( Size of standard BfME2 is around 5.7 GB, but BfME2 Special Editon is only 3.0 GB. The game loads amazingly faster and runs smoother (because fewer files, but with no mismatching if played vs/with Standart Edition.) Also the game starts up faster than the standard version.Uber fast installation (install The Battle for Middle Earth II in 25 seconds).Autodefeated (3:30) problem solved (experimental).I use this version to play on T3A:o and suggest everyone do the same thing. Next download T 3A:o and play with your friends online. All you need to download and install is the Special Edition. You dont need to crack or patch the game to play online with other players. If you ask me what the special edition is, I would say it's the best version of BfME2! With new game musics 'The Lord of The Rings Soundtracks', better graphics, images and much more features (read all features below). If you play with this edition vs someone who doesnt have, you don't have mismatch problems. This is The Battle for Middle Earth 2 Special Edition with patch 1.06.
