today
announced
the launch
of

a new online
community
and ranking
system for

of popular
online

including
EA's
Battlefield
2, Capcom's
Lost Planet:
Extreme
Condition,

comprehensive
data and
statistics
available on
their own
gameplay,
allowing
gamers to
prove once
and for all
how they
stack up
against the
best players
in the
world.
"Whether you
are playing
a simple,
casual game
or a really
immersive
first person
shooter,
everyone
wants to
know where
they rank,"
said Lance
Smith, CEO
of
GameStrata.
"You may be
surprised to
see your
stats, but
you will
likely be
even more
surprised to
see how you
stack up
against your
friends!"
GameStrata
members can
use the
site's broad
array of
game-tracking
tools to
analyze
their own
skills, and
share their
stats with
friends and
competitors.
More than
just keeping
score, the
extensive
data
analyses of
GameStrata
track every
aspect of
the game,
providing
statistics
for
accuracy, a
user's
favorite
weapon,
kills scored
on specific
classes, and
more. Users
can proudly
display
their
rankings in
an overall
profile,
listed on a
public "MyStrata"
page for all
to see.
Gamers can
also add
select stats
and
achievements
on other
social
networks,
throwing
down the
gauntlet to
their fellow
gamers and
friends on
sites such
as Facebook.
Members will
be able to
bring their
entire guild
or clan on
board,
building a
clan site
within
GameStrata
for any or
all of their
games,
arranging
new matches
with rival
groups, and
keeping
track of
their
friends'
latest
accomplishments
with a daily
clan news
feed. In
addition,
GameStrata
will
integrate
users'
profiles
with their
achievements
in existing
third-party
award
systems,
including
Xbox Live
Achievements.
Allowing
gamers to
come
together
with rich
community
features,
forums,
user-provided
game tips
and advice,
GameStrata's
unique
offerings
will enhance
the game
experience
for several
top-tier
online
titles.
