Battlefield 2 expansion out soon

Plus: new patches released.

After countless delays due to patch issues, Electronic Arts has announced that new expansion pack Battlefield 2: Euro Forces will be released on March 15th via the EA downloader.

Euro Forces will see you battling against the MEC and Chinese armies as you attempt to take control of all-new locations across Asia. Expect lots of new weapons and vehicles including attack helicopters, battle tanks and assault rifles.

EA has also released two new patches for the original Battlefield 2. The first is only 14MB and updates version 1.2 to version 1.21, fixing various bugs. The second 351MB patch updates a fresh install of the game. Both patches are available on Eurofiles, and you can find full details of what they do over on EA's FTP site.
