I found this thread on another forum. (JUST AS I WAS GOING TO BUY IT) By now the majority of you will know that BF2142 will include in-game adverts (this is dynamic and will use your bandwidth) what has only just come out are two VERY key pieces of info 1) EA is installing spyware during the BF2142 install to monitor yr computer use to then target ads at you during the game hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=11101742) and this one is more serious! for a majority of ppl a certain MS patch must be un-installed for BF2142 to actually run hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1110428this is actually mentioned in the Demo README and in the actual game README, and documented here www.totalbf2142.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4893As per the patch 1.01, one of the "known issues" is as follows: www.totalbf2142.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4867Players who have the Windows security update KB917422 installed may suffer from an application error when running Battlefield 2142. This error can be solved by uninstalling the KB917422 update. Here's what this security update does: MS06-051: Vulnerability in the Windows kernel could result in remote code execution support.microsoft.com/kb/917422Uninstall this security update at your own risk! You have been warned. The folks over at [H]ardOCP (a respected tech forum/mag) have been trying to contact EA over this and they havn't heard anything back

I tell ya, a lot of developers are making me sick these days and mad . I dont know why they would use a type of spyware to put in-game ads into the game. And then make you uninstall a security update just to run the damn game. Besides which the coding in all of the Battlefield games sucks so badly that they never run very well on anything. 1st of all- Gamers DONT want spyware on their computers 2nd- Gamers DONT want in-game ads 3rd- Gamers want their computers secure in all aspects (uninstalling security updates, No thanks!!) 4th- Gamers want a stable, smooth running game. Looks like EA/Dice has dropped the ball HARD on this one. After the beta fiasco i went through to even play the game, i wont touch it with a 30 Foot pole.

Yeah that is pretty funny Magus. But pretty sad too.
Fuck it! I'm not buying it! All I'd see when I'd play would be ads for porn sites anyway.
Those faceless, bottom line, greedy corporate EA bastards can shove it up their asses!
