BF2 Armored Fury details

By Tom Bramwell Published 2 May, 2006

US maps, new vehicles, more.

EA's announced details of Armored Fury - the second "Booster Pack" for DICE's online shooter Battlefield 2.

Due out this spring for $9.99, Armored Fury will introduce maps set in the USA for the first time.

In an official website update, EA/DICE talks a bit about three of the maps, and says to expect six new vehicles - three scout helicopters, including the MD530 "Little Bird", and three ground attack aircraft like the A10 Warthog.

The maps are Operation Midnight Sun (battle for the Alaskan port of Valdez, where Chinese forces attempt to secure fuel from the pipeline), Operation Harvest (the MEC's marching towards Washington and American forces must halt the advance long enough for reinforcements to turn up), and Operation Road Rage (the MEC are using highways to move stuff toward industrial sites near civilian areas, and presumably you have to thump them for doing so).

The EA site also has a trio of screenshots, giving you an idea of what to expect.

Armored Fury will be released soon, shortly after the 1.3 patch which adds single-player co-op among other options. It's the second BF2 Booster Pack, following the release earlier this year of BF2: Euro Force.

    Well I bought Euro Forces and only played each map once. Big waste of £6. Think I'll pass on this one.

  • Lovemoose #2 6 years ago

    Me too, DD.

    Because what BF2 really needs is more capable ground attack aircraft...

  • Darkedge #3 6 years ago

    oooooh WARTHOG!!!

    Now thats a plane.

    For Christ's sake, stop releasing those addons. Haven't even had time to touch Euro Forces and Special Forces. It's I think time to stop wasting money on BF2

  • bauhaus #5 6 years ago

    Anyone remember when add-ons like this where free?! (BF1942 era)

    and worth it


    (Gotta admit though, allways had a softspot for the warthog)

  • coojam #6 6 years ago

    Oooh but wouldnt it be cool to drive a tank across the White House's lawn. They should release a load of famous land mark maps...I'd pay for that.

    Imagine battling outside Big Ben or, erm, the Birmingham Bull Ring.

    More fragmentation of the BF2 players.

    Then again not really because no-one seems to have bothered with SF or Euroforce and this will be the same again.

    The free addons for BF1942 where great - The Battle of Britain map being pure genius.

    I am hoping these maps will just be massive armour battles. Give me tanks. Lots of tanks.

    I was thinking of getting Euro force but after checking out the server support I decided not to bother. I am sure this new mod will get similar support levels.

    Such a shame this stuff is not getting released free as part of the patch's like back in the BF:1942 days.

    Still we are nearing release of a few major mods from the mod community that should blow these official mods away for content. I am sure server support will not be problem on those either.
