Yes ladies and gentlemen, apparently Dylan never knew about the Rank Up Glitch, where you’d get the new Requirements for some of the adjusted point-value Ranks and would not rank up – you’d have to get the old rank requirements.
Here’s what he had to say:
Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to drop you all a line and let you know that we *are* aware of the rankup glitch 🙂
Initially when I wrote the blog post, I wasn’t aware of it but ever since I saw the comments on the blog and the posts here on the forums, we jumped right on it. Thankfully it looks like its just a serverside issue and so NO patch is required. We’ve informed our the SONY Network team in San Diego and they are working on it right now. As soon as they have a fix, they’ll deploy it and you guys that are stuck between Captain and Major will be fixed. In fact any of the rank changes that are not updating serverside from the v1.4 patch will be resolved, its just that a huge portion of players are at that “Major” level.
We’ll keep you all posted!
So as you can see, this will be fixed and will have nothing to do on our end, except keep on playing!
And about that Bluetooth Headset problem where you can longer talk/hear anyone after a few games, they’re looking into that as well.
