Forces attempting to repel a European attack in the shadow of the ancient

MEC forces. This Booster Pack will also introduce two new vehicle classes:
Attack Jets with the ability to use rocket pods and cluster bombs, and agile
Scout Choppers which will reveal nearby enemies. “Midnight Sun” takes place on
the Alaskan border, where Chinese forces make landfall. “Operation Harvest” will
take the player to the vast open plains of Pennsylvania where only the expert
use of air and armor will assure victory. “Operation Road Rage” sees all-out
tank warfare on the freeways of America.
Battlefield 2: Euro Force and Battlefield 2: Armored Fury are developed by
