    If you said to me, "there is an add-on for BF2, called Armored Fury!" I would say, "Great, more tanks, tank battles, anything but the over powered air assets!" Imagine my shock when you find there are no new tanks, no increased numebr of tanks on a map, and there are more planes, to destroy the one or two tanks on the map.

    This is an outrage im mean $9.99 for this, and everyone does not play on the same server, its stuid and pointless. COunterstrike:source is better in every way and so is call of duty 2

    Its a waste of money. The best thing is the background music while loading maps. And after Patch 1.3 you cant play the game caused by so many bugs. The maps are not really good and fast you will et tired of it.

    Definately a financial scam when a company is able to release what is essentially a patch and charge $9.99 for it. But since about half the gaming population will want it, the rest need to buy it to play on the current version. It's really unfair to the gamers (1 expansions pack and 2 "booster packs" in less than a year of release)... for shame.

    I'm tired of all-armor expansions. The best levels in the basic game have limited or no armor. Why can't EA make more good infantry levels? BF2 is too often reduced to a rush for the armor and air power, followed by long, drawn-out massacres of infantry, making the game fun only for those who won the race to the armor.

    Unfortunately, overall, the 3 new maps and few new aircraft do not feel like a product to be purchased, but rather a patch to be added. Even though the price is cheap, the overall value especially with the continuing glitches of the game makes it feel as if I am being scrubbed for just a bit more money. The maps themselves are pretty well designed and offer some new topography and Unfortunately, overall, the 3 new maps and few new aircraft do not feel like a product to be purchased, but rather a patch to be added. Even though the price is cheap, the overall value especially with the continuing glitches of the game makes it feel as if I am being scrubbed for just a bit more money. The maps themselves are pretty well designed and offer some new topography and strategies to play, of course, that is if you can find a server running the booster pack. No new armies and no new weapons feels like opportunity lost and over all, BF2 has not been functioning very well of late. Again, we are hoping that patch 1.4 will give us a base product that functions well. All that said I go back to the fact that the booster packs and their content feel like addendums to patches that should have been released to a community that has been more then patient waiting for a game to get all its kinks worked out. Had there been more content, even another army and some new infantry weapons it may have been worth it. Shame, because had they been given freely to the community a whole lot more people would be playing them. As someone else said above, I find myself returning to the base game for various reasons and my $ poorly spent.… Expand

    I feel as if I have been robbed. I unfortunately dropped $10 on this pile of crap called Armored Fury. The maps looked neat enough and I like A-10s, so it seemed like a win-win situation. Well, I was wrong. Sure the maps look great, but the gameplay isn't all that different from Battlefield 2; well, that is if you can play Armored Fury long enough!

Sure the maps look great, but the gameplay isn't all that different from Battlefield 2; well, that is if you can play Armored Fury long enough! This game locks up my computer at random. Sometimes I can manage to play nearly an hour, but more than often I cannot play longer than a few minutes without having to reboot my computer. And it's not just me, many others are having this problem too. My computer is perfectly within the recommended specifications to play this game, but it freezes anyway. Without the expansion installed, my game runs perfectly fine. I have contacted technical support and they refuse to acknowledge that anything is wrong. I really think EA knows the problem, but it appears they are doing very little about it because the 1.4 beta patches #1 and #2 do not solve the issue (and by the way, who releases BETA patches?! Lunacy I say!). In the end, even if you did get the game to work, you will likely be disappointed. It seems as though the A-10 has been nerfed to death and the new littlebird helicopter is extremely difficult to pilot. All this content really should have been free and also WITHOUT bugs!… Expand

    Of the three maps, Operation Road Rage stands out the most since teams would be hectically fighting back-and-forth for the crucial center control point. However, if you're not a big fan of using aircraft in Battlefield 2, then this booster doesn't offer a huge amount.

    With some nice added content and balanced gameplay, Armored Fury is a nice booster pack for an already terrific game. Plus, at just 10 bucks, the price is certainly right for fans looking to add more substance.

    By presenting a slightly less intense version of the game, the cooperative mode makes it easier for less experienced players to jump in and see what all the fuss is about. At ten bucks, you can hardly complain.
