so i'm attending a bf2 lan on 14/3, and havent played bf2 for a long time, so i'll be reinstalling bf2 on my machine...

...now just to be ready for lan, which patches (and potentially other updates) would i need to download before attending?

on the ea site it has the 1.41 and 1.4 full patches available, so i guess 1.41 is the newest?

also if there anywhere i could d/l these files etc locally?

wizdumb, doesn't really matter if they don't have the game also patched up.
Unless they specified that you must have the latest patch.

Games.saix.net should have all the patches.

sweet....


...next time your in jhb, the 1st round of drinks is on me

[edit] eeck those patches are huge 400-500mb... i guess most patches for most games are that size
lets hope someone at the lan has the patches, so that i could just copy it from 'em
