Well it appears that our very own <b>xXMMMSXx</b> has helped TotalBF2 leave its mark on a recent article over at <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3148559" target="_blank">1UP.com</a>. The article deals with the accidental leak of Euro Force through the EA downloader as well as claims a date for the patch/booster pack release. Here's what they had to say:<blockquote>Within the next ten years, says Electronic Arts European VP of sales Dr. Jens Uwe Intat, "all entertainment media will be downloaded to a device." This week, though, the road remains rocky. On March 1st, an EA downloader snafu made forthcoming Battlefield 2 (PC) booster pack Euro Force available for purchase and play a full two weeks prior to its scheduled release. For a period of 18 hours, fans including those at TotalBF2.com's forums played via LAN connections (a lack of server clients prevented online play), and posted screens and impressions.
Like fan favs Strike at Karkand and Sharqi Peninsula, Great Wall, one of Euro Forces three new maps, favors infantry over armor and aircraft. In fact jeeps, mobile anti-aircraft platforms, and tanks are its only vehicles.
TotalBF2.com member "xXMMMSXx" likens map Operation Smoke Screen to movie Jarhead-small villages scattered amid vast burning oilfields. With little to no cover, it's a groundpounders battle between armor and the odd A10 tankbusting aircraft. Tanks are so plentiful that players report advancing in formation, four at a time.
Taraba Quarry, the third map, is said to look and play much like BF2's Zatar wetlands-in other words, too much acreage, too little cover for exciting infantry engagement, but open season for sharp-shooting flyboys and APC crews.
EA delayed Euro Force's digital launch to coincide with the release of BF2 patch 1.21 when its 1.2 patch proved troublesome. (Bugs include missile-launching oil stations, wonky Blackhawk helicopter flares, and super-duper defibrillator paddles to name a few.)
At present, EA's plans are to release patch 1.21 on March 10 with Euro Force following on March 15.</blockquote>Nice to see one of our members as well as our site featured on another news source. For those who did snag Euro Force early, enjoy the pre-release time you get to play it. For all the others waiting, you'll have to wait just a little bit longer!
