Battlefield 2 Stats Issue

June 30th, 2007 by James Hyde in Action, Business, MMO, Multiplayer, Online

Over the past few weeks, the majority of BF2 players haven’t had their statistics properly tracked, which has resulted in yet another outrage against EA. Apparently some ranked servers do in fact track stats properly, but it’s only a handful out of hundreds. After a while, EA has properly responded to the issue:

We have identified the problem causing the recent stats issue that has affected a lot of Battlefield 2 players. Our planned fix will ensure that your current and ongoing stats are recorded. In the meantime, we are going to start seeing the stats being processed from the time of the outage. When this happens, over the course of a few days, you may see little to no relevant updates to you stats. This is not because any stats are lost or broken, and you should see normal processing continue once everyone’s stats processing from that time that the stats are caught up.

The stats and ranking system is pretty much the only thing keeping the core BF2 payers still in the game. Results from game-monitor.com show that the count of active BF2 players has decreased by 50-60% over the past two weeks. In related news, EA released the final version of the “Highway Tampa” map, but a long awaited patch wasn’t released along with it.
