Two different versions of Northern Strike ?

**Rasta-GR** · 10-09-2007, 06:51 AM

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

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.)

Hm, that is very odd....really huge size difference for the two...

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

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.

The smaller might be Incrimental, like in patches.

But dont listen to me, im usually wrong
