About the site BF2s.com

My stats aren't updating in-game (on the BFHQ tab)!

Due to popularity, there are often back logs in processing stats due to high loads. Be assured, however, that your stats will be updated soon. An estimate time is provided on your profile page in the Misc. table.

I earned a bunch of points/awards a while ago, but they still haven't shown up in BFHQ/BF2S.com!

There are cases where a ranked server is broken and simply doesn’t report the stats you’ve earned. It’s unfortunate and sad, but that’s just how it is. Don’t play on that server again.

My stats in game (BFHQ) say some weird/large score!

This is a glitch in querying the stats on EA’s part. Ignore it – your stats are fine and they will be back to normal in a few hours.

What's up with this "Queue" I'm in to get my stats updated on BF2s.com?

The queue is in place to stop this site from DDOS’ing the stats server. Your profile is marked for updating when you either 1) visit the profile page and the stats are at least one hour old or 2) you view a “My Leader Board” page and your are older than one hour.

I'm new to BF2 and the "Queue" won't add me to the site!

The queue will only process stats for:

  • Players that exist. Check your PID/player nick.
  • Players that have a score over 100. Go play more!

How to I earn "XYZ" badge/medal/rank?

Can I link to your site?

You can link to it all you want! Main pages, forums, player profiles, whatever!. Here’s a snazzy graphic from aTi|Sanders you can use as a badge:

Where's the old stats package? Can I get this new version you're running?

Short answer(s): It’s gone & no, I don’t give this version out. Long answer...

But I just want a leader board for my friends/clan!

I hear that! You can use the XML feed I provide to do this, and I even throw in a premade PHP API for you! Same link as the one before!

My Question wasn't covered!

That happens, I’m not psychic! However, the forums are a great place to find answers to a lot of questions. Use the search – for questions related to this site in particular, please browse the news section as that is the one official source of info about these parts.

How does that Graph work?

Upon a stats update 1) 2) if your last trend data is more than 24 hours old, it will insert a new trend dataset. This data will only reach back as far as your first entry into the BF2S database, and it will only show days that you have managed to visit your profile after the 24 hour period.

1) Your stats only update upon request, ie: you load your profile page
2) Visiting a leader board with your name on it will also cause a stats update.
