Please take note!

After the intro, you will be prompted to enter your EA account username and password to enter the game. The first account you used to login will be tied/associated with your cd-key.

Each EA account can have multiple soldiers in it, but the cd-key appears to be permanently tied to your account. Currently unknown if you will be able to transfer it to another account later - but highly unlikely.

IMPORTANT: We will not reissue you with a new cd-key if you messed up.

Also, you may not be able to run BF2142 with another EA account that does not already have BF2142 registered to it. Will report findings if/when I know more. Only the scenario below is confirmed:

Scenario:
A buys BF2142 and logs in with his account. Later, his friend B, who did not purchase BF2142, comes over and wants to play the game. When B tries to log in using his own account, the game will inform B that this copy have already been registered by someone (in this case A) and will not let B enter the game.


-----------------------

Oh yeah, you must have an active Internet connection to register your cd-key with your EA account. You will not be able to start the game without doing this. This is because you need to have at least one registered account on the PC to run offline mode.

So the veteran program (reserve BF2 nick for BF2142) is tied to account or the nick? Because when registering for the veteran program, "." (the dot) is not allowed, eg. evofighter.my so I register another new nick but when I do this at BF2142 demo (I use evofighter.my), no problem. So if possible I want to use back my old BF2 nick. blush.gif

You should contact EA support to confirm, because you have to log in with your EA Account, not gamespy.

I believe the restriction only applies to EA Accounts that does not have BF2142 registered under it. If you own BF2142, you should be able to play with your account at cyber cafes (assuming they have original copies). Will test this out later when I'm free.

lol like they give a damn now.

btw this is good. if the cd tied to the ea acc.. so if go cc better la. simply put in username n password and set to go. no need to ask them to install individual cdkey for each pc and when they did that we didnt show up afterwards or hijacked by camping wow n dotards players.

hopefully less patches this time.

But I thought the what the Gamers.com guy meant is 1 CD = 1 Account? rclxub.gif

Oh man this confusing for a TESL student! rclxub.gif tongue.gif



But if we have to create a new EA account for this game, what about us BF2 veterans who have registered for veterancy in BF2142? rclxub.gif

i couldnt be bothered about the veterans acc now.
first rank up is 30 or 40pts, very easy to get in one session.
thats basically how long your veteran advantage will last tongue.gif

theres no other advantage to the veteran program anyway.

If you already have an EA Account, you can use it to log in. If you don't have an existing EA Account, you need to create one. But the first account that you used to log in will be tied to your CD-key.
