I took it as states referring a number of patches that could be released. Theres no way a clan system would be outside of that size limit and if so they should've had it in the the free DLC conquest mode, which wasn't a patch.

That's what I meant and it was a patch on the PS3 version for conquest (also had a number of fixes for balance and such). Take Burnout Paradise its patches (I think after the 2nd or 3rd one) they showed up as DLC, not at auto patches. The problem is that devs may alienate Arcade owners by going over the 64mb as they may not have a hard drive or larger card. That could be the reason DICE didn't add it in. At the same time 1943 or the BFBC2 beta didn't have clan support so it maybe a moot point.

Well i dunno about ps3 but on the live marketplace Conquest was a DLC download, not a forced patch, seperate to and distinct from the players map pack and forced Title Update/Patch. The conquest mode is 80Mb so that may have been slighly too big for TU but at that size i'm suprised sony would have it as a forced download.

Alas the whole clan issue is moot though as its a design choice they made and are obviously planning on sticking with.
