You can block the ads easy enough, the only one I've seen is an ad for Intel CPU's.

Avoid this game and do not waste your money.

I've played the BF games since 1942's demo, and this is the worst as far as network play. I frequently get disconnected with the message "ERROR" and no description. I'll put a full clip into someone's face point blank and still get killed with a pistol despite a ping of 20. The server browser STILL SUCKS and tells you there's open spots when there aren't any.

Don't wait for a patch that won't fix the bugs, you know they won't anyway. Save your money even if you're a veteran BF player and spend it on QW. That game at least deserves a fair shake, seeing how DICE still can't get their act together after 4 games with the same crappy bugs.

Ah, I feel better.

I like the idea of the Titan being crippled after the shields are down. Works.

Before bf2142 was released, bf2 averaged the 25k players. Now, it still averages the same. So, what hell happened? People don't exactly play the same game at the same time.

So this probably means that the bf2 players know what this game is all about, and a new array of players have joined the franchise. Either way, don't see another explanation for the numbers..

Well, so far there are no ads.... I don't know when they will add them. I'm hoping that they scrap that plan.

On the other hand, the game itself is pretty awesome. I bitched a lot, hell probably more than most of you guys, but I'm having a total BLAST playing it, it's my #1 game right now. Also, with their levelling system, I'd be surprised to stop playing because of those ads ...

1) glad I didn't buy it

2) Is it just me or is there very little hype or talk about BF2142? I wonder how sales are for it? Slow?

Game is definitely more fun than bf2. But be warned when all the lead is flying you better have a good computer. I am not a fan of titan mode but conquest in this game is great, seems more focused on infantry battles.

Ya I was just going to post that. I didn't buy BF2142 because I was pretty disgusted by the in game ads. Unfortunantly, it seems like it doesn't matter, because there are tons of people who bought the game and don't seem to mind. Oh well... I guess we can expect all future BF games to have in-game ads :/
