I got it not to long after that post on fileplanet. Great map but I don't think its ranked yet. I don't think the server we played on last night registered. Again, great map though.
I wasn't impressed.

The small village cap points are large enough to offer cover for AT infantry and TOWS actually seem to be placed in effective positions. There are plenty of roof top area's for more AT infantry to work from and scattered rock out-croppings where AT units can operate.
In the maps we played last night it was a SRAW fest. There were many times where a half dozen SRAW were streaming out at armor. There were infantry firing SRAW from various nooks and buildings that created a difficult choice for the tank driver; stay and cap the flag exposed to AT fire or hunt down the infantry and leave the flag.
As a player who needs both Support, AT and Tank time, I like this map. And considering the experience we have in our Clan driving tanks it will be fun when about six or eight of us are rolling thunder all over the map working our armor like a pack of blood-thirsty maniacs while nearly helpless infantry continuosly fire SRAW at us. Looking forward to seeing LA_MERC rolling!!!
I agree. At one point I managed to get the F-18 and after a bombing pass went back to reload and went right over a line of M1A1 tanks (8 total) all rolling toward the gas station at top speed. With my graphics card it was quite impressive. And the few times we had a number of Merc's rolling coordinated was pure hell for the opponents. We were down 30 points on one round with only 59 points to go when Wetzny rallied the troops and the MERC convoy came back to win 11-0. Sweet games. I like the map.
well I was on for a little time but the wife hax

After playing this map last night, I noticed that my rank was private, and I received no stats for the effor.
So last night, after leaving the server, I tried to install it again. I noticed a message popup that stated that the application may not have installed properly, and wanted to know if I want to re-install it using the correct settings (By the way I'm running Vista). So I chose that. Everythings seems to have run fine.
This morning I play a round to see if anything is different. Well, my rank showed up correctly in the game this time, but in the end, no stats were updated. So it still leaves me to question whether stats for this map are really being updated, or whether I still have a problem with the installation of this map.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
Well it appears as I stated above that even as a beta the servers are ranked and stats will count. I can see my stats are changing, both tank kills and time are moving. And my stats reflect the correct date for my last battle. I get my stats from Bf2player.com.
One thing I will mention when looking at your stats Wetz, is that your total win / loss record for rounds matches, your totol win / loss record for maps, and Highway Tampa is not a listed map. So it still makes me wonder.
Could you have possibly played some other maps that created the perception that your stats were being recorded, or did you notice your stats being recorded after playing Highway Tampa exclusively?
I'm only going off what I saw in the EA post in the first link I posted... My total Kills are increasing along with my armor time and Global Score. Which to me indicates the server is ranked even as a Beta per the EA information. It is still a Beta, and generally with EA there is always some hiccup, but if my total points are moving that works for me right now...
The three rounds that I played tonight on the map all showed up at BF2player.com. They even have the map listed (with the correct stats for me). I would have to go with Wetzny on this.
I did play with the group last night on the L33tserver. Those 2 rounds I played did show up on my stats now at bf2player.com. So I will have to attribute the first night, to the problem I mentioned above with installing the map on Vista, and I guess the second time I tried to play Highway Tampa, there must have been a problem with the server I played on (firewall possibly).
Anyway, it is working for me now. And I have seen stats report from this map. I was just trying to get this all straightened out because my game time is limited, and Friday night is my main gaming night. So I would have hated playing all night tonight on Highway Tampa for nothing.
Walter,
I've had the Private ranking bug in the past on regular maps. Although it was hit or miss if the credit caught back up with my stats. It seemed that kills/pts would but not any badges/rank items.
