Battlefield 2 Patch 1.5

JiNxXx, 2-Sep-09 » This is sourced from Game.On.Net on what is in the new patch! I don't know about you but I am very excited to finally take this patch out and play my heart out on BF2!

The main things to note about this patch is its size - the reason for it being near 2 Gigabytes is that this patch includes both expansions Armored Fury as well as Euro Forces. I guess this means we will now have more maps to play on!

You can download the patch from either;
