Battlefield 2042

[Misketis.D]

7th Cav ID from Steam does not fit in the Origin username space provided. What modifications, if any, can be made to the 7th Cav ID so that I can have it displayed in BF 2042?

Garcia.SM Rav.T Wildfire.N Burgundy.C

 

[Keif.A]

-7cav-rank-name-initial first name initial may not fit this is how we are doing it until clan tags is released or platoon feature is added

 

[Burgundy.C Esq.]

how many letter short are you?

 

[Budd.D]

For the HLL Console, their Team17 ID only allows 15 characters but they we have a 4 character clan tag.

RNK.LastName.FirstInitial [7Cav]

CPT.Budd.D [7Cav]

Not sure if this helps at all

 

[Kastor.K]

Historically, we've done -7Cav-KastorK as minimum for BF3/BF4, stick the rank in if you got enough characters.

 

[Rav.T]

Maybe just 7CavRNKLast?

 

[Garcia.SM]

To be honest, I'm torn between Kastor and Rav's proposals.

I've heard you can't put hyphens in Origin names. Is that true?

 

[Keif.A]

no i have them

 

[Kastor.K]

I've heard you can't put hyphens in Origin names. Is that true?

you can't use our traditional equal signs or almost any other special character, but you can use the hyphen "-"

I also remembered that we did the no-rank -7Cav-LastN format because you only could change Origin names so often.

Ah that makes sense then. Yeah I'd keep out the rank then.

 

[Misketis.D]

=7Cav=RCT.Misketis.D <- this is my 7Cav ID.
=7Cav=RCT.Misket <- this is what fits in the Origin space provided.
What could I change this to?

 

[Kastor.K]

=7Cav=RCT.Misketis.D <- this is my 7Cav ID.
=7Cav=RCT.Misket <- this is what fits in the Origin space provided.

If you were to follow formatting we used in previous iterations of Battlefield, change it to -7Cav-MisketisD

 

[Garcia.SM]

I very much like the idea of -7Cav-LastN

It should be able to work for the large majority of names.

 

[Whitfield.L]

EFT runs it just like that - 7Cav_LastnameFirstInitial

[Rav.T]

-7Cav-Last? Sounds good? I just don't like the hyphens since it takes up space. Longer last names won't fit.

 

[Kastor.K]

-7Cav-Last? Sounds good? I just don't like the hyphens since it takes up space. Longer last names won't fit.

It's part of our online identity and our uniform. The historical clantag is =7Cav=, the hyphens are already a concession. We're required to wear clantags by General Orders.

yeah, but EFT doesn't allow hyphens either IIRC.

Historically in Battlefield,

When I launched Bad Company 2 which did not have a platoons / companies / clans feature at release we went with

-7Cav-Name

This of course was back when folks didn't have "real names" and so I was -7Cav-OSOK, but even now there's not that many folks that share a name so it rarely causes any issues.

Please try to use -7Cav-LName.F where possible.
