Re: Call of Duty: World at War MP profile question

The COD5 profile folder is in a different location than COD4. You will find it at: C>Users>Name>AppData>Local>Activision>CaDWaW>Players.

If this folder gets damaged or corrupted, you will lose your weapons and stats.

I always copy mine to a second hard drive every few days.

Not true, everything is stored on the server this go around. While there is a copy stored on your machine - The server keeps a copy as well. If you loose yours it is re-downloaded.

How is it re-downloaded? Automatically? As a test, I just deleted my profile, and started a round, and all my guns and perks were gone. I stuck my backup copy in place, and everything was restored.

I was almost positive the server kept a copy of your rank. Reason being that when the pirated version was leaked, people were talking about how the pirated CD-Key was giving them rank back.

Well, I'm not too sure then. When I installed COD 5, the first thing I did was figure out the new hiding place for the profile so I could make updated copies from time to time.

It sure starts you back at ground zero if you nuke your profile folder.
