EA are shite... Why make the mistake in the first place. I spoke to EA UK Support and they even stated that EA UK was not even made aware of EA Link until the shit hit the fan. Plus the fix for both problems can be found Sorry but I agree with most in this world. EA are shite… Why make the mistake in the first place.

The game crashes to the desktop every 3 to 4 maps. The server browser does not trully refresh. So, You see a server that says 46 of 48 and you try to play and the server is full. You refresh and or update the server browser and it still says 46 of 48 and it will have a full server when you connect. Many times when trying to connect you get an error. There are many other problems that I have had including the installation of the game and not letting users know that you need a new directx9. I found that info on fileplanet. EA eventually updated their app to let Users know but I dug around everywhere to figure out the problem on EA's site and it was not there. EA seems like they just have to release a game rather then release a game when it is 99% bug free. In the first two hours of playing I had nothing but problems. Why ship the game? I like the game play of 2142 but I will probably never buy a PC EA game again because of the poor quality and support. GG EA - you lost another customer who really likes your games.

I have no problems on either of my PCs and neither do any of my friends. Yes it's a problem and yes it needs to be fixed but hysterical EA bashing and woeful exaggeration is not the answer. Also there is a fix on the 2142 support pages if you'd bothered to check but then you wouldn't be able to look smug at your little dig at EA would you. I am a sad little man.
