Ja ja, I now see someone already posted the changes / updates but now it's got its own thread :P

So how big is it?

If you're using Win 7 and it gives you errors bout not being able to move files after running the update, use the "Run as Administrator" option by right-clicking on the shortcut to BC2. Worked for me

Uncompressed mine came to bout 370mb!

What's it matter to you Mr uncapped

The 15 second spawn timer is something they should have done in BF2 already. It always sucked when one team was almost completely spawned and the other team had two guys in the field.

Let's hope the new server browser cuts it. And I welcome the fact that the kit loadout will be saved between sessions - it really sucks sometimes having to pick your whole kit together every time you join a server.

Doodle, it's about time, not cap. I was planning on playing today and downloading the patch will eat into my game time. If I could download the patch separately I would do it at work, but alas, only ingame patching...

VNC into your machine get it to start so long?
Also it should be hosted locally so should go quick right?

Well, it keeps your weapon loadout & the server browser looks completely different...

[rainy]

Flattie, go do some work

[Noodle]

The 360 version keeps your weapon loadouts already. Pretty much from when I first started playing it

Hardcore seems to have changed as well. It's no longer a one shot kill - just like normal without the minimap & sights on your 40mm nade.
