1. EA still refuses to enable Widescreen support for its non-sport, non-console titles despite Widescreen monitors becoming more and more mainstream.  Nasty hacks/workarounds are necessary - for BF2 I spent nearly 4 hours just making the game look right and quit resetting resolution on my Widescreen. Even then - it is not as good looking as real widescreen support.

2. EA charges $50 and then as part of the EULA (End User License Agreement) requires that you consent to the display of in-game ads, and installation of spyware/malware which collects your surf habits in order to play online.  I would rather not have a bright neon display selling Coca Cola in a post-apocalyptic future.  Does not fit the setting.  Just an attempt by a greedy publisher to gain money at the expense of, not by helping its customers in enjoying the product.

3. EA leaves bugs that have existed since BF2 in-game, and on release this game has been buggy and patches are few and far between.  If its support of BF2 is any indication - gamers will be disappointed in that patches generally break/unbalance things rather than fixing reported problems.

On a positive note (to earn its one-star) is that the new Titan mode is pretty harrowing and exciting... assuming you are actually able to find a stable server and your system doesn't crash your client randomly.

I for one am boycotting EA titles until customer grievances are redressed appropriately.  Withour your customers - no advertising company will see a point in paying to have their ads in-game.
