I've had a couple of promotions come up more than once but never this bad. Probably just the EA server being slow to upload but this ever happen to anyone else?

It's the weekend - stats are backlogged. Until your stats update officially, you will keep getting promoted as it thinks you are still at your old rank. By late tonight, or tomorrow morning all should be well.

On the weekends it takes anywhere near 6-24hrs for stats to register . . . fun eh?

That happening probly cause the stats server has been slow at updating.

Wow, thats alot of sniper rifles

I had that happen, better yet, I got basic assualt 5 times in one night!

It happens when your stats dont load, so you start as private, I got enough points to rank up when that happened and the next time I logged in, I got a premotion, then after that, a re-premotion and a few more promotions in the following severs

Edit: Whoa, good luck understanding the above paragraph!

I realise this is because of a backlog in the stats updating on the EA server, just never had it this bad.

No, but I thought it was funny enough for a post.

I stopped at 13 because I got bored, it didn't stop itself

the weekends are the worst time to get promoted IMO since it takes twice as long for stats to update,etc

oh yeah congrats on being a Staff Sargeant

[QXJZ]Capt_Kefra: Alright, you're good to go!; +124|7177|Honolulu, HI

I know a stats server backlog can cause multiple promotions to the same rank, but anyone care to explain why the last time I played SF, I received (over 3 rounds), Basic Medic, Basic Medic Specialist, Basic First Aid, Veteran First Aid, Basic Pistol, Veteran Medic, and Veteran Medic Specialist (not to mention about 5 ribbons)? (Yes, I have all of those already--have for quite some time, too.)

You're not the only guy seeing weird stat-related crap going on. Might not affect stats, but sure is confusing (if funny).

Nah With my reflexes (not great), lag and a problem I have with aiming without a cross or centre dot it's about the only way I can do reasonably well as far as combat goes.
