Personally I don't really see the value in comparisons of these primitive statistics like rate of fire/reload time. At a high level everything becomes so highly dimensional that any analysis on this level falls short compared to intuition.

This looks really great, and shows a lot of polish in its interface. I liked how you had different preset ways of filtering the data (SMGs, Rifles, etc), as well as linkable results pages. Being able to select armor and hit-locations seems to just be a scaling factor, but also was a neat touch. I think there might be some value in adding a duration slider (as an alternative to shot count). Because most items you're c…
Seconded. I've played CS casually for almost two decades now and, although I specific details have changed over time, I never really knew the specifics about how each weapon effected you. For instance, I've always considered the SG553 to be just a less accurate version of the AUG (without actual evidence), but it actually inflicts higher damage and also slows you down a bit. Cool site.
I imagine what would totally sell me on it is interactivity with a live game. Imagine if you could hook into the game and show live data on the last kill, where you hit him, how much damage you inflicted and why. Would be really cool, but probably not allowed without getting banned.
They show that data and you can practise there.

Having cost selection is a fantastic idea, especially given the commonly used terminology in the game lends itself nicely ("Eco buy" etc).
Your comment on duration hints at something that I have felt but not articulated in my notes so that was very helpful. Like you mentioned, this is particularly relevant in the SMG category because the amount of rounds they fire in an average engagement is that much higher and the disparity between their rate of fire is greater (the MP9/P90 are in a league of their own in particular).
Lastly, cheers for your other kind words! :)

No surprise that Bungie made revolutionary games with Halo (series) and Destiny. Halo 1 was the basis of FPS on the console and Halo 2 was the basis for Xbox live
It's unfortunate that even today it is impossible to play without hearing 4chan racial slurs for the lulz. Very toxic community.
Other than that, I love how you don't just compare raw values, but have the ability to select armor/range/etc. That's something I see missing in a lot of similar "comparison" applications.

Cue "SG was overpowered for five years and nobody noticed" (because real CS players use the AK, not the "cod noob gun").

The charts don't help me learn anything about the data more than the table, and the stats like RPM or deploy milliseconds mean nothing to me. If you ask CS players how they learn timing, it's usually mouse tapping a rhythm from some song.
The key takeaway is that you need creative ways to actually help me understand which weapon to pick in which situation.
Really well done! Playing around with it a little, the only thing I noticed was it was difficult to see which color meant "better" when comparing values. Maybe add a little checkmark or something if one stat is higher? Other than that, I love how you don't just compare raw values, but have the ability to select armor/range/etc. That's something I see missing in a lot of similar "comparison" applications.
