What they said was it gives away your IP and your web browseing history and some other stuff.
Well guess who is now not getting it.
Someone give E.A a cookie, i suppose you can pull this crap when you own the rights to everything...

EA can know the porn sites (Straight you f*cks. I swear one gay joke and I kill someone.) I go to, and the forums I read. I don't give a sh*t. As for IP address, they already have that anyways.

Run a spyware remover and there's no issue.
As for the game. I'm loving it.

As for the Spyware, I think its f*cking stupid and anyone who supports it is stupid, you do realise their STILL going to rollout addons for it and still charge as much as BF2 Euro Force and Armored Fury, mix that WITH the money they make from the adverts... thats bullsh*t.

If you go to NetworkSolutions and WHOIS the IP Address you will get:
WHOIS Record For
72.3.184.153
Record Type: IP Address
IGA Technologies, LLC RSPC-68993-1122139655 (NET-72-3-184-144-1)
72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159
IGA is IGA Worldwide and they handle the ads.
!!!Gotcha!!!
Possible solutions is to block port 17475 or better yet block ip address range 72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159.

the thing is simple, EA/Dice make a *mod* which normally is NOT better then the community made ones, and sell it for top dollar as if it was actually different... If you aren't following me on this, then picture Doom3 Releasing a Special addition with 2-3 added weapons, no new features, and charging you 50 dollars for it when in reality, its only worth 20-30 at launch, Tops.
Does this make sense? f*ck No, Take Armored Fury and Euro Force expansions for example with BF2, it was released at a launch fee of 10 dollars, no new content, few new guns, and that was all, where was Special Forces added completely new unlocks, weapons, gameplay structures and features in general such as grapple hooks and ziplines.
Battlefield 2 Sold well Because most of it was designed by the Team which made Desert Combat, another highly successful mod for BF1942, Dice loved the idea so much they hired the team to work on BF2, and that is why it is so popular.
The thing that gets me is the price, as I said, its 49.99 at EBGames, + tax right... So picture this, instead of actually making a good game, and selling a sh*tload of copies like with BF1942 or BF2, they make a crap MOD, yes, a MOD, and add a nipple to it, so EA can suck it like a baby with breastmilk, the nipple I reffer to being ingame advertising...
In-Game Adverts are the same thing as regular. there is NO difference except I'm guessing you cant click on them unless they implemented an ingame web-browser, in which case I would laugh until I died, but the money they make will be more then the game actually sells for, can you say... Greedy?
The Reaon Question you have to ask yourself is simple.
Is a mod Worth the 50 Dollars + Tax + Spyware for In-Game Ads? The Question is just as simple, No.

For me it was $40 and no spyware or ingame adds. So yes, it's worth it to me. I actually like the gameplay of 2142 over BF2. I honestly never cared for BF2. Jets and helichopters were way overpowered, even against antiair emplacements. A helichopter shouldn't take 3 hits to down with f*cking antiair missiles at 20ft. And if you think about it, every entry in the series of Battlefield is basically a mod. It's just slightly modified from the last game. But if you look at most game series, that's what they are. You don't drastically change a winning formula. Halo series, Soul Caliber, Doom, Quake, UT, C&C, Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, they all pretty much stick to the same formula minus a few graphical and technological innovations. Yet, people don't b*tch nearly as much about it.
I love 2142 so far. I love the vehicals especially. The vehicals are more balanced this time around with the active defense. Making vehicals a little more skill based and not hulking giants of mass destruction.
Anyone that says the walkers are useless, all I really have to say is, god you must suck at that game. I've gone on so many 15+ kill rampages with that thing it's rediculous. And not just infantry, I've taken out 2 tanks at once with that thing. You just have to learn the active defense and when best to use it.
But whatever, I'm still going to be playing this game for a long time.
