Default How much does it download?

I'm limited to 5G downloads, when I first log does it download more or load texture files.

The entire game is 3.60 GB at the moment.

If I was you, I would -image the game and let it download at night.

Don't forget...your normal game usage uses bandwidth too. Not nearly as much as downloading updates or explorables, but you are constantly using bandwidth as you play. I exceeded my 5gig download once when I was using wireless ATT 3G cellular internet. I had to pay $150 in overage charges. I stopped using that internet connection real fast. :-)

I used to have 5GB/Month limit when I had AT&T GSM Internet but now I switched to DSL so no limits and very fast speed.

The download's why it's a good idea to buy the game from the store (or borrow the discs from a friend) and install that way. Save a *LOT* of downloading.

You should also be able to find software that monitors your download so you know when your getting near your limit.

Never needed them myself so wouldn't want to recommend one than might be trash.
