I'm only at 80% as of right now so I'm sure after this download takes place it'll install from the discs. I'd advise to just get the digital version..or get more bandwidth cause your going to need it. | ||

I downloaded + finished installing/updating within 45 minutes so to me it seemed like a typo (stating downloading instead of installing) since it went so fast... | ||

I'd hope not considering this is battlefield game which basically requires a current internet connection I pay 22 dollars a month for 25 down 1 up 500 gb I still will say people just like to complain for the sake of it. You got exactly what I did except you get a box / CD and whatever else with it. All of that aside I'll say it succinctly: you got the exact SAME GAME that i play | ||

The whole point of a physical copy is to have the full retail game as it was burnt on a disk, on a freaking disk so you won't have to DL everytime you want to reinstall. | ||
