: Here . Slide 49. This slide shows that, overall, players dropped out of
: ranked playlists at the milestones to the new class of overall military
: ranks. At 20, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50. The number of players with a HS of 50
: appears to be DOUBLE that of those with a 49. If bleed-out didn't happen
: that curve should be fairly smooth, and should probably look more like the
: graph on slide 24.

: The entire thing is a great read full of fascinating tidbits - I would have
: loved to have seen the presentation done live.

This is by far one of the most awesome things I've ever looked at. Thank you so much for pointing this out to me. Wow. There's this nagging bit of me that's reading through this and seeing and understanding why so many things with H4 are wrong, but I've pretty much blocked all this out now because of just how nifty this is in figuring out so many things when looking back at all the years I played H2 and H3. No kidding about seeing the presentation done live, sheesh, if only.

: CSR in Halo 4 will only be viewable through Waypoint on the web, mobile and
: 360. It is specifically NOT viewable in-game because they're super-afraid
: of boosting and account selling. Of course, that move simultaneously
: sabotages the incentive for all the legit players too...

Well I was just all sorts of wrong about this. Features for a game that are not in the game. I may not like Arena or how it was handled, but at least it put something in the game and tried. CSR doesn't know what it wants to be apparently. Well, that's not true either. I guess it wants to be in the background until it gets reset.
