I believe this usually happens when you try to fk with you stats or anything in your profiles folder. Were you playing around in there?

Simple: If you change the key, you get reset.

Back up your key, or if you're lucky and you don't do anything at the screen, you can still find the datafile (called 'mpdata.corrupt')

By the way, the 'hacking, cheating' argument is truly idiotic. Stats are clientside.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

I personally just have one back up of my whole profile. I even have a copy of my main profile just renamed so i can have 10 custom weps.

I kinda do similar thing, I once in a while just restart my stats. So, I have multiple backups of my profile dating quite back.

Yeah, your stats arent stored on some server like in bf2, they are stored on your computer, he probably played on some weird mod server and it registered weird with his stats. Stop with your "oh he got reset he must be hacking" bs.

I did, regularly... whenever i reenter the file it says the same again...




Going to try to reinstall to "re-merge" the game into windows.. see if that won't fix it... if not.. I will be over COD4

Silly people, if it resets your stats it makes a backup of your old file, if you fix your CD key and then put your old stats back you'll be fine.

The old stats are in the same directory as the new ones: players\profile\name\mpdata.something

edit: to fix your CD key, start up CoD4 (regardless of your profile) and enter in the options menu

Who cares, takes 3 days to get up to 55 and like a week to complete most challenges. Not a big loss, and an obvious flaw in the concept that the developers had with stats anyway.

Honestly who cares?  CoD4 stats system is a joke. 

I've had mine reset 5-6 times, dont see me starting a thread about it.
