From Broken Toys;
"Apparently, during the configuration process of Comrade, a duplicate soldier is mistakenly created in the Battlefield 2142 account server and becomes the only soldier you can login to with that name. Of course, this pod-soldier is fresh off the vine and doesn’t know how to use things like, say, grenades, but hey, you can’t overthrow the Battlefield bourgeoisie if you’re sitting on a stat horde of your own now can you?"Unfortunately the answer seems to be deleting one of the two accounts. Basically, if you gained a bunch of points on one they are gone. Forever. You would think that EA would FIX the problem instead of just diverting people around it. Unfortunately, this is another sad tale in the launch of BF 2142.
I don't know why gamers are buying this game anymore. The news has to have reached them now that this is a bloated, unfinished, and horrible game. Just wait, I know why gamers are buying this! Because they rationalize all the reactions to the bullshit by simply saying; "People are just overreacting and I will enjoy the game." The sad fact is that the majority of gamers are dumb and could care less what part of their soul they have to sell to play the latest game (ok, maybe not all of us gamers are dumb, but sales figures for games like BF2142 may indicate otherwise).
It is depressing that the gaming community is voting with two big thumbs up for BF 2142. It has only encouraged EA to take the next step. Not only is that next step bad for EA, but it is bad for the entire industry. These same dumb gamers that buy games regardless of the bullshit attached will be the same dumb gamers that just stop buying crappy products out of boredom and it will be the crash of '83 all over again.

I am not sure if this is the exact same problem as I am having or not.
ReplyDeleteI have had the game for a few days, (yes I installed comrade when I installed BF2142) and I have accumulated around 4-5 ranks. However when I log on to my account, The BFHQ says I am a recruit with 0 experience and 0 unlocks.
I have been playing on ranked servers, and I have recieved a ton of unlocks/pins etc. But nothing is showing up.
My first thought was that the updating system is slow so just give it some time.
Well it's been 4 days and nothing is changing... -_-
(If this is relevant, I installed the game on my friends computer when I first got it and I installed comrade as well.. I recovered my character [bf2 vet account] and played for a bit... I was able to unlock items with that account. Went home the next day installed comrade and bf2142 on my computer, recovered my character again but I couldn't use any unlocks, it said I was a recuit, and I had 0 unlocks.)
Interestingly enough I can use what I have unlocked so far in game.
another game to add to the wont work off the bat shelf.
