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!

original post BF2 Tracker post here

With A-10s and im assuming they might throw in the SU Frogfoot for the other side, and with the little birds, its gonna be like the old Desert Combat battles. I CANT WAIT!

the rocket pods on the planes are gonna be flippin' sweet as well!

this one might actually be worth buying

The models look like complete shit. They look out of proportion and sort of "cuddly". Like you would see in one of those saturday morning cartoons about talking airplanes.

"Aww it's so cute... And coming right for me..."

<explosion>

"That's okay, cause it was cute and cuddly, and now my body has been vaporized..."

Amraam · 05-07-2006, 07:15 PM

Very cool, but the A-10 doesnt have afterburners in RL.

LOL, nothing like being picky

Fire from the turbo fans.

Caslon · 05-08-2006, 02:35 AM

Ok..finally a pic of those engines on what I believe is a Warthog?
The engines are longer and more slender than the big fat round jet engines that warthogs use.

Because of desert storm, the warthog escaped being put in mothballs.
However, the warthog is due to be mothballed well before 2142.

I bet it's gonna be a damn good tank killer in 2142 tho.

BenSpazz · 05-08-2006, 02:52 AM

caslon... WTF are u talking bout dude?

we are talking bout the expansion for BF2. not BF2142.

Caslon · 05-08-2006, 03:00 AM

My bad..I lost track. I was about to delete my post.

Thanks for the reminder.

Lame me. I have a bad case of shingles at the moment. The meds to knock back the pain and virus are kicking in big time...clouding my reasoning at times.

Shingles are a form of chicken pox that lays dormat in your spinal cord for decades and re-emerges for reasons science doesn't understand.
It then migrates thru nerve tissue.
Resulting in a herpes type condition. My left eye is almost swollen shut at the momemt. The term shingles originates from latin-roman times and translates into the word "belt." This is because many outbreaks of shingles happens around your waist. It also happens on the left side of your face. I have that form of shingles..left side of face. I'll get thru it.

Bare with me guys, I think its the meds that made me forget that this topic was about Euro Forces and not 2142.

How long have you had this? Four years?

Caslon · 05-08-2006, 03:11 AM

Navallord..that reply of yours is very cunning, calculated, devious, anal and lame. I erred and you jump right on it in a sarcastic way.

That about sums you up.

Here's a url diary of someone that has a preety bad case of shingles and has courage too.

http://www.demonshand.com/

My outbreak is not as serious as hers..yet.
If any of you had immunization shot for chicken pox (started in 1995), you may or may not contract shingles. Only thing is....they use the chicken pox virus in the immunization shots...so you may contract shingles someday.

That sucks, don't die

Herpes....he he he

Caslon · 05-08-2006, 03:26 AM

I'm seeing an opthomolgist tomorrow...as some rare cases can lead to blindness.
The damn bugger virus creeps thru nerve tissue and sets up camp in various parts of your body. Usually around your stomach area..but also on one side of your face.

Yes..technically..it is a form of herpes.

The meds I'm taking kinda wooze me out. I mistook Euro pak for 2142.
It's the med I take for nerve pain that is giving me the buzz.

Whatever...ignore my posting about the warthog..and me thinking it is part of 2142.

Thanks for your patience..and no reason to carry on about my shingles situation. I'll survive.

Mad Monk · 05-08-2006, 05:16 AM

Damn, that's one of the diseases that I thought nobody got anymore, like Polio. That sucks man, hope you get better soon.

mrhahn · 05-08-2006, 07:12 AM

Nobody gets it because most people are infected with chickenpox at a young age (on purpose). Chickenpox isn't dangerous (usually), but as a result of that you build up antibodies - the same antibodies that are used to fight off shingles in later life.

So the moral of the story is always give your kids chicken pox

Caslon · 05-08-2006, 07:56 AM

Umm..no mrhahn. Shingles result later on as a result of the chicken pox virus laying dormat in your spine for decades (if you had chicken pox as a child).

For reasons unknown to science, due to immune system weakness or whatever, the virus moves out of it's dormat state from the spine area and travels thru the body via innumerable nerves cells.

It can travel to your face or your stomach area. The term shingles is from a latin-roman term meaning "belt" as it often attacks people around the stomach area.

Another note...in 1995..chicken pox shots were first available, and man may see an end to Shingles. However...Since the chicken pox vaccine includes chicken pox...children vaccinated for chicken pox MAY get shingles later on in life.

I've got the shingles big time....I googled everything about it.
