They still log enough for me not to want the game (even though I didnt want it in the first place). If it does work like a "website advert" then surely they are tracking more than just location, web habits for example, so they can advertise something you might buy... And just on the subject, why has this game got ingame adverts (other than for EA to make cash), we don't go ingames and while shooting people think, hmm could do with a pair of nike trainers....

Boycot ALL EA products, the only way to make them listen to us the consumer is to stop blindly putting our cash in EA's bank. look at the "add-on's" for BF2, Euro and Armour, total waste of money. Added nothing and very few servers play them anyway. 2142 is an add-on nothing more, don't buy it!

BF2142 is shit, yeah, but no way in hell am I boycotting EA. I'll just say one word: CRYSIS

I DO NOT WANT ANY ADVERTISING AT ALL IN MY GAME. EA INCLUDED. IF I WANTED SOMETHING NEW I WOULD LOOK FOR IT AND BUY IT. THREE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OPT OUT FOR IGA DURRING THE INSTALLATION. AS SUCH I AM RESEARCHING LEGAR ASSISTANCE TO BUILD A CASE FOR IT. IF IGA IS IN I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE GAME FOR FREE. ADVERTISING DOLLARS CAN POP UP ALL THEY WANT IF IF I DO NOT PAY FOR SOMETHIGN. SEING AS HOW I DID PAY I FOR ONE AND A FEW OTHERS WANT IT GONE. WILL BE REG HACKING TONIGHT TO GET THEM OUT.

So normally in the software world, freeware contains advertisments...as soon as you PAY for a registration code, all advertisements are removed. So EA, I paid you $50, i'm a super consumer that buys too much, so stop spamming me if i pay for your product!

Yeah I agree it's retarded to make money on you when you actually shelled out that $50 for the game. Wabsites or freeware crap is totally different ball game.

If the game was more of an MMO style, with regular patches that actually added content, then the ads wouldn't be bad. They would actually be a way for EA to fund the patches without charging the players a monthly fee. That sort of plan I would actually be in favor of, but as it is, the money is probably going to something completely unrelated to the game. And I think everyone understands that it costs money to run the servers, and that development costs are rising. But companies have been able to handle the servers in the past, and it is possible to reduce the cost of producing games rather than just trying to increase revenue.

Fuck EA. Illegaly download all there software please.

Unlike most MMO games BF2's servers are mostly clan/group run, not run by EA. EA have some servers but 99% are paid for clans. EA take our money and give us nothing. Also CRYSIS is made by ubisoft not EA, EA are just the distribitor.

And FYI, most BF2 servers are being run by EA indirectly. They have enforced a set of silly rules which must be met in order for the server to be ranked, which are hardcoded in the executable so they cannot be changed. With the whole ranking system EA has ensured a lot of extra money in their pockets, by keeping the price virtually high through their exclusive ranked-providers.

yes this is bullshit... They make me pay to be spied on and make them even more money ? FUCK THEM !

Yeh BF2412 sucks fucking knob only because the internet setup for it was made by like fucking retards its the hardest shit to get it to work online as i said before fuck those dickheads who designed its online setup
