Hey guys and gals,
First order of business, Brink Stats site now online. I registered my gamer tag to see how I've been doing on the Ark and to be honest I was a little confused and disappointed at the Brink stats page. It of course shows you how long you have played, most played class, most played gun, total xp, xp gained as each class, total kills, etc. Clan options are still not active and no update on when that will be released has been quoted yet. It was interesting to see which side, Security or Resistance, was in control of the playable regions of the Ark (the seven playable maps) for the day and week. Each week, the side with the most wins becomes that weeks winner. As far as I could tell, no gains are sown from such victory... Overall, a nice stats site; no real strategic purpose yet but as soon as clan options come out and players are able to play other clans in ladders and tournaments, it may become a much more utilized tool.
Battlefield 3- Exclusive! EA goes to Sweden and talks with the makers or the new Frostbite 2.0 engine and blows the minds of gamers all over the world. If any of you were skeptical of BF3 being better than MW3, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO. I don't need to argue anymore; Dice and EA are doing fine on their own.

COD: Modern Warfare 3- Call of Duty "Elite" has been announced today. To simplify what this new tool for COD [Black Ops, MW3, and future COD titles] players is, it will be a subscribe-able (yes, I said it) stat-logging, heat-mapping, clan-tracking, tourny-setting ability for those who chose to pay for the addendum to the franchise. If anyone is familiar with Halo's Bungie.net, it will be very7 similar but with some drastic upgrades. As I hinted at, it will have all the basics that video game stat sites allow their users to play with including total xp gained, time played, time with each gun, time played on each map, wins/losses, heat maps, etc. Also it will allow players to have meaningful clans, not just 4 letters next to each person's gamer tag. Clans will be allowed to play one another and host competitions, accomplish achievements, etc; do what clans should be doing. As for the average gamer, I do not think many people will opt to pay for such a service, unless the cost is considerably low and offers prizes or other benefits that would be worth the price. Below is a link to the G4 article explaining more in Call of Duty Elite!
