While most here are not FPS gamers the Battlefield series is popular, and I thought someone might appreciate knowing this. Battlefield 2142 is due out this week.

There is something you should know about BF 2142 before you buy it.

On a peculiar note, even though the world is ending in 2142, it appears that advertising will still be around. Battlefield 2142 features in-game ads, though we didn't get to see them firsthand during our testing. Still, 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?



BF 2142 installs spyware on your computer and sends the information it gathers to ad companies, who then determine what in-game ads are displayed and you pay full retail price!

The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.
