Players have spent a depressing 1,500 years playing 2142

Today EA announced that, since its launch on October 18th, more than one million rounds of Battlefield 2142 have been played online. EA also pointed out the oddly depressing note that this number means more than 1,500 years worth of time have been spent playing the game.

The team at DICE is still hard at work on the game, making updates designed to refine the online experience. The latest patch is available for download on the Official Battlefield 2142 Website . The site will also host a series of behind-the-scenes glimpses of the DICE Live team.

games are fun and all but why dedicate the majority of your life to fantasy? true joy may be obtained through action. have any of you ever tried snowboarding or skateboarding? its much more entertaining as well as music. i used to play alot of videogames but now i spend most of my time practicing my guitar skills. its much more rewarding in the long run as well.

Vanessa, I enjoy gaming but I also enjoy lots of other pursuits as well, I road cycle, I mountain bike, I play Badminton I have horses that consume a lot of time and effort and I ski (sorry boarding is classified as the "dark side") gaming is a release for me to go into another world for a few hours and relax,chill and forget all the crap in the world !

well alot of things i do are classified as the dark side. i dont have time to play games any more because i fill my day with chillin with friends and skating, then i devote any spare time to the study of music in an effort to broaden my own horizons as an artist. thats my personal escape from all the shit i deal with. i play badminton too sometimes but its a little too uptight for me.
