Although I was initially impressed by the detailed recording of stats when BF2 first came on the scene I've come to notice that there are several stats missing that would be extremely informative, not to mention interesting.
The largest item on my list is the ability to record what unit types a player has killed.
Sure, there's stats that record the number of kills and deaths a player has had with a particular weapon, kit, or vehicle, but there's no stat that records how many of a particular unit type a player has killed. It'd be nice to see how many armored vehicles, humvees, transport helicopters, attack helicopters, jets, buggies, and AA vehicles a player has killed in addition to infantry.
Basically, there'd be a stat for each vehicle and infantry kit. Looking at playerX for example you might see that he has killed 2,432 tanks, 1208 transport helis, 304 attack helis, 431 jets, 2014 sniper infantry units, 527 AT infantry units, etc.
This would be very informative for determining a player's play style. If a player only has a KD of 1.5 for example but the majority of their kills are vehicles such as tanks and helicopters, then it definitely will indicate that they're a better player than their stats would otherwise portray them to be. It'd also be fun to see what you're best at killing. For example, if you're a sniper wouldn't you like to see that a large portion of your kills are other snipers?
Another stat that I thought would be informative is the number of accidental deaths that can be attributed to jumping from a building and not having your parachute deploy in time, or running down the stairs to fast with only one bar of health and dying at the bottom. It'd also be interesting to see how many times you've been team killed.
Anyway, I wanted to ask the rest of the community what stats they think should be included that aren't in BF2. I know it's too late to have anything done about it, but it'd be fun to see what thoughts are floating around.
