There is two common solutions. One is you buy the online pass(if still available) for about 2.99 USD or you could wait until the game says that online gaming is available without online pass. There is one other way but very not reccommended, is that you buy the collectors edition from a start, like me but I bought the collectors edition in the first place.
@silverknight - Thanks, I'll try doing everything in that order. I'll let you know how it turns out.
@demoncrusherz - I don't have the option to purchase the Online Pass, otherwise I would have done so to save myself from further aggravation. As far as your suggestion to purchase the Collector's Edition goes, I did purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition from the start.
I just got another e-mail from EA Customer Support in my inbox as I'm typing this reply so hopefully between their response and the total uninstall/re-install suggestion, I will be back online killing some Reapers soon...
