BF2 Account Tag · You can add a 6-character prefix to your account nickname which will be displayed in-game next to your nametag in the scoresheet, in game messages, and above your player. This prefix does not change your account name or statistic information (e.g. the prefix does not appear next to your name on the leaderboards). You can change this prefix at any time at the account login menu.

thats a bit of a fix but not much of a one...

still means you cant change your name... what about people who have tags in thier names already but want to remove them as they have changed clans ?? like me

Theres supposed to be 140 fixes so I think we can wait, after all it’s a fantastic game. Pity the Voice over ip is crap, you cant tell when others have to use external programs.

A few more weeks and hopefully a better game. Performance wise I hope they do us proud as more speed helps and if the servers run better it will be even better.

NTL are giving me 10MB by the end of the year so it all bodes well here in Scotland.


Now if anyone could leak more info, call it a special black ops mission. Obviously testers have a run down of fixes and it would only take two minutes to go into a net café and register “joe blogs” and post. I realize anyone could post rubbish that knows nothing but hey one of the posts might just hit the mark.

Wake Island· In a surprise move, forces of the People's Liberation Army have attacked and captured Wake Island in a bid to threaten US lines of supply. USMC forces have been short-stopped from their deployment in Manchuria to respond to this new threat. The airbase on Wake Island is the lynchpin of the Chinese air threat, however it is highly susceptible to ground attack from either the northern

Compare Feature· By clicking the COMPARE button in BFHQ, you can search for another players name and load their current stats into BFHQ. Using the arrow buttons next to the name in the top-left corner of the menu, you can toggle between your stats and their stats. You can also load a player's stats by double-clicking on their name in any leaderboard.

Favorites/History· There is a new tab in the MULTIPLAYER menu that holds a list of the last 20 internet servers you have connected to, plus a list of servers you have selected as favorites.

BF2 Account Tag · You can add a 6-character prefix to your account nickname which will be displayed in-game next to your nametag in the scoresheet, in game messages, and above your player.
