New Battlefield 2 booster packs

EA has announced plans to release two new booster packs for hit wartime shooter Battlefield 2.

First up is Euro Force, which will introduce the new European Army and three new maps. Each Euro soldier will come equipped with a new primary weapon, such as the FNP90 or the Benelli Tactical shotgun, and you can expect four new vehicles - including the Eurofighter. The maps are titled Operation Smoke Screen, The Great Wall of China and Taraba Quarry.

The second booster pack, Armored Fury, will put the focus on "large mechanised battles, harking back to the El Alamein style maps on BF1942." It'll feature three new maps - Midnight Sun, Operation Harvest and Operation Smoke Screen - and two new vehicle classes. You'll be able to hoon around in Attack Jets and Recon Helicopters, too.

Euro Force will be released on February 8th, with Armored Fury following on March 28th. They'll both be available online via the EA downloader priced £5.99, or €9.99 if you're foreign.

Look out for a new patch, too. Update 1.2 will enhance the performance of a wide range of vehicles and weapons and will fix a load of bugs, amongst other things. It's out "very soon."
