As part of its latest weekly update, Bungie has announced the launch of Heatmaps, a new way of displaying kill and death data to Halo 3 players.
“Heatmaps are the Doppler Radar System of Death in Halo 3. We’re tracking encounters, weapons used and their results in a given game, collecting that data and sharing it with players visually. The key here is “the darker the red, the more frequent the deaths (or kills, depending on the parameters),” explained Bungie’s Luke Smith.
This new feature is available on Bungie.net via your Career Stats page, where you can view Heatmaps for each of the Halo 3 maps, with a wealth of filtering options to give you the info you want to see.
The Heatmaps feature is currently only in beta form though. This means Bungie is “only processing roughly half of the information right now,” with plans to increase the processed information “once the feature leaves this beta phase“.
