So is it possible to have two soldiers? On all the other bf games me and my son had our own soldier names so we didnt mess with each others ranking up. Do we have to use the exact same soldier?

Massive point jump after 45

44-45 80000 points, 45-46 230000

tbh they are not going to get many new sales of their old games, it would be nice if they could release all maps from previous games, i don't see why they couldn't(free, or at a reasonable price(for EA))

Altho I've never played it, I'd like to see a addon to make it BF 2142 style, that would be cool.

But yeah it'll be a while till number 4, but I imagine they will release a lot of addons/dlc, but tbh, If they are anything like Karkland seems like its going to be, Ill buy them.

Titan mode was brilliant when they got the bugs worked out

Likewise Assault Conquest, stops it being an absolute spawn rape when the game is very one sided and one side holds all the flags.

IF on the same platform, yes

Hey, yeah it is on the same PC with same game, But I don't see any feature to add a new soldier name :confused:

You can only have one soldier per account.

Sin_Chase · 9 Nov 2011 at 20:33

More and more I see/use Origin the more it's flaws become illuminated.

Game Data is pretty much immovable. New install? Yeah - ReDownload for you.
Repair function - ReDownload for you
Backup - Non-existent

All of the above should have been out of the box. Excusable in BETA but then you do not make a BETA product mandatory for a game.....

only way to do it is to get another copy of the game somewhere and create your son his own EA account.

Hey

Thanks for the help, that kinda sucks really seeing as you could on all the other ones. I guess this is all down to origin, oh well no big deal he can just use mine. Just nice to have his own soldier.

Thanks again

Is anybody else experiencing quite horrific lag spikes no matter what server you join?

Armadillo · 9 Nov 2011 at 20:44

Is it actually possible to change squad?

Got fed of my squad in game now. Kept getting across the river on seine crossing. Only for my squad members to keep spawning at the main base licking the windows, rather than helping me get the flag.

Left squad, told it find squad and I'm back with the window lickers.

Just manually join another squad...

Adrianr · 9 Nov 2011 at 20:46

Anyone got a spare Origin discount code handy, or know where I can find one?

Detrimentum · 9 Nov 2011 at 20:46

Also, is there a way to display your ping? It doesn't seem to show up on the scoreboard.

Armadillo · 9 Nov 2011 at 20:46

How? I get no context window or option? I just have find a squad, leave squad or switch team

Nope, you can only see it on the server browser and even that seems unreliable.

Pighardia · 9 Nov 2011 at 20:47

I think find a squad is the same as join squad maybe? try leaving, clicking on the one you want to join and then on find a squad, usually works for me.
