Pain in the *** registration scheme

This pack works by attaching itself to your online account, which is different from your screen name. If you don't have it all straight, it won't work. An example of anti piracy punishing the paying customers.

Registration Problems

We tried to install this expansion pack several times. I e-mailed EA Games and they did not return my e-mail. I did call them (NO toll-free telephone number available) and spoke with a very nice man who offered a couple solutions. One solution involved going to the EAGames website and getting a patch "EA - 1.41 Full Patch". This did not work. Another solution involved UNinstalling the original Battlefield 2 (with Special Forces), but we were uncertain whether my account would be lost. So we are now returning this expansion pack. Amazon was easy to work with in handling this return. We will probably go to the EAGames website and download the product rather than deal with a CD. It shouldn't be this difficult.

It looks like you have to pay to play!

I like B2 very much! But when I bought the booster pack and got it installed I found out they wanted a credit card number to bill to when you connect to their server to play the game you bought from them. I have been in contact with EA games and still haven't, and most likely won't, ever get a resolution to the issue!

Registration is a bummer

Bought the expansion pack with the hopes of playing some new maps with new weapons and vehicles... but instead I'm been doing the run around trying to register my product. Customer service is trying to be helpful but I still haven't it gotten to work which is crazy. I'd say skip this expansion. You only get a few more weapons and some small maps. I don't see that it's worth the hassel of registering the product.

Don't waste your money!

I will never buy another product from EA. This "booster pack" is nothing more than a few mediocre maps with recycled guns to go along with it. If that was not bad enough, no one actually plays the new maps anyway. You'll be hard pressed to find a game with more than 25 people in it.

and to top it off, you need to log onto EA's website to register the packs to ONE ALIAS you have from BF2. So if you and your siblings play, or you have more than one Alias, you can only play any of the bonus content on one of them.

Not to mention, EA's website has some serious problems, and out of all of the games I've registered, this one has been by far, hands down, the WORST. It took several tries attempting to get EA to recognize the CD-Key I entered.

EA is the devil and gamers should boycott their games.

Save your money...

To call the registration process a nightmare is an act of extreme kindness. I am an IT professional, yet have spent several hours just trying to get the expansion pack to work, without success. Unless you just have nothing to do all day, find a different game.

EA's Shameful Registration Process

The Battlefield 2 Booster Pack Collection has a ridiculously complicated registration process. I regret having made the purchase. Potential purchasers should just say "NO" to Electronic Arts for treating software customers like this!

EA hits a new low

I wouldn't recommend anything by EA ever. Their tech support barely speaks any kind of english and it's very likely that you will have to call their tech support. Good luck at getting any real help. I can safely say this because I have called them many times over this very game right here. I log on to my EA account to check any updates on my problem and find none. It's been 3 days and they claimed that I will have something in 24 hours. Even though I can log in to send them emails and check the status of my problem, when I try to log onto their EA download manager it says that there isn't an account with that email address. It's the same email address!!! In short, I paid $15.00 for this game and got nothing more than a box without any software. They are, by far, the worse software company that I have ever dealt with, microsoft included.

PS... I see that amazon is going to make me give them a rating of at least one star. I would prefer to give them a rating of zero.

When I bought this title for 39.99, the original without all the expansions was right next to it for 9.99. If I had known that the expansions require
an internet account to access, I would have saved 30 bucks. I paid for the original and the expansions and can only access the original due to their
short-sighted copy protection scheme. I bought this game for the SP, my connection will not work for MP. I feel cheated. Never fear though, I WILL
find a way to access what I paid for ;)

Do not buy the Booster Pack!!

I've already wasted major hours trying to install the booster pack to no avail. I've been asked all kinds of passwords (none worked) and ended up uninstalling BF2 altogether. Lucky for me I have BF2 installed on two pc's so I was able to still run my original BF2 on the other one. I've never seen such a complicated way of installing a program. It is enfuriating, stupid, cumbersome and a waste of time.

Customer support?? hahaha... good luck. you need passwords for that too.

BF2 is a great game but some idiots at EA really got away with lunacy.
