forums.ea.com — The stat recording system that players rely on to unlock weapons and rank up their soldier has been broken for more than a month. Massive amounts of lost stats and current stats only working sporadically yet EA is still charging for ranked servers and remains silent on the issue. Players on EA and other BF2 forums are outraged.

Before you all start crying wolf... I first created my BF2 account in August 06 at a gaming cafe. I haven't been back to the cafe since. I finally bought my own copy of BF2 in June 07, and I've been playing since the end of June. I've ranked up two times, and I have 4 weapons unlocked because I have SF. Now I will be the first to say, I have not gotten ANY of the ribbons or awards for SF. I was playing a 24/7 Ghost Town server earlier, and I got my Basic Sniper award, but not my Sniper Specialist as it said I did ingame. Anyways, I just ranked up 10 mins ago and got my unlocks.<a class="user" href="http://www.bf2player.com/index.php?page=stats&account=76694962">http://www.bf2player.com/index.php?page=stats&account=76694962</a>

The main thing for me is that they never bother to give information about the cause of this. They ask for patience and understanding(understanding what?no info), yet this has been going around since 12Th of July. The game stats are down for a time, I can take it. (They said no stats would be lost, 2 weeks later they say that some servers did not send info to main server so stats are lost.... What? Idiot on my forehead is it? ) The lack of consideration for paying costumers is apparent. I just want to know what's going on besides that ''stats are not working'', and that's too much to ask.I could go on for a while loll. Anyway we have to do something about it, this is better than just complaining. (Useful complaining :D )O and one of my friends bought the game during this time, so he can't get any unlocks and is stuck with the starting guns, (paid for a lemon?), that is, if we can get to understand the CD-key, it's missing the whole bottom part of digits, so we can't know it's this is a V or a U, an X or a Y? They are the publisher, and can't even print booklets properly. In fact, if I were him I would have tossed this game out of the window.But the truth is I care about the game, I like it and don't want to see it go down the drain.

What? I get the impression you are feeling guilty now that they gave you a free $10 expansion to try and shut you up, and because you were the one that started this digg? Maybe that is all you wanted to begin with. Boy are you selling out! Crying out now for a copy or beta for Crysis? That doesn't fix the problem. And its not about compensation, for just one person. You are just one in billions EA has been screwing over the years. I cannot belive that you are gullible enough to think they are having a change of heart so soon just be cause they gave you something, and that they will make the same exceptions for everyone else. I think I can clearly see that maybe you are one of those people that say "I got mine"..."screw the problem"..."screw everyone else". If so congratulations with that then...I guess...until the next time... when maybe you won't be as fortunate.

yeah I don't know what they did but I was able to search BF2 yesterday and this was my top result. I think powers that be didn't like this and somehow partially hid it. I don't know. But I've now heard that they FINALLY (after over a month) have brought in the dev team. so actual programmers not just the online teams. IT seems like we are finally seeing some real movement and getting some responses from EA. They've got a lot of work to do if they want remain the large entity that they are. This was a disaster.
