Okay my coworker just freaked me out, and he said he read somewhere late last night yesterday that he saw that everyone's stats have been reset????

I am at work, so they block all gaming related sites (I cannot even check my stats), but can anyone confirm or deny this rumor?

It's false. The stats servers were down for a bit but they're up again now. As a BF2 veteran I'm sure you've seen it happen before in previous Battlefield games.

Indeed, I remember a few occasions on the PC when I could not even load my soldier. I also remember plenty of occasions where I would not see my points from playing on certain servers go towards my global score until the next day.

Then again I do not really recall the game having as many issues as there was/has been on the consoles back on the PC either. Especially what I read about the PS3 launch, it was less then smooth with the server issues, so even based on prior expereince I cannot say I would have been completely shocked if there was some kind of an issue with everyone losing their stats as it has been a rocky launch on the consoles and the servers running smooth from the gate.

Either way glad to hear it is not the case.

In the past that's what they have done, reset those who cheated, and left everyone else alone. However that was EA when they were sort of nice to their customers. Who knows what they will be like now :(

I think, key word is think, that I might be hopping on in about 30 minutes give or take 10 minutes and can play for about an hour.

So if anyone is around will see you then, and if I do not hop on, my apologies in advanced.

I'll be online around 7ish, had to give yesterday a miss as too stiff with not taking meds the day before :)

I'll add soLoredd and disturb3d to friends list too in case they're on and want to join.

That was some decent matches last night, its good when the squad system is used properly!

Dunno why everyone is raving over this , sick of battlefield games where you might as well just throw the gun at them for more damage than what the bullets do.

Everything is oversized and chunky, the graphics arent all that great, i dont like matchmaking, the controls are way oversensitive, the interface is clunky, dont even get me started about respawning, i played for 30 mins today and all people do is camp at the spawns before youve even had chance to start moving you are dead again.

Waste of ?40.

Would I.. :innocent: :p

I really love the dogtags though, it's a pretty cool idea. I wish more games used something similar, Call of Duty 4 was half way there with the knife but it didn't really award you for risking CQC.

I already have a few Neowin member's dogtags, so look out :p

Thanks to Munky, my friend AJ (Gamertag = habnad, I mentioned how he joined our server last night but was on the other team then we backed out to invite him but he was gone), well anyway he was going for a knife kill on me as I was giving Munky a health kit, and Munky luckily turned around and took care of him right before he was about to knife me!! LOLOL

EDIT - And sure enough, habnad just posted the same story above me. :rofl:

So I owe you one Munky, and I need to start getting my knife kills up, I so far only have 1 believe it or not.

Actually I am going to be playing between 5-6 PM today, which is in a little less than about 4 hours. I definitely plan on playing with AJ as we missed each-other yesterday, so if there are two more people down, cool.

Also I might play as soon as in 10-15 minutes as I am on my lunch break and working from home today, so there is a good chance I will hop on for a round or two very, very soon.

I want mine back!!! :)

I was chasing after you and DL last night, and had you both cornered. I came running up, was just about to knife DL, he stopped short, and I ran right into your gun!!! Would have had both of your tags... ;)

Haha I don't even remember that happening

Welcome to Neowin dude (Y)

Edit: wow, just noticed you joined in December 2002! You've been lurking this whole time?

LOL, I was quite upset (and that's being kind with words) when that whole plan went terribly wrong.

Yeah, I'm hoping I hold some sort of record for being a lurker for almost 6 years...pathetic... :)

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
