    do you have to finish a round to get points?

    i noticed that this seems to be the case.
    can anybody confirm this, or what?

    apologies if the answer to this question has been posted before.

    Yes, you have to finish a round. You can disconnect from the server and reconnect and you'll still have the points you have from that game but you have to finish that game in order to receive your points.

        Thats incorrect as far as I know. You must finish the round to get your medals and badges but you don't need to finish a round to get your points. You can leave at any time and your points will still be there. If the server crashes on the other hand your points will be lost as the server has to restart. Points are recorded in real time on the server, hence the reason you can leave and rejoin and your points will still be there. If you leave half-way through your points will still be added to your stats when that round ends, even if your not in the game.

        I'm assuming thats why on stats sites you see "completed" and "incomplete" for rounds.

            Well then, my battlefield must be lagging because I just recently promoted to "Lance Corporal" and when I pressed [ESC] and went to BFHQ, it still showed me as "Private 1st Class".

            Any reason why this could be?

              ....try the search bar.

              Normally I would answer this but it's been asked as much as the damn unlock question.

                I'll nip it in the bud, because your stats take a while to update sometimes. If you wanna check your stats use a web site such as www.bf2stats.nl type in your username on the left and voila. You need to be patient with the stat updates in BF2

                  First: stats need some time to update.

                  Second: If you disconnect you will get your points but I'm afraid you will not get your badges, ribbons, medals.

                  Third: if you got promoted in the round and you disconnect, then play another round and just finish it. you will then get your promotion in the HQ.

                      no, you don't. you can play and get 4,956 points, disconnect from the server 30 seconds before the round ends and still get your points. As long as the server itself doesn't crash or disconnect before the round ends, it records your points as you get them and sends them off after the round is over. cheers

                          way to sound confident giving out false information.

                            Well, none of my points would show up after I disconnect after getting them. I usually get around 50-100 points before I disconnect and check my progress. It shows up as the same as before.

                              Ever thought about playing on ranked servers ;-)

                              No serious, check your filter.
                              You wouldn't be the first one playing on unranked servers and wondering where the points are.
                              There are also "modded" servers taht show up as ranked but have kind of an own ranking system. You won't get these points in you stats.
