For those who may still care. Hopefully the patch comes first and fixes all the crap the previous patch "improved."

Quote:
The Battlefield 2 Euro Force™ Booster Pack is scheduled for release, and will be available for download at $9.99 USD via the EA downloader, on Wednesday March 15th.

The European Union joins the battle in, Battlefield 2: Euro Force™, the first booster pack for Battlefield 2™. Take the powerful new Euro Force into action against Middle Eastern Coalition and Chinese armies as you battle for control of all-new Asian locations.

Battlefield Battlefield 2: Euro Force™ takes you on the offensive admist burning oil fields, the Great Wall of China, and the immense Taraba Quarry , each having a unique tactical advantage on the battlefield.

The action escalates in each new map with the latest high-tech vehicles and weapons including attack helicopters, battle tanks, assault rifles, and much more.

The Battlefield 2 game engine and physics system brings the modern battlefield to life like never before. The material penetration feature measures weapons' ability to fire through barriers based on their composition and players will need to know the difference between concealment and cover in order to survive.

Team play features allow players to enter the action on the front lines as part of a formal squad, or work behind the scenes in Commander Mode to direct the strategic assaults of their teammates.

Developed by Digital Illusions Canada, Battlefield 2: Euro Force™ is rated "T" (Teen) by the ESRB. Battlefield 2: Euro Force™ will be available for $9.99 USD via download at www.downloader.ea.com/codes/en_US/bf2euro

Here is My edited version:

The Battlefield 2 Turd Force™ Booster Pack is scheduled for release, and will be available for download at $399.99 USD via the EA downloader, on Wednesday March 15th. But we usually screw it up so plan on late December 2006.

The Shi-ite Union joins the battle in, Battlefield 2: Turd Force™, the first booster pack for Battlefield 2™ chock full of bugs and annoyances. Take the powerful new Turtle Head Force into action against Poopy Coalition and Chinese Dung armies as you battle for control of the leach fields.

Battlefield Battlefield 2: Turd Force™ takes forever to download and then, will not install properly. Become more annoyed as you increase your " VERIFYING CLIENT DATA" time. The Great BOWL of China, and the immense Taraba Dumping Grounds , each having a unique stench, only found in the Turd Pack Dowload.

Your colon will tickle in excitement as the purging escalates in each new map with the latest diaretics and enemas.
Try the new Rice Krispy Enema for that special, "Snap, Crackle Pop" sensation, Or give you enemy the ultimate Golden Shower.

The Battlefield 2 game engine will lose your player stats and give you error messages like never before. The anal penetration feature measures how bad you were screwed by EA based on how many times you pay for our add-ons.

Team play features allow players to enter the action with Turd Flinging on the front lines, or work behind the scenes in Commode Mode forcing large drops on the enemy.

Are they ever going to offer these retail? I hate the idea of expansion packs over the internet because of one reason: They will never go on sale. Why should they when they have a lock down on the distribution channel?

At least I was able to pick up BF1942 with all the expansion packs on the cheap a few years later, even though sercet weapons was crapilicious.

Damn. I just know this is absolutely correct. The downloader is just going to get crushed. The same guy that designed the SF Exp interface probably did the capacity planning for the downloader feature. It's not going to go well.

I didn't have an issue with the downloader when SF came out, though maybe that was because so many people bought the CD.

In case you haven't seen it, there's a post over at totalbf2.com detailing the three new maps (with pics). Looks like there's going to be something for everyone.

[edit]Looking closer, it appears that Operation Smoke Screen has 4 tanks at each base spawn. CONVOYEEEEEEEE!

While that sounds awesome, when I consider the fact that it seems to take 3 hits from one tank to kill another more often than not, it sounds less awesome.

Unless of course we're on TS and one person in the tanks designates a single target at a time, and we're all engineers. Which would be hilarious.

I don't follow - would you prefer it take less shots? To me, more shots = more strategy and less twitch.

For those of you who didn't purchase SF, are you going to grab the $10 booster?

Think of the poor infantry. All you need to take out those tanks is 16 missiles....

We'd need at least one support for resupply.

Is it me, or do the RPG's hit harder that the standard game AT Missiles/Rockets?

They do hit harder. I can always take a humvee/hadji out in one shot with the RPG. With a AT or even a tank round, most of the time it takes two rounds to take out a full health humvee. Plus you gotta love the fire and forget of the RPG. Having to stay exposed to guide the AT can suck. There are, sometimes, opportunities to guide the AT into a target that is on the other side of a hill or around the edge of a building so that that you remain out of view. I love when I can pull that move off.

That really bugged me about the expansion (aside from the fact it seemed like all of the SF weapons are a hojillion times better than the base weapons) because the RPG is kind of a piece of sh*t in real life. Well... the RPG-14 is pretty effective, but still.

Oh, is there a way I can sucessfully free up the unlocks for LAN play without having to connect to the internet? A bunch of me and my army buddies would like to play with the cooler weapons without having to play on the sh*tty maps. I know the .cfg file change doesn't work anymore.

Reaper, in real life woiuldn't the SPRAW be a total kill with one hit? I think I know the Javelin would be.

And I miss playing BF with you.

Is it top attack? If it's top attack, the answer is yes. I've got some great footage of TOW2B's in NLOS (non-line-of-sight, IE: top-attack) that will make your jaw drop.

Not any that have been announced. Just new maps and new factions with the associated new vehicles.
