This is what you need to agree to before installing BF2142



The Software may incorporate technology developed by IGA Worldwide
Inc. ("IGA") (the "Advertising Technology"). The purpose of the
Advertising Technology is to deliver in-game advertisements to you when
you use the Software while connected to the Internet. When you use the
Software while connected ot the Internet, the Advertising Technlogy may record your IP address and other anonymouse information ("Advertising Data"). The
Advertising Data is temporarily used by IGA to enable the presentation
and measurement of in-game advertisements and other in-game objects
which are uploaded temporarily to your personal computer or game
console and changed during online game play. The Advertising
Technology does not collect any personally identifiable information
about you, and EA will not provide IGA with any of your personally
identifiable information. The servers used by the Advertising
Technology may, from time to time, be located outside your country of
residence. If you are located within the European Union, the servers
may be located outside the EU.

By installing and using the
Software, you agree to: (I) the transfer of the Advertising Data to
servers located outside your country of residence and, if applicable,
outside the European Union; (ii)the collection and use of the
Advertising Data as described in this Section; and (iii) the delivery
of advertising and marketing content by the Advertising Technology. IF
YOU DO NOT WANT IGA TO COLLECT, USE, STORE, OR TRANSMIT THE DATA
DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, DO NOT INSTALL OR PLAY THE SOFTWARE ON ANY
PLATFORM THAT IS USED TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET.



So after spending $50.00 you must agree to this or not play. Funny they dont mention this pre purchase. Glad I didnt pre order :P

Im perfectly fine with advertisments as an option and as long as they arent out of place, but I want my game FREE.

If im paying for it, I dont want ads.

I doubt that will apply outside of the US. If only because the marketing muppets will not want American companies attracting "their" customers.

I agree with Anach. Adverts are fine if the game is free but I won't be installing any such games on my computers.

I hope this is a very brief fad.

Aye I read that :). We usually get a localised version along with localised EULAs and often another publisher so I thought that it might differ over here.
