From Broken Toys;
"Apparently, during the configuration process of Comrade, a duplicate soldier is mistakenly created in the Battlefield 2142 account server and becomes the only soldier you can login to with that name. Of course, this pod-soldier is fresh off the vine and doesn’t know how to use things like, say, grenades, but hey, you can’t overthrow the Battlefield bourgeoisie if you’re sitting on a stat horde of your own now can you?"Unfortunately the answer seems to be deleting one of the two accounts. Basically if you gained a bunch of points on one they are gone... forever. You would think that they would FIX the problem instead of just diverting people around it. This is another sad tale in the launch of BF 2142.
I don't know why gamers are buying this game anymore. The news has to have reached them now that this is a bloated, unfinished, and horribly overated game. Just wait... I know why gamers are buying this. Because they rationalize all the reactions to the bullshit by simply saying; "Oh people are just overreacting and I enjoy the game." The sad fact is that the majority of gamers are dumb and could care less what part of their soul they have to sell to play the latest game.
It is depressing that the gaming community is voting with two big thumbs up for BF 2142. It has only encouraged EA to take the next step. Not only is it bad for EA, but it is bad for the entire industry. These same dumb gamers that buy games regardless of the bullshit attached will be the same dumb gamers that just stop buying crappy products out of boredom and it will be the crash of '83 all over again.
Digg this!
