I changed my GameSpy nick to match my EA account, but it didn't work until I actually got on Gamespy and logged in for some reason.

I think the Gamespy thing is really dumb, but I just played a round on Operation Smokescreen and I thought it was bad ass.

I don't understand why so many people have so many accounts anyway...doesn't make ANY sense to play multiple BF2 accounts as one person.

If you have 1 computer and 2 people in the household playing Battlefield 2 at separate times, then have both people play on the same account.

Problem solved.

If you absolutely 'need' to have your own account (it means that much to you), purchase a second copy.

I have one account I play semi-seriously on, with a bit over a hundred hours logged. I have another 2 accounts that are essentially there for nights I just want to log in and have fun doing whatever it is I feel like without ruining my main account's stats with about 20 hours between them. I might play 4 or 5 times a week, using a different account each time.

Being limited to having to stop and wonder which account I want to log into is a bit silly IMO. I could understand it if there were a good technical reason for it, but you already have a unique identifier for every copy out there in the form of the BF2 CD key.

If EA only wants us to be able to play one copy on one account, why allow use to register and log into multiple accounts with the same copy in the first place? Just because your needs and desires aren't what others are looking for doesn't invalidate what everyone else wants.

EDIT: Since there's an EA rep here, I just wanted to note that this is *the* reason I'm holding off on purchasing EF right now. I'm tired of software companies making me jump through hoops when I'm a paying customer, and I'm certainly not paying more to be given a silly restriction.
