i just had a look at the veteran thing for 2142, put in all my info, had to change half of it after it cut my name down. After fixing about everything the clever site works out that my bf2 name is already in use, BY ME!! As a result it won't let me register, is there something stupid i am doing here or is it just the thing don't work?!

Checked this no symbols, spaces or other things some stuff objects to. It seems to be another EA botch job.ELITE-UK wrote:

I had a similar problem. Tried again about a day later and it worked.
It means the name you are trying to use for 2142 is already in use for BF2. Either make it the same as your BF2 name (for example, I had to make my 2142 name VeNg3nCe because stuff like vengeance are already in use for BF2) or use a name that is not in use for BF2. The vet status is so you can use the same name for 2142 as BF2.
I sorted it after creating about seven new EA profiles and a new bf2 profile. i don't think it's fair not being able to be a veteran under this name as it has 2 more letters, and i seem to have started a craze as there is now an AlmightyGnome26, so anything like my current name was out and i had to suffice for FredGnome. PAH!
