This is the last patch version with the possibility of offline Multiplayer/LAN (so this is the version of choice for LAN parties without internet connection!). Unfortunately with the newer versions (like e.g. 1.50 or 1.51) it's impossible to connect to an offline LAN server.
Before i was wandering, why it didnt see my local network games...
Thanx max-damage.
Looks like its some kind of tradition of EA to ruin smth at last patches in Battlefield series...
You're welcome :)
It really took me some time analyzing and testing, til I finally found out that EA messed up the more recent patch versions :(
I want to know about can I level up with playing offline multiplayer
Unfortunately not.
"Last LAN Compatible"
It was, now you can host a 1.51 LAN server with Unlocker: Moddb.com
