Saw this over at [H]ardOCP this morning and thought it needs to be known by all who is thinking or is in the process of buying BF2142.
Very important WARNING
There is a specific MS Security update that you MUST "remove" in order to install and run BF2142. This MS Security update is a anti ad/spy ware routine.

WARNING 2:
This so called "agreement" that you must do is NOT KNOWN OR SHOWN on the box. You MUST open the box to find out the DIRTY deed. We all know exactly what happens that once you OPEN THE BOX you are screwed and stuck. You can not return OPENED boxed software.

That image is from said ADWARE agreement terms which is NOT DISPLAYED or even MENTIONED on the outside of the box. You the user are screwed once you open the box just to find that piece of crap that EA has done.
MOH: Airborne better not do this, EA is now looking at a possible FTC investagation and all likely hood a class action lawsuit over this.
Now the big question of the day is this. Has EA loaded this saem BS into MOH Airborne ??????
