This place says it does.

Maybe someone can confirm this?

Edit: Just realized the game hasn't been released yet. Feel free to confirm it when it does.

If I do end up buying the game, I am definatley going to try to find a way to remove the spyware. Thats complete bullshit to, cause it's either, let EA put spyware on your comp or dont play the game. What a sad fucking business they run.

Don't over-react. I have been browsing other forums and they are saying that it is just information needed to display ads in-game.

This is similar to browsing online, with those damn games and stuff in the margins. We'll have to wait and see..

Ya, but the fact of the matter is that it scans your cookies. Cookies are used to store everything. They are not just looking at what sites you have been to, but they are looking at your personal information such as: Credit card #'s, Social Security #'s, and everything else that only you should know.

also, when you play a stupid online game with ads, you don't tend to pay 50 fucking dollars for it.  that's what pisses me off.  i'm sure as shit not paying for a game with in-game ads that scan my computer.

Why would you give you social security number online? EA tends to suck at many things, but stealing personal information is lower than low...I don't think they are that evil.

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? Of course, you could always play single-player against the artificial intelligence, though the AI won't be mistaken for human opponents any time soon, and the single-player is still limited to 16-player maps. Still, this is an example of things to come, as we begin to see dynamic in-game ads appear in more and more games.

Then i wont be buying anything from ea anymore.... im done with ea.... they fucked over the ps2 racing side and now they are fucking over the pc side so screw ea im done with it.

Totally 99.9% agreeing with you. I'm sure most of the people would probably be more involved with the fighting. Not.

You guys better suck it up and get used to it. Soon dynamic ads in game are gonna be the norm. EVERY game will have them. Ha, and everyone was bitching when regular ads started popping up.

READ THIS:

http://www.totalbf2142.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4814

There is a picture of the EULA that is inserted with the game. Nowhere on it does it state that it tracks "surfing-habits." Fair enough that it doesn't say it won't do that, but everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over something one guy said 'may' happen. The EULA also states that it will only do this while running bf2142 while connected to the internet. I don't believe alot of people do banking while assualting a titan. The only thing we know is what has been released so far as that it will track which ads ingame you look at and for how long.

If you don't agree with the EULA now, dont buy the game tomorrow. If you pre-ordered, get your money back or see a lawyer.
