Global Rank

[Fliperaci]

I think they should have separate ranking per gametype.

That would be nice!
Also would it be nice not to seperate pure from custom stats!?
imo that makes no sense if theres a mutator or not...
But for me its easy because I am just on custom servers...

Edit:

the main thing i keep an eye on is the ELO rating.

There are many discussions about the ELO Rating. I prefer more my own progress. Like to see destroyed cores, weapon and vehicles stats, et cetera...

also bare in mind there are quite a few players using aimbots that will jump them up the table, and until there is a decent anticheat protection built in the ranking system is pretty worthless except for giving you an idea of your own progress. but expect it to fluctuate alot. the main thing i keep an eye on is the ELO rating.

I do agree with all that was said before,
but still it would be great if Epic could find a way to show this number of players.

It existed in UT2003 and UT2004 so they obviously know how to do it ;-)

About the rank out of total number being not so relevant, may I remind you about the stats for UT2k3 & 4 ?
we had alltime rank AND mothly / weekly ranks which was a way to get a more accurate ranking (i.e. counting only active players)

But then the total of last week/month players should be shown : Then we will have a perfect progress-o-meter ^^

having fun is #1 the ranking thing is really hard to gauge too - if you search around the forums youll find alot of discussions about it and how it works (or doesnt)...

people can create several accounts, so the number won't say much.

Ive seen people ranked in the 200000, or was it 20000...

Put it this way, alot of people.

All players means every single player that ever played online on a "pure" server so that his stats got tracked. Roughly more than 100000 people/profiles.

I went ta Enemy Down and looked up my Global Rank, an it said,"This is the global rank out of ALL Unreal Tournament 3 players." I have too much shame ta post what my ranking is but still...., My question is how many is "all unreal tournament players"? I couldn't find where it said how many total players this ranking applies to.
