That's what I thought....but I can't seem to get it to load the game - it keeps trying to get me to set up an online account. (btw, I went ahead and installed a fixed exe, as usual...should I try it w/out the fixed exe?)
Well you need to have an internet connection to even be able to play offline versus bots. You need to create an account online with EA. They do it this way so even people that try to pirate it to play offline have trouble doing so.

But what about honest people who just want to play it on an off-line pc? (
I get online with my dad's pc, and play games and watch dvds on my pc. (And I'd hate to try to play BF 2142 on my dad's pc, as it has 512Mb RAM, and a *gag* 1.8Ghz Celeron.)
I don't have BF2142 but I was just searching and I see that 1.1 is still beta so the latest patch is 1.06 - ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/patc...Patch_1.06.exe. You could try creating a profile on the online pc then copying it to the offline pc.
hmmm...
A.) is that possible, do you think?
and
B.) is that legal? (I would expect it to be legal, since I'm not actually playing it on the other pc...)
I really apprecite the help, btw (although you probably think I'm an idiot by now...

I don't think you're an idiot. I don't even have the game.
1. It may or not be possible, I can't try it to find out.
2. You're only copying the profile from one pc to another. There's nothing illegal about that. Of course, you would have to install the game on two computers to try this method out but just uninstall it from the online pc once it's working.
Yea I don't believe you can create an account off-line (without a patch atleast). My friend has dialup so I just copied my account folder and put it on his computer when he wanted to try the game out~ didn't have to connect the computer to the internet since it thought there was already an account. Bot's obviously aren't all that smart but its still pretty fun to play.
Is there anyone who installed either the full game or the demo who would be able and willing to create an account, and then e-mail me the profile data?
If this is against the TOS, let me know...
