I downloaded the demo today.

As for the Ads, they inevitable, just like death and taxes.
As technology changes ads will adapt.
Basically, if you look at it regularly, someone will eventually sell it as ad space.
There are ads on gas pump handles, and ads on the divider things that separate your groceries from the next person…you get the idea.

Wouldn't it be fun to see a Dell or Alienware ad painted on the side of an Enemy Titan?

Adware: software application in which advertisements are displayed while the program is running, esp. in pop-up windows or banners, and which often is installed without the user's knowledge or consent.

Spyware: any software that covertly gathers information about a user while he/she navigates the Internet and transmits the information to an individual or company that uses it for marketing or other purposes

They're using both


Quote:
there is a printed disclaimer that comes with the game telling you that Battlefield 2142 will analyze certain "advertising data" on your machine to determine what ads to display to you. Ironically, EA says that if you don't want your data shared with its advertising partner then "do not install or play the software on any platform that is used to connect to the Internet." But that would pretty much defeat the purpose of playing Battlefield 2142, wouldn't it?

It has recently been announced that the game will ship with Dynamic Advertising, this system is featured in games such as Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and SWAT 4, which means changing adverts on objects such as billboards in-game. There is also comfirmed spyware that is bundled with the game that monitors your browsing preferences, to assist in the Dynamic Advertising. This is very unpopular with gamers, who consider advertising in games they pay for wrong.

the only Bug I noticed in BF2142 so far is the occasional Crash back to Desktop.

It doe not happen as often as BF2.

Anyone else having that problem?

Some days would be fine with the demo and others I would get frequent disconnects from the EA Master Server.

People with the retail version are still experiencing this problem.

Don't think i'll bother getting this game.

That game I'm actually looking forward to.
BF2142 isn't something I care to invest it, I bought 3 copies of BF2 to play on different computers, that company yank me around, patches that didn't fix anything, empty servers due to $10 upgrades that should be apart of patches, a retarded company that has a terrible concept of how games should be. Great game concept, decent execution, terrible company, bugs upon bugs in the game. That thing still doesn't work on ANY of the 3 computers I own since 1.3 patch

I just found out that they simplified the vehicle controls in BF2142.

BF2 supposidly had realistic flight controls.
I have not played BF2 but I did play PlanetSide.
The most annoying thing to me was the fact that any aircraft controls were basicly standard FPS controls WASD with a Z axis and delayed acceleration/deceleration. So air combat was pretty much the same as ground combat.

BF2142 is a step backwards for vehical combat IMHO.
I have seen several commercials for Microsoft Flight Simulater 10 on the Millitary Channel. That looks great. And it has Multiplayer mode where you ca n co-pilot with a friend.
Oh well. If my friends get into BF2142 Ill probably get it.

It was a joke in a forum, my post was meant to be informative in a place that is meant to be just that (unlike your post)

I’m all for awesome FPS (even if they are a bit of a rehash), l don’t even mind the ad-ware so much. My problem is with the spyware.

You may want to shy away from the violent games, as they can have an impact on impressionable noobs Fgo

Tis gonna be C&C. They're working a C&C 3 which is gonna basically be a new version of tiberium sun. The UK version of PC Gamer had a preview of it two months ago and had some early screenshots that looked absolutely amazing!!!!!

Frontlines: Fuel of War is the game to get. Will own 2142 in every way.

BF2 looked cool and played really poorly. Poor sound, poor physics, poor weapon balance. Desert Combat was and still has far better gameplay. BF2 is a spamfest of boring proportions.

Lol, and someone on this thread talked about tank-whoring in BF2... Tanks in BF2 are a joke. You couldn't have a tank battle anymore than you could have sex in a monastary, they just didn't think about tanks when they made the game.

Thank God Desert Conflict is coming out:
