EA responds to stats issue

Re: EA responds to stats issue

I've been watching the boards for a few days for updates on the stat issue. I'm a noob, just bought the game a couple weeks ago. I will admit I love the stat system. I played bf1942 alot back when it was new and enjoyed it without the stats, but it is really nice to compete with my real life friends' stats and such. And honestly, i don't think it makes me any less of a teamplayer. There are going to be those who are out just for points, but there were just as many lonewolfs and bad team players in bf1942 and vietnam without a stats system, so I really have doubts that the stat system is to blame. It was really hard to find bf1942 servers where people actually worked together unless you played clan vs clan or with people you knew. I remember getting frustrated because 10 guys would be standing around waiting for a vehicle to spawn rather than helping the team.

For those of you telling people that the game is about fun... what is wrong with people who think stats are fun? How is it any different from the way a football players passes and td's are recorded and stuff like that? I certainly wouldn't stop playing the game just because the stat system crashes, but I am disappointed especially since I've only been playing for a couple weeks.

My thoughts exactly. I've just bought the game as well, so this is very frustrating for me. I probably could've double my point total this past week were it not for this.

Yeah, Stratiotes. Every game I know of keeps SCORE somehow. There are always in every game those people who strut and brag, but they usually suck and don't know it. Give me a team of mediocre players against a bunch of individual stars any day. Personally, I've noticed teamplay in BF2 become more sophisticated. I see a lot more squads, and people who know how to operate within them. Every win you'll see a good squad was operating. Have two good squads working correctly, you'll never lose.

BUT, HOWEVER, BE ALL THAT AS IT MAY, score and all, you're only as good as your next game. What's done is done, you can't regain what went down in the flood. Strutters and braggers....there's always a faster gun.

Re: EA responds to stats issue

yea, was wondering since the global points are down now. Will my medals, badges, and last battle played come up?? Because mine don't and i am playing on ranked servers. Anyone know when the points will be fixed or if they are fixing them at all??

Re: EA responds to stats issue

Fark. I just started going for my next promotion... I needed basic pilot and basic ground defense, but my stats are updating. I guess the good news it that these ribbons aren't hard to get.

Re: EA responds to stats issue

Okay, so my stats will not be lost? If thats the case, oh boy, I'm going to be overwhelmed with tons of points and medals in the next few days... If they're lost, I'm going to go beserk.

I hear ya Demichev. I'm going to be really angry when the stats do finally start adding up, but not the points i've missed in the past few days.

Re: EA responds to stats issue

sheet, If I do get all the points and the medals I earned, then whoo hoo. I will be up past 30,000

Re: EA responds to stats issue

I don't understand why its taking them so long to fix it. How could EA or Gamespy leave the stat system so vulnerable?

Like I said in another thread. This is no accident. This is no hacker. This is no mistake.

This is in fact, the unofficial test of the BF2 communities reaction to the "issue". The ultimate goal here is to stop having to look after us here on BF2 and save $$$$. By doing this maybe they figure some of us will invest in BF2142 - if the stat server isn't down for that game anyways.

Ps. I always hated EA after they bought out Westwood and started to make C&C games themselves. They are pure shlt now. Generals was OK but OMG I hate the newer C&C games. C&C 3 is the last time I buy from that series of games EA fukd up.

::sigh::

Re: EA responds to stats issue

Do you two really think EA cares about you or I? EA is a board of people - and by that I mean a whole bunch of people sit at a table and look at how to max the flow of $$$$. BF2 had its prime and its an old game now. Why keep pumping money into a game that doesn't sell as much as it use too?

You think i'm full of shlt? open your eyes, both of you. Why has it been 2weeks?

Some people just can't see past the glass wall... oh well.
