No Clan Tags?

[Diva]

I guess what im hearing from some people is your EA account is your gamename? is that correct and there is no way to change it or put on your clan tags?

Is this true? and if it is will there be something updated in the patch to solve this issue.

my name was sexydiva but now i am supersexydiva ;) and I cant be (TNT)supersexydiva, actually just want to be (TNT)diva

har har

Are EA even aware that there are clans out there playing the game?

Was that ever mentioned to them that clan tags were important????


We're talking EA here, the ones that didn't even know they needed dedicated server files a few weeks before the game was released.

If that's true, that just sucks. How the hell do you forget that? Unbelievable:mad: .

[romeozor]

well if they are as half as smart as the guys over at id, they'll put in an extra textbox for the clan name :)

I played last night for about 2 hours on a couple of different servers that were up. I was stunned that I had to use my EA account name as my player name. Several people were complaining about it on the servers. Also, on Remagan, it kept spawning the axis in the exact same spot, even with an allied solider camping right beside the spot. Several people got so frustrated with the ease of spawn raping that they left the game entirely. Also, because of the more textured and detailed maps, it provided many new places for people to camp out in. Not much run-and-gun fighting, but alot of slow, advancing, searching type game play. The weapons are decent, but because they had more recoil, and were jumping around a bit when fired, it made for lots of funny fights where guys were a few feet apart but completely missed each other after firing full clips.

I am not sure this will be a very popular game. I have been playing MOHAA and Spearhead for many years, and this new game did not impress me much at all. I was really looking forward to it too.

Yup... nasty little twist EA threw in there... I don't even want to play online cause my registration went straight to my EA account which is my actual initials and last name - like I want some nasty little turdball online knowing that after I hand him and his hacker buddies their heads on Remagen? No way to change it, no way to use the pseudonyms you may have linked, no way to use clan tags... No way am I gonna play this one until that update comes out - good thing the single player IS a lot of fun :undecided

This sucks. Like Diva, I had to use another form of OldDog because some half-wit thinks they're the old dog...<sigh>...little do they know.

Ditto.... another half-wit used my nickname too. EA is only contributing to the grief.

Will EA listen?? We shall see.

[TheLini]

Oh this just sucks..

Ok logging in with your user account name, but at least let us change our names..

With BF2142 they got it right, login with those details then create a soldier(s) with what ever name(s) you want...


COME EA.. Get it right.. I don't want to play with my account name, it's not my ingame name..

[MajorWoody]

There's only one MajorWoody... *sigh* and someone took my name.

BF2 and 2142 were this way too. Eventually BF2 added the clan tag option. Maybe this will be part of the first patch *crosses fingers*

[OldDog]

Maybe this will be part of the first patch *crosses fingers*

Maybe...since the patch seems to MP oriented. Clan tags are an MP issue, after all. Won't do Diva, Mike, and I any good, though, unless they allow a screen name in lieu of EA login name.

[BIZARRE]

Like you guys, I'm in the same position.

I'm feeling the developers of Airborne were/are very console oriented, it seems so far what is missing are all items that make an online pc game what it is. I mean, how on earth they forgot or believed pc gamers would be happy with listen servers only, and limited to 12 players at that. The Server List has very limited filters and no name search function. Creating a server has no options for any sort of map rotation too. It screams "console" from the rafters of Destroyed Villages church.

Where's the buddy list too?

Same with clan tags and player names. The same problems occured with BF2 and 2142, a severly limited character set, and a stupidly short player name and tag space too.

My prefered in game name would be <WikingClan>BIZARRE

BIZARRE has been taken, and that had been taken going right back to the days of ea accounts and gamespy accounts overlapping.

WikingClan was too long for a clan tag in BF2/2142, so we had to find other ways around it.

<> brackets don't work either, they're considered illegal characters.

So what do I do, well, I managed to get a player ID of wikingbizarre. Close, but like the rest of you, not close enough.

I could go on, but this is a clan tags thread, so I'll leave it at that.

Laters guys, BIZ.

I write these few annoyances discovered today in the MP game with the hope that the EA folks who read this great website forum will take note. Or, at the least a good modder will take this into consideration when modding a dedicated server game.

1. If you are on a server, and want to exit for another server, the game takes you all the way back to the main menu, not MP server menu. Time consuming and annoying.
2. The game does not remember your login, so you have to type in login and password everytime you fire up the game. Time consuming and annoying.
3. When you sort servers by PB, Full, etc..., your choices are not saved. So when you want to sort out private servers, you have to check the little star everytime. Time consuming and annoying.
4. On ADM an OA, Allies parachuting in puts the axis at an unfair disadvantage. Axis spawn points are awful, and require lots of running to get in the action. But allies, can land anywhere on the map very quickly.
5. When you are killed, only the name of the person who kills you is displayed. It used to be, you could tell what type of weapon he used. Very difficult to tell if you were sniped or smg'd. The more info the better.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to me whine!

As of right now, this doesn't sounds good. I saw many threads like that in forum like FPSAdmin, TotalAirborne, EA, and never did I saw BlackHat answering. Maybe we will have to wait for the second patch...:X

I played about 2, or so, hours, MP, on a couple of listen servers on Sunday. I really liked the game, although I was still getting mouse lag, big time. The maps are great...it was very enjoyable to play "The Hunt" and "Remagen" again, but this time actually using the buildings to their fullest.

I had heard/seen something about G5s/G7s possibly having a problem (can't remember where I saw this), so I'm going to try a regular, plain, old cabled laser mouse. I have a G5 that is balanced for my mouse work, and buttoned the way I like it, but the lag was driving me nuts. The other thing I didn't like, and don't like in any game, is that "G" for grenade s%*t. Hey, there ain't that many weapons in WWII that you still can't use the "5" key for grenades...whatever...<whine>.

It is not the mouse... I use them too and the G15's... No trubs from them.

Try resolution changes.
