adz5000 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Any ideas why I have got veteran status on Bad Company 1 and it's demo on the veteran website, but at the top it says veteran status 0 ??? Also I can't claim veteran status on BF:BC2 because when I select it, there is no field to type in my gamertag ??? Any ideas ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I can't claim veteran status on BF:BC2 because when I select it, there is no field to type in my gamertag ??? Any ideas ??? They were supposed to update BFBC2 and BF1943 automatically without you having to type anything in, but they haven't even got it to work with 1943 yet, so I don't know when they will add BFBC2 automatically. FYI: I have the M1 Garand and according to the site I have a Vet Rank of 2. I've played BF2MC, BFBC1 and BFBC1 Demo. I also played BFBC2 and BF1943 but they don't show up.

Apexeus Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 To get Veteran status for Bad Company 2, you need to do it through the official website; badcompany2.ea.com (sections of it are down due to high traffic). When it's working again, login and select My Soldier, you can manually do it there. 1943's Veteran status can be updated by using the EA Support features (support.ea.com/chat), you can also get BF1942 added that way (you need a valid CD Key though). @Adz - Thats the way veteran status works. The first game you add, you do not go up in rank, when you add game number 2, you will be Veteran +1, game 3 = Veteran +2 etc etc. The demo does not matter (neither do the expansion packs for the others). @Slacky - Have you played BF1943? Im sure the M1 Garand is only for those who played that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackydave Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 yea im sure i've played it, its in my achievements list, full 200g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract1620 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) im uber frustrated. ive linked my gamertag to my EA acct. But (i guess) because ive changed my name since ive played these games i cant get veteran status for them. Same gamertag just names changed. I find my old names on the leaderboards for each game, but it will only let me link active gamertags to my ea acct. I dont understand the fail here. When i popped in BC1 it already knew i had played the demo, and was a veteran of bf2mc. Didnt have to do a thing. any help? ok so i feel the need to mention some of the name changes were not voulentary(sp) EDIT: Conf that ea live customer support will fix this for you, but the link in this thread is no good. started at @ 9 pm est on a monday took about 40 mins total. I have my MI but it doesnt show me as a veteran, wtfever. Edited March 10, 2010 by abstract1620 they fixed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakePlasticTree Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Their site is getting pounded with traffic. They have stated a few times that things make take a while to work properly. I'm frustrated with it too, but nothing we can do but wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II M1CK3H II Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Go to ea.support.com/chat and tell the guy who responds to change your rank to veteran, as the website doesnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediumMelanin Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yeah, the site's currently down (well that certain section for Vet. status...>_>) hope they fix it soon, as I would love that M1 Garand to my WWII collection! and don't bother with chat, it'll take 30 mins. minimum to connect with an agent...

Pyrochaos Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Easy wat to get veteran status: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=957917&topic=53758626 - Set up your EA Account (either through EA.com or by playing BC2 online for the first time). - Download the Battlefield 2 PC Demo ( from http://www.filefront.com/3876613/The-Battlefield-2-Demo/ ) - Install the demo, launch it, and follow the in-game steps to create a new BF2 online account. - Quit the game. You don't need to play a full match, first -- all I did was select the first available server from the multiplayer lists, and then quit immediately afterwards. - Go to http://veteran.battlefield.com and log in using your EA Account credentials. Register your BF2 online account -- one down, one to go. - Go to the Battlefield Heroes website (http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/) and create a new hero under your existing EA account credentials - Return to http://veteran.battlefield.com and confirm that the BF:Heroes emblem has appeared as well Congratulations! You are now "Veteran Status 1" and will receive the Garand when you next sign in to BC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackydave Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I already have a veteran status of level 1 though thats why I don't understand why I haven't unlocked the garand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apexeus Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Because you probably don't have Veteran Status for BF1943, it has to be done manually by the EA support line, which has been posted more then once in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it take get 1943 Vet Status through the support way? Can you do BC2 this way too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taiyz Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 slackydave, which of you played the game first? I'm also a Veteran, but I first played BC2 a few hours after one of my friends did...His Veteran status was recognized and he got his M1 Garand and Veteran rank icon, where-as mine wasn't (I also didn't get the gamer picture that the LE is supposed to give you.) I have a feeling this is because they've shut down certain features of the Veteran status service (anybody with a Veterank rank icon just has an empty white box right now; their number isn't shown) in between the time my friend and I first booted up our copies. So if you played the game after your friend, then my hypothesis is right and they disabled the Battlefield Veteran program before you were able to claim your rewards, but after your friend got his.

I am already veteran status 1 (BC1 and Heroes, plus I'd have 1943 if I could ever get it to work on the site) and I still do not have the M1 Garand.

Juneaux Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 How do you get veteran status? Because I am 200/200 on BF 1943 and I just logged in and it doesn't say I am a veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackydave Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Right i've got the Garand now and it's not to do with 1943. What i had to do was download Battlefield 2 demo on my pc like a guy said up there and this took me veteran games to 3 and increased my veteran status to a 2. Then the next time i logged onto battlefield bad company 2 it said welcome back veteran blah blah blah here is your Garand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wait because Dice believes in the "release it now, fix and patch it later" policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theIncredible Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I had a similar issue with the first Bad Company. It said I never played BF2:MC and I did. Not worth it then not worth it now, seriously a WW2 weapon against a modern one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
