Often times you won't be able to look up your stats on BF2s.com because your name contains on of these three characters: < > &
If this is the case, you can use your PID number instead to look up stats on BF2s.com.
Hella update: (Man this is an old post) You can actually search for your player name INCLUDING those nasty characters AND with wildcards (*) now. Use the Find Player page.
Finding your PID#
Go to the installation folder for BF2 and open the gp.info file -- it's just a text file, so wordpad, notepad or any text editor will do. Inside you will find the Player ID number inside brackets []. Here's what it looks like for me:
G:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2
(There is more to the file, I just truncated it because the rest is unimportant.)
YOUR PID IS NOT THE userid FIELD. Please, it's the number right above it in the brackets.
