I think we should be asking why BF2142 was being played at a LAN party, not whether or not EA would do that.

That was... Actually pretty awesome.

Now that this is out on the internet, how long is it going to be before hundreds of people try to claim the same thing happened to them, and EA stop doing this because people are being dicks and abusing their generosity? I give it an hour or two. 3 at most.

That is pretty cool.
