EB 2 only for MTW2: Kingdoms?

[Victor1234]

Is EB 2 going to be for MTW 2: Kingdoms only or will it work on regular MTW2 too?

Sorry if this is answered in any other thread, but I'm curious. I seem to recall reading somewhere it would be the case, but I want to be sure.

Kingdoms only.

Which is good since Kingdoms makes M2TW looks like an bug-ridden-two-patched-left-for-dead-EA product.

Wait... that's what Sega did too. -_-' Have fun with sticking the CD in the tray everytime you want to start it :-D

It would appear so. It contains software that makes sure you don't use an illegal version, though it is easily circumvented and opens your computer to weaknesses. Here is the thread that discusses it:

Its not securom 7.0 though so it doesn't mess with your computer, it just makes it so you have to stick in the CD everytime. The problem is that if they decide to move to 7.0, then we get the hidden-hard-to-remove stuff. Otherwise its fine.

Publishers can decide what versions to get/which options to use so you don't need to worry THAT much.
