How much data does a round of Battlefield 2 consume over the internet?
Q. I have a limited data plan on my DSL internet service, and i wouldn't like to exceed the limit. If anyone knows how much data a round (one hour or so) of online gaming in Battlefield 2 takes up, I'd really appreciate it. An approximate answer is good too.
