Electronic Arts empfiehlt das Einspielen des Patches auf einer sauberen Installation, also ohne eventuelle Modifikationen. Wer die Steam-Version besitzt, sollte den Patch über die Spieleplattform von Valve beziehen, da es ansonsten zu Problemen kommen kann.

Der Multiplayer-Modus kann ab sofort nur noch mit der neuen Version 1.02 genutzt werden - ältere Versionen wurden ausgeschlossen. Electronic Arts sah diesen Schritt als notwendig an, da es zu viele Cheat-Tools gab.
