Changing account details!
---------------------------------
I have discovered a way to change the details associated with your BF2 nickname. Some people may have already known this but it seems that most don’t. This is a list of the details you can change:
1) Go to the GameSpy login page
2) Under the “Existing Users – Log in Here” section: leave the first box selected and enter your email (the one associated with your bf2 account) and your bf2 account password
3) One logged in click ‘Update Profile”
4) The next part is self explanatory: enter the details you want changed, you will have to fill in your name and Postal/Zip code (don’t panic you don’t receive an junk mail)
5) Once finished enter your current password and click “Save and Finish”
You may have noticed that there is a nickname field. I made a test account (so I did not screw up my other account) and tried this out. It did not work, it looked like it was going to but it didn’t.
It has occurred to me, however, that it may take time to update on the servers. If this is the case then I will let you know ASAP.
The final step is to delete your account (from the log in screen on BF2) and retrieve it again, this will update your profile and it's information
Before I get any more PM's or people adding me on Xifre i need to sa this: As far as i know it is not possible to change your BF2 account name. I know, for sure that it is possible to change your email address but i am not 100% sure that the other details will work, i will get back to you ASAP
