I've been playing BF2 for about 2 years now (24k ,273hrs) and still loving it, I purchased the special forces pack as you got better weapon unlocks. I only play Karkand and Jalibad maps, is it worth buying the new armed forces update? does it give more weapons or the like?
BF2 update or not?

Most of the servers running Euro Forces and Armoured Fury are USA based and the pings are high ... some good maps but like everyone else has said hard to justify parting with cash for them ....
You only play Karkand and Jalibad maps? - Plenty of other good maps in the game to get stuck into - Why waste your money on any of the expansion packs tbh.

if anyone seriously plays for stats, then they are tards! thats why you get games like css or dod, where you play, cause you have nothing better to do. BF2 is played for fun, unlocks are just a present for loyalty.
True, but they do play a part in self improvment, be it sniper, chopper etc..
Also good when your in a clan and showing off in
My 2nd and 3rd most played maps are SF maps, 5th is AF and 6th is an EF map
My 2nd most played map is "Iron Gator" on SF. The 'mission' is clear-cut : MEC attack the carrier and USMC defend it until the bitter end. First half of the round usually consists of the MEC relentlessly trying to get a foothold on the carrier whatever way they can, attacking from air and sea. After the first flag is capped, cue the sweeping firefight along the ship down the hallways and deck. Brilliant blend of sea, air and close-quarters battle - all in the same place.
"Warlord" is my 3rd most played - it's basically the SF equivalent of Karkand, but faster (quad bikes, triple-gun vehicles, 4x4's, zip-lines and grappling hooks to get you around the map faster) and with brilliant chaotic firefights in the palace at the north when you get opposing forces holding flags on each side of the building.
AF is great for part-time jet and heli whores like myself. Take "Operation Road Rage" - two A-10's and their amazing gattling guns, two SU-39's, no AA missiles so you _have_ to use the guns in dogfights (cue very long dog fights, flying through bridges and hangers trying to shake that A-10 off) and the super-manoverable "little bird" choppers with chain guns and seats on each side. I've got over 80 hours on that map and counting...
Operation Smoke Screen from EF is my 6th most played - I think they got the maps for EF and AF mixed up, because I've never seen tank battles like the ones in Smoke Screen on any other map. If your team is doing well you can end up with 8 tanks, 4 jets and 4 attack heli's knocking on your enemy's base - It's an intense map.
In my opinion SF and AF are well worth the dosh - I think they have some of the best maps in the game, I just wish more servers played them (especially the case with AF and EF)
Taking a price of 25 quid for SF, and a tenner for AF - it works out at 6 pence per hour for SF and 9 pence per hour for AF for the time I've played on them - a good deal in my book!
