Anyone see this? (stats hack)

I don't do ranked, so it doesn't affect me......however, something like this should get EA's attention.

I gotta check if mine are unlocked.

That is crazy

so how do you unlock these weapons if you don't play on a ranked server?

Play on the private server where they are unlocked

My "Lt_James[EGG]" account falls in that range of "unlocked accounts" actually. I should log in and check. Not that I've been impressed with them - but a change is nice.

I randomly joined a server that was ranked last night and did have access to all unlocks (figured the server was hacked or something). I spent the entire map testing them out.. most are definately NOT improvements and some are far worse than the standard, so no worries for those not ever playing on ranked.

Well Dice never said they where inprovments, just differnt selections. That being said, G3 owns all, sure you get no nade launcher, but it's every easy to kill people in a few shots. I've sniped people and sniped a few snipers before with it. :P

PS: all mine are unlocked and I sometimes play on this ranked server with people using teamwork. (OMG!!!!!!)

Response from EA:

Quote:

In the future, if you really are concerned about "exposing security holes" to EA (which I sincerely doubt) rather than grandstanding, please e-mail me personally since it appears that you don't have the correct contact info. I will PM you the address.

All of the changes made will be rolled back in the next couple hours. Users may have to rechoose any unlocks they would have legitimately made in the last day or so as a result of the roll-back, but no stats should be lost.

They also posted something on the main site:

Wow, this does explain some things. I noticed on a ranked server all my weapons were unlocked but I did not think much of it. However, since last night my account is totally locked out. I am unable to login, or create a new account/profile. All attempts result in an error concerning my E-mailAddress / Nick...

So it looks like this account 'unlocking' may have had some seriously nasty side effects - I for one am completely unable to login to BF2 anymore!

Well thats acually EA's fault. They reset all the unlocks on the hacked accounts and it seems to have a side effect of not letting us log in. I know I can't.
