BF2142 Veterans Program

[TG]

[August 23, 2006, 10:21 pm ET]

The Battlefield 2142 Website has details on a "veteran's program" whereby Battlefield 2 players can register their player nickname for Battlefield 2142 and receive a couple of perks along the way, including a promotion and an on-screen indicator of your veteran status. Additionally, EA announces the chance to stack your benefits by pre-ordering DICE's shooter sequel:

Order from GameStop or EB Games and receive an instant promotion the first time you log on to Battlefield 2142! You’ll get immediate access to unlocks including the shotgun add-on for the assault rifle, an EMP grenade, or the squad leader beacon!

For the BF2 Veterans who pre-order with GameStop or EB Games, the promotions stack, so they will really be ahead of the game as they hit the rank of Private 1st Class right out of the gate. Keep your eyes peeled for even more exclusive values from our some of our participating pre-sell partners, and remember to enlist early!

Hmm, interesting. Seems someone has taken 'ThisGeek' for 2142 already.

You mean you have to reregister to play 2142???

[Ruslan74]

err... no... thats why you reserve your name on the website above for when 2142 is out so you dont have to.

i have just reserved my name.

I reserved my name as well. I still have no friggin clue whatsoever how to use it when BF2142 is out...

Those unlocks and rankups are also included in the BTGames Bonu$ preorder.

Uhh.. Useless, why are you a tiq addict?? That stuff's not good, you know!

Yeah, I supposedly have to sign up for an "EA Member account" first

Oh well... now to sign up for yet another thing

Booked me but then stuffed up CD's registration - it took the Cullen_ part before I could get Doom in there. Doh

[FeralBanana]

AUUGHH!! THE HORROR!!!

The stupid EA thing says that my account doesn't exist. I think... Err, okay, let's sign up (maybe I haven't already).

I go to sign up and it says, error, account already exists. I think.. Um... Okay, let's try see if I just cant remember my password, go to "Forgot your password?". It says "Error - The information you provided was invalid."


Do I have an account or not!?!?! If so, How do I access it!!?

[rainy]

I had the same thing. Couldn't create an account with rainynight65, because EA kept telling me the name was taken. However, trying to login with my BF2 creds didn't work either. So I just used a different nickname. It doesn't have to be the same as your ingame nick at any rate.

Oops - Just realised that I signed up with my "RabidSatsuma" account - not my "FeralBanana" one.

Had to search my Gmail inbox for confirmation of my account

I still don't understand why I couldn't sign up my Feral account in the first space place.
