This is to all you BF2 lovers out there. The much anticipated 1.2 patch has finally been released. This should resolve many of the issues that have been effecting the online game play. This is the patch that is supposedly going to eliminate bunny hopping. We shall see how this patch fairs!

In other Battlefield news, the BF2 booster pack “Euro Force” should be released soon considering it was suppose to have a Feb. 8th release. Also, Armored Fury is still on track for a March release.
