Assuming you know your EA password and username and your bf2 login too,all should work normally unless the name icecoldkiller could be already taken.
Also 2142 has the option to add the tag to your a name when logged in,so i would try icecoldkilla first without the clan tag.

As I Said.

Just a server error, if you give it time, just Icecoldkilla should work (assuming its not already taken)

They can't tell the difference between name and clan tag (its just a suggestion because you can add it later like they did in BF2), but the only non alphanumeric (A to Z, 0 to 9) characters allowed are dashes ( - ) and underscores ( _ ). So my guess is that <,>, and : aren't allowable in names.

this company are the biggest bunch of fuckwits i have seen then why would they allow it in bf2?]

this company are the biggest bunch of fuckwits i have seen why the fuck would you allow it in bf2 and not 2142?

Why would they release a game and expansion packs, then a month later release a sequel? who knows, its EA, all logic goes out the window.

That would be my next suggestion, but EA tech support is extra-useless, so if you feel lucky give it a shot.

yeah, they would most likely ask you to port forward the BF2 ports and disable your antivirus, like they do for all problems.
