BF3Stats.com status and changes

Here I will post status updates and changes of the website and the API.

2011-12-16

• API: added type to medals which can be once or multi. This indicates whether the medal can be earned multiple times or only once.
• Fixed order of medals and ribbons which got wrong after Tuesdays B2K update
• Updated the Graphics Pack with Back to Karkand images.
• Upcoming medals and service stars show now only the first medal or service star. If you have every service star and medal once it should be empty.
• For Headshot distance ranking, we will only use the normal longest headshot value, not handheld anymore. Because it lead to confusion and didn't helped to clean out hackers from top.
