From the Total Battlefield forums.

Well, what a wonderful few days it has been. Since EA didn't take the time to respond (or maybe even read) our emails about various stats-server security holes, it clearly showed us how much they care. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that modifying 5 million accounts wouldn't be that big of a deal.

That being said, accounts with ids from 40,000,000 to 45,000,000 now have all of their weapons unlocked.

What will be next week? Perhaps we'll give everyone their Distinguished Service Medal, or maybe we'll elevate everyone to the rank of Sergeant Major.

The ball's in your court, EA. Time's up at the buzzer, how well will you play?

Update from EA.

Many users logged into Battlefield 2 today to discover that they had access to all of the game's weapons unlocked in their profile. We have fixed the root issue that caused this to occur and by tomorrow morning all users will return to having access only to the weapons which they had earned. Once our solution is in place, if you find that you do not have access to weapons appropriate to your in-game rank, please direct inquiries to the Support sites linked below. In some cases users may be prompted to re-select the Unlock weapons that they are eligible for (if you are eligible for two weapons you will get to choose the two you wish to have unlocked).

Well, that blows for those people. Oh wait, that's me. Fuck you EA. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you very much.

REDWOOD, CA -- June 17th, 2051
ELECTRONIC ARTS STUDIOS [EA] announced today that the world has ended. After finalizing exclusive rights several years ago to all nouns, knowledge and ideas - future, past and even that which comes from retards - EA effectively cornered the gaming market. Living up to their Mission Statement, "Fuck the customers, where's my money, bitch," they managed to slowly but surely kill the video gaming market altogether. As people stopped playing games and moved to Amish communities where they could jack it and fuck sheep, EA began to further expand their dominance over the world markets by buying the NYSE and the Government of the United States of America. This completed their portfolio of world governments and stock exchanges that began in 2009 when they bought all of China. That initial purchase helped them in their hostile takeovers of Blizzard, NCSoft and Sony, by giving them exclusive rights to all of the major gold farming centers. Their power snowballed from that point on until they made their latest aquisition, effectively giving them the rights to everything. In one final move, EA Executives landed a thermonuclear bomb at their Lunar studios (EA MOON) in celebration of their latest title SIM:Life (TM). This detonation caused a cataclysmic chain reaction resulting in the total destruction of the Earth and several neighboring planets. EA released a Community Update advising anyone who had paid for SIM:Life, and could prove it with the proper DNA and with the Flash Card in their drive at all times, to visit the customer service website inorder to request support. As of press time, EA's Customer support site is still down.
