    Just purchased BF2. What updates do I get?

    404 - Official EA Site
    http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/downloads.jsp


    I know I could work it out for myself, but I just wan't to be sure because I'm letting it download them over night.
    I'm currently on just the normal BF2 out of the box without upgrades, so I'd think that's 1.0, but on the EA website the lowest update is to 1.2, so where's 1.1? Or am I missing something here?

    You need to download the 1.3 patch. I would recommend the full version (~450MB). Be warned though. 1.3 has caused a lot of issues for people. Just browse all the bitching on these forums.

    1.3 is all you'll need to play online. I wouldn't buy any of the expansions and boosters, but that's just me. If you want to, you can. I'd suggest playing some vanilla BF2 first.

      Yeah I'm not planning on purchasing any expansions for a while. So if I download this uh, "Battlefield 2 v1.3 (438MB)", then it's a full install? It isn't just to patch from v1.2 to v1.3? It's to patch from v.1.0 to v1.3?

        1.3 full patch is from 1.0 to 1.3 hence the full part

          Yes I understand that, but it doesn't say "full patch" in the name.

            Oh. Once you install patch 1.3 your version number will not be 1.3. It took me a minute to figure it out. Read about it here if you'd like.

              Err?
              Right, well anyway I downloaded the "Battlefield 2 v1.3 (438MB)" and I'm just hoping it's the full install from version 1.0. I don't have much choice than to patch anyway because no Australian servers are running on version 1.0.
