Stat Request: Raw SPM

[AngrySquid270]

I would like to have a stat that calculates raw SPM.

Raw SPM would ignore points earned from bonuses, awards and unlocks.

I feel that the current SPM stat gets distorted too much by medals. This inflates the SPM stat of people with lots of playtime.

Here is an example:
==================================

Xbox360 Player: L4MBORGH1N1

SPM: 709

Total Score: 17537100
-Award Score: 10652000
-Unlock Score: 153400
-Bonus Score: 280960

Raw Score: 6450740
Minutes Played: 24711

Raw SPM: 261


Compare that to this fellow.....

Xbox360 Player: YOUSX

SPM: 604

Total Score: 11663720
-Award Score: 757400
-Unlock Score: 50600
-Bonus Score: 37340

Raw Score: 818380
Minutes Played: 2752

Raw SPM: 297

=======================================


At first glance it would seem the 709SPM player is a better scorer than the 604SPM player. However once you ignore points awarded for actions that don't benefit the team the second player is actually the better scorer where it counts; in-game.

Love the site; thanks for reading.

Maybe the "BattleField Rating" is something more interresting, since it calculates how well you do as a teamplayer based on more then your SPM (or Raw SPM).

The battlefield rating is indeed useful (but also not on bf3stats), but enabling Raw SPM would allow people an additional view of their improvement over time. Adding Raw SPM to the History tab would give a more accurate representation of how someone is improving.
