I for one bought BF2142 exclusively for FS.  Other mods that come out will be icing on the cake (if they are good). I have played 2142 some but I don't find it anywhere as enjoyable as 1942 was when it first came out.  The same goes for BF2 when that came out, and probably why I stopped playing it when I did.

Back to 1942, it was starting to loose it's appeal to me when I DL'ed GC (that was just before version 3 was released) and that kept me interested. Along with DC, FH and EoD.

So there are those of us who's motivation to buying BF2142 was a means to play the mods.

With that said, hurry up and release

I feel the same way Jaded. You summed my points up perfectly

But I know lots of people who've bought games exclusively for the mods.

Almost nobody buys game to play mods. And keeping the game alive doesn't help EA much.

I think Talon makes a point. Aren't we supposed to buy the game and all of its addons and booster packs. Then play it for a year and a half till Battlefield Bad Company or another new BF title comes out. Who cares about the budget section as long as you have got full price games.

For example:
My freinds bought the game because they loved playing DC at my house....

I don't think mods have to do this no

Don't you have to? Otherwise you're stealing profit from EA by removing the ads. Thats not dissimilar from charging to play the mod.

P.S. Gang HMG is better
