BF2S Forums Info on "Stats not updating" ... and "Stats may be back"

hopefully stats never come back, then bf2 will be normallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllLLLLLL

I'm curious what your definition of "normal" is. I think players benefit from stats. It pushes people to improve.

it's really sad and annoying that EA would want to phase this game out at all, especially when the alternative (2142) isn't nearly as good. i think they just see us as sheeple and are trying to usher us along. if both DICE and EA got their heads out of their asses and realized, 'oh, people actually like and want to continue playing this game? hey, maybe we should do stuff to support them' we would not have to deal with crap like this (and 1.3) and we would have new content and more good stuff, even support for a 1.5

1. Half Life 37580 servers, 72259 players
2. Half Life 2 29069 servers, 61100 players
3. Battlefield 2 5327 servers, 14117 players
4. Battlefield 2142 2456 servers, 9036 players

BF2 > BF2142, mostly because they're the same damn game with different textures.
most BF2 players know this, which is why they're not switching to 2142

... we are told that our work may or may NOT be lost forever but my question is: Does playing on a server that has "Battle Recorder" help in any way to make stats easier to retrieve? I must admit I don't understand excactly what "Battle Recorder" means. Is there actually a record or log kept? Cause if so maybe they can update our stats that way at some point???

I am not going to go in depth to this here, but have a look in the 2142 section and read some of the posts about bf2 vs 2142.

As someone who has played both, they are definitely DIFFERENT FUCKING GAMES, and there is a learning curve associated with 2142 that some people refuse to accept ("its the same game, except the guns don't shoot straight" etc).

The simple answer to the there is more bf2 players is that

• Bf2 has been out for much longer.
• People dont want to pay for another game which is "the same, but crap"
• People who play bf2 play that for the modern day combat, and hence don't like 2142's sci-fi theme.

So STFU about the BF2>2142 shit, cause it is an opinion not a fact.

i have a feeling the only reason that only 14k people are playing BF2 right now is b/c of the stats thing

considering that 1 mil + accounts are out there (yes i know people make multiples... but meh)

LOL at this thread.  30 pages of indecision and mayhem.  The only post that is worthy is the first one.  The rest are just funny now that you look back at it.

......................^im with him.... pointless... i still find myself playing in my server for fun.. and people arent playing less.. but i think EA could fix it but doesnt want to just yet to boost 2142 profits.. cus u know ppl who get bored and are "Stat crazy" are going to go out and buy that lame game

That is such a genius scheme EA cooked up.  The meeting probably went something like this:

EA Marketing Director: Lets fuck up our BF2 stats server, so people will go out and buy our BF2142 game.


EA CEO: Wow that is such and awesome idea. I'm sure if we can destroy our stats server and ruin our name even more amongst the gaming community, they're sure to respond by buying even more of our products.

EA Marketing Director: So are we gonna do it?

EA CEO: You're fired.

EA Marketing Director: Well I'm going to do it anyways, and when it works, you'll come crawling back to me.

LOL!!!!

Oh man your hilarious.. Your flaming really hurts... . For one.. Tell me why this wouldnt work? If EA's rep is already pretty bad what would this hurt? They have already put up a nice excuse "We are doing our best to fix the problem...blah blah.." And Who ever said the Bf2 stat servers were destroyed? All i heard was they are "having some server issues... " ....  Since EA no longer profits from bf2 what bad would it do to give those people on the edge of buying 2142 that extra boost to go and do it... because believe it or not.. a LARGE portion of the people who still play bf2 play for STATS...Without stats what will those people do? Ohhh thats right... go with the Very simular bf2 mod known as 2142... but of course none of that makes sense... and of course you all are going to flame the sh*t out of this because i spoke badly about that lame a$$ game. ... But all im saying is its a possibility..

so, start of yet another week with no stats!!!!!!
EA sux!

EA no longer profits from BF2????????? Do you understand the kind of money they are making off ranked servers? Not only that, they introduced the "BF2 Complete" pack that contains all the versions and booster packs and I know tons of people who have bought that so they could get more out of the game with the expansions, especially SF for the weapons unlocks, even myself. They are still making money from this game....LOTS of money!!! Why produce products, post false "fixing" messages and why kill a game that is stat based to force it to another game? That is just not even logical in the least. They are losing money right now because people aren't playing and they will probably lose some ranked server income over this and I for one will not buy 2142 at all. Never had the urge to and wont, there is no reason to. If you believe that EA is sabotaging its own products to push another....then I have a bridge you can buy, its in great shape and I'm offering free shipping!!! First come first serve!
