Re: Will you file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau?
My god man you really cant compare a car since cars come with base packages and options...the car in the video could be the fully loaded and the car with the one seat could be base model (which would be disclosed at the dealership...much like how the box BF2 comes in mentions none of this other crap...continue reading)...
All these sites are great but no where on the box does it mention any of these things, you may be onto something bigger than this and that is Online Marketing however the internet is a very unregulated place so good luck

And here is a biggie from Kmart.
Armed with the latest weaponry, players can take control of any of the game's 30+ vehicles to engage in major conflicts with over 100 players in some of the largest online battles on the PC. And Walmart also says
Online multiplayer action with 100+ players on the PC.
And they both talk about the clan creation and such as the other stores. Also still posted are screenshots that aren't even one of the maps we received w/ the game.
As consumer's that have already purchased the game, it's our responsibility to ensure that this wont continue by simply complaining to a higher power. I have sent e-mail's to EA and participated in there poll's and to no avail.
I love this game, but there are too many unfinished things with this product. I paid 50 bucks when this this came out, and i still dont feel like i got my money's worth. Especially after upgrading to better hardware so i could run the game the way it's meant to be played. I needed to upgrade anyway, at some point, but when it's specifically for this game.........
If a car maufacturer advertised a car to be sold in a month, and released videos of the car in action and all the extra's it comes with. When that car is delivered, with one seat, and you have to put the engine together. That is not a finished product. So you complain to the car manufacturer, and they say they will fix the problems. The next day you see the same manufacturer releasing a newer version of your car in a month, with bigger and better options (as is the case w/ the expansion). But you still dont have your seat's and your almost done putting together the engine (EXCEPT you need a wrench that is only offered from the manufacturer and they wont give it to you-as is the case w/ the bot pathing tools) Yeah, it's not right, and people should stand up for themselves any way they can.
For the most part, I have no crashing issues w/ this game, but there are people who do! Releasing an expansion pack while there are still issues to be addressed is the wrong thing to do.
1.2 million people have purchased this game and play online, over 3000 ranked servers they must have done something right. That sounds like 50 million dollars.
As far as myself, I find it increasingly obvious that EA is not going to do anything about the issues. I gave it 3 months for patches that really dont do anything. I'm simply giving people a door to make a complaint against a company that doesn't care. The fact alone that they didn't revise the advertising after they realized they couldn't or wouldn't be able to provide what was promised is truth alone. The general public (consumers) were deceived by advertising, that is still advertised, about items that were never produced in the finished product. Issues within the game are never addressed. Tools that were promised to the community were never given.
