I really dislike stats, especially in games like this where challenges kind of force or persuade you to play a certain way.

I know you do, I guess it just depends on the type of player you are. I enjoy stats as a fun way to keep track of your progress and something cool to check every now and again to show off how many times you've completed certain acts. I could see how they could be a problem though, its the same reason I'm glad this game doesn't keep any leaderboards because they always lead to cheating.

Stats in a game like this are meaningless and misleading. They are not a true indication of how good one is. One can easily sit in G&G and do nothing but sit on the zombie team and camp from a distance making themself look better than they actually are. When you have challenges telling people to play one way and you have a game type in which you're "supposed to play" a certain way... and people don't play that way... it skews the stats.

I do enjoy stats when they actually reflect how good I am and they separate themself according to game type... but I'm old school. I started out with Starsiege Tribes, Quake, and Half-Life, where they only showed kills, "skill" wasn't based on k/d ratios, and teamplay was all about throwing yourself out there to sacrifice yourself to save an objective..
