Details on Xbox Live TrueSkill Ranking System-- Posted by XanTium on November 8 23:25 EST
Microsoft released a paper with information about the way that gamers will be ranked on the new Xbox Live:

The TrueSkill ranking system is a skill-based ranking system designed to overcome the limitations of existing ranking systems, and to ensure that interesting matches can be reliably arranged within a league. It uses a technique called Bayesian inference for ranking players. Rather than assuming a single fixed skill for each player, the system characterises its belief using a bell-curve belief distribution (also referred to as Gaussian) which is uniquely described by its mean [mju:] ("peak point") and standard deviation [sigma] ("spread").

Am I really the only one that's iffy about MS keeping stats on everything I'm doing with my 360? I mean, they've said that they're not only going to keep tabs on how well I play something, they'll also collect information about what I play and watch on there. Sounds like a big spyware "scandal" is about to hit the web, unless of course I can opt to turn all that stuff off without surrendering the online capabilities.

In PGR3, you see them in the lobby before a race. It cycles the player's name, true skill and car.

Is there anyway to see these stats in Call of Duty 2?  I've played numerous Ranked games, and have yet to see any of my stats
