I disagree Pollux, for the simple reason that EA stats are SHIT. It's slow, ugly and badly set out. If we were allowed the Stats feed then we could make everything faster and easier for everyone.
Just look at all the additions Chuy added to the BF2 stats page.
Imagine what he could do with the 2142 stats. Some of those websites require those stats to keep on living. It is a big deal for these communities who thrive on the stats feed of bf2 and the community inside. Without this next stats feed where will the communities go?
And yes, I know you will argue that it is a huge community and it will not go easily, or without a fight. BUT this is what Chuy made his stand on, the stats feed, without that this place wouldnt have thrived.
So think about how it affects the community, not just yourself.

I was looking for my stats (in the wait to get a BF2142s stats site) but i have to say it lacks info miserably.

What is more frustrating, is they invited some guy of BF2s to try BF2142 (clearly to try to promote their product) and now they close the door without any notice.

I know DICE/EA read forum like this one, so read this:

GO TO HELL WITH YOUR STAT SITE; I WILL NO LONGER VISIT THAT SITE AND INVITE EVERY BF 2142 PLAYER TO DO THE SAME

Why they try to "kill" those kind of site??? or should i say TeamKill cause it promote their products and help us appreciate the game. now we are stuck with their poor attempt at copying a successfull site.

I'm getting tired of EA. lets hope for other company to do a great war game with stats tracking and i'm out of their business

Initially when I saw the link at the top, I thought we had gotten the stat feeds. I was just about ready to buy the game. Not anymore.

There is a thread about stats on EA's forums: http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID=161151&tstart=0

Maybe posting there will get more attention.

Listen to yourself, man. Shamed itself beyond belief!? This is not that big of a deal.

youre right its not a big deal, but when someones ideas are taken(ie the graphs and buddys) there should be some sort of makeup for that. whether it be a stats feed or some other form of compensation.

everyone on this site KNOWS EA/DICE stole these ideas for their own site.

I think IGN deserves the brunt of the blame here. They're the ones in control of the stats feeds.

Petitions toward corporations are pointless and ineffective ... it is not as if EA is a politician who is supposed to serve the people's interests.

No, the only way to influence a corporation is through finances. If the community were sincere about this, they would need to successfully implement a boycott of EA. Abandon the 2142 servers, stop playing the game, and refuse to purchase additional expansions until this is rectified.

A boycott takes self-discipline and maturity to be effective - hmmmm ... does this describe this community?

So when are the masses going to realize that EA and it's "partners" are full of shit?

Come on, open your eyes to this for fuck sakes.

This site rules. Im grateful for it. They should provide a link to this site with every BF2 purchase
due to their lack of REAL programming that would in any other game include a buddy list.

I dont find it abnormal at all that they put you guys in the dark, lied to you, or otherwise. It is the EA
way. EA is by far, without question the worst gaming publisher in the market. DICE, the worst
group of programmers known to man. I could have put together a better team of programmers, etc
in 30 days.

EA does not support any of their products. Never have, never will.

The BF2.SE petition to not have squad hopping removed in 1.3 had not even a wink from EA, and it had thousands of signatures.

Let's face it: the only way EA will listen to the community is if everyone boycotted their products. And as OrangeHound said, I doubt any person in this community or any other BF community has the self-discipline to do this.

I haven't purchased 2142, was possibly considering it, but now, No. I guess that is about as much as I can do as far as boycotting EA goes since I've already purchased BF2, including SF, EF, & AF.

EA is a shame to the gaming community. So let us shame them. Boycott!
(... maybe someone with more intellect than myself should make an official post here titled "How to effectively boycott EA"....)

For anyone who considers this to not be as big a deal as we're making it out to be, perhaps you have a point. Nonetheless, consider the numerous shortcomings of EA's 2142 stat site. If I want to view stats, I have to go to their Battlefield Community site, which has all kinds of bells, whistles, ads, and crap that I'd never in a million years click on. Once all that loads (if you're using Firefox at least), another pop-up window opens showing you search results. You have to click on one of those names to close that window; if you don't, the rest of your browser windows become unresponsive. If you want to see whose dog tags you've collected, good luck.

Add to this the fact that many aspects of their site have been ripped off from bf2s.com, and I say you have a reason to be disgruntled. Keep in mind that for every hit EA generates on its website, that's one less potential hit for bf2s to generate. If EA has ads and sponsors and whatnot, then they make profit off those hits too--essentially profiting off Chuy's work while his website is constantly denied a stats feed. If that were happening to me I'd be pissed.

EA can piss all over its fan base all it wants to. 2142, and other EA will still sell. Simple as that. when the money stops, that's when they'll care, which is...never.

Here's the letter they have in mind but will never release:

Dear Battlefield 2142 gaming community:

We will do what ever the fuck we like -to this- and -with this- game, and you'll like it.

Sincerely,
EA/DICE

P.S. keep sending complaint e-mails it gives us something to laugh at while taking a break from developing the 2142 booster pack due this fall, which will cost you money, making us richer! we "powned" you!

(notice the miss-spelling of "pwned" showing that EA truelly does not care to cater to or even try to undestand thier customers)

Here's how we get their attention -- today I bought my first 10 shares of Electronic Arts stock. It trades on the NASDAQ. I will start bringing forward shareholder resolutions to have the company partner with their historic partners (such as BF2s providing stats) to build a better and healthier gaming community -- What do you all think?
