skill calculation???

[kornkob]

First you'd have to try and define what a 'skilled player' is. Then you'd have to break down what the specific attributes of a skilled player are. Then you'd have to determine whether the stats that are collected are capable of reflecting the skills.

Wow...4900 grenade launcher kills and 44 hours used with. No comment.
Also, 87 hours on Karkand, 9 on Mashtuur and not more than 6 on any other. There's a lesson here, kids.

I think SPM is a more telling stat than K/D.
There are too many variables involved in how K/D's come about: Air/Ground Vehicle lovers, commanders, the self-sacrificing medics and engy's(w00t for the medics like me), etc.

What we need is some complex formula that takes up 3 chalkboards like the one they use for NFL QB rating to determine your "BF2 Skill Rating"

I would say score per minute is a pretty good indicator, otherwise maybe even the win/loss ratio is because that would factor in the teamwork somewhat.

i know most people ( including me) feel that their really isnt a way to calculate an accurate representation of skill in bf2. mostly becuase the higher your are the more u have played and that some people argue this doesnt make a better player, it simply makes a player who plays alot, therefore rank doesnt show a sense of skill.

Therefore, i was wondering what you all would say would be the closest thing to accrautely representing a players "skill" ? points per hour? points per round? i usually look at a players points per hour played ratio to determine how EFFECTIVE a player is. then look to see if this is skewed by tank whoring or bhawk whoring and such. Just looking for opinions, since its said alot on there forums that rank doesnt = skill.

You wanna add noobnader who plays Kark exclusively to that m8.

Since work is mad boring I'm going to work on this BF2 Skill Formula

The criteria I'm thinking of including are:
Time Played
K/D
K/min
SPM
T-score/min
Combat Score/Team Score
Teamkills, Team Damage
Urban Map time/Total Time
Vehicle Kills/Total Kills
Commander Pts/Commander Time
Flag Captures+Assists/Total Time

My hope is that I can make it in such a way that an average score is 100, and then make a bell curve. Should make for a controversial and interesting project.

LOL noob nading isnt the same as vehicle whoring. your going to equate nade launcher to full bhawk or a tank?!?! really!??! its cheap ya, its whoring, errr well ya but its not like vehicles where it takes 1000 damage points and your imune to small arms. at least as assault your still an infantry man prone to being killed. there is a difference.

o ya and your veering off topic....

K/D -Armor/Aircraft Whoring.

Most of my friends have a negative K/D ratio. I guess someone has to.

[ZapStarfighter]

Well, I have a beta version of my skill calculator at the moment.
Mine came out to be 124.22, I put in what I felt to be average stats and got 100.38.

I'm sure if I put in some others stats on here it would be much higher. Feel free to post here if you want me to try yours out, and give me a link to a working and up to date stats site and I'll punch the data into Excel.

[Cotizi]

awesome idea. did u use the same system that u outlined in your earlier post?

[ZapStarfighter]

Yeah, more or less. Bf2s.com isn't updating, I can do yours if you want but I need to see all of your current stats(some of the criteria are fairly specific). I'll save posting the formula itself until I get it more fine-tuned.

[Cotizi]

sure i guess. bf2s is way outta date try bf2tracker or another site. lemme know what u need, im at work so i cant access the real in game sheet.

[Cotizi]

also, id like to see your forumla. pm it to me if u want or i can just wait till you post it. whatever u want :)

Kills per death is probably the most accurate way of telling how skilled a person is, so your probably pretty skilled.

unless you're a mini-gunner on a bh and you and your engineer friends always team up.

i mean, you'll probably get 20 something kills and die only about 5 times. still and indication of a players' skill???

[ZapStarfighter]

Well, I can't find any stats sites that are functioning, so I'll go by what's in your sig, the old data on bf2s.com and fudge the rest.

EDIT: got information off of got3n.com, only thing I didn't get was teamkilling info, so I had to project it. I got 191.58. You > me.

[ZapStarfighter]

This will blow your mind...exp.Elektric only rates out at 202.77. So, Cotizi, you're nearly as good as the current stat leader, but you haven't played as much. 'Grats!
