NS Activation Problem

[Lotek19]

Ok so i went and bought Deluxe edition today, then i wanted to play northern strike, so it tells me to go to EA - Activate a Game. I put in my activation code, then it tells me to log in, i log in and then it sends me back to the previous page where i enter the activation code and has little red letters that say "The registration code submitted is already used"

ANY HELP?

Re: NS Activation Problem

thats exactly what happened to me.i asked the ea support people for help and all they told me was that my game was already activated and i need the game installed to play.but i'm stuck trying to activate a game that was already activated

Re: NS Activation Problem

in my case, i have not even activated, all it says is that code is already in use...this is complete bs.

I buy the original game for 30, then go buy deluxe for another 30 to play northern strike. It doesn't work. I'm stuck with 2 da** copies of teh same game, and issues with one of them.....wtf...honestly i like EA but they complicate it too much and can't even get a game to work properly now

Re: NS Activation Problem

Well EA pulled a good one, they didn't let me activate my Brig. General. But instead made me make a new account in which i would be able to play northern strike. So im starting a new soldier because of it, but its ok with me, because it feels good to start over, possibly make a better soldier because of all the stuff i learned from before.

Re: NS Activation Problem

This is what you do. I brought the Deluxe edition of BF 2142 which "should" included NS in the package like the BF2 package. But I only got 1 CD key which only gave me BF 2142. So after 1 month of investigating with friends here what you do step by step.

You must Email EA via your BF account and they will actived for you!

To avoid getting rejected by automated response mails. Here's a example of what to include on your mail to EA. Go to EA website. Log on. Go to support and give them a ticket.

Your BF 2142 account linked to the Northern strike CD Key.
Your E-mail used for activating account.
The BF2142 CD key.
Your address.
ZipCode
Affected Soldiers name. So for me it would be Amaranthen
Proof of Purchase: the little number on the manual at the back
Version: Retail? Downloader? Deluxe?
Retailer: Best Buy Canada for me.
EA webaccount.

Hello EA Support,

I've recently purchased Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition from [your purchase method here]
In retail DVD version/Format. I've FIRST installed the game then went online
to EA to register the game. As the packaging and fliers indicated that the
Deluxe edition HAVE Battlefield 2142 NORTHERN STRIKE along with the original
Battlefield 2142. However, this is not the case:

After I installed the game with no hassle and everything went smoothly. BUT
when i log in to Battlefield 2142 and try to play anything related to
Northern Strike, it asks me to download or purchase Northern Strike from EA
Link. I am frustrated with this situation because it is a case of CONSUMER
SCAM! The box clearly said Northern Strike included with the original
BF2142. I've also registered the game any times on EA website and have
followed all instructions correctly.

I VE INSTALLED EVERYTHING CORRECTLY AS WELL AS REGISTERING THE GAME IN THE
EA WEBSITE. BUT IT CLEARLY SHOWS IN MY PERSONA THAT I ONLY HAVE BF 2142 BUT
NOT NORTHERN STRIKE. WHEN I LOG INTO THE GAME AND TRY TO PLAY ANYTHING
RELATED TO NORTHERN STRIKE, IT ASKS ME TO DOWNLOAD FROM EA LINK EVEN THOUGH
THE BOX I'VE PURCAHSED BF2142 INDICATED IT INCLUDED NORTHERN STRIKE!! I AM
VERY FRUSTRATED!

I AM ALSO AWARE THAT MANY OTHER PLAYERS AND CONSUMERS ARE FACING THE SAME
ISSUE! AND HAVE READ THE LINK:

Haha the last part of my "Rant" was a little nudge on the EA to make them aware of this issue. Ignore my strong lanugage if you consider it to be.

Anyway good luck getting NS activated.
