Battlefield 2: Armoured Fury

The second booster pack is called Battlefield 2: Armored Fury and is due out seven week's later on Tuesday 28th March (mark these days in your diary!). As is suggested by its name, Armoured Fury will focus on large, mechanised battles which hark back to the El Alamein-style maps in Battlefield 1942.

Like Euro Force, Armoured Fury will feature three brand new maps: "Midnight Sun", "Operation Harvest" and "Operation Road Rage". It will also feature two new vehicle classes. The first, Attack Jets, need little introduction, but the second, Recon Helicopters, will allow players to spot nearby enemy units via their sophisticated on-board radar systems.

Battlefield 2: Euro Force and Battlefield 2: Armoured Fury will be made available exclusively for downloadable purchase via EA Downloader, just as Battlefield 2: Special Forces was before Christmas. If you're new to Downloader, just think of it like Valve's Steam - it keeps you up-to-date with the latest patches, trailers, and new game content.

Both packs will be priced according to your chosen territory:
United States: US$9.99

Europe: â,¬9.99

UK: £5.99

Not another one  :blink:  I haven't even bought BF2 : SF yet! No one plays that either.

Why can't they leave it until we're bored of BF2 and will actually play the new packs??

I remember some article in PC Gamer years ago imagining the future of video games. They had a snippet of an imaginary article about paying for patches being sandard practice. Little did they know...

... or did they?  :ph34r:

edit: also, re: forgotten hope, I want someone to make a BF1942 mod for BF2, to mirror Desert Combat. Wouldn't have to be any good - I just feel there's a hole that needs to be plugged.

On my BF2 box it says"...blah-blah...dynamic environments,material penetration and advanced physics"

In the new patch/booster pack (ha!) the APC cannon is no longer going to be able to shoot through tin sheeting etc :blink:

So a feature of the original game is being removed...and you're privilaged to pay for it :g:
