ey guys,
Given the numerous threads and requests and certainly I agree with the ridiculous amount of time needed to publish our leaderboards, I've authorized to have their current version put live:
http://www.commandandconquer.com/leaderboards
Here is what is currently missing:
- only top 1,000 are displayed right now (through pagination)
- search has not been enabled yet, thus it is difficult to find your rank at the moment, and unless you are in the Top 1000, you're not on the "leaderboard" at the moment
- win / loss record
- And, if you see the GDI/Nod avatar, its because that user has not uploaded an Avatar to their C&C 4 web profile. That avatar is the default, so yes, most have not done this yet
What is the current Leaderboard:
- this is the PvP Leaderboard, meaning player vs player
- "SCORE" means your GLICKO score, it's similar to Elo which is what our past CNC games were. If you want to know more about how a Glicko score is calculated, read these quick explanations:

- your GDI / Nod commander rankings
Upcoming Leaderboard Fixes:
- everything that is missing from the leaderboard (noted above), are issues we are working to fix, and that is the very honest transparent reason why I was reluctant to authorize putting these live yet because I don't think our current leaderboards are up to par with our past yet, and then some. There are a number of technical reasons why the leaderboards are what they are in their current state, the data exists, its just a matter of working out the kinks.
We're working it out, hope to have them updated soon, i'll keep you posted on the status, won't be before the end of this week just to set expectations, but we have multiple hands in our EA IT and dev team assisting. Sounds silly, but its unfortunately not.
At the very least, our leaderboards are up, and we'll work to get a reset once the above issues are addressed so we can have a fresh clean monthly start. I think you can expect a clean reset at the end of this month, just to be fair and get us on a monthly cadence as usual. As the saying goes, barring any unusual circumstances, those fixes should be in place well before the end of this month =)
