Because of the fact that it messed up the stats servers?

Well, not a stats site is out there *that i know of* and the stats are screwed up again. Millions of points etc etc. Hmmm o_O
 
i'm fed up with all these problems..

-unreliable stats
-game still crashes to desktop after awhile
-servers still have memory leaks (making it un playable after awhile, even with a 15ms ping)
-filters still not 100% functional

..meh
 
It really doesn't matter to me seeing as the unlockable weapons are complete shit.
 
Id hardly say they're shit- you just gotta get used to them and practice with 'em.
Dont forget if the unlocks absolutely owned all it would make for a very unbalanced game once people started getting them- I think EA have done well in giving us unlocks that are worth going for if you want to, but dont totally dominate, hence giving the game long term replayability.
 
Have you used them? You can unlock them in your player profile and use them in LAN/Singleplayer games. You'll see they're just not very good.
 
You can't unlock em anymore since patch 1.02. the trick where you turn all th 0 in to 1 doesn't work anymore. But I heard the pkm is quit usefull against choppers.

You have to remember EA are spending thousands of pounds to do the stat system and they do not have to do it by any means. Its a free service thwey are giving and by no means did they have to do it as part of the game.

P.S if you are crashing to desktop then it could be down to a dodgy PSU. you might wanna check that out

it's not free, servers have to pay them. EA thus makes money of it.
 
not the stat servers, im talking about the hundreds of servers EA has to buy and maintain to keep peoples stats on, im not talking about the servers we play on. EA dont get anything for the stat servers, nd it will cost a bomb to keep up to date and working.
 
EA gets money from ranked servers, that money is used to keep the stat servers up and runnig, otherwise there would be no point on playing on ranked servers. And they also make a profit, they do not do that for our pleasure. Infact the reason getting all the rewards and the highes rank is impossible is made so that you keep playing on ranked servers, so that unranked don't get that much people, and they then go and pay EA money to be able to have ranked servers, and thus EA gets more money. In shor EA does not do anything out of the goodness of their harts, they do not give a shit about you. They get paid for it and they should fix it.

Yes i have used them, and on multiplayer too, i was one of the 5 million to have all my unlocks for a day because of some h4xor.
-The G36 has amazing accuracy- one of the only guns you can actually hold down on full automatic and maintain good accuracy.
-It goes without saying that the sniper unlock is worth going for- it can shoot through cockpit windows for god's sake.
-The G3 has great stopping power, granted it's 20 magazine round and no nade launcher is a bit annoying, but still worth getting.
-THe Support Gun is that much more powerful than the originals, and has a better iron sight.
-THe L85A1 medic gun is my first proper unlock, and is amazing. I have since got used to it, and it has great accuracy and acceptable stopping power. AND it has a scope.
-The Jackhammer engineer unlock- OMG- this thing can fire of all 8 or 9 shotgun shells in like 1 second- sick.
-And the DAO-12 AT unlock, which i haven't tried, but have been killed by it a fair few times, so im in no doubt about it's effectiveness.

QFE

So true.
 
The best unlock is the PKM IMO, I don't play with support, I play 90% assult and 5% spec ops. But are you tired of getting raped by heli's, especially blackhawks, then get this gun. Thats why I got it, no more going AT, just use the PKM.
The G3 is not so very good, first of all it has onbly 2 more damag then the ak47 ak47(38), G3(40), it does have the best full autoaccuracy, but not so good initial 1 shot accuracy.
The rest of the unlocks are pretty good to.

so your telling me the support unlock can blow copters out of the sky? I'm so lost
And yes, they are getting payed ungodly amounts of money to have a stats server running, the more problems they get, the worse they look. And right now, they are pretty far down there --;
 
Basicly as far as I know it does as much damage to the heli's as the .50 cal on the buggy's. and it's far easier to aim then the AT, so in Mashtur City when your beeing raped
by BH, just use this gun. And if a whole squad uses them then the heli's will have a hard time. The only thing that sucks is that it uses tracer ammo, so they will find out where your shooting from. So the Bh is still much stronger, but now atleast even if you can't blow it up you can make them retreat.
