  Anyway, we're looking to get more help and spread the Halo love.  So, we're looking for bloggers.  

If you want to praise halo, or get something off your chest, or even got some news you want to share, we want you.  This would be a great way to expose your ideas and get some internet high fives.

Community Spotlight: Elumnite

  


Check out our interview with Elumnite.

Tell us about yourself:

What is your primary GT?
In the MLG world I am known as Elumnite and my XBL tag is Elumnation.

Your name will sound familiar to some people, why is that? Where would people recognize you from?
People should know me by now and I have work hard to get where im at in halo and in MLG.

Forum & Group Stats

Wow, can't believe I never made this.

Anyway, at the footer of every forum, including Group Forums, you got some stats now!

By xorth on 1/7/2012 4:03:38 PM - 3 comments


My Current Project

Lately I have been working on freshening up the supporter stats.  They have a lot of information, but were not always pleasing to the eyes, and there was a lack of filtering and sorting and what not.  

For instance, for the rolling KD stat, you could only see your overall rolling KD, you could not see your progress over a playlist or a game type (arena, competitive).  

So I am going back through a freshening those up, and making them more configurable, so you can enjoy them more and drill down to the data that you need to make you a better halo player.

If you would like any more stats added, or any ideas on how to improve that stat area, drop me a note in the comments!  I will be working on this for over the next week, and you'll see page by page being improved and looking better.  I'm not going to post news everytime I improve one, just be looking!

Thanks,

Happy New Year!!!!!!  Here's to halotracker getting even better in 2012 through the staff's hard work and YOUR support!!  We're going to do our best to make this site easier on the eyes, faster, smoother, and amazing.

Broadcasting Page Updates

Tonight I added some new features to make watching streams on Halotracker more Enjoyable.

I'll just list them the best I can with screen shots

Archived Videos & Highlights


Basic Stats


Change Video Size
Note this is the screen size, not resolution.  If you are watching a stream in 720p, you are actually watching it in a smaller window, with 720p quality.  This will put the screen in actual 720p size



Time for me to relax now.  Enjoy

Halotracker Blog

We have released a blog!

This will not replace the news, but just be a place where we can be more personal with the happenings of Halo, Halotracker, and our staff!

Halotracker Blog

New Stats!

It's been a while since I've added stats, but I'm back to adding some, as well as looking forward to a new stats page upgrade!

One thing I realized about halotracker is that we were showing your stats, not really tracking them. So I'm fixing that! There is a new tab on your stats page.  Called 'Progress'

Progress Tab
- Tracks your daily K/d, KA/d, Win%, Sitescore, and Spread
- Supporter? We track your headshots.  Sorry that data is only available by downloading all your games.

Important notes:
A) When we say "Daily" we mean, each time you collect.  So it's up to you to come to halotracker and update your stats. We don't have the resources to update 150,000 gamertags everyday.    If you collect once a week, then your "Daily" KD will be "Weekly" KD.  

B) We just turned this on, past data is not available (Except for headshots for supporters)

Screenie Time



Enjoy

Community Spotlight: Firestream


Check out the Community Spotlight of Firestream!

What is your primary GT?
Firestream

Your name will sound familiar to a lot of people, why is that? Where would people recognize you from?
Most likely from HaloCharts.com, as that was the place I spent the most time at in the last 4 years.

Do you use any other GT's that you would care to share?

Broadcaster Spotlight #3 - Ninja (MLG Pro)



Interview by ShavedLycan13


Tell us about yourself:

What is your GT and name?
My gamertag is Ninjection but I am known as Ninja   

What is your age?
I am 20 years old

Where are you from?
I am from Grayslake Illinois

What got you into gaming and Halo?
I always had competition with my brothers and I wanted to be better than them, so when I found out about MLG with Halo I wanted to be the best in that as well!

How long have you been part of MLG?
About 2 years now

What teams have you been apart of?
I have been apart of Final Boss, Victorious Secret, Turning Point, and some Am teams in halo 3: Second Nature, Four of a kind.

What is your best or favorite MLG moment?
My 1v1 dr. Pepper match on mainstage in Halo 3 orlando against my teammate/friend Mac

Whats your favorite game other than Halo?
Final Fantasy 11

Which Halo is your favorite and Why?
My favorite Halo would have to be Halo 2 because of all the button combos, I had a sick Double shot and BxR

What is your favorite gametype and map?
My favorite gametype/Map is probably Nexus King

What is your controller button layout and sensitivity settings?
I play Bumper Jumper 4 sens no vibration

With the Title Update and the option to adjust Bloom, do you think this will help or hurt competitive Halo?
This will only help competitive Halo, we will be testing the settings after providence.

What do you think about MLG deciding to keep Bloom in for the 2011 season?
I was a little upset about this decision, but I guess its for the best :(

What do you expect and anticipate will happen in the 2012 MLG season with Bloom and you personally?
You will definitely see some shifting within team rosters as well as their placings within the first couple of events.

Are you more excited for the release of Halo CE Anniversary or Halo 4 and Why?
Halo 4 hands down, I hope to be working with 343 and helping them make this game perfect for the competitive edge.

What is your favorite thing about Halotracker?
My favorite thing about Halotracker is PROBABLY... The fact that it has so many different aspects involving Halo: Reach. The kills, assists, kills with weapons. It really adds more of a competitive aspect to me at least. I love seeing that my past 3 accounts are like, top 10 in MLG haha.

New Challenge Monday

Happy Monday! Little bit of news:

Regional Leaderboards
The number 1 feature request has been "Country Leaderboards," But I decided to do you one better.  Regional Leaderboards.  This means, depending where you live,  State, and non-USA, City!  

Check out the leaderboard, add yourself.  This is still in beta.  One the main leaderboards work with Country/State/City, the Medals/Weapons/Playlists don't yet. But they will soon, assuming you guys like where I'm going with this.

Stat Combiner
This is a tool I made out of sheer boredom.  It's not even beta yet, it's like Alpha. If there was something before Alpha, it would be that. But we're stuck with Alpha.  Play with it, let me know what you think, and report any bugs (there will be bugs, I promise you).  

This tool is not done, and does not represent halotracker's quality standards. It's a quick, tool, made out of boredom!  Check it out here

New Challenge Monday
Shout out to devilsreapper49 for winning week 1 800 MSP!  You going to win week 2?

NEW LB & Theme

First Up, I have added a new leaderboard, that contains the following stats:
- Credits
- Daily Challenges / Weekly Challenges
- Sensitvity / Controller Style / Inverted
- # of 50s
- # of Onyxs
- # of HTR Awards
- MLG Pro Leaderboard

This is ever growing. It's a specialized leaderboard, which is why it has it's own page.  Of course a few notes:

- Boosters will be found and removed, give our head hunters some time.
- There are some people with Weekly Challenges completed that is an impossible number. I have no clue how they did it, and there are some trust worthy people on there who I know didn't reset their challenges.  It is what it is.  
- If MLG Pros change their GTs, let us know, we'll keep that leaderboard up to date

New Site Theme!

As you may have noticed, we have a new site theme, and unlike past theme releases, I applied this theme to everyone.  I hope you like it!

-Be sure to report any issues you have with it in the comments, as some browsers could potentially screw it up.
-Of course, you may go back to one of our old themes, simply click on 'My Stats' -> Account, and pick the theme you want and hit save.

Thanks!

Create your own Leaderboard

yay, the time is here, you can create your own leaderboard!

Here's how it works:
- You go here: Create your own Leaderboard, you can find this in the Leaderboards menu
- You Create a leaderboard, and then make a game set.  This will be a block of games.
- You enter in all the game ids, or links, that you want, and add them
- Then you end up with a leaderboard of those games.  

Few Notes
- If you want to limit gamertags to just your friends (not everyone in the game), then you need to make a group with your friends, and you can have it pull only people in your group
- You can make multiple game sets, like if you have a game night, and you want to keep them seperate.  Or you can put them all in one big bucket.

After you make your leaderboard, you can share it with a link to all your friends!

If you need help with this, check out this awesome guide made by edge!



Enjoy.

Massive Stat Guide

After people requesting over and over stats that we already have, we decided that perhaps we have too many stats! Instead of deleting them all though, we decided to make a guide. haha.

Edge put a lot of work into this, so please check it out.  We have a ton of stats, and it's hard to organize them. I do my best, and there is tabs all over the place.  It's likely you've missed something. Even some hardcore halotracker users, who have donated, and been here since day one, have missed some of our stats that are hidden on your stats page.

Check out this guide, and make sure you're seeing all there is to see.  If Edge forgot anything, troll him.

Without further adu, A massive complicated guide for a massive complicated stats page:

http://www.halotracker.com/Forums/ShowThread.aspx?ID=74877

Thans Edge!

PS. There is another tab! YES! Another tab, called "Help" on your stats page, that will load this guide.

True Skill Leaderboard

Hello thar!

I realized today we don't have a leaderboard for True Skill.  Not sure how I forgot that, we are a leaderboard site after all.

Anyway, this is filtered by playlist.  You can see all the pretty ranks, find yourself, and even find a friend.  Hope you enjoy. I have a few more ideas for leaderboards, but you'll have to wait!

Link to Leaderboard

Screenie:



Couple Notes:
-The leaderboard IS in order.  If you are a 50, and the person below you is also 50, guess what, you're the better 50.  
- The weird lookin 50s are grades. Those people rock.
- The Gold people are supporters, why aren't you?
- Find this leaderboard in the Menu called, ya, "Leaderboards"

Thanks!

Games By Day Updated

If your a supporter, or haven't used your 500 game download yet, you'll like this!

In your Games by Day played stat, you can now see a daily break down of your games played per Game Type, Playlist, and Map!  This is just another way to break down your last nights games.

You can find this stat in your Reach Stats, In-Depth Stats, and a link towards the bottom.

Enjoy this update!



If you have any more ideas of stats to be on this page, let me know!

Thanks,

Xorth

Site Score Updates

You will notice your overall site score going up today.  There is no major change.

Basically, your overall sitescore was sort of an average of all of your Arena/Competitive/Invasion site scores, and this was causing some issues.

I changed this to be the SUM of those site scores, not an average, so of course your site score is going to go up.  Your site rank will change as well.  

This move was to fix some bugs, but it also gets us going in the right direction for Site Score 2.0.

Thanks, If there is any concerns, put them in the comments.

Weekend Update

True Skill
We updated the images, just to make it nicer, and added another grade. If you have a 50 Grade 5, you are insanely good and you need to go outside. But, regardless, I'll be impressed



True Skill Hints
A lot of people have said that our True Skill System is very hard. I want to give you guys some hints on ranking up, so it won't be so hard.   Win. Win. Win.   We look at Kills, Assists, Deaths, etc too (in some playlists), but overall its about winning.  Party up with friends, and win.  If you play with randoms and you hold a 50% win rate, you won't rank up.  You didn't rank up in H3 either.  

Use our forum, find some like minded, like skilled people, and party up and rank up.

Broadcasters Page
- We have brought ShavedLycan13 on as our broadcasters manager. He will be off recruiting new talent, and helping us remove streamers who never stream.  Shout out to him!
- New broadcasters page. Updated graphics.  Enjoy the new slick look. Example
- Updated Broadcasters listing page. Mouse over the streamer to see more info about them!

Fixes
- Some of our new ranks past inheritor were out of order, we got those fixed up for you. Sowwies


Thanks,
Xorth

Top 10 Sigs of August



A video put together by EhhStudios and association with HaloReachSigs.com

By edge on 9/1/2011 7:37:42 AM - 2 comments


More Ranks And True Skill!

Two new features at HTR that we put a lot of work into!

First, we have another year of Halo: Reach before we can even think about Halo 4.  A lot of you are going to hit reclaimer, then what? Put the game away? Ya right.  So here at HTR, you will be able to keep achieving higher ranks!  



Secondly, some of you have one playlist, and you kick ass at it. You already got your 50, now what?  Well, we have created Grades for you!  

The only difference you will notice from Halo 3 is, you CAN lose your grade, if you lose a bunch of games.  But, if you're even close to this rank, losing is not on your schedule of things to do anyway.  

Here they are, good luck!



Shout out to the people who made this possible:

Blinkz, Night, and Edge for the graphics!
K0P Sanctus, Ativan for the Halo Naming Conventions

Thanks guys, hope you enjoy.  Ask your questions in the comment thread!

Todays update is, if you expand the playlist stats, you can see a few things. Your highest skill in that playlist, some recent history of Skill Changes, and a progress bar showing how far until you rank up.  Btw, that progress bar will regress if you lose =)

HaloTracker Presents 1-50 Skill Ranks!



HaloTracker has developed a new form of bragging rights for all you stat junkies. In addition to our already existing Arena divisions, HaloTracker now offers a level based system as well, one that resembles that of the Halo 2 and Halo 3 system. When you first collect your stats, you will be given a starting rank, from there you will progress up or down the structure depending on how you play. 

The formula mirrors Halo 3 in many ways, winning is the biggest factor and losing will drop your rank, we have also included some stats requisites that will sort out the best of the best. Im proud to say we have come up with the most accurate formula of any stats site to date, Enjoy!

All of these updates can be found on the In-Depth stats tab of your player page!

First up - Games By GameType/Playlist.  Ever want to see a list of your games by playlist? Now you can.  Just dial it up and scroll through it all!



This next stat is for fun:  This will list some of the bad kids you have encountered. You can filter it down by playlist, or overall, it will list the super negative KDs you have run into in matchmaking.  These could be your friends as well.  Use this for talking crap or making excuses for why you suck.

Credit Stats Upgrade

I added more stats to the Credit tab, because I know you guys love your credits. More to come as soon as I think of it, or request it here!

If you don't know where to find these stats, follow the red on your stat tabs!

By xorth on 7/13/2011 10:03:38 AM - 12 comments


Massive Stats Update

While reading this you may run out of breath, so be sure to take breaks.

Lets start with some updates:

First, we have added commendations to your stats. Check the Aggregate Stats tab!



Secondly, we will now start tracking your credits. If you come to HTR daily and update your stats, we'll watch you progress and keep track of your ranks!  Since this is a new feature, it will take a week or so of collections before it becomes interesting. We'll add more stats like "credits per day" and etc after we have some more data



Thirdly, Edge outdid himself with some data entry, coupled with my coding l33t skillz, and we now can track your progress on Halotracker Awards!! Check them out here!



Fourthly, We now tell you your site rank and how many people are eligible to be in that rank. So you can see how awesome/bad you are.



Also, Please note in the image above, Invasion stats were moved to the Competitive tab.  I needed more tab space, so they got combined!

If you are having trouble finding the credit and commendation stats, here is a little pointer:



Halotracker has the most stats of any Halo site in existence.  Why? Because of our community support through donations AND ideas.  Every single thing release today was requested by the community and fulfilled by myself and edge.

As I stated above, more is coming, but I wanted to get this stuff to you guys now.

Attention: Site Score Update

I have tweaked the Site Score.  Everyones Site Score has gone down, just because the amount of points for certain things went down. Everyone went down. Not just you. So don't fret.

This is an experiment to see if this is better.  If you have any issues, or you feel something is incorrect, please feel free to contact me.  Leave a message in the comments if you think this is a positive or negative change.

Remember, a formula is not perfect.  It's based on what it's creator (me) see's as skill. If you have input, contact me or leave a comment.

Thanks.

Division Leaderboards

Halotracker Site Score and Bungie Divisions for Arena are two very different formulas.  We look at your individual skill, while bungie has turned the formula into a Team Skill by focusing solely on your winning percent (and against who).  So we decided to make a leaderboard for their divisions.  Also, since we have HTR Competitive Divisions, I threw those in too.  

Check it out: Here  And find it in the leaderboard menu!

I'm back!

I wouldn't normally make a post about myself, but I just wanted to clarify some things. I was gone for a month, and basically did nothing on HTR, (barely even showed up), I was having my wedding and honeymoon abroad.

The site needs some TLC and it's going to get it.  I have a lot of ideas in the Feedback & Requests bar, I will go over those in the next week or so.  Unfortunately, while I was gone our collector started having issues.  I am going to fix that first.  But just letting everyone know, that the site is not abandoned, I was just gone on a short leave.

Good to be back!

Thanks,

New Medals

Rockets! from PAT2K9


Revised Medals
Our protector and yoink medals were impossible.  The top people barely had bronze.  I re-adjusted the levels to a more realistic level. If you were shooting for 2,000 protector medals in the next decade, my apologies.

Community Files Updates

Prophetic posts
These will act like the prophetic posts in the forums, when a file reaches a certain amount of credits it will become prophetic and the post will be highlighted red.



Comments
This will also act like in the forums, posting a comment on a file will bring this to the top of the page. So the most recently commented on files will be shown at the top.


Weapons Info

Aggregate Weapon Leaderboards have been reset, to make way for additional features. It will take a few days for everyone to collect their stats and repopulate the leaderboards, so enjoy your high rank for the time being. Screen shot it!

Weapon stats per Playlist are unchanged.

Staff Changes

Forerunners [Admins]
- We added Edge.  He was our 2nd moderator to join, and has been responsible for a lot of the things you see on HTR.  He does a lot of the graphics. Of course you can find him in the CB at almost any time, and he is always helpful.

He has provided every help guide on the site, and just has been there for anything we need. We felt like it was time he became an admin!

Sentinels [Mods]
- We would like to welcome cwinker to the team! He will our newest mod.  He has been an active member of the site for a long time, has been just part of the HTR messed up family that we have going on here.  It was time that he wore the green!

Please congratulate these guys for their promotions!

ugh. My bad
Windows Updates rebooted the server last night and I didn't know, so I didn't get the Advanced Game Collector back on until this afternoon. Sorry to those who tried to collect and it didn't work.

By xorth on 2/10/2011 1:32:17 PM - 3 comments


More Playlist Stats

I've had these stats the whole time, but no room to show you. So I found some space.  If you click on the Playlist name on your stats, it will drop down and show you more stats on that playlist.  Please note, that this new found room is going to bring you a crap load more stats. But for now, you just get a few.  Come back for more in a bit!  



Sunday News

- Added By Playlist Filter to Most Played With AND Best/Worst Play with.  

This was a great idea given to me by Night is Sick.

Thanks

Small Updates

On the Advanced Stats

- By Map / By Playlist : Added Avg Rating, Avg Spread, and Kills/Game.  
- I'm looking to make these full screen as there is a lot of data and it can't fit that nicely into the box.

Challenges
- As aways you can expect new challenges Monday morning!  Shout out to everyone who does them, we'll hit 1000 completed challenges today.   We just hit 500 completed challenges a couple weeks ago? You guys are tearing these up.

Donations
- Donations thread updated with the figures for January.  Spoiler Alert, you guys went above and beyond!

Profile Settings
- Added option to disable forum sigs when your reading threads, for those of you who don't like clutter or have slow internet.
- After adding that option there was just way too many options on the profile settings tab, so I tabbed it to split it up.  Hope it's not too confusing.

By xorth on 1/31/2011 9:08:10 AM - 3 comments


Longest Streak & Sorting

-New on your In-Depth Stats Tab you have a link to your Longest Streak, and you can see those games.

- I also adding table sorting to pretty much any table you would ever want to sort on the entire site.  Stats, Forums, Groups, etc.  I have noticed that the sorting script doesn't work well when I include ranks and stuff with the column stat.  I will fix this overtime, but I wanted to push the sorting out now as it's been needed for a long time. It works great on the advanced stats tables, you can sort all of those pretty well.

Enjoy,

Forum Credits for Community Files

In the past all we had was the rating system for community files, but in addition to that, you can receive forum credits for the content itself.

If someone rates you with a 4-star, you will receive ONE forum credit.
If someone rates you with a 5-star, you will receive TWO forum credits.

Less then 4, you get bupkus.

Have a great weekend =)

Donators get a Page

I am always looking for ways to reward our donators, but at the same time, I keep the site free, so I am limited.

That said, I wanted them to get some recognition.  So I made a special page for them. Here. Please note this is not a leaderboard.  This is a list of people who make this site possible. Being on this list means you are our top supporters, and your a small percent of our population that keeps this place up and running.

Thanks.

Small Updates

- Community Files small update: You can search by User id or click on a user id in the files list and get all of a persons files.  You could share your link like so xorths files.

- The above also exists in your profile page, under tab 'User Content' but the above link would be the fastest way to share your stuff.

- A couple of FF/Campaign stats were put onto the Reach stats page, on the bottom of the first tab.  The rest are coming soon.

- HTR News is now on the bottom box of the forums

- Added new HTR Friend, The National Gaming League

- Competitive Divisions tweaked. Also if you hover over your division, you will see your site percentile.  

- Min 30 games to be playlist ranked on your player page, this is due to people playing 1 game and being #1 on the K/d Leaderboards.

Happy New Year




From the staff here at Halotracker we wish all of our users a safe and happy holiday.  Take care of yourselves out there, and may 2011 be a great year for everyone!

By Jennie on 12/31/2010 2:16:21 PM - 2 comments


Happy New Year

HTR would like to extend a Happy New Year to everyone out there. Hope you enjoy our holiday site-headers.   Hope you all have a great night and be safe.

The Decemeber Site Donations has been released: HERE.  I try to be transparent as possible.  We are not here to post a profit, but we do have a very expensive server to run this site.  Currently the admins are sharing the costs.  I can never be sure how long we will do that, but for now, we are.

If you find it in your heart to donate a few bucks to us, that would be great.  It keeps our high-end server paid for, our 3.3 Terrabytes of bandwidth that we use to dish out all these stats.   It also keeps me interested, and I will continue to develop more and more stats and features.

In addition to feeling warm inside you get the following:
- A supporter medal on your player page.  Preview
- Gold Name in the chat box and forums [Min $5 donation]
- Access to custom emblems in the forum [Min $15 donation]

We DO NOT charge for stats.  
1) That is against microsoft and bungies terms of use.
2) We want everyone to enjoy our stats.

That said, just because you don't have to donate, doesn't mean we don't need it.

Thanks,

Happy New Year.

Major Site Tweak

A major tweak has been fixed in the Site Score and Site Rank part of the site.  People who were playing Arena more then Competitive/Invasion were suffering a massive point loss due to bungie deleting all old seasonal stats.  

The Site has been updated, and you will now get credit for ALL of your arena games in your Overall Site Score.  You will need to collect your stats for this to be reflected.

Also it will take the site a few days to get everybody updated.

Thanks!

Overall Halotracker Division

As you hopefully know, we give out "Arena" like divisions to Competitive playlists.  Well it was requested by ZombieHunter000 that we do overall divisions for everything.  



This will take into consideration your Arena, Competitive, and Invasion stats, and put you in an overall site percentile.  I haven't released the percentiles yet, just your rank. That will be here soon.  

Top 7%: Onyx
Top 15%: Gold
Top 30% Silver
Top 70%: Bronze
Then Steel for the rest.  Good luck!

Min 100 Games to be put in a division.

Updates for Dec 01/2010

- Arena Season 2 is being archived. Back on your player pages shortly.
- Arena Season 4 will now appear on your player pages
- Noble Team playlist will appear

I want to note in case there is confusion: The arena leaderboards are based on your Current Season AND Prior Season stats.  This is how I choose to go. Your overall Arena stats are on your player page.  My reason for this, every Season is different.  Sometimes you have radar, other times no radar. The Armor Abilities change every season. I'd like to have a more dynamic leaderboard to see who is best with the CURRENT Arena setup. I'm open to debate on this. Contact me.

Of course you can still see the leaderboards by individidual playlists on the Leaderboards page.  

If you have any comments about this, please contact me!

More is always on the way.  

Thanks

Profanity Censor

I rolled out today a profanity censor for the chat box. It is completely optional. Default setting is 'ON' which means all profanity will be removed and converted to 'bleep'.  You may disable the filter by a link above the main chat box in the forum.

This filter will also be applied to the forums.  The basic words have been included in the filter, and more will be added as we discover them.  I ask those with harsh language to not purposely trick the filter.

Thanks.

New Front Page!!

In the spirit of reach we decided to take the old design and throw it in the trash since we felt it was outdated with Halo Reach hitting shelves and a whole new era being ushered in.

It is quite a overhaul from the old design I hope you all enjoy.

This is just the beginning more to come soon and it will not disappoint I promise.

Reach Forged Maps: All of the maps from Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3

Reach is the newest and in my opinion the greatest. But if you ever feel the need to go back in time and play some of the old Halo CE, 2, and Halo 3 maps, Jennie has graciously uploaded them into one place where you can cherry pick the ones you want, perhaps for some customs fun!

Here is the link, hope you enjoy.

By xorth on 9/21/2010 12:49:20 PM - 1 comment


Add Your Forged Maps

As promised, you can now add your forged maps to the community files section of the site here..  All you do is key in some details, and the link to the map on bungie, and we'll take it from there. This is a great way to get your maps out to the community and not let it get lost in the millions of files on bungie.

On your map submission you may also include
-Links to the game types
-Screen shots of the map
-Video fly bys

Reach Update: Still no access to the Bungie Stats API. =( But I bet it's soon.

Reach Rendered Video

Bungie fixed their embedding of Reach videos. So you may now submit them to the Community Files or post them in the forum with the bbcode: [ bungiereach]FILEID[ /bungiereach].

If you're confused about the embed code, please check the help section of the site.

Community Montage Submissions Extended 2 Days!

I have taken the clips from Edgy in order to cap them with my HD cap card.

I am going to open the submissions for 2 or 3 more days to see if we can get any more clips to add to it so that we can send H3 out with a bang.

Some of our best moments from the game need to be captured in this montage so that we can remember the 3 years we spent playing the game we love.

Submit Clips Here:http://www.halotracker.com/Forums/ShowThread.aspx?ID=10738

Thank You, Blinkz

New broadcasters page!

We've always been proud of our justin.tv broadcasters, so we decided to give them a much needed update.

You can check out the new listing here. Each broadcaster will get an icon that is black and white when they are offline, and color when they are streaming. You can watch their stream, chat in their stream, and chat on halotracker!

As always, nothing is ever done. We will be adding even more stats to this page. Hope you enjoy.

Are you streamer? Want to be on our site? Contact xorth!. We're always looking for new video game streamers.

Congratulations Bishop!!

Bishop has joined me in helping code the site with Reach coming up.

He has already written thousands of lines of code that you all will be using here shortly. With his help, this site will have some incredible stats and features that you guys just won't believe.

So we have created this website role. It's called HTR Developer. And currently Bishop is the only one in this group.

Who knows what the future holds, but we're ready should we have more developers in the future. This position is honorary, and special.

This is a special status for people who code the site. Which is myself and bishop. Please give him a warm welcome and thank him for his time.

User Files!

For lack of a better name, I am calling this user files. Here, you can link up your bungie rendered videos, youtube videos, and any image. This tool is in it's infancy. It's barebones right now, but I am going to snazz it up a ton from now until reach. With Forge being hugely updated in Reach, this tool will also be where you can upload and show off your Forge maps. Exciting times! I hope you enjoy it, and while I'm snazzing it up, fire off a PM to me with suggestions.

Since you could already get your text messages by e-mail, having them go to text was only a small jump away. Enable this on your profile. If your carrier isn't listed, PM me and I will get them on the list. Thanks!

Rank Up Feature

There is a new site feature where you can find people to rank up with or play social with, it is here: Rank Up. This is not really for who is online playing right now, this is strictly for finding people with similiar goals, be it ranking up in a playlist, helping others rank up, or trying to get EXP in social. This feature is also perfect for boosters to find each other, which is why it will be heavily patrolled and if used in a bad way will lead to Leaderboard bans and Site bans. So play nice! Thanks!

By xorth on 7/9/2010 4:47:00 PM - 0 comments


Favorite Threads

I have added to the site, in the top right side of a thread, the +fav button. This will tag a thread as a favorite thread so you can find it more easily in the future. If you check under the Message Forum drop down menu, you'll see a link to your favorites. Hope you enjoy this feature. Thanks

A very productive Weekend

A lot of features on the site have been updated. To state a few: Cleaned up the forum threads, so you can PM, Quote, Credit, and report threads. Added search functionality over all of the forums or by a particular forum. Finished up the hammers code so we can now enforce a legit leaderboard. Very soon we'll post the rules of the leaderboards. Halo 3 weapon and medal leaderboards are complete. Look for the Reach very soon. I won't lie, we got a ton of new features that are coming up soon. I got about 3-4 ideas 75% done. So be sure to check back! Update: New bling up in the forums! Thanks to KOP Plague for the forum ranks, and Ativan, Smyf for the medals.
