Well from the server problems last week , i dont think its a coincidence that the demo and bf2142 are released very shortly after it.

Loads of people are really sick of all patching shit , waiting for servers to come up and other EA shit.
Now there's problems again , and most people see there's another game''called BF2142'' released aswell , which might look good aswell and they will try it.
They offcourse forget this is an EA product which made them frustrated for 1 year now.

I'm not buying it , even when the servers are being a pain again now , but I know the mass will move on, good job for you EA , you just got most BF2 gamers to buy BF2142 that don't even see your smart marketing strategy by giving server probs again.I'd do the same , this is why I'd see this coming from miles.

I might look paranoid and a conspiracy seeker , but really , my paranoia never let me down so far
