CoD MW2 Map Probabilities - Taking Stats
« on: June 19, 2010, 11:44:38 pm »
Since the Stimulus package became available, I've noticed that new map packs get a huge boost in the number of plays.  The new Resurgence pack doesn't break that trend.

I'd like to know if anyone else is interested in helping me by counting up the number of times they play a certain map.

If so, there are rules to abide by:

1.  Only Team Deathmatch games-TDM, Mercenary TDM, TDM Express (It seems those types are all the same regarding probabilities.  Do NOT count Hardcore TDM.  I don't play it, so I don't know if the probabilities are the same.)  No other gametypes should be used.  Some gametypes exclude certain maps from rotation.  i.e.  Demolition isn't played on Wasteland(or something) while apparently FFAs aren't played on Derail (based on a random post I found-can't confirm)  Also, other gametypes may have different probabilities, which is the main reason to keep gametypes similar in this study.
2.  Only count games where you've played the entire match, from the very start (first tick off the clock) to finish.  Do not count games that you joined that were already underway, even if only a few seconds have ticked off the clock.*
  *If the game is cut short by connection issues either for you or the entire lobby, go ahead and count it (assuming you were playing when it started).  The important thing is that the map was actually chosen and started.  If you choose to leave the game for any reason, do not count it.  (I could make stipulations to count it, but I'm trying to keep it simple.  Also, leaving then rejoining may even get you in the same game you just left.  This rule helps avoid accidental double tallies.)
3.  Do not count maps that are skipped by vote.  It wasn't started, so it doesn't count.  (Besides, this helps.  If people tend to skip certain maps alot, it'll show in the data with the appropriate lower numbers.)
4.  Only participate if you have all available map packs.  PS3 owners need to wait until they get the new pack.

Any data, please PM it to me.  I'll try to keep a running tab in this thread if people are interested.  I found a similar set of data on the net already, but it was before the map packs came out, and was small in data.

Thanks to any who help.
