I partially agree. Where I don't agree is that you have numerous baselines already and providing some form of 1 to 1 pixel ratio to align with in game distances would be nigh useless.

And I agree with you as well...to a point. The problem comes with different weapons that all use the same bar. Take the Acrius range stat and take any sniper range stat for example. Absolutely no correlation at all. Saying +10, has extremely different results depending on the weapon. +10 on a scout could be 60 feet (just for arguments sake), and on a shotgun it could be 3 inches. The stat bars are practically useless, and saying "+10" could be equally useless. My point, without getting too long winded, is about making stat bars uniform between all weapons, and having a set constant number between them.

Good point. I've often wondered if it was specific to weapon class. I.E. snipers have (for the sake of discussion) 1000m max range. (again, this is a made up # for sake of discussion) Now let's say shotguns have 100m max range. Now a shotgun with 7 range is effective to 70 before damage drop-off. A sniper with 7 range is effective to 700 before damage drop-off. That's how i've always looked at it, but now that i'm speaking it out loud I can clearly see how such may be a highly flawed approach.

Exactly! That's my point, saying "+10" or "+5", becomes almost useless if you don't have a base line. Take the range stat for example, all weapons should use the same stat, and fall somewhere in its range. You could actually see where a certain weapon falls in with another. I know it's apples and oranges, but Battlefield does a great job of this, you know exactly what value (and how much) you're increasing or decreasing it.

You just point and shoot it's not that complicated.. If you wanna get all technical with the game and adding information to it, you can go back to playing ff.
