"It's not a bug, it's a feature" 
This have to be the first time that is actually true regarding a BF2 patch.

NO WAY!?>!?!? Sweet, my CD drives are absolute **** and wont open 99% of the time, meaning BF2 has permanently occupied one of my two drives for PR since like 5 years ago...
Now I can finally take it out and have two other games ready and waiting.
sweeeeet.

Could it be that people are happy with something that EA have done with one of their BF2 patches?
It is indeed sweet.

No mess up, a lot of companies add the no CD requirement to their last patch after the publishers give them the ok.Robbi187 wrote:It probably was, but good non the less![]()

Surprised at people who don't read the release notes for something they will install on their computer.

Ya i noticed this last week. I looked at the CD on top of my case while i was playing PR:
"Wait...something is wrong here."

Re: 1.5 patch no cd?
The only release notes I read on patches are for major mod updates (to look at new toys, deviation changes etc). Regular game patches get installed because they are needed to continue playing online, so even if I didn't like something I would still install it if I wanted to play the game.DesmoLocke wrote:Surprised at people who don't read the release notes for something they will install on their computer.![]()

Lost my real CD long ago anyway. Been using a "Mini Image" mounted with damon tools for a very long time now. But now I don't even have to worry about that.
