Find out the name of the server the game connects to. Edit the SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts file in your Windows directory and add a line like this:

127.0.0.1 battlefield2142.com

(where "battlefield2142.com" is just an example name for the server). There can be any number of spaces and/or Tabs between the IP address and the server name. From that moment, the PC onto which you installed this "redirection" will try to send requests to itself when any software wants to access that particular server/site; requests will time out because noone replies to them. I'm not sure if this is what you wanted, though...
yea thats the sorta thing i want, so the game thinks that the server is down, and i can play offline, do you know how to find out what the name of the server is that the game connects to? or is the thing you posted it, or just a example of a guess?
