BF2: Special Forces Downloads - New EA Service [November 10, 2005, 11:22 pm ET] - 35 Comments
This Battlefield 2 Update (thanks Frans) announces that Battlefield 2: Special Forces is available for purchase and download online, with the game available fro pre-download as of now. This release of the BF2 expansion kicks off a new digital distribution service from EA that's strikingly similar to Steam, Valve's way of circumventing traditional publishers like, well, EA. Word is that those who preload will be able to play the game on November 22 at 1:00 pm EST, suggesting the add-on is near complete, if not actually gold.
