Anyone else picking this up? I know Jack will. But now EA has this thing where you can DL the game before its release… anyone done this yet? I don’t know if I should DL it or just pick it up at the store… [Click HERE for Download Info](https://account.ea.com/commerce/product-info.jsp?ipath=15&locale=en_US&sls=3&site=eaco&prodid=BF2-MAP&skin=bf2map&app=commerce&lkey=Q3B_ngpmsOGMw_epCmb3owAAKDw.) They say _“save time, gas and money.”_ $29.99 for the DL, but what will it cost in the store? :gotme: ---

Is this a demo with the option to buy or the whole game download? I would like to try out Battlefield since I’ve never played any of them before. ---

You want Battlefield… If it is anything like BF1942 -\> BF Desert Combat DC was a “patch” basically… that updated everything from 1942 - 2002 What Soecial Forces is, is a patch that will take BF2 and change everything to Special Forces unit… very cool… Rainbow Six I’m thinking. jay - I think you will need BF2… I suggest you buy it used, its still $$ in stores… then you buy this. I’ll probably buy it in stores… I bought HL2 online… it was pretty cool, but when I re-formatted my PC I had 6 gigs of games I downloaded that were gone… :tdown: ---

If so I would be all for it. ---

probably… HL2 used steam, which ruined it. BF2 comes in DVD format, 1 disc… you can borrow mine if you want to do some 1 player, but if you want to use the multiplayer function you have to get your own key. you will also need the NO CD crack so you don’t need my disc. ---

Hmm I have problems with Keys. I can’t play FEAR in multiplayer anymore. I’ve tried other keys but they dont work either. I may have to take you up on that offer. ---

> [@Jack](#): > > … BF2 comes in DVD format, 1 disc… Mine came with 3 CDs… ? Either way, it sounds like this download works like Windows update: On the day it’s released, you’ll get a tray icon notification and the full version will start to download… but do I want a hard copy just incase? Hum… And if you click the ‘video’ button above the picture in the link above you can see some in game vids :tup: ---

I actually like STEAM, hated it at the beginning. There have been times when I was bored stuck at a family function etc. (with broadband) and owned some terrorists to pass the time :tup: I like that you are a few (large) downloads away from playing your games away from home. ---
