You will have to download less.

If you buy it from a store you will install it through a pc and just install updates, if you buy from steam you have to download the whole thing

Buy it in the store. You'll download less.

If you buy it in a store, you'll install the game base and then Steam will download any necessary updates for the game. You'll download less that way.

I believe he means not much bandwidth.

Lol, bandwidth for what, im a noob, but i thought bandwidth would be for your website that you host, not steam downloads,

Download speeds and whatnot. Bandwidth can deal with any type of data transfer.

Buy it from steam because u can stop the downloading when you want, and if reach your bandwidth limit, u can run the game even tho its not fully installed steam is the way to go

Qlimax, bandwidth is like a tunnel, and the more you have of it the wider it gets, being able to dl more. but its much faster to install from a cd. buy it retail.

Buy it at the store. I had better luck with inatalling than downloading. The only issue you'll have is that there are a lot of maps out there so you'll have to download THOSE, but I think the game itself isn't really that big.

This isn't going to work, aether way your going to use bandwidth becuase for one downloading the game of steam or when you buy it at store and install it your going to have to download to get into servers and such anyway.... So really it doesn't save much bandwidth.
