| Battlefield 2 Special Forces |
There"s some really great new content in Special Forces that builds on the
strengths of Battlefield 2. Special Forces adds a total of eight new maps,
including a spaceport complete with a launching pad and rocket, gutted-
out cities, an airfield, and an island. All these maps have an infantry-heavy
focus, even on their larger, 64-player variants, and that"s good news to
Battlefield 2 fans, since the most popular levels in the core game are the
urban ones, such as Strike at Karkand. The other good news is that the
expansion features a number of urban levels similar to Karand and Sharqi
Peninsula. In fact, they may be a bit too familiar, as there are some
buildings and objects recycled from the core game. Still, there"s enough
new content in the levels to differentiate them from their predecessors
and to provide more urban playgrounds to romp around in. For example,
there"s a palace level in which one side has to battle through a city to
the palace"s gates and then into the palace itself, which provides a large
mix of indoor and outdoor combat. Yet perhaps the best new map is a
reverse amphibious assault, in which the Middle Eastern Coalition forces
must board and take over a US aircraft carrier defended by Navy SEALs;
the action takes place on the carrier"s deck, in its vast hangar bays,
and in its corridors and rooms below....
