I bought this add on as soon as it came out. I was happy with the new content and maps. I was also suprised to see that some of the weapons carried back into the original BF2 like the flashbangs for instance. The only problems after installation I had were having to reinstall the 1.12 patch after my SF installation. I had performance issues the original game but cleared all those when I added a second gig of ram.

Great Fun !!

What a great shooter game. But, it is more than just a FP shooter. Being able to get inside different vehicles and drive, go up in towers to be a sniper, have smarter enemies, and get 3rd party additions makes this a great game to play. I do not even play on-line and have a blast.

If you like Battlefield 2 this game is a must have addition. Besides the 6 new maps, including the very populated map "Ghost Town", it is a weapon & career accelerator. For each 2nd tier unlock you have, you will receive a 3rd tier weapon-unlock. Choose wisely and resist loading game too early as i can't say for certain you get extra unlocks in the future.

I loaded just after 5000 score and 4 unlocks and received 4 additional unlocks. It will be few weeks before my next unlock. I personally believe I'll get extra when I hit 8000 but the net is split on this issue.

The other expansion - Euro Pack only makes sense if loaded right after Special Forces because ..........It only gives two unlocks which are specific. Snipper and I forget the other. Use the combo
correctly for max effect and it's lock & load - Rock & Roll, you've got the WORKS even though your still a noob (new be) !

SIDE NOTE: BF2 has years to go and you'll want these extra weapons. There are massive high quality MODS approved by EA. including single player-COOP- and regular Multi, all free on the Net.

Battlefield 2: Special Forces, though not adding much to the genre, is a solid game from EA. This expansion adds new maps, armies, weapons and vehicles. The only reason most of the people how purchased this did buy it was for the "Double Unlock" System, where you get double the unlocks for every rank. (clever, eh?)Though this means that the game's addition content burnt through very quickly there is always the strive for higher ranks.

Back to the expansion.

This gives a solid performance but when it comes to finding quality games with a variety of maps where the server is fun and enjoyable for all parties, that is where the game is lacking. Aswell as making SF and Vanilla into one single button so there is no need for alternation.

Multi-play is fun some of the time

Multi-player online works great, but the level of fun is determined by:
1) The skill of the player
2) The teamwork of your co-players

It would be great if there were different servers for different skill levels. I'm not that good, and I get wasted whenever I play because there are usually players who have devoted their entire lives to this game killing me left and right.

Can your computer handle it soldier?

First off this is the BEST first person shooter game on the market right now. I have a computer with 2gigs of low latency ram and a rocking $600.00 512mb graphics card and my machine still gets very hot, hot, hot. It runs perfectly on my machine and is one of the funnest games I have to date. The minimum requirements of this game to run are a joke you will HATE it because it will be very crashy. I recommend at least 1 gig of ram and a 256 video card and no less than 2.0 on your processor.

Amazing

BF2: Special Forces is an incredible expansion for an incredible game. Many people post reviews saying the nighttime mode is bad. Lies. Night maps are just as fun. They take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, they're awesome. Some people complain of loading times and lag. Well, duh, if your computer sucks, the game will suck.

Basically, if your PC is 3GHz+, buy this game.

Don't waste your money

Full of potential but what a letdown! The game has a hard time loading and I have the latest and "greatest" in speed etc of a machine. The frame rates stink, the patch for a "fix" has to be downloaded and takes a L_O_N_G time. There are bugs throughout the game. A real disappointment from EA Games. Unless you have 30 bucks to throw away, and lots of time to waste sitting at your pc trying to fix bugs don't bother.

Crashes because it can't find its own files

The game won't load because it can't find a file. The folder it is looking in is empty. So I find the file manually and put it where the program wants it. Then I can load the game, but I can't join any servers because the game has been "modified."

I looked for a patch on the website. It's not very clear if there is any patch for Special Forces. The only patch listed on the Official Special Forces website is for the base game from 2005, and appears to be several versions old.

OK, let's send an e-mail to EA. Ha! You can't just send an e-mail to EA. You have to create a website account or join forums and all kinds of stuff.

This isn't even a new expansion pack. It's pathetic enough that EA is still shipping defective software, but they don't even make it easy to fix their product that you paid for.

Save your money and buy games from a company that can actually make working games.

Very fast update:
I tried to install the patch listed on the Special Forces page, and oh the joyous surprise, the link to the copy on EA's own website doesn't work! EA would be completely non-functional if it weren't for free file hosting services doing their job for them.
