I have played many times and received all but one of my basic medals. That took a little time and none of the stat servers show me as having any points. I am a PFC so I have to have at least 150, right? I am playing on ranked servers. Is there something I should be looking for on servers that will let me know that the stats will be recorded?

Re: Stats servers???
Based on your join date and rank it is pretty obvious you’re new to the game
and community so first let me say welcome
As for your question about your stats. Well the short answer with out going in to too many details is that if you are sure your playing on a ranked server my advice is not to worry about is as they will eventually update.
Ever since this game was released there have been glitches and bugs with the stats and ranking system however despite that in 20 months of playing this game I have never had a problem with them updating. Sometimes you need to be patient and just give the system a little time to catch up.
Being that your rank is a private I am pretty sure have not experienced some of the other occasional glitches with the weapons unlocks not working and your rank not being reported correctly when you join a “Ranked” server. If this ever happens to you and you the easiest way to correct the problem is to leave the server and log out of your account and then back in. After you do this rejoin the server and see if your unlocks are working and your rank is being reported correctly. If they are still not be reported correctly you may have to completely restart your game and then try joining a different “Ranked” server and everything should be fine.
While I don’t want to discourage you from playing the game as it is a great deal of fun..:) You do need to be aware that there are many bugs and glitches in the game that you are bound to experience if you continue playing. None of the bugs are that terrible to deal with and you will get used to them, however they can be quite frustrating at times but not to the extent that it will ruin your enjoyment of the game.
Now as for verifying that you are playing on a “Ranked” server I have posted a screen shot of my browser to show you how I have my filters setup and what you need to look for when searching for a ranked server to play on. I would suggest you set and apply your filters the way I have them in the screen shot if you’re looking for ranked server to play on. Also if you notice the little gold symbols next to the red 2. That is the symbol that indicates that the server is Ranked and reporting to the stats system so if you join one these servers your stats should update with out any problems.
As for verifying that your stats are being updated you can check them by using the BFHQ tab in your game browser or you can go to http://www.bf2s.com/ to check them. If you want to check and verify that your stats are updating make a note of what your current global score before joining a “Ranked” server, then play a few rounds and try to keep track of your score after each round. Then go check you stats in both BFHQ and on the BF2S website to see if they are updating. The thing you have to keep in mind is what I mentioned previously. Sometimes it takes the system a little while to catch up so don’t be alarmed if you do not see it update immediately.
Unfortunately I was not able to make this reply any shorter than it is. If there is something you still have a question on or don’t understand just reply back and either I or someone else in the community will be glad to help you out.
I would not suggest setting any additional filters as I mentioned previously in the my reply there are glitches in the browser and if you set the other filters you may not get the search returns you desire.
Once again welcome to the world of BF2 I hope you enjoy the game.

Re: Stats servers???
Thank you for the explanation but that just leads to some more confusion. I actually have all of the same filters specified and have been playing now for about a week. I acheived PFC almost right away and nothing is showing up on stat servers. My rank is correct when I play online so that's good enough for now. I'll check online again when I hit LCPL (if I ever get there).Comment

Re: Stats servers???
You’re welcome. If you have read any of my other post I have a tendency to get a bit long winded
I could try to explain it better on the forums but I fear if I try to post that here it may turn in to a book by the time I am done.
If you have access to Ventrilo or Team Speak let me know and I will send you a private message with my server info if you want to talk I can easily explain all this to you.
If you don’t have either of the programs I mentioned above you can try to reach me on X Fire and I can explain this to you better. If you have X Fire my user name is "Chronicbuzz" with out the quotes.
I will be on later this evening if you would like to chat about this? If not I am sure other community members will be more than willing to try and assist you with your questions.Comment
