Names

[nefariousGiT]

What name convention should we be using when playing in BF2?

ATOKNIVES
ATO_KNIVES
A_TIN_OF_KNIVES
ATINOFKNIVES
ATinOfKNIVES

or something completely different?

The reason I ask? Just wondered... PDT_Armat:

[A TIN OF FEAR]

its always uppercase

but we havn't fixed on a convention which is a bit of a pain...

i use ATINOF_FEAR

i know that baccy uses A_TIN_OF_BACCY

...so until we can change the player name in BF2 without loosing any score we've built up, it doesn't really matter...

thnx

[A TIN OF YODAN]

i post a question to EA games for that, because i gone change it to PDT_Armat:

i will get a response within the next buisness day, they say
when i get it i'll post it inhere so you all know it to PDT_Armat:

bombs mate that WILL NOT change your ingame name.

only your gamespy id.

my gamespy ID is cybo, my BF2 name is ATINOF_FEAR, they are not related.

[A TIN OF WOLF]

Exactly what jim said...tried it, failed at it...got annoyed with it ...but its still the same :)

[A TIN OF BOMBS]

hmmmm in the beginning it did change my name...think it was in the demo...

[nefariousGiT]

At this early stage - why not just start another account with your new name...? *I did

I have the three following accounts:

ATO_KNIVES
ATinOfKNIVES
nefariousGiT

why? *you may ask... *Its easier to gain 1000 points on three accounts and get the unlocks than the 1000 then 10000 required for just two. *Plus if they do allow name changes at a later date - so what, its only a game

[A TIN OF FEAR]

yup, i've got three accounts too..

but now i'm halfway to second unlock in one of them, and i've a fair idea which it's going to be... :)

...third unlock is gonna take a while... :(
