Auto-map downloading

Post by squipple »

Y'know when you go online to play SWBF2, and you join a server, only to find out you don't have the proper map being played?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a game that auto-downloads maps for online multiplayer. Not only does SWBF2 not auto-download them, but it doesn't even tell you what one you need.

I don't play a ton of shooters on the pc, but I've always wondered if there was a game that did this. Know of any?

All Source games and mods, and Crysis Wars, + lots more.

I think BFMEII did it too.

Call of duty 4, if you let it.

Kinda looks like most games that aren't BF2. :?

Wow, I guess I REALLY don't play fps online...heh.
Well, BF3 really needs that integrated. :)
Might be a big reason why you don't see a lot of mod maps being played online.
