    With Left 4 Dead they tracked the players stats through the campaign and gave them a great summary in the "credits". Alien Swarm takes that idea a step further and starts to show off what will likely be coming in future titles from Valve. The ability to watch your stats in a mini-map type mode that shows your location through the game is simply a great addition. The feature reminds me of what bungie did with halo multiplayer, but taken to the next level. I feel this system has so much potential if they eventually allow you to view this stuff in your community page.

    Yeah I too enjoy this feature.  I feel like I have seen this feature before (not Halo) but I can't quite place my finger on it...
