Question Two different versions of Northern Strike ?

Dear all,

Could you please help me on this issue?

I have bought BF2142 DVD, from a retail shop in Europe (Greece).

I want to buy NS, but I have noticed that there are 2 different download sizes on EA Shop:

US EA Shop: 160MB
UK EA Shop: 370MB

What the heck ?

Regards,

Rasta

Re: Two different versions of Northern Strike ?

Well I suppose the extra u's in British English must account for the difference in size

(I honestly haven't an idea. I bought the only version available and it's suited me fine since.)

One may come with the patch already installed while you will have to re-patch after installing the smaller one.

Re: Two different versions of Northern Strike ?

Perhaps the extra heft has to do with the localization files.
That's about all I can think of at this time. Though I know someone that can most definitely answer your question and I will be forwarding your inquiry.
