These are some important stats you should remember the next time you're burning up time glossing over your stats on Call of Duty:
1 - The number of girls you're going to pick up by impressing them with your COD stats: 0
Sorry, the pick up line, "Hey babe, I've got a 2.53 KDR....so wanna cut out for a night cap at my place?" isn't going to get you any!
2 - The number of Universities currently offering scholarships for achievements on Call of Duty: 0
If anyone sees a space on a college application for W/L % or KDR on COD please let me know!
3 - Job interviews you're going to nail and jobs you're going to land due in part to your impressive COD stats: 0
Nope, you'll never hear the phrase, "You'll need to be good with MS Excel spreadsheets....and even better with a KAP-40!"
4 - The amount of dollars/pounds/euros you're going to earn based on your COD stats and/or achievements: 0
Yes, I'm aware some of those MLG D-Bags have made some bucks.....but don't kid yourself....you are not them (that's a good thing actually).
5 - The percent you increase your chances of getting approved for that loan you badly need by impressing the lender with COD stats : 0%
"Yeah, I know I've declared bankruptcy 3 times.....but I got 65 kills on Hijacked last night!" - Good try, but it's of no real use.
6 - The number of game developers that monitor these forums to gauge just how well their product is doing: 0
Hell, for that matter I don't even know why I bother to post anything on here myself - I don't even play the game anymore. Killing time I guess?
In all honesty, I think I enjoyed COD the most for that brief week or two when I first played MW2 multi-player and had no concept of what the stats really meant. I really did focus and stick with every match, I played every map and I improved and learned rapidly as a result. I enjoyed the game for what it was every game. Then slowly I became conscientious of what the stats meant and for reasons that shall remain a mystery to me I paid more and more attention to them. Sometimes I think this game would be better if it didn't tally up all these dumb useless stats that are of no value in real life.
