Omdat EA dagelijkse vele klachten ontvangt over de verweking van de statistieken, hebben ze ons gevraagd om aan jullie hier iets meer over te vertellen:

In order to make it more apparent for users when to expect stats updates to appear in a given user's BFHQ, we felt it would be a good idea to pass on the following recommendations to the Community to help them understand when issues may occur with stats tracking for their profiles. The most important thing to remember about stats is that snapshots are sent for processing at the end of a game round only. If for any reason a round is interrupted (such as by a scheduled reboot as happens at 3 PM and 3 AM local time on all EA servers), stats from that round will not accrue. In all other cases, it can take a short period of time after the round is complete for these snapshots to be processed. BFHQ may not be updated with your new progress for upwards of fifteen minutes during the daily peaks (though 99% of the time stats processing is nearly immediate nowadays). If you have been playing on one particular server for a long period of time and have not been seeing any stats accrue for your account, we suggest playing on an Official EA Server to verify that there are no issues with your profile itself. The easiest way to be sure that you are playing on a legitimate Official EA server, is to make sure that the IP starts with 159.153. After completing a round on on Official EA Server (and playing more than five minutes in that round), check your Last Played Game stat in BFHQ. If this still has not updated, we recommend contacting EA Technical Support. Please let EA Technical Support know the names and IPs of the servers that appear to not be accruing statistics for your profile.

EA maakte deze ochtend bekend dat de 1.03 patch wordt uitgesteld naar begin september. Helaas nog even wachten, maar de patch is veelbelovend!

In this space about a month ago, EA and DICE listed many of the feature tweaks and updates that are pending for the 1.03 Update. In order to address the key issues as quickly as possible, we set an aggressive release date for the end of August. Unfortunately, as we approach the end of this month, it has become apparent that we will not meet this goal, and we wanted to keep you abreast of our progress. We are committed to making the 1.03 Update as comprehensive as possible, so while it is important to us to keep the release date, it is more important that we take the time to do this right. We will avoid committing to another date, but know that our goal is to get 1.03 out as quickly as possible in September, and we are very close to that goal. Keep fighting soldiers, the 1.03 Update is coming!

Op de site van Point of Existence is ook een kleine update verschenen.
In deze update worden renders getoond van de M-1014 Joint Service Shotgun , M1A2 Abrams en de Tornado Multi-role Combat Fighter.

Na een lange tijd niks van deze mod vernomen te hebben komen de heren van de NightFighter mod met een update.
Deze update bevat ingame screens van hun eerder getoonde F117A-Nighthawk.

Zelf hadden de heren het volgende te zeggen:

You had to wait a long time before you can now enjoy some new screenshots from Nightfighters. Thank you for your patience. On the following screenshots you can see our F117 ingame. Do not wonder about the ugly window texture, it will get some nice reflections soon. The F117 will have self guided missiles to targets that will be marked by a laser-pointer from other persons.

Het script op deze pagina berekent wat je had kunnen verdienen in de uren die je verspeeld hebt aan BF2.

Jorrit zeg zelf over dit script:

Hey, ik heb een klein script gemaakt om te berekenen wat je had verdiend als je geen BF2 had gespeeld.

Kijk dus maar gauw wat je aan inkomsten bent misgelopen door Battlefield2!

In de wekelijkse update van de mod Forgotten hope geven de heren developers nieuwe renders vrij van voertuigen die in de afrika campagne gebruikt zullen worden.

Welcome to athe conclusion of our two and a half part news update. At last, The British have arrived -- and in style. When the first FH2 Panzers take the field, they will find these models (and many others) waiting for them.First off, the British will need new player models.
As with the Germans, it will be a little while before we can show you the whole thing, but Zero has prepared a glimpse of what is to come. About 12 million Mark II steel helmets were produced during the war, and it was, perhaps, the most distinctive part of the British uniform

De onderstaande renders laten een paar van de Britse pantservoertuigen zien die we in deze campagne kunnen verwachten.
