A better April Fool's would have been to plaster "Combat Tour Released!!" on the headlines, then in tiny size 1 font "April Fool's!"

Sounds about right, April Fools... :O

But with all seriousness, Why even have scores, if they aren't correct?
Squad Rankings have been screwed up for months (ever since the re-format of the pages) but yet HTC still refuses to admit anything is wrong with them. Want me to ellaborate? Just ask.

That's odd, the last time I talked to Skuzzy he quite openly admitted banging his head on the wall trying to come up with a better way.  I offered to help, but apparently he is quite capable of banging his own head without assistance.

Scores and rankings, will mean NOTHING until HTC. Makes it so you can type players name,And see who he or she has killed all tod. Now you have to catch person Killing a shades account  by being there while they are killing it.
should be able to type kills for  xxxxxx   and it list every single player they kill entire TODand how many times . Then you can go to player vrs player  and see what they are fighting in.


Then and only then will people believe who is honest and who is killing shade or friend to score.

Devils advocate - Doesn't ranking give some guys (top 30 lets say) give the incentive to compete?  If there was no rank, there could have been people quiting this game earlier and for good.

April Fools....

Please don't be too angry with HTC....

I did radio for 24 years, and April Fools Day is the Purim of broadcasting.

One April 1st...told people that the B2 Stealth Bomber was at the local airport (it luckily was a very foggy morning).  Over 3,000 people, double parked minivans, video cameras & kids in tow showed up.  Multiple calls from the FAA to complain.  

Ya CAN'T see the stealth bomber cuz it's invisable...right?

WTG HTC....it's awesome to see that you guys still have a sense of humor in Grapevine!

Wow people really look at the scores??? Last time I looked at mine was over a year ago, when a squaddie told me I was in the top 500. I thought OK cool, but other than that scores mean nothing. Never have, never will. Being number 1 in this game won't even get you a cup coffee so who cares??

But it was a good April fools joke by HTC.

Hmmm...sounds like you ripped off Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw's famous Space Shuttle April Fool's Joke from about 15 years ago which is ranked as the #32 all time April Fool's prank.  One would have thought that a joke that brought out 3,000 people and massive complaints to the FAA would be listed, unless of course your story is the April Fool's joke.

Top 100 April Fool's Pranks (http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/aprilfool/index)

#32: Space Shuttle Lands in San Diego
In 1993 Dave Rickards, a deejay at KGB-FM in San Diego, announced that the space shuttle Discovery had been diverted from Edwards Air Force Base and would instead soon be landing at Montgomery Field, a small airport located in the middle of a residential area just outside of San Diego. Thousands of commuters immediately headed towards the landing site, causing enormous traffic jams that lasted for almost an hour. Police eventually had to be called in to clear the traffic. People arrived at the airport armed with cameras, camcorders, and even folding chairs. Reportedly the crowd swelled to over 1,000 people. Of course, the shuttle never landed. In fact, the Montgomery Field airport would have been far too small for the shuttle to even consider landing there. Moreover, there wasn't even a shuttle in orbit at the time. The police were not amused by the prank. They announced that they would be billing the radio station for the cost of forcing officers to direct the traffic.
