First off, BF2 Stat signatures are not an idea I came up with. I wish I had, but I didn’t. Battlefield 2 keeps track of your in-game stats across all of the games you play on ranked servers, adding a bit of an RPG element to the classing team/squad shooter. Using some clever requests, a webpage can ask the EA servers for a player’s stats as if it were a server that needed to know. You can then use the response to generate any sort of data you want. A very common thing to do with this is create dynamic forum signatures and website images that display your BF2 stats.

This became very very popular and because of that, most of the sites that were doing it well got really bogged down and you couldn’t check your stats without waiting many hours. Because of this and a desire to have more control over my signature (I look GREAT if you only show KD and sniper accuracy), I wrote a program to do the same thing for me and my friends.

For educations’ sake, here is how my version of the BF2 sig program works:

When someone tries to access a particular user’s signature (they are viewing a forum or webpage where the image is linked), the script will check the database to see if it has current data. If so (less than 2 hours old), it will just return the last image it created for that user. If not, it asks the EA servers for new info and creates a new image. Additionally, my script saves all the data it has ever collected for each user, resulting in the ability to see how all your stats change over time (as long as your sig gets accessed fairly regularly). This was a very cool tool to supplement the gameplay, but we all got bored with BF2 and stopped playing shortly after I finished :\. Still, I keep the project linked for posterity’s sake and to remind me to do this again for new games and include the functionality by default in any games I create as a part of the (mythical) MUA development team.

Here is my last updated signature:

Edit: I’ve noticed a lot of traffic recently on this page. I’m wondering: are people here to get their stats or to find out how to create their own stat programs? If you’re reading this, please leave me a comment. If enough people are just looking for a way to do their own stats, I would be willing to get the project back out, dust it off, and enable it for the public. Please let me know.
