Posted November 24, 200717 yr I wanted to know if I did a sytem restore at any point, will my rank be saved in COD? I know that its not like Battlefield where a rank is saved by internet.

November 25, 200717 yr Wyatt, Simply go into your CoD4 install folder and find the profile folder. Copy and save the entire folder. After you restore, place the folder back in the same location. You'll retain your rank and experience, as well as all your control settings and even saved game progress in SP.

November 25, 200717 yr I really wish they would store user accounts on a central server, it's a pain backing it up all the time.
November 25, 200717 yr Wouldn't that mean you could hack your rank? The file that contains your rank and unlocks within that folder is, according to Activision, "unhackable". I'm sure it will be a matter of time until someone figures out a way to do it. However by "backing up" your rank and experience you're simply ensuring it is saved in the event of data loss on your drive, or resetting of stats caused by a server timeout issue (such as happened in the initial week after release) or the mod/unmod switch problem that was (hopefully) corrected by the first patch.
