So good news for Halo Wars fans, all the flaming on the Halo Wars forums has paid off as 343 Studios has decided not to abolish the stat tracking for online play. Previously they announced that on December 15th, as part of a title update that they would remove online ranking. However they posted now all that will take place is an update to the theater mode and that this is not a delay of the inevitable and there is no longer any plan to get rid of stat tracking.

However, on December 15th there will be the merger from Halo Wars.com forums to the new forums at Halo waypoint.com, which should be quite hilarious and full of vulgar remarks.
