I have no idea why this hasn't been done before, but I'm making this to answer all the AF/EF questions that need an FAQ to hopefully stop some people from asking over and over again. If a mod could sticky this that would be fantastic. Also, if they could unsticky the locked "AF is out now" thread that would be cool. Why is that stickied anyway?
I bought the boosters but can't play. What do I have to do?
I bought the boosters but can't play. What do I have to do?
Can I play the boosters with another name?You need to register the game. Here's how, assuming the ea site is working. You will need an ea.com account. Having a bf2 account is NOT the same as having an ea.com account. Create an account if you don't have one, then do the following:
-www.eagamereg.com
--Follow the steps
How do I get the North American Ribbon?Yes! But you are only allowed three name changes per week. (confirmed via the ea website)
While you are able to change the user name you play on the boosters with, they have changed how to do it and I have not yet found out how to do it. If you figure it out, post here and I will edit this post.
Here's what to do:
http://www.ea.com/ealink/
-You will either need to click "get into the nation" to log in (top right)
or
-Click your user name (top right)
---My account (if you are already logged in. My password is different for ealink than ea.com, yours might be, too.)
----Downloads info
-----Then put in the bf2 soldier name you want associated with the booster.
Click ok.
You are done.
Minutes later:
This should do it:
-https://profile.ea.com/myinfoprofile.do (This should take you to the page that has your ea personas on it. For some reason I have four, yours may vary.)
--Click "edit BF2 soldier name"
---Type in the new name you want associated with the boosters. Click OK.
Note that you will only be able to play with one account linked to the booster at a time. If you want to change names, you have to do this process all over again.
Where is the muscle car?This award is not 25 hours as US forces in a combination of Vanilla/SF/AF, it is 25 hours in a North American battle ground. That is: just the AF Maps. So you must collect 25 hours of playtime in Armored Fury, and have 1 second in each of the three maps. If you still don't have the award, the stats system is either slow or EA is being stupid. Wait for it to show up. If it never does show up, just sit back and realize it's pixels on your computer screen that takes no skill to get, so who cares?
I purchased the boosters over ealink, but now I can't figure out how to reinstall them, what do I do?The Muscle car is located at each main spawn point on Operation Road Rage (16 player size only)
On Midnight Sun it is located at the gas station directly south of the construction office flag on all sizes of the map.
I play Armored Fury almost exclusively and not a day goes by that I don't see someone asking where the car is.
Make sure you check out Midnight Sun - The Movie, which features the muscle car in one of the shorts.
Download this and it should get you back in service.
