TLotR Battle for Middle Earth 2 - The Rise of Witch King ( Addon question )

[bla_1337]

Hi ,
I just wanted to ask if a full version of TLotR Battle for Middle Earth 2 is needed to play this game? I wasnt able to find any information about that subject matter otherwise I have visual defects ; D .... moreover this addon is bigger than 4 gigabyte ...i just asked myseld if EA published with this game a further standalone title like other new games ....Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is an example for this....only with the difference that EA Games didnt release this game but "Deepsilver" ...
