Go to your ELECTRONIC ARTS\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Movies directory.

it's usually in your C:\Program Files

Add a underscore after the .bik for these files:
Dice.bik
EA.bik
Intro.bik
Legal.bik
Legal_na.bik

don't delete them, you might need them to install future patches.

Open up BF2142 and it should go directly to the login screen.

How about:

Go to your ELECTRONIC ARTS\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142 directory.
Rename Movies folder to Movies_

done.

I just deleted them, never had any problems patching or with punkbuster.

renaming & deleting take about the same effort, renaming is just a little bit "safer" in the event that you run into some punkbuster problems or they add some movie file check to a patch.

If they were to force you to watch the movies I'd never play the game again.

I'm less worried about the wait, and the Dice logo's BOOM that blows my eardrums everytime I load the game.
