Right, it seems anyone who logins with their current BF2 name gets this:

The Screenname you have entered already exists in our database. Please correct the error and try again or check out our support site for further information
If you try to use a taken name you get this:

BF2 Soldier Name already used by another playe
There is a difference, if you get the top one it doesn't mean your name is taken.

I get the bottom message, but it doesn't make sense that somebody would have it already.
Unless, what somebody else said is true.
If it is registered in BF2, you can't have it unless that registered name is yours.
That would make sense... But I don't want to have to lose my name because of soemthing that dumb. And the BF2 "Slaythem" has less than 100 points.

I wish we had some info on how big of a tag they'll allow...
I would register "them" and add "=[4th]=Slay" in the prefix.

I can't find any link to get some email technical support from EA.. anyone know where I can email them about this?

I was able to register my bf2 name for my 2142 name. Although i suppose my name is rather simple.

Well They're going to screw a bunch of people. especially since they aren't allowing you to use special characters in this name reservation.. and only 14 characters? lame if you ask me.

+664|6811|Cologne, Germany

my BF2 name is B.Schuss ( note the dot ). when I tried to register that for 2142 it said my name wouldn't be allowed the dot. So I registered BSchuss and it worked fine.

strange that they would allow the dot in BF2, but not in 2142. Ah, nevermind.

Ok, this is the way it works

You can have your name on BF2142, only if you had it on 2142, and just giving you guys a heads up, your EA account is the one you will be logging into 2142 with, then selecting your characters from there, no doubt if you sign up, and get your name, when you log into 2142 for the first time, your character will already be there

Congratulations, you have successfully signed up as a Veteran. The first time you log in to Battlefield 2142 you will see a confirmation of your Veteran status. See you on the battlefield!
