No mate - just having a friendy dig - I dont care too much for stats myself
only looked them up as they were posted here.
Congrats to anyone who can run and gun and survive in the lower Tiers.

Based on the tons of profiles and players I've seen, I'd say extremely rare, mainly because there is no payoff whatsoever for doing so in this game, unlike other games. The fact is that most people don't even know their detailed stats or even how all the categories are calculated. So that actually makes the stats more telling than in those games where people have an incentive to pad their stats in order to get something out of it (like leaderboard status). I think that's why I never see any suspicious stats like 99% accuracy ratings LOL. So IMO this game is a lot better in that regard than other games with combat statistics.

Another thing that I think is BRILLIANT is that the game doesn't display or even calculate a kill/death ratio (although technically the individual stats are there), unlike so many other shooters. That pretty much eliminates the silly stat boosters who cheat in order to get a 10,000-to-1 kill/death ratio.

I also agree that this game doesn't need and shouldn't have a leaderboard. The stats shouldn't be about competition, but instead about finding players that match your style.

Yeah, I don't expect it's more prevalent in a game like this compared to others and you would obviously have a better handle on this considering the multitude of profiles you've scoured.

How about those long distance kill shots though?

Here is where being a ghost really comes into play. The idea is actually being a ghost. Just like in the service, you don't know what's awaiting you around the corner so you have to be stealth like, careful. watchful. Special Force units all across the world deal with these type of conditions a lot. If you don't like it, don't play. For the rest of us, it's a challenge, for some not. That's what being a ghost is all about.

Haha, better than most.

The number of deaths is at the bottom under detailed statistics.

Thanks, forgot to expand the section, so I completely missed the whole block. Converting my playtime into minutes and then dividing it by the number of deaths is indeed my survivability (at least close enough).

I just got to tier 43 last night and the difficulty is already way above what I played to get to level 30. We'll see how it goes as I really want the HTI. Now I'm hearing mixed reviews. Oh well, its keeping me playing. I can't imagine what 30 and lower will feel like.

The difficulty swings to your favor once you reach Tier 40, the Desert HTI awaits you, and kills with such precision. 1 shot choppers, all choppers, 1 shot vehicles (except for armored takes 2-3). It's so much fun to use!

As for my stats:

Survivability: 19m11s
Tactical: 61%
Stealth kills: 73%
Precision: 22.50%

I know how I play, but based on those stats how do you think I play?

My stats have taken a nose dive with Tier 1 especially with survivability and doing lots of convoy missions to rank my HTI up.

Survivability: 14m21s
Tactical: 43%
Stealth kills: 64%
Precision: 24.05%

Never gave it much thought. Aren't those legitimate? I mean, I've heard that for the longest ones people are doing it from a hovering chopper, which is a pretty cartoonish notion, but they are still making the shot (as unrealistic as it may be).

It's too good though. It reminds me of GRAW2 PvP when half the players were running around with the same .50 cal. I hate when one gun is so godly that it makes half the players into cliches.... virtual copies of one another.

Let's see... ghillie suit, cigar, cowboy hat, arm tattoos, Desert HTI...

It's like an army of clones out there. LMAO

My hope is Ubi leaves it alone as its perfect to Tier play. I could give a rats you know what if its avail or not for PvP when it comes, just leave it alone for Tier mode.

GRAW2, ahhh, brings back memories. Pistols only is what we'd do on the small maps, tons of fun.

My stats have taken a massive dive since season challenges started. But i don't really care since the only stat I care about is the Average Kill distance - 109m. So long as that stays above 100m I'm all good but I am a bit disappointed that my accuracy has taken a 10% drop over the last couple of months from all the random firing of the AUG to attract enemies.

I like Tier One mode <@ in combination with the weekly challenges, there's currently *some* reason to play. I'm just currently confused by the damage upgrades system.
