I have obviously gotten too used to Steam

I have been playing COD/WaW, getting some practice in for when MW2 is released and had risen up the rankings quite nicely.
I decided to re-install my rig with with Win7 and went through the process of re-installing all my games and after all that work, thought I'd settle back and shoot a few Germans :D
Logged into WaW with my account, only to find I was back to private 1st class :mad:
I had presumed that all the account details were stored online, I'd never bothered checking to see if they were held locally. My missus actually came running down the stairs when she heard me swearing!
Thats 3 months worth of gaming to do again - gutted
Lesson learnt for next time
 
It's a well known problem and has been happening since the start of cod:waw.

If you want to get practice for MW2 play cod4 - my friend is a beta tester on the 360 and says its practically the same just updated.

Is anyone still playing COD4 online???
Presumed that evryone had moved over to WaW?
 
Hmm not sure haven't played for a long time, but when I did there were quite a few servers where you got 5k exp per kill or something :P

Edit: Alternatively ask friends if they are a similar level to what you were they could give you thier save file ? Or ask on here / search web..

I think the "fast rank" servers were pretty much disabled by one of the more recent patches.

Could always go non-legit, find a dodgy server and whack your rank up a bit.

I enjoyed ranking up the first time, but then missed the icons changing every time you ranked up after that... got a bit boring :(
 
I tried to move over to WaW, but with the constant disconnection problems I was having I gave up. That reminds me, should probably reinstall it again.

Re the OP's problem - yup, did exactly the same thing with COD4....was rank 42 or something and lost it all :(
 
Yeah I would've thought it was saved online too, I know the PS3 ones are. Damn that sucks.

I actually hope they remove the prestige ranks from COD6, although it'll never happen. I only did one prestige because I don't see the point in losing my gold weps for an icon, but apparently that makes me a bad player? I was blamed for making our team lose the other day because I was the lowest rank there. :rolleyes:

Well it was clearly your fault then. You have no room for complaints.
