The seal was broken, there you go then lol
And about the in-game ads, i swear you dont even see any ads unless your actually looking for them(even then theres only one or two on bill boards on buildings etc), the ads really arent a problem trust me
So are you saying that with BF2142, the key is nontransferable like other games before? I had bought BF2, BF1942, SC4D, and others with this method, and never had problems. All those games were used and opened.
