BF 2142 Cancelled

Its a sad day. here is a quote from EAs 2142 director
We are sad to announce that a decision was made to cancel Battlefield 2142. One of the main reasons behind this decision is we felt the community will not support this product, and we would not like to release another incomplete product. Secondly, due to a recent poll it was shown that a near majority of users will not buy this product. This essentially means there will be nearly no profit made, so I will not be able to make my car payments on my Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano vehicle. Any users interested in this car in buying this car, please contact me.

Furthermore a decision was made to focus on supporting Battlefield 2 through patches and listening to the entire community instead of the crying sounds of pubnubs.”

I know the people who run totalbf2 and totalbf2142. Trust me, it's not cancelled. Would an executive talk about not making his car payments in an actual cancellation message?

However its kind of sad too, they do need to spend more time with bf2.
