Battlefield 2: Armored Fury drops players into a deadly confrontation between the Middle Eastern Coalition, Chinese, and U.S. forces following an attempted invasion of America. Three epic new maps set in the USA provide the setting for huge armored warfare. The conflict spreads near the Pacific Ocean in a battle for the Alaskan port of Valdez in Operation Midnight Sun, where Chinese forces are attempting to secure much-needed fuel from the pipeline. Meanwhile, tensions will escalate in Operation Harvest as the MEC army begins their march East towards the U.S. Capital. Can American forces stall the advance long enough for reinforcements to arrive? Finally, Operation Road Rage has MEC forces infiltrating deep into the USA, using the highways to move quickly towards key industrial sites that are dangerously near civilian areas.



Battlefield 2: Armored Fury will be available this Spring exclusively via the EA Downloader at http://downloader.ea.com and will retail for $9.99USD.

Hrmm... another "mini" expansion for BF2? Was Special Forces any good as an expansion, or just same old same old?

One thing that I loved about BF that I thought BF2 failed at was the variation of vehicles within certian classes. Especially tanks. Ex. In the origional you had light medium and heavy tanks. In BF2 you only have Abrams. There was such aplethora of different vehicle class and sub classes. Im not putting BF2 down but I would have likes some more armored vehicles a lighter tanks that was faster a halftrack some more versitle planes maybe add an option that allows you to choose paveway bombs or rockeye canisters when you first jump into a bomber. Or a series of anti radar missles instead of bombs for the fighter. There was so much more that could have been done and I think they realized it but held back so they could sell us the added vehicles. There goes my conspiracy theory for the day but even it it wasnt planned it was a major mistake in forsight to limit the amount of different vehicles as they had. I for one was really disappointed that there was no Apache. THE DAMN THING WAS ON THE COVER OF THE GAME!
Oh well. I guess I'll just make the best of anothers game until I get off my butt to make my own.

I have a stupid question...since I don't fly jets much in the game....how do you drop bombs?

I usually use jets to get to the enemy base quickly to destroy their radar, etc.

The Missles/Bombs trigger is your alt fire you can switch between the two
by changing weapons like you would while running around. You can either select by using numbers/next
weapon/or mouse wheel. Remember
with mouse wheel to alt click to bring the weapon to use, then click it
again to use. There is a way to drop only one bomb at once I have been frustrated
by it because I get it activated everyso often and it is a useful feature \when you dont want to spend your whole bomb load on one target.
Also it is useful to know when you sight an nmy plane you can switch your
weapons over to bombs. This will prevent a missle lock on him but allows
you to follow untill you get into a prime spot for a good attack against the
offending plane. A good time is when they fly over an airfield to
repair/re-arm (which has to be done constantly due to the small amount of ammo for missles and bombs). They will slow down and be flying straight. Switch over to missles and before you even get a lock shoot your cannon at them, then dump all your missles as fast as possible, usally 4 is enough. The first will probably hit the second and third miss and the last hit/kill. The entire engagement to them will last 5 seconds. Less if dumb and some can get away. Only problem is that they will actively hunt you after this in their next life.
