• Title: Halo5Arena
• Link: http://halo5arena.com
• Platforms: Web
• Description: Player and Match Statistics for Halo 5 Arena gamemodes.
• Goals: Share Halo Data! The website concentrates on the Arena gamemodes giving detailed information on playlist/weapon/medal stats and includes players last 25 games to show the current performance and get a quick overview of each player. Match Result statistics are presented in a comparable way and include Damage and CSR stats.
  A player-compare feature was integrated as well to have an easy opportunity to compare data.
  Additionally (for fun aspect) the website generates recent user highlights from looking up players/matches but also tracks data to show weapon usage by CSR for example. Last but not least i tried to make the site work well for smaller devices as well.

• Title: Halo Data Hive
• Link: http://halodatahive.com
• Platforms: Web/ Responsive design (for the most part) works well on phones too
• Description: Professional Player, Team Scrim and Match Statistics.
• Goals: My main goal was to try and provide a place were people could visit and see how their favourite or most disliked pro teams were doing. I hoped that it would help generate more interest in competitive Halo and help the community grow. I plan to give more match level detail as well as general overall statistics in the near future.

• Title: Arena Stats for Halo 5
• Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id1071676473
• Platforms: iOS (iPhone w/ iOS 9.0+)
• Description: Arena Stats for Halo 5 puts all of your Halo 5 Guardians game play statistics in the palm of your hand. Track your multiplayer arena stats, such as weapon accuracy, kills and deaths, medals, rankings, and more. Keep a list of your friends and competitors and see how you stack up against them!
• Goals: I had two goals in mind when crating this app.

1. Ability to back up your boasting amongst friends and co-workers. “Oh, you think you totally own with the Magnum? - looks like you’re only shooting with 19% accuracy! Smack down!”.
2. Shows stats that could be used to help improve your game play (damage per second/per weapon for example). It isn’t quite to where I envision but it’s a start.
It was also a LOT of fun building this! Cheers to Microsoft and 343i for opening up this data to the public - I hope other studios follow this example. Feedback always welcome!

• Title: Halo 5 Stat Tracker
• Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/halo-5-stat-tracker/id1086815566?mt=8
• Platforms: iOS
• Description: Halo 5 stat tracking for Arena and Warzone. You can view general stats for Arena and Warzone, and also within Arena see current season playlist ranks and stats for that playlist. Both also include weapon stats for that game type. In addition, you can click on recent games for both Arena and Warzone and see specific games and also see specific player stats including general stats like kills, deaths, assists, time played, average lifetime, etc. to also seeing medals, tool of destruction, and the player you killed most and the player that killed you the most. You can set a default gamertag in the settings so that when the app opens it opens a specific gamertag's stats.
• Goals: Easily view your Halo 5 stats on your iOS device and specifically the ability to view stats that people really want to see like the post-game carnage medals for players. The app follows Apple's iOS guidelines so it is easy for a user to navigate through the app and know where things are.

Nice to see all these great projects. I fully admit that I'm not part of the Halo community, but was interested in this API nonetheless, and have been using it for a rather different purpose: to create a musical instrument. The project is still in development, but thought people may find it interesting.

Title: Symphony of Death
Link: http://mattbierner.github.io/Symphony-of-Death/
Platforms: Web
Description: Translating Halo 5 match events into an interactive musical instrument using WebGL and Web Audio.
Goals: The first one of these experiments is called Chordophone ( http://mattbierner.github.io/Symphony-of-Death/chordophone ). It maps out each kill as a vibrating string between the killer and victim in 3D space. You strum the strings to play the instrument. Longer strings (longer kill distances) are lower pitched, while shorter strings are higher pitched. For the audio, there's a few different oscillators to try out, plus a large selection of Midi instruments to play around with.

I plan on doing one or two more experiments in this area as well. Any feedback, suggestions, or contributions are always welcome, the project is open source: https://github.com/mattbierner/Symphony-of-Death

(PS, I work for Microsoft, but not in Xbox or 343. This was an entirely personal project and I won't be submitting it to the hackathon)

• Title : Halo.fr
• Link : http://www.halo.fr/stats/
• Platforms : Web
• Description : A work-in-progress dedicated section on Halo.fr which provides detailed statistics for the french-speaking Halo community.
• Goals :

1. Ability to see the player’s progression since the first season of Halo 5’s Arena.
2. Spreading of game sessions, per type.
3. Spreading of game sessions, per time played.
4. Summarize the most interesting informations for a player in one page.
5. Search for detailed statistics of other gamertags.

• I wanted everyone to be able to easily and automatically view their latest data in a nice format, which is why I built this as a mobile compatible website. Realising what the community wanted, my next goal was for my first iOS, Android and Windows apps.
• I wanted to break down the game and pull out useful information in an easily readable format: MVP, fun facts, commendations, specific kill some and assists, timelines, and heatmaps.
• Thanks to the Hackathon, I was provided the data for something I've always wished was part of the game, heatmaps. So my goal was to build my own no matter what. Turns out this included manually plotting the maps with my player character and the in-game coordinates (<3 Machinema Mode) on a 1:10 replica in my first ever Photoshop project. My goal was to have lines or points, and to have this viewable on every device.
• My goal for having everything easily accessible in the one place also included LFG, so I did my best to create a Halo-specific LFG feature so players could play and team up with others.
• Once I had a proper setup, I wanted more features in the one place. So my next goal was Service Record. I broke this down into seasons and then playlists for Arena, I also included Warzone and then your Medal Chart (filtered appropriately by Arena and Warzone). This grew at the request of my users by having an aggregate games feature, including a Custom Games (useful for my own scrims)
• My final goal has been global heatmaps - something I've wanted to achieve for a while. I wanted users to see map data so they could learn the best and worst positions based on different maps, weapons and gametypes.
