I have just done a search on Game Monitor
http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?game=bf2142&rulename=gamename&ruleval=stella
and nearly 6000 people are playing the full game. I payed for the game on EA downloader so I could play the demo as soon as, It dose not seam right that I have to wait to play when I have paid for the game, up front 4 weeks ago.:mad:

Online distribution is bound by law to only release on the day retailers do for the respectives countries.

I was playing the full yesterday at 2:00 pm. It just goes to show you that advertising "getting a jump on other players" doesn't always mean "getting a jump on other players".

I almost downloaded the game from EAD... but I am oldschool and wanted a hardcopy. I also got it for 40 bucks instead of 50. They had it labeled wrong at Target.

You don't have to live in the UK to play on a UK server...

Well it is released in the US, in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria,... I realy do feel sorry about you guys in the UK. IMHO the release date should be the same all over the world.

Like i said in a previous thread i am glad we get games later than the US cause it means if it is **** or has major problems i wont be the getting shafted and nor will alot of other Brits:D

It is a 3-4 day difference to when the 1st country had it released so no major upset if it was 3 months then yes i would be pissed but 1 week is nothing:cool:

I live in England and preordered the game at Game.co.uk.
It arrived this morning.This series of battlefield is more intense than any other.
If you don't have it yet you won't believe me. If you do,well you should be on the battlefield not reading this!
