Fix for GameSpy/EA Master Account login shutdown
Complete Game Fix, Master Server Replacement > Battlefield2142.co
The lack of the EA Master Account login leaves the game in an unplayable state for a fresh install, due to being unable to create an offline account. Installs created before the shutdown remain unaffected although the game will only go to an offline account login when it finds no internet connection (LAN or other connection has to be completely turned off in the OS).
For a fresh install use this fix which creates a generic profile which will allow offline account login. Be sure to disable the internet adapter before each login, blocking the game with a firewall won't get past the online check.
