Right now hive/ns2 stats are a bit underwhelming.
What about saving the game logs into a notepad file if a certain user has localsaves enabled on ns2+? It will not only save the console logs from the match into a notepad text file, but maybe another option with ns2+ that saves data like how your aim was for each minute of the round, how your accuracy was when targets where within a certain range and further away, and stuff like that. It wouldn't be saved server side for now, but it would give us a basis to build on later.
Maybe in the future, there would be a sort character profile like dota 2 has, with most successful heroes. In ns2, it would just find in what ways you perform most above the average. So if a new user started up the game, played gorge, but got shit on, he could still go to his character page and it would say "this user prefers playing as an aggressive, risk taking gorge!
His spit accuracy (with a total of four spits ever fired) is at 75%, 3 standard deviations above the average gorge player!
He is a brave gorge player, remaining below 50 for 8 minutes straight without healing himself once!
He once helped his team take down goldens shotgun marine in a pub!(one of his hydras hit him and he got an assist)
then eventually it would have charts showing how he hs improved in ns2, how well he is playing with certain items compared to users who have similar hours, stuff like that. Just stuff that makes new users feel awesome and significant, and something to post on forums to show off.
so instead of a player joining ns2 and getting shit on and leaving, they feel some sort of exclusivity and see that something is benchmarking their improvement, and his achievements would become more impressive as he played more.
I feel just starting out by tracking random, seemingly inane sets of data in ns2+ and saving them locally would give us ideas of creative things to track in games that would make these profiles interesting and help new users remain interested in the game.
