" Battlefield gamers beware: by opening a copy of Battlefield 2142 and
participating in a game requiring Internet access, you're agreeing to
have Electronic Arts and one of their in-game advertising associates,
IGA Worldwide, study you. A printed disclaimer provided with the game
states the game will be monitoring "advertising data" to determine
what ads are serviced to individual players.

What if you don't want to become part of EA's little lab experiment?
The publisher recommends you "do not install or play the software on
any platform that is used to connect to the Internet." Kind of defeats
the purpose of playing Battlefield 2124 in the first place, thought,
doesn't it? And there doesn't appear to be an alternative solution. "
