Probably a stupid question,7.5 GB or 11.5GB

Probably a stupid question Why has my MTW2 folder 7.5 GB and the recommended disk space on the box is 11.5 GB. I asked this on the official forum and apparently I was told it had to do with saves?But surely saves are a personal thing, a difference of over 3 GB seems a lot to me.

My guess is that the unpacked version is going to be 11GB

But that seems rather large since in RTW the packed files were as large as the unpacked, it just made it faster...

I think that u need to have at least 3gb free after the instalation so that the game can even start. Kind of like ram... Maybe it sounds stupid but it's quite possible.

My RTW folder with BI has 4.7GB and judging from the boxes thats about right,Oblivion folder has 4.4 GB, recommended on the box 4.6 GB. Doesn't a 3.5 GB difference seem a lot.

Im guessing this is down to CA's decision to pack the files in the release version, be interesting to see how big the M2TW folder is once we've unpacked everything with the unpacker coming with the first patch.

You can download Patch 1.1 from the following locations, you will need 3.5 GB of space. download time estimation 2 weeks........Joke

Not in my folder?

M2TW is 11GB, hence why it requires two DVDs.

Well,i don't have the game yet but i can make out a pretty silly thing that the ca people wanted to introduce two dvds(may be for more money making

),so they just did that and announced an hd space requirement of 11 gb so that people could be fooled easily thinking "Oh,it's 11 gb,surely it's worth of 2 dvds"

Probably.....Hey sorry if it's something called CA bashing.Just presenting the views..that's all.

Perhaps I misunderstood you Shaun, your statement MTW2 is 11GB by that you mean your MTW2 folder is telling you have 11GB?
