I've been building my own site for my own use that reads my stats via the same calls as the game makes. As I have been adding new things, I've been checking my stats here just to make sure I'm reading and displaying things correctly. (Kudos to all the hard work here by the way).
Anyway, I've found something in the maps portion of the stats page that doesn't jive with what I'm getting from my calls to getleaderboard are returning that indicate a possible error (either here or possibly with the stats coming in from EA that I can't see).
The issue is with the Global Rank for the maps "Operation Clean Sweep" and "Zatar Wetlands". Here's what BF2S displays for me for the first five maps vs what a call to getleaderboard returns:
Obviously the numbers won't be in exact agreement due to the fact that the global ranks are constantly changing and the two queries aren't happening from the same time and from the same source. However, it certainly looks to me like the rank BF2S is getting for "Operation Clean Sweep" is the same rank that is being returned by getleaderboard for "Zatar Wetlands".
Since they are right next to each other I thought perhaps there was an off by one error where the value was accidently put in the wrong place, but if that was the case, then all the rest of the maps would probably show the off-by-oneness too which they don't.
A side-note to this is that getleaderboard for "Operation Clean Sweep" doesn't return any data at all, so I can't actually get the global rank for that map, and it appears that BF2S has a similar issue, only with "Zatar Wetlands" since there is no global rank there.
You can see the getleaderboard info by going to [url]http://www.bat-clan.be/bf2urltester.php[/url] and using this as your query:
You'll note that changing id to 2 (Operation Clean Sweep) will not get you a result.
So the issue may be totally on EA's side (one interface returning A and the other returning B) or it may be on the BF2S side. Since I've been using and enjoying this site so much, I thought I would point it out just in case it was the BF2S side.
Sorry for the lengthy note, but I wanted to be thorough in the explanation.
