    This booster pack adds brand new maps and other content to BF2 for a quite cheap price of 10 bucks. I think it's a bargain if you like BF2 and want to play some new really well polished maps.

I think it's a fair addition for the BF2 lovers, and even further expands an already massive game with the previous expansion and booster packs.… Expand

    The addon is nice, being one of the first to play DCmod for Battlefield 1942, i've been aching to see a OH-6A Cauyse Or a AH-6J Little Bird. These are some of the fastest military helo's ever made. The addition of the A10 was welcome as well, although one downside was the size of the maps, they made me feel clausterphobic with being in such big aircraft and such a tiny map.

I would highly recomend EA and dice to remake these maps so that they feel bigger. although being on the ground as apart of the infantry, the maps feel dense and crowded, as well as HUGE. I dont know how they should do it, but i hope the make more maps for Armored Fury.… Expand

    When Dice / EA announced that there were introducing all of these air vehicles but no new tanks or armor, I was worried that this would be another flyboy heaven, where the flyboys get to pound the tanks and infantry to smithereens as easy as pie. Well, it doesn't seem to be working out that way. AF booster pack seems very well balanced between armor, air power and infantry.

Well, it doesn't seem to be working out that way. AF booster pack seems very well balanced between armor, air power and infantry. Not all infantry kits are as useful as others (the anti-tank kit does very well, whereas the support and medic kits won't score you many points, to be sure). The maps are beautiful and seem to be very well designed. There are some choke points but nothing that cannot be worked around without too much effort. The extra ambience added into the maps (the lightning storm overhead in Operation Harvest, the sounds of the howling wolves and loons in Operation Midnight Sun) are terriffic. Racing a fast-moving jeep around the cloverleaf in Operation Road Rage is a real blast, too. If Battlefield 2 is getting a little stale for you, Armored Fury is a real breath of fresh air.… Expand

    Don't believe all the h4ters. If you would ACTUALLY review the content you might be able to provide some insight. The new A-10 (and the SU counterpart) is slow, powerful and fun to fly. It can be easily shot down so piloting requires new strategies to effectively bomb/destroy targets. The new scout choppers are easy to fly and very maneuverable.

The new A-10 (and the SU counterpart) is slow, powerful and fun to fly. It can be easily shot down so piloting requires new strategies to effectively bomb/destroy targets. The new scout choppers are easy to fly and very maneuverable. They have an attached UAV for making capping flags easier (especially with more than 1 soldier). The new maps are fantastic and offer differing styles of gameplay. Operation Harvest doesn't have any planes in it so the folks that have no skill shooting down a plane don't have to whine about it. Worth the money if you love BF2.… Expand

    This is a solid addon for those of you who want to use new choppers and battle in American locales. Sure, it could have been included in the original release but as far as I'm concerned, compared to most games I've paod $50 for, Battlefield 2 has more than justified the procepoint and I have no problem adding more material to an awesome game for only $10.

    Not perfect, but worth shelling out 10 bucks for. Despite the title, there is very little focus on armor. Rather, the focus is more on air-power, which is somewhat more balanced--the three ground-attack planes are all much slower and more vulnerable to anti-air fire, while the scout choppers have a nice anti-infantry kick and UAV-style scanning, but have to keep moving in order to avoid Not perfect, but worth shelling out 10 bucks for.

As for the maps, Midnight Sun is pretty bad (most of the Chinese maps get screwed, I've noticed), Operation Road Rage is decent, and Operation Harvest is godly. I'm serious--this map has to be divinely inspired. It offers perfectly balanced air, armor, and infantry--there are no ground-attack planes, only scout choppers. There is plenty of cover for infantry to hide from scout chopper gatling gunfire and take out tanks. And tanks get a generally wide-open map perfect for exchanging fire with, well, other tanks. Again, perfectly balanced, and the most fun I've had on a BF2 map since Gulf of Oman. Like I said before, Armored Fury is well worth your $10. I review this independently of Patch 1.3, which, for better or for worse, is free and unrelated to AF.… 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.
