Since days now (actually since day 1) Treyarch has some issues with their WaW Master Server. So it can happen, when you log in, your Rank - Weapons - Challenges data is gone. And once lost you can never get it back !
How to make your own back up of your profile so if it happens (again) you won't loose it all ?
*** One Click Profile back up ***
One click on this .bat file automatically places a back up of your COD World at War player profile into
your Documents folder in case you loose it or have to re-install the game.
There is one for XP and one for Vista. Both are in the zip. Read Me with directions included.
