Battlefield 2:  Next Patch Gets New Map

The outrageously popular PC shooter Battlefield 2 has revealed that a new patch is in the works. On the official Battlefield 2 page, a post in the Community Update section gives cybersoldiers their first sample of what to expect in the next update.

The Road to Jalalabad map; which has been running on test servers, will be on of the biggest additions to the game. The map will be free of charge and will not be part of a booster pack.  In addition to the map, improvements with gameplay, bug fixing, and issue resolving are only a small chunk of the big changes being made with the patch.  More details are expected to be announced in the future.

The open beta test for the patch will be scheduled for July. DICE did not mention any specific time frame for the patch's release.  

Battlefield 2:  Armored Fury

With Battlefield 2: Armored Fury, EA and DICE are going forward with their plan to release new content for their popular multiplayer action game in the form of booster packs. Available online only through EA, these booster packs don't have quite as much content as a traditional expansion pack, but then again, they also feature a price that's less than half that of traditional expansions. In Armored Fury, the ongoing world war between the United States, China, and the fictional Middle Eastern Coalition arrives on American soil, and players will once again have to battle on huge levels, either on foot or in a variety of military vehicles.
