You've never seen the ad spam because you've got the regsitered version. Even THEY know how annoying it is with their tongueincheek ads that try to get you to register to get "rid of those nasty ads". And ASE interface is SOOOOO much more simpler to navigate around. It used to be you were able to see how many people were in a game that you dont have installed. Now you have to dig for that feature to even get access. With ASE I have to load up a small utility to launch the game. If it's full or there might be connection problems. No big, ASE wont open it. Oh no not with ASE. It'll open it regardless and let MOH figure out the connection suitability.

Bottom line its a whole lot for nothing with GS vs getting a little thats worth alot with ASE.
