BF2 EF and AF expansion packs. Do I always have to use the EA downloader

[S_D]

As above really. If I buy these two then do I always have to use the EA downloader (I hate these things) when I play them or can I copy the install files to CD for when I rebuild my computer later and want to reinstall the expansion packs.

TIA

you can back up the files to CD - I did this with Euro Force - they're buried somewhere in the EA downloader directory.

Once installed the EA downloader is not needed - there is an online check whether you have bought the game but it is based upon your BF2 nickname and is checked upon login.

EF and AF can be installed on any copy of BF2 - its the login that allows you to use them!

That's brilliant, thanks very much.

Just buying now.
