On the first login screen you use your EA account name. Not your soldier name. After you log in to that, then you log in as your "soldier".

You have to log into BF2142 using the same name you'd log into the EA forums with, not the ID you chose. Once you login with your EA id then the James-M id should show up in your player list.

Didn't they say it was reserved for a limited period of time (1 month or something) ?

Yeah! I think the veterans program closed the middle of November, but the webpage is still up.

They won't care, its a lot of crap anyways, you get the trademark 2 next to ur name in TAB and start off with 40 points more than someone who doesnt (as we all know)  How hard is that to get in a round, maybe two, unless your a n00b .  Go stats pad your 40 points if that will make you feel better, in game knowone really gives a shit about whos a vet or not.

Didn't work for me too, but I don't care. In fact it's easier to be something special without that little red two.

Wtf do you want that BIG RED 2 in your tag for?  So, all the other noobs can aim better at you, no thanks.  I played almost 800 hrs BF2 and I don't want the 2 in my tag.

worked for me, free rank and unlock etc. another interestin note, if you ever look at the scoreboard for a good team played game, i often find the top 5 full of little bf2 tags
