It's not spyware, and you don't need to install it anyway.

Yes I'm serious and no, I'm not incredibly stupid. No need to be nasty Georgy, I only asked as I wanted to be sure I wasn't installing some sort of malware on my machine. You want to check who you are calling 'stupid' as I'm certain I don't fall under that category - I'm curious and I found this forum is a good place to ask. I'm fairly sure people happy to help. I'm certainly happy to help others whenever I can, even if the answer seems obvious. I'm also polite AFAIK and I welcome people to tell me if I'm not,
I ordered BF2 and a few of my friends told me to not install it (Gamespy) because it's spyware/adware. I wasn't entirely sure they were right, which is why I asked. I also googled it and found scattered rumours of 'BF2 with bundled spyware' but I didn't find much consistent info. Thanks for answering guys.

^ Well said that man.
BF2142 is the game with the bundled in-game advertising
BF2 is fine. Once you've got it, post up your username here, there's a few BF2 players still knocking around, but most have moved to BF2 mods (AIX, PR, etc)

Thanks mate. When I searched, I did notice lots of results for 2142. BF2 was highly recommended to me by a friend so I finally decided to buy it. It should arrive tomorrow, so I'll install/patch it and post my U/N. I ordered the complete collection from play.com for £9.99 - good deal IMO. Could you post the links for the mods if you have them, please so I have them ready for when I get the game
Thanks

AIX - www.aixtended.com/
Adds new maps, weapons and vehicles and a more tactical mind is needed to get the best out of it. Not quite as spammy as vanilla BF2 (vBF2)
PR - www.realitymod.com
Aimed more at those who enjoy milsims. Used to add a touch of reality to a very vanilla game but has got a little OTT of late. Be prepared for 3 hour rounds and a lot of tactical planning - very realistic and you'll find yourself immersed in the action. Not as easy to pick up and play though.

Thanks m8. They sound like good mods, especially the reality mod.
Edit: Pretty big files! I'll wait till 9 so I don't hit the VM speed cap lol.
im sorry its just gamespy is a big thing and to think its spyware is ....
yeh bf2 is good game and tons off people still play it no need for the mods
the best mod is AIX. Pr is no where near as fun
but if you want a match im Georgy291.....he he same as my post name
