Battlefield 2142 Preview

[Veritas]

Well I'm officially skipping this one, after reading this story:

IN-GAME advertising? Frack you too, EA. Frack you too.

This should help shed some light on what that "in-game advertising" is.

Not fully spyware that's on all the time but still...

I am skipping this one to. Plus the first patch is out already. Just like BF2. When they release complete games I'll buy again.

I was going to get this game to hold me off till Quake Wars, but frankly...this is just adding more reasons why I should just skip this game.

Here's a few workarounds:

My hosts file is already thick enough...I heard about the ads but I thought they would be hard-coded ads...I'm already disappointed by the unranked gameplay already, now I have to have ad banners when I'm fragging? Quake Wars can't come soon enough.

Time to shell out money for Half-Life 2 Episode 1. At least that will be more worth my time.

I feel sorry for the people who bought it through EA Downloader.

For those who got it....start adding to that host file.
