    Aye, looks like sorted. I copied all bf3 ( stil only have patch downloaded ) in to second ssd. Then deleted bf3 and completely deleted origin.
    Then reinstalled origin on second ssd and started download for bf3. After 1% canceled, then dropped bf3 copy I had saved inside where it was downloading new game. Turned on origin again and it went from 1% to 99%. Sorted whole install and resumed downloading expansion where i canceled it.

    Looks like it is all sorted and finished patching, but I did not started it yet as had to go to bed. I can't see why it should not work.

    Now I got 30gb on my os ssd free and nothing to put on it... I might put Diablo 3, eve online there...

    Heading towards 100% on the main update, then I see the above posts thinking, dang, another 4gb download. Thankfully though, it turns out aftermath is 93% in the background, which explains why the main D/L was happening at half my bandwidth. Only 20 mins to go :D

    got to play a game of scavenger there now,

    was very confused by loadout, no guns bar handguns
    It's like gungame, except you have to pick up the weapons. Although there are ammo boxes, it's best to just keep running about until you find another gun to pickup. They are shown by blue "arrows" that come up when you are near the item. Once you figure this out, it's great fun. The crossbow sucks in this game mode, but it's very hectic.

    The maps are f**king great! Lots of alleyways, and stuff, and they fit the scavenger game mode nicely.

    It was only when the main window finished and I tried to start playing, it brought up a different window, showing the previous DLC at 100% and then the new aftermath. If you go into the Origin window, you may get it that way.

    I played one game of scavenger on Craggy last night and it was great craic. You had people running out into the open in a way that you'd never see during regular play.

    Jesus, yeah. Your man kept on calling 5uspect a hacker, non stop like. As he said himself, it must be a good sign that he's a good player.

    That tag taking you saved me from was great, the animation started and then just cut out as you downed your man, epic save!!

    I like these new maps..a lot more open and as I was saying onTS last night , multiple exits out of areas makes it far more interesting and you can be as sneaky as hell :)

    as long as some bollix doesn't spawn on you with a laser sight :D

    I'm surprisingly pleased with Scavenger mode, since I have no regard for the other gimmicky modes such as gun master. It's nicely chaotic and random. You can't have someone abuse a particular weapon or spend a match camping, since they simply don't have that option.

    I was even thinking hmmm could get a knife kill here myself but thought no, don't be that player. That ticket coulda meant the difference in winning and losing! (it didn't)

    i think you let me kill you, don't want your stats to good or you'd have given it away

    Yeah. I find I'm doing the martyrbastardnade trick a lot, and getting a few kills when I'm dead :P

    What time does Craggy heat up at? Plan to pop on later.

    I am loving the maps.

    Dice did an amazing job with their design.

    One or two of the maps have a BF2 Special Forces feel to them

    Scavenger is something to throw into the rotation every 5 to 7 games to mix it up a bit.

    I am not a fan of it either to be honest. Good in small doses.

    Scavenger is basically a typical Quake style team death match.

    Only played a few games but as a conquest fan I'm liking it quite alot, scavenger is a nice addition but the xbow is pretty useless compared to the kit you swap it for.

    It's actually kind of sad how much I love doing the new assignments and getting some funky new tags though :D

    By far the best DLC yet for BF3, i also think they have toned down the suppression a tad which im delighted about.
    This expansion has reignited my interest in BF3 allover again.
