Here is a post of mine about the 2Gb Update for BF3 [http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3/comments/27u75m/this\_better\_worth\_it\_you\_guys/](http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3/comments/27u75m/this_better_worth_it_you_guys/) and someone told me that BF4 Patches are freaking huge 50GB, is that true?

Oh, thank god.

Definitely depends on your platform. On Xbone BF4, Second Assault, China Rising and Naval strike probably take up about that much off the HDD

I didn’t buy a physical copy so I’m not 100% sure, but often times a physical copy is really just a code inside the box or an early version of the game where you’ll still need to download a ton of updates.
