That was a good read, specially when ppl with 9700Pro cards complain they can not come to LANs cuz the games will not run on there systems, but yet going to a x800Pro would do little good.

Since Battlefield 2: Euro Force was delayed and being released with or after patch 1.21, Hope we might be seeing 2 booster packs on March 28th. Electronic Arts announced two new "Booster Packs" for Battlefield 2, each adding new maps, weapons, and vehicles to the fight. Each pack will be available for download directly from EA for a quick $9.99. In Battlefield 2: Euro Force, the European Army joins the Battlefield fray for the first time on PC. Complete with seven new weapons and four new vehicles, the European Army will be sent into battle against MEC and Chinese forces on three brand new maps. "Operation Smoke Screen" takes place amidst the burning wreckage of an oil field on fire. "The Great Wall of China" will see Chinese Forces attempting to repel a European attack in the shadow of the ancient landmark. "Taraba Quarry" takes place in a large canyon which holds a vital tactical advantage. Battlefield 2: Armored Fury will add three new maps, all set in the rural heartland of America where the US forces defend their homeland from Chinese and MEC forces. This Booster Pack will also introduce two new vehicle classes: Attack Jets with the ability to use rocket pods and cluster bombs, and agile Scout Choppers which will reveal nearby enemies. "Midnight Sun" takes place on the Alaskan border, where Chinese forces make landfall. "Operation Harvest" will take the player to the vast open plains of Pennsylvania where only the expert use of air and armor will assure victory. "Operation Road Rage" sees all-out tank warfare on the freeways of America. The Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Warsome Booster Pack will be avalible via xBox live only.

ok get off the short bus and with the program. Boom! Head Shot! nuff said!

Well xFire states it took me 9 hours I added a few just to give it the benifit of a doubt, as 9 hours would really not make the game worth the price the still want to this day for the game. I think HL2 is a better game then fear in the same price range and you get more bang for your buck due to the mod community.

I beat the game in about 12 hours; want me to tell you the ending? Was not that tough on the 2nd to hardest setting and the game get even more repetitive as you go, I was not that impressed.

My moto is *cough* "try before you buy". *cough* :evil:

Great, another 12 hours of repetitive game play and cut scene with the girl from the ring thrown in. Do not get me wrong, the game was good, but not much of a challenge once you had encountered an enemy you just aim and repeat over and over again. Physics were great but that should be a "must" in any game that comes out now. I must add though that the multi player aspect was on par with HL2 which is all good inmy book.

I know a few ppl played Madden @ Octobers LAN that was held @ the Hamburg Fairgrounds

I was looking at this game thinking it used the engine from F.E.A.R. which I found out was a heavily-modified version of LithTech's Jupiter engine. As per what I have read UberSoldier uses a proprietary engine, which is a more advanced version of the same one used in Kreed. If anyone can shead some light on this please do. In the mean time screenies! and a good, insightful review!

EA BF2 Community Update - 2/20/06 "Although patch 1.2 included several fixes that we know were eagerly awaited, it unfortunately introduced some new issues. These are being addressed immediately and we are working around the clock to resolve those. Patch 1.21 (coming soon) will be tested in a limited beta with select Battlefield community members starting as early as this week. We’re doing this to ensure a clean release of 1.21. In addition, we have decided to postpone the Euro Force Booster Pack until sometime after the release of the updated 1.21 patch."
