    Default Digital Download

    Does anyone know if we'll be able to download MTW2 from an online vendor? I'm asking because I just finished downloading NWN2 from Direct to Drive and I wasn't expecting to be able to get the game until I return to the US in December. If MTW2 will be available for digital purchase, it'll mean I can't play the game before January... and now I'm really looking forward to it after playing the demos.

    It's 11gb in size, it would be one hell of a long download.

    I have a super fast connection at work... got the 4.5Gb NWN2 download in a little under an hour. Just burnt unto DVD and that was that. With 11GB, I'll just take my comp into my office and spend a couple more hours after work.

    On a normal highspeed connection that 11gb would take about 12 hours, ish. Alright for some I suppose

    I work at an Information Systems Consulting office here in Cancun. We're connected directly to the TelMex backbone, so I can get insane speeds after 6pm when all the banks and government offices close. At home, I have a 1Mb connection through Prodigy Infinitum here (paid for by my work), but it would take about and hour and a half to 3 hours to download a 4.5Gb file from home. Files larger than 2Gb I just download at my office and burn unto a DVD. I don't think I've ever downloaded a file larger than 4.5Gb before... which means it would be able to fit on a single DVD. I hate making file splinters, so that's why I'm thinking of taking my comp into my office to download a 11Gb file.

    Edit: I called in sick so that I could play NWN2 and my gf's been griefing me the entire morning... WAH have it installed and I still haven't played it yet! Oh well, tomorrow's a holiday here, so I should have tons of time.
