First BF2 Booster pack announced!  by Ben A at 18:46

PC
Battlefield 2 Logo EA have announced today their first Battlefield 2 booster pack, titled Euro Force will be available from the 8th of February. With a second titled Armored Fury available on March 28th. Both will be priced at £5.99. Some screenshots are included in the announcement (linked below).

Three new maps, one entirely new army, lot's of new weapons and vehicles then awards for that new army of course, £5.99 is a good price if you ask me.

Euro Force will be released on February 8th and sees the introduction of the all-new European Army in 3 new maps. Each Euro soldier will come equipped with a new primary weapon, from the FNP90 to the Benelli Tactical Shotgun. There will also be 4 new vehicles, including the (in)famous Eurofighter.

Armored Fury will be released on March 28th and the focus is on large mechanized battles, harking back to the El Alamein style maps on BF1942. There will be 3 new maps – "Midnight Sun", "Operation Harvest" and "Operation Road Rage" – but also 2 new vehicle classes. Attack Jets and Recon Helicopters, which can spot nearby enemy units, will make their debut.

Opration Road Rage sounds class

but 5.99 for 3 maps sounds OK, its well prices (if thats the price) but.. and its a big one. what will happen if I dont buy this? when EA UK 32 or what ever server i get on gets to this map will i have to leave, or will it be like SF and have its own servers if so 3 maps on a server!!

5.99 is still cheap as chips - I dont think they will do Medals and such for this one tho - although maybe they will..

Any new maps is always a refrensher to any game it may not be everyones cup of tea - but at that price - I cant imagine many ppl having bad things to say about it..

El Alamein that was the one with the 3 lines of concerete turruets right ? with Plane spawns either end of the map ??

the DC version of El Alemain owned, if only for the AC130 gunship. That plane totally owned everything with a few mates in the back on comms
