Bad Company 2 Steam ID

[hbomb dawg]

Hi, in order for me to get a Steam ID, will I have to uninstall my BC2 and re install through Steam? I have a disc. I'm currently through EA (Orgin) Thanks P.S I really enjoy playing on your server.

Hey, bomb! Good to see you on the forums!

Check your forum Private Messages. I sent you something.

 

[Tikkun Olam]

Send it to me too! I've got the same situation.

Welcome hbomb dawg! I was gaming with you earlier today. Feel free to introduce yourself to all eGO members while in game.

Skagnatti! Send it to me too!

 

[hbomb dawg]

Thanks Sub.bass, I will do that.

 

[Skagnatti]

Give this little informative Steam ID section we have a once over. We usually use it for new members that play Source games.




Going here is another method to try and find the ID. You can find the URL for your profile by going to your main Steam profile page and simply copy / pasting the URL above your profile name.

Thanks Skags,

But this is the thing. I've got a Steam account that my son uses for his Star Wars games (and opening it, I realise I bought the Half-Life series 2 years ago and never played it) but I don't run BF2 through it. I can set up a shortcut in the library, but that's not the same thing, right?

I can set up a steam account just for me, but I'm not sure what the utility of it would be as far as BF2 since they don't talk. Do they? Or is MAUL something that EGO uses outside of any one game somehow?

Sorry to be so dense...lol.

And Welcome HBomb Dawg!

You're the one's got me to asking, and I never even said hello. :]

 

[hbomb dawg]

Thanks Yoomanist and hello to you

I don't have BC2 from Steam but have a Steam account.

How I found my Steam ID:
In editing my Steam profile I've figured out that the url for my "Custom Profile" is what the Steam ID Finder is looking for. It looks incomplete with an open space

http://steamcommunity.com/id/ /edit

I figured maybe I'm supposed to fill in that blank[?] so I did and put that number into the Find my Steam ID box and it gave me a Steam ID! That number was put in the Maul box for Steam ID and my data was successfully updated.

I hope this helps someone!

No, making a hame shortcut to a non-Steam game is not the same as having it on Steam right away, it is just a shortcut.

At the moment MAUL is an admin tool used just by source games, that is CS, TF2, and DoD. Other than that it doesn't affect any other games, so unless you plan to play any of the above you don't need to worry about getting MAUL verified. In other words if you just play Bad Company 2 then there is no need for you to set up your MAUL.

Hey thanks Skagnatti and SlickDevel, I now have my Steam and Maul ID updated Cool !!!

 

[Tikkun Olam]

Maybe I shouldn't have set up a custom url, because this is what I get:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/yoomanist/

Oh well, if it's not really important I'm gonna sit on my hands and forget it. :]

 

[Tikkun Olam]

Hbomb dawg set me straight so I've got my id now....

Since I don't own any of the source games though, how do I find/join a server to verify it?

 

[Skagnatti]

You can download TF 2 or DOD:S and play that ok one of our servers for about 15 min.

Then you should be verified.

Thanks Skagnatti, I'll do that.

That's a big game! Is 3.2 Mb/s the normal highest download speed on Steam?

Thanks Skagnatti, I downloaded TF 2 and played on one of the servers and it did verify my Steam ID !!!! Man what a long DL that was
