Do I need all expansion packs?

[serfma]

Just curious before I go and buy another BF2 copy with a new CD Key so I can play online on PR, do I have to buy all of the Expansion Packs to play it or not?

You don't need any expansion packs to install and play PR.

BF2 1.5 patch gives you Armored Fury and Euro Forces for free anyway when you download and install that.

Install BF2
Patch BF2 > 1.41
Patch BF2 > 1.5 (this will include BF2:AF & BF2:EF)
Install PR

Ohhh. Heh, I thought there was something like that in the 1.5 patch. I'm finally about to get BF2 back up after 2 years! I've been playing singleplayer with a non-online CD key for several days to get my craving down from wanting to play it so bad.

Thanks btw.

No worries, welcome and have fun.

Don't hesitate to ask any more questions you might have.

Uhh, if I buy BF2 from ea.com, Can I download it online or does it have to be shipped to me? It says available on PC, and others say PC Download.

Show us a link to the product. I've just done a quick search for BF2 on there and only came up with the BF2 complete collection for 15 pounds which is available through download.

If your specifically after a downloadable version and don't care about price, that may be the way for you but when I went for my second copy of BF2 for a friend, I just purchased it through Steam and downloaded it that way.

I bought the complete collection because shipping it was $18. >_>
