Attention Soldiers!

Later today we will announce the Battlefield 2: Armored Fury™ booster pack for Battlefield 2™ which brings all-out mechanized battles to US soil for the first time. Maps set in the US have been requested by the community for quite some time, and we are pleased to deliver three that set the stage for huge armored warfare battles.

3 NEW MAPS

* Operation Midnight Sun: The conflict spreads near the Pacific Ocean in a key battle for the Alaskan port of Valdez, where Chinese forces are attempting to secure much-needed fuel from the pipeline.
* Operation Harvest: The MEC army begins their march East towards the U.S. Capital, and American forces must stall the advance long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
* Operation Road Rage: The MEC forces have infiltrated deep into the USA, and are using the highways to move quickly towards key industrial sites that are dangerously near civilian areas.

To balance the wide-open tank battles with aerial firepower, six new vehicles will be introduced, including 3 scout helos such as the MD 530 ?Little Bird?, and 3 ground attack aircraft like the A10 Warthog.

In addition, patch 1.3 is on the way, and with it comes single player co-op support, so you can grab a friend and tackle the bots as a team. More details to follow, so stay frosty!

Does "Later today we will announce the Battlefield 2: Armored Fury™ booster pack for Battlefield 2™" mean that it will be released today or are they just saying that they will officially announce it today or something?

[imported_G.I.Jersey]

I would think that EA/Dice would release the 1.3 patch first. Hey I think I can see my house in one of those screenshots! :) Looks like the New Jersey Turnpike.

[TheHairyYeti]

Yes it will be released after patch 1.3 in May. Yeah the website was a little confusing. The three new maps are set in U.S., will be very cool.

[xero]

alright, thats what I was thinking... thanks.

[Stomp-GoA-]

swweeeettttttt,


But they ****ed up. A-10's dont have after burners.


but anyway

ssssswwwweeeeeeeettttttttttt

[machstem]

Is that lightning in the background? If so, I REALLY hope it's not static! :)

Looks nice, I might get it for the sake of getting it...then again, I might wait and see what others do. The promise of Battlefield on western soil is ironically enjoyable.

PEACE

[p0is0n]

If this is a mechanised warfare booster what was Euro Forces :laugh: :laugh:

But seriously, it looks good, nice to see we'll be getting access to more maps soon :D

[TriggerSpasm]

me want littlebird, me want littlebird, me want littlebird...did i say me want little bird? :laugh:

[N2K]

No you havent.

[imported_Tom|Nbk]

[TriggerSpasm]

No you havent.
ah in that case, ME WANT LITTLEBIRD! :D

[Widkidone]

TriggerSpasm i love the avator!

[imported_Tom|Nbk]

ah in that case, ME WANT LITTLEBIRD! :D

what do you want?

[2112AWG]

Man what a great close to this series. Weather effect as well which look like they will rock. I was starting to get a little worried that maybe it was being considered them dropping this booster. I can't wait to see what the 3rd map will look like and really hope they indeed add snow in it considering the location its set in. I know one thing some fun non combat related things coming as well. Highway racing anyone?

[Metal_Storm]

I like it, I wish tho that there was a mod where, when I pwn someone, that where there body falls, a little white cross is planted in the ground then at the end of the map all these little crosses are all over the map, with n00b pwned by Metal haha ;)

[TriggerSpasm]

what do you want?

now you're milking it, you must be from south england right? :laugh: if you can spot the manip in my signature you can have a cookie

[xero]

kill? what the hell does manip mean?

[k0nsl]

Will this thing cost money? It does look good.

-k0nsl

[xero]

yes, it will cost money. everything costs money

[Sirorange]

Armoured Fury released today? I will respond as a BF2 commander does...Negatory!

[TriggerSpasm]

Will this thing cost money? It does look good.

-k0nsl

5 quid as last time I believe

[xXMMMSXx]

kill? what the hell does manip mean?

Maipulation I believe. Look for the LITTLEBIRD in his signature.

EF was around £6 ($10) and AF is beileved to be the same. I for one hope it has much more draw than EF does though or it will just gather dust and make me cry.

[WDA_Endless954]

Anyone have any clue when this is coming out? Other than sometime in May?

[TVR_Fan]

Announce would mainly mean new news or extra info.

[fzuazo]

I will pay 10 bucks just for the warthog...

[[MyIS]DAD_23]

FINALLY on U.S. soil.
Hell ya!
Looks pretty good.
I'm down Y0

[xXMMMSXx]

I will pay 10 bucks just for the warthog...

Same goes for me concerning the Littlebird, I hope it's a portable UAV though. My mate pointed out that it's got miniguns so is likely to be whored a lot though.

:mad:

[Zero]

Ok so the idea is that the patch is going to come out first, right? and if so when do you think that is?

[Nintendogamer]

i think AF will be relesed before Patch 1.3. dont ask why, its just a hunch.

[xXMMMSXx]

AF may rely on the patch (Like Euro Forces) so don't bet on it.

[TriggerSpasm]

Maipulation I believe. Look for the LITTLEBIRD in his signature.

EF was around £6 ($10) and AF is beileved to be the same. I for one hope it has much more draw than EF does though or it will just gather dust and make me cry.

anyway as I asked in a thread that got locked I think, you the same MMMS from GTAF?

[xXMMMSXx]

I am indeed. :eek:

[fzuazo]

I hope to god the A-10 handles heavy...exactly as it did in DC.

"If you wanna hang out, you have to take her out...A-10"
"If you wanna get down, down on the ground...A-10"
"She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie...A-10"

Sorry, I couldn't help myself...I am at work and bored =(

[Cataphract_40]

Lookin' forward to playing on the home soil for once!

[DesertFalcon]

i dont think it will be all that good realisim wise but i think a good amount of peopele will

[Khan Project]

I kinda like the A10 model from the DCon crew better than the EA one.

[StalkerZERO]

ZOMGS!!!!! WHEN DAMIT WHENNNN??????? :confused: :confused: :cry:

ZOMGS!!!!! WHEN DAMIT WHENNNN??????? :confused: :confused: :cry:

Ok, I have a real question now......but that doesn't mean I don't want to know when the release is! :mad:
Anyways, will the littlebird handle any differently from say a cobra? I mean will it be faster or more agile?
thanks.

[Iconix]

Im hoping both!

[MedicManiac]

Looks like the New Jersey Turnpike.

YAY! They are gonna kill it! :yay:
