    EA have taken major steps to reduce the number of people tracking. Theres a large number of sites that poll the entire Database. Leading to slowdown.

    BF2s has got a lot better then BF2 Tracker, no sign up either

    Oh right......just that I can't load the website......it's being very unresponsive ("cannot find server" message)

    Plus, all Tracker sigs aren't displaying on these forum pages..........just kinda made me think that something was awry....

    Could be the server update time.

    Use bf2s.com and their sigs

    Well, it solved my problem, which is great..

    Just visted bf2s.com and they can't search stats.......it's being blocked EA's side....."After speaking with reps from IGN (they run the stats server hardware, etc), I've been informed that community sites are now being officially and agressively blocked."

    That might explain why BF2Tracker is down.....

    Good idea as a punishment........all hackers should be put on Big Brother and exposed to the world as the swines that they are...!!!

    Hmmm...guess I'll be having to wait 18 hours to see my updated stats then.....

    Judging by the wording.

    EA will host their own public stats servers, these will be the only sites with access to the stats directly.

    Other stats servers will then be able to link to the official servers, reducing the load on the main stats.

    Why EA Didn't do this originally is beyond me.

    Ah.....that would tend to make sense........cutting everyone out of being able to view their stats by a method of their own choice would be a bit off...!

    But then, it is another example of EA going in all gung-ho without really putting 100% thought into it..........I mean, how many patches will this game need to make it "perfect".....(in the loosest sense of the word).....

    No game will ever be perfect.

    The original Unreal was still getting patched a year ago.

    But this BF2 really does seem to be Beta.

    I want the server browser to search for just European or even english servers if I want it.

    Went on a server last night and all I got was people speaking some middle eastern language, ping was only 40

    That's why I said "perfect".....not in a literal sense.....

    There are a lot of bugs, and a lot of limitations in this game that hopefully time will iron out......
