Battlefield 2142 Veteran’s Program
As we promised in our last newsletter, DICE is pleased to announce the details surrounding the Veterans Program — our way to reward loyal Battlefield 2 players who are planning to play Battlefield 2142.Players who have logged time with BF2 will be able to log onto the Battlefield website and reserve their Battlefield 2 name for Battlefield 2142 before lamers can squat on it.
Veterans status will also provide players with several other items including the following:
- An exclusive war dance animation that you can use in-game to taunt/pwn other players
- An in-game notification icon that lets other players know that you had a tour of duty in Battlefield 2
- An instant promotion that will be available the first time you log onto the game.
This will let you choose from several weapons and gadgets right off the bat—from a Herzog shotgun attachment to your assault rifle to a V5 EMP grenade available to the support class…and more.
Be sure to check back often for more news surrounding the Veteran’s Program so that you can get in on the ground level.
So… if you stuck out BF2, you can get some props for BF2142… The name issue really isn’t one I had to deal with. But that’s nice all the same. Instant increase in rank and an unlock is a nice thing, but with the number of gamers who it will happen to, I don’t think it’s a big thing. As long as they don’t mess up gameplay too much with 2142, I think they’ll sell some copies. But a lot of disenfranchised people will be looking at Frontlines and Enemy Territory:Quake Wars.
