Well, I'm one of those people who did not purchase BF2142. This is mainly due to EA's poor patching and nerfing of BF2. I was on the fence about getting 2142, but then I read about the whole ad system and the possible requirement to remove some security patches from Windows, and it was enough to dissuade me from getting it. If EA had done a better job with BF2 and not included this ad system, I would have purchased this game. I have 32 people on my x-fire list, which is a mix of CSS, WOW, and BF2 players, and I have only seen one person playing BF2142. Hopefully (but doubtfully) EA learns a lesson from this: if you provide poor support and a spying ad system, consumers will show you how they feel by spending their money elsewhere.
