Installing the Game
Your Battlefield 2™: Complete Collection disc contains the Battlefield 2™ base
game, plus the Battlefield 2: Special Forces™ expansion pack and the Battlefield
2: Euro Force™ and Battlefield 2: Armored Fury™ booster packs. The installation
software on your Battlefield 2: Complete Collection disc will install all of these
titles in sequence.
Note: For system requirements, see battlefield.ea.com.
To install Battlefield 2: Complete Collection :
1. Close all open programs and background tasks, including virus scanners (see
Performance Tips on p. 32 for more info).
2. Insert the Battlefield 2: Complete Collection disc into your DVD-ROM drive. The
Autorun menu appears.
Note: If the Autorun menu does not automatically appear, click the Start button
from the Windows Taskbar and select Run…. Type D:\Autorun.exe in the Run
dialog box, then click OK (substitute the correct letter of your DVD-ROM drive if

3. Click the INSTALL button on the Autorun menu, then follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the installation.
Note: During the installation process you are prompted to restart your computer.
It is recommended that you choose “No, I will restart my computer later.” If you

process to complete you will need to use the AutoRun menu INSTALL option
again in order to continue with the Battlefield 2: Special Forces, Battlefield 2: Euro

that the installation process is completed in its entirety during the first installation.
You only need to restart your computer at the end of the complete installation
process.
Note: Following the installation of Battlefield 2: Special Forces, the Battlefield 2
1.41 patch installs. The patch may take several minutes to extract files, so do not
be alarmed if the installation appears to pause for some time.

Game Screen
Your game screen consists of the main game area as well as head’s up display

learn to read the information presented to you and be prepared to act on it quickly
and decisively.

Vehicle HUDs
All vehicle HUDs include a vehicle damage meter, which appears to the right of
your health meter. Some vehicle HUDs have warning indicators that signal you if
your aircraft is in an enemy heat-seeking missile’s crosshairs or if another pilot
has a missile lock on your aircraft. After the enemy missile has been fired, this
warning indicator becomes more pronounced, at which point you better deploy
flares to cover your evasive maneuver (or bail out!). Similarly, some tanks can
deploy smoke to counter enemy guided missiles.


Advanced Weapons HUDs
The HUDs for advanced weapons perform different functions depending upon the
weapon.
Heat-Seeking If you keep your target icon on a heat source—namely, an
Missiles enemy aircraft—long enough, a clear tone will indicate that
you have a lock on it. Fire away!
Wire-Guided Whether firing from a stationary anti-tank missile launcher,
Missiles an armored personnel carrier (APC), or the anti-tank kit
weapon, you can guide your missile in-flight to some extent
by repositioning the target icon.
TV-Guided When you are in the gunner position of certain helicopters,
Missiles right-click to switch to TV-guided missiles. Your HUD
becomes the monitor view from the on-missile camera. You
can change the missile’s trajectory in-flight by repositioning
the cursor and left-clicking.

indicates a lock, then let the missile rip!

change maps) from the pull-down menu or to access the different tabs.

✪ Your total score represents how many points you’ve earned toward rewards
and unlocks. It factors in your kills, deaths, and teamwork score. You gain
teamwork points by performing tasks related to your kit. For more information
on teamwork points, see Soldier Kits on p. 11.

Squads
One of the biggest and most exciting new features in Battlefield 2 is the squad
system. Now it’s easier than ever to frag with your friends!
Joining a squad automatically connects you with your squadmates via a voice
over Internet protocol (VOIP) channel. If you have a working microphone, you’re
set! Communication is essential, particularly with your squad leader. When he
issues an order, listen up, because it’s in your interest to keep him alive; As long
as he’s living, and your team has at least one control point, you and other squad
members can access a special spawn point at his location.
Another reason to listen to your squad leader is that he’s the only squad
member who can talk to the commander, and as such is in a position to receive
information unavailable to the rest of the squad.

Creating Squads
Form your own squad by pressing f or by accessing the Squad screen (press
h or c) and clicking CUSTOM SQUAD. When you press f the squad is
automatically named for you. If you create a squad via the CUSTOM SQUAD button
you must give it your own name and password and then click APPLY.
✪ Leave a squad at any time by clicking LEAVE on the Squad screen.
Note: When you leave a squad which you created, your first assigned squad
member takes command of the squad.

10
Managing Squads
Invite others to join your squad by clicking MANAGE SQUAD on the Squad screen.
Manage Squad also lets you kick players out of your squad.
Note: These options are only available to you if you are the squad leader.

Commo Rose
Use the Commo Rose to send pre-set messages quickly to your team- or
squadmates. Press and hold Q to bring up the Commo Rose for team commands
or T for squad commands, then click the communication you wish to send. All
of your teammates receive team transmissions, while only squadmates receive
squad transmissions.
✪ To reveal the position of an enemy vehicle or soldier to your teammates, target
the enemy with your crosshair, access the Commo Rose, then select SPOTTED.

Soldier Kits
Join a team of soldiers with different skills and work together to survive the
frenzied close-quarters combat of Battlefield 2. Choose your team—U.S. Marines,
People’s Liberation Army, or Middle East Coalition troops—then choose the role
you want to play on that team.
✪ The up/down arrow icon next to a weapon on the Spawn screen means you
can select different weapons for that kit. A lock icon indicates you must
unlock the different weapons.
✪ Read below for ways you can earn teamwork points towards rankings and
unlocks.

Special Forces
Swift and deadly, special forces soldiers come armed with silenced pistols,
allowing you to take out targets with ultimate stealth. But when you want to make
some noise, your C4 explosives should do the trick. Use C4 to blow up bridges
and key enemy installations.
✪ After left-clicking to plant C4 explosives, right-click to switch to your detonator,
then left-click again to detonate.

Sniper
Wearing camouflage allows you to remain concealed in a good hiding spot so
you can pluck off enemies from a distance with your sniper rifle. In addition to
the sniper rifle, this kit also comes equipped with claymore mines. The claymore
trigger can be sensitive, so be sure to plant the mine and then get out of the way
in a hurry. 11
Assault
The workhorse of any attack team, the assault soldier combines heavy firepower
with high mobility. Your machine gun/grenade launcher combo makes you a force
to be reckoned with on any battlefield, while your smoke grenades provide cover
for a stealthy retreat.

Support
In Battlefield 2, ammo crates aren’t quite as plentiful as they were in Battlefield
1942. As a support soldier, rack up points by providing ammunition to friendly
players.
✪ Replenish a teammate’s ammo supply by holding your ammo pack and standing
near him, or by dropping the ammo pack (left-click) for him to pick up.
✪ When riding in a vehicle, the support soldier automatically replenishes that
vehicle’s ammunition.

Engineer
Engineers can earn points by keeping friendly-occupied vehicles up and running,
so keep that wrench ready. You can also repair bridges vital to your side’s effort.
For additional points, hop into certain vehicles and turn them into mobile “repair”
vehicles that automatically repair nearby friendly vehicles.
Engineers also come equipped with anti-vehicle mines. It takes a lot of pressure
to detonate these mines, so don’t worry about walking over them if you’re on foot.
✪ Like a weapon, the engineer’s wrench “depletes” during use and needs to
“reload.” The wrench’s depletion and reload meters appear on the bottom right
corner of the screen. When you approach a vehicle while you have the wrench
selected, the vehicle’s health meter appears so you can see the progress of
your repairs to the vehicle.

Vehicle health meter

Wrench depletion meter

Wrench reload meter

Medic
With the addition of a revive functionality, medics play an even bigger role on the
battlefield. As a medic, you gain points for healing and reviving your teammates.
You can also hop into certain vehicles and turn them into “ambulances” to
automatically heal nearby teammates.
✪ A serious injury can send you into revive mode for a short period of time, during
which a medic can save your life. If a medic doesn’t get to you in time, that’s
one less ticket for your team.
✪ As a medic, you can heal a teammate by holding your med pack and standing
near him, or by dropping the med pack (left-click) for him to pick up.
✪ The medic’s shock paddles can be used to kill as well as heal. Sneak up on an
unsuspecting enemy and give him the jolt of his life.

Anti-Tank
The anti-tank missile packs the biggest punch of any hand-held weapon. You
can even guide your missile to some extent. After you fire the missile, change its
target by repositioning the center of your viewfinder.
The US kit submachine gun fires in two modes. In single-shot mode you have the
accuracy to take out a target at a distance, while automatic mode gives you better
chances at close range.

Driver
A driver (no matter what kit he has) gains points when his passengers kill an
enemy. If you’re an expert helicopter pilot, for example, use your flying skills to
allow your teammate to rack up the points on the minigun.

14
Commander Mode Tips
As commander you have a lot riding on your shoulders. Here are some more
things you need to know as commander to help your team win the war:
✪ Before you order an artillery strike, check the location of your troops on the
minimap to prevent friendly fire.
✪ Don’t waste artillery strikes; artillery takes a while to reload and its location
is displayed on the map—which means it can be seen and destroyed by the
enemy. Try using your artillery strike to attack an enemy commander’s artillery!
✪ You can disable an opponent’s UAV and radar scan capabilities by destroying
the radar equipment at their home base (but beware—your opponent can do
the same to you).
✪ Supply drops act as a limited replenishing station. Be sure to choose your
location wisely; enemy troops can benefit from these drops as well!
✪ Open a direct VOIP channel with each of your squad leaders. Don’t forget, you
need a microphone to use this feature.
✪ When your team wins, you win! As commander, your score is calculated based
on a formula using your team’s score.
✪ Don’t be a disgrace to your team. If you’re a poor commander, your team can
exercise the mutiny option, allowing them to remove you from command.

Online Setup
Join or create your own online game and take on Battlefield 2 players the world
over through the Multiplayer screen. The enhanced squad structure includes VOIP
commands and team stat tracking that affects your next battle. Maps scale to the
number of players engaging in battle—16, 32, or 64—for an intense experience
every time.
✪ In order to play a local game, you must be connected to a LAN. In order to play
an Internet game, you must have an active Internet connection*.
✪ During Internet setup, click ADD SERVER to add a specific server to the list. You
must know the IP address of the server you wish to add. Click JOIN to start a
multiplayer game with this particular server, or click ADD to add it and return to
the server list.

✪ To find out what an option does, click the option and read the description in the
help text window.
✪ In order to change options, you must first click the blue + button to add a new
config file and then name the file.
16
Community
The Community screen has two tabs. The BattleRecorder tab allows you to
download and view battles you have fought in the past. This requires that you
enable the server option. Check the End of Round screen for “Previous round has
been bookmarked to your BattleRecorder,” then go to the BattleRecorder screen
to see yourself in action.
The Custom Games tab lets you activate a custom game that you or another
player have created.

VoIP
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows players to talk to one another via a
headset with microphone. No additional software is required to utilize VoIP—just
join or create a server with VoIP enabled, then join a squad or become a
commander to use VoIP in-game.
✪ VoIP is push-to-talk. Press B to talk to everyone in your squad. As the Squad
Leader you can also press V to talk to the Commander.

Single Player
Take on some missions with CPU-controlled squadmates and enemies. This is a
great way to get some combat experience without embarrassing yourself in front
of your human peers.
Single Player mode lets you select the 16-player configuration of ten different
maps. You can choose from one of three skill settings for your AI opponents.

17
Hints and Tips
✪ Worried about being sniped as a tank gunner? Remember that you can duck to
conceal yourself during a firefight.
✪ Think you’re safe from an enemy tank simply by hiding behind that tin fence?
Think again. Most high-caliber weapons can penetrate materials and structures
such as fences, bunkers, etc.
✪ Don’t want the enemy to cross that bridge? Blow it up! Many bridges are
destructible … but that doesn’t mean they can’t be repaired.
✪ Be careful when you fire at an enemy tank. Tanks now have reflective armor,
so if you fire a round at an enemy tank at the wrong angle it might ricochet off
and hit a nearby teammate.
✪ To spice up an air fight, use land-based anti-air weapon platforms to lock onto
and take down enemy aircraft.

Flight School
✪ To get started in your aircraft, hold down the thrust key until you start in
motion. If you are flying a plane, make sure you gain enough speed before
tilting your nose up for takeoff. In a helicopter, make sure you have enough
altitude before tipping your nose down to fly forward.
✪ There are two ways to fly aircraft—by mouse or by keyboard (see Air on p. 5).
You can invert the mouse pitch controls by clicking the INVERT MOUSE
checkbox on the Aircraft screen under the Controls tab of the Options menu.
Experiment with both to find the style that’s right for you.
✪ Don’t let your gunner run out of ammo. You can rearm and repair your aircraft
by landing on or flying/hovering low over your own airfield/helicopter pad.
✪ Keep a sharp eye out for land targets, then be sure to line up in time to give
your gunner a good shot.
✪ Ace pilots will be masters at getting enemies to drop all of their flares in a
hurry, while conserving their own to strike at just the right time!

Battlefield 2: Special Forces
Special Forces lead the way in the secret war for control of the world’s most
strategic locations. Join the world’s most elite and deadly forces: Navy Seal, SAS,
Russian Spetsnaz, MEC Special Forces, Rebel, or Insurgent, each with its own
arsenal and tactics. Capture key tactical points and then use the trigger system
(press E) to strategically open and close gates, doors, and more. Battlefield 2:
Special Forces takes all-out modern warfare behind the scenes for the battles you
don’t see on the nightly news.

Weapons
With authentic Special Forces firearms, a full arsenal of technologically advanced
gadgets, and night-fighting stealth tactics, the covert armies give you even more
weapons in your fight for the new world order. In addition to new assault rifles,
machine guns, and other firearms, the new armies also feature these Special
Forces weapons:

Grappling Hook
Virtually no rooftop is inaccessible when you have this portable ladder with you.
Target a ledge and left-click to throw the hook full force, then press E to climb.
The hook is portable as well—just face the hook and press G to gather it up and
take it with you.
✪ Left-clicking throws the hook full force. You can alternatively hold the right
mouse button to charge your throw and release the mouse button to throw the
hook.
✪ The grappling hook is available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Assault and
Anti-Tank kits.
✪ You can also drop a rope from above to allow other players to climb up to your
position. Click the right mouse button near the edge of any rooftop to drop the
rope.

19
Zipline
Sometimes being exposed on a rooftop isn’t the best thing. To get down to the
safety and cover of the ground in a hurry, use your zipline. Aim your crossbow at
the ground and left-click to fire the bolt. (If your target icon becomes an X within a
circle, it means your target is out of range.) Press E to zip down the line. Like the
grappling hook, you can press G to gather up the zipline for re-use.
✪ The zipline is available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Sniper and Special
Forces kits.

Flash Bang Grenade


Stun the enemy with this concussion grenade. Any enemy within range of the
grenade’s blinding blast sees white just long enough for you to get the drop on
them. Flash bang grenades are especially effective against enemies wearing night
vision goggles.
✪ Flash bang grenades are available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Assault
kit.

Tear Gas
Shoot a tear gas canister into a group of enemies to confuse and disorient them
(unless they’re wearing gas masks!). They cough, their vision blurs, and they are
unable to sprint. The effects are temporary, so don’t waste any time taking them
down!
✪ Tear gas is available in the Battlefield 2: Special Forces Support kit.

Night Vision Goggles


See in the dark. All kits in Battlefield 2: Special Forces come equipped with night
vision goggles. To turn the goggles on, press 7. The world turns green, and
enemy troops in the dark are revealed by their heat signature.
✪ The night vision goggles only last a limited amount of time before they must be
recharged.

Gas Mask
If an enemy shoots a tear gas canister into your midst, press 8 in a hurry to put
on your gas mask.

20
Vehicles
Take control of the latest advanced vehicles on land, in the air, and at sea.

Attack Helicopters
Two new attack helicopters—one American,
one Russian—enter the fray. Both come
equipped with powerful rockets for taking
out enemy armor. The American Longbow
attack helicopter is excellent in close combat
situations, while the Russian Hind model makes
a worthy adversary against it.

ATV
The ATV is an understated but versatile
battlefield presence. The compact size of this
one-person, four-wheel-drive cycle allows it
to navigate obstacles that might stop larger
profile vehicles.

BMP3
This Russian armored personnel carrier has a
main gun that fires 100 mm small tank rounds
and a small machine gun for eliminating troops.
It is amphibious, allowing it to traverse various
terrains quickly.

Civilian Car
Don’t settle for walking. Get to the action in a
hurry by commandeering a civilian car. In times
of war, some laws are bound to be broken.

21
Pickup Truck
Even with all those advanced military vehicles
at your disposal, you might find yourself in a
situation where a civilian pickup truck is your
best bet for getting out of a tight spot.

Desert Raider
This lightweight 4x4 vehicle is ideal for desert
reconnaissance, surveillance, and escort
missions. With its multiple mounted machine
guns, however, it is also an offensive force to
be reckoned with.

HMMVW with TOW


This four-wheel drive vehicle sacrifices its
roof-mounted machine gun for a TOW (tube
launched, optically tracked, wire-guided)
missile launcher. With its powerful engine it
can conquer most types of terrain, from steep
slopes to deep sand.

Water Jet Cycle


Zoom over water from hotspot to hotspot on
this one-man maritime transport vehicle. With
its speed and maneuverability, the water jet
cycle is great for lightning-quick strikes and
swift getaways.

22
Maps
Engage in covert action on eight new maps for single and multiplayer play.
Devil’s Perch Navy Seals attempt to drive MEC Special Forces from their
base on an Island off the coast of Lebanon.
Ghost Town Spetsnaz forces clash with the SAS in a deserted oil town on
the Caspian Sea.
Iron Gator MEC Special Forces launch an attack on an American
aircraft carrier swarming with Navy Seals.
Leviathan MEC Special Forces raiding an American naval base in the
Persian Gulf go up against Navy Seals.
Note: The Iron Gator and Leviathan maps are only available for online multiplayer
games.
Mass Destruction Spetsnaz troops are sent in to shut down a Rebel chemical
weapons facility in southern Russia.
Night Flight The SAS must stop Insurgents from bringing an abandoned
Syrian airport back online in a deadly night battle.
Surge Spetsnaz forces attempt to sabotage a Rebel missile launch
site in Kazakhstan.
Warlord Insurgents and SAS forces square off at a warlord’s
compound in Fallujah, Iraq.

23
Battlefield 2: Euro Force
In addition to the new European Army, Battlefield 2: Euro Force Booster Pack lets
you enter battle on new maps with new vehicles and weapons.

New Maps
Note: Battlefield 2: Euro Force Booster Pack maps do not support 64 players.
Operation Smoke Screen
War continues to rage for the precious oil in the Middle East. The EU has come
to aid their allies, confronting the MEC head-on in one of the most brutal battles
of the war. Multiple assaults on both fronts have pushed the armies back to their
bases, decimating the middle ground and leaving the oil field a smoking ruin.
Even though the oil reserves have been destroyed, what remains beneath the
scorched desert sand makes this a battleground worth fighting for.

Taraba Quarry
The EU forces are en route to reinforce an American division that has been cut
off from the front lines. The MEC have moved to intercept them, and both armies
are about to meet at the Taraba Quarry, the only crossing point of the Taraba
River this side of the Caspian Sea. If the MEC can hold their side of the river, the
Americans will be cut off and surrounded. The EU must break through the enemy
lines before the Americans are overrun!

Great Wall
A newly negotiated peace with Russia has allowed the European Union to launch
an attack into mainland China from the north. The EU forces hope to breach the
Great Wall of China and establish a base for future operations before continuing
south to the coast, but their supply lines are dangerously thin. If the Chinese
forces can head off the assault and hold them back long enough, the EU will
have no choice but to retreat back into Russia. It’s vital for them to link up with
American forces attacking from the coast, or a sustained assault on China will be
impossible!

24
New Vehicles
German Main Battle Tank (L2A6)
This main battle tank is the latest in a line dating back to 1963. The tank has a
three-compartment configuration, with a driving section at the front, a turret in
the middle and the engine in the rear. It features a new smoothbore 120mm gun
that can fire the same ammunition as its predecessor’s gun as well as new high-
penetration projectiles. In addition to this 55 caliber gun (versus 44 caliber on the
previous generation’s tank), the main battle tank also boasts an armor kit that
grants improved protection against mines, as well as an air conditioning system.
The tank is very well protected overall by third generation composite armor,
increasing its effectiveness as a force on the battlefield.

British Main Battle Tank (Challenger 2)


The British Army took delivery of the first of its new main battle tanks in 1998.
Since then this 61-ton machine has seen action in Kosovo and Bosnia and was
deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Second generation armor plating makes
this the best protected tank in NATO. An all-electric gun control and stabilization
system gives its 30 caliber, 120mm gun improved accuracy. Extra firepower
comes courtesy of the 7.62mm chain gun mounted next to the main gun. The
makers of the tank included more than 150 improvements over its predecessor,
including a completely new turret design and other modifications to improve
performance and reliability.

European Fighter Jet (Eurofighter Typhoon)


Europe’s multi-role fighter jet debuted in 2005 after seven years of development.
The fast and maneuverable single-seat, twin-engine aircraft is known for its
versatility and is used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance
roles, made possible by its stealth technology. The jet has an internally mounted
27mm gun. It also has four beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles and two short-
range air-to-air missiles. For air-to-surface missions, the fighter carries anti-
armor weapons—three under each wing and one under the centre fuselage—as
well as laser-guided weapons.

French Attack Helicopter (Tiger HAP)


The French air-to-air combat and fire support helicopter is built to engage the
enemy in both daytime and night combat under some of the harshest conditions,
including biological, chemical and nuclear environments. This versatile attack
chopper features a 30mm gun turret, 68mm rockets and air-to-air missiles. It also
comes equipped with a roof-mounted sight, infrared camera, laser rangefinder
and direct optical sight, making it highly efficient with its weaponry and
associated fire control systems. New countermeasures and a reduction in radar-
reflecting surfaces also make this attack helicopter safer and less detectable than
helicopters from earlier generations.
25
New Weapons
Special Ops Assault Rifle
This compact assault rifle has an abbreviated length of
590mm with stock retracted. It features a 40-round clip
and full auto and burst fire. The rifle was developed in
Germany and exported to other armed forces.
Type: Full Auto/Semi Auto
Damage: Medium/High
Accuracy: Medium/High

Assault Rifle with Grenade Launcher


The standard issue assault kit rifle now comes with a
grenade launcher attachment. The rifle incorporates
a bullpup layout with the magazine at the back of the
gun and fires standard 5.56mm NATO rounds in single
shot or full automatic modes. Its clip carries 30 rounds.
Type: Full Auto/Semi Auto
Damage: Medium
Accuracy: Medium/High

Support Machine Gun


This general purpose, belt-fed, large machine gun fires
a 7.62 NATO round at a rate of 800 rounds per minute.
This weapon has been in production since 1961 but
has undergone various improvements over the years.
Type: Full Auto
Damage: Medium/High
Accuracy: Medium

Medic Assault Rifle


This French-made assault rifle affords medics extra
protection in the heat of battle. Development began
in the late 60s. The weapon is widely used within the
French military today. It has a bullpup configuration
and fires standard 5.56mm NATO rounds. It inflicts
medium-to-low damage but has a high rate of fire.
Type: Full Auto/Semi Auto
Damage: Medium/Low
Accuracy: High

26
Engineer Shotgun
This is a gas-operated, smoothbore, magazine-fed,
semi-automatic shotgun. Its rail can accept laser
illuminators, night vision, and standard scopes.
Its flexible design allows it to fire a variety of shell
sizes without modification or adjustment. It has low
accuracy but packs a powerful punch.
Type: Semi Auto
Damage: High
Accuracy: Low

Anti-Tank SMG
This Belgian submachine gun was developed
specifically as a personal defense weapon for vehicle
crew members such as tank drivers. It has very good
power for its size. It fires SS190 rounds in full auto or
single shot modes from its 50-round clip. It features a
polymer stock and downward ejection of spent cases.
Type: Full Auto/Semi Auto
Damage: Medium/Low
Accuracy: Medium/Low

Sniper Rifle
This bolt action beauty is reputed to be one of the
world’s best sniper rifles. It is the standard sniper rifle
for the British Army. Its clip allows you to fire off five
rounds before you have to reload. It features a 25-inch
barrel and has a maximum effective range of 1000
yards.
Type: Bolt Action
Damage: High
Accuracy: High

27
Battlefield 2: Armored Fury
Twenty-first-century warfare enters a new theatre of operations: the United States
of America. Stat tracking has been updated to keep tabs on your performance
on the new maps and in the new vehicles and you can earn a new ribbon for
meritorious service in the American theatre.
The 1.3 patch to the base game adds co-op play to all Battlefield 2 single-player
maps (including expansion pack and booster pack maps), plus the ability for
commanders to call in vehicle airdrops. Give your troops the armor they need,
when and where they need it!

New Maps
Midnight Sun
The Chinese have made landfall on American soil, securing the Alaskan Port
of Valdez and the oil that flows in from the Alaskan pipeline. The victory was
quick, with most American forces preoccupied with MEC forces in the South.
The Chinese have begun pushing upriver, skirmishing with the outnumbered but
determined American soldiers, who are intent on making the Chinese pay for
every inch of soil. With the arrival of U.S. reinforcements, the battle for the land of
the midnight sun is about to begin.

Operation Road Rage


The MEC forces have landed on the East Coast of the United States, and are
preparing to push inland. Caught by surprise, the U.S. Marines are deploying
nearby, hastily preparing a base of operations to stop the MEC advance. The key
objective for both armies is to secure a highway junction in the middle of the
battlefield—this strategic point grants access to nearly every key military target in
the area. Whoever controls this overpass controls most of the Eastern Seaboard!

Operation Harvest
Units of the MEC Second Armored have fought their way from a beachhead
landing in the Delaware Bay to this spot in the Pennsylvania Dutch farmland of
Lancaster County. This bold push threatens to cut off American units moving
south to reinforce Washington D.C., a city under siege by MEC forces. This
agriculturally rich area is about to erupt, as battle-hardened units of America’s
Armored and Calvary Divisions muster all their strength to meet the MEC Second
Armored advance head-on.

28
New Vehicles
Take to the skies in six new aircraft or tear across the terrain in two new civilian
vehicles. The new Littlebird and EC-625 scout helicopters come armed with radar
functionality. Keep an eye on your radar sweep to pinpoint enemy infantry and
vehicles.

Fantan Q-5
This Chinese ground-attack jet was developed
for superior combat performance at low and
super-low altitudes. Development of the jet
fighter bomber lasted 11 years. While its main
role is close air support for troops attacking land
targets, it can also engage enemy fighter jets.
The Q-5 is based on the Soviet MiG-19, a favorite
of the People’s Liberation Army, and has mid-
mounted wings that hold one 20mm cannon each.
The single-seat aircraft has a 9.8 meter wingspan
and twin turbojet engines capable of pushing
the plane to supersonic speeds. It has a ceiling
of nearly 16,000 meters and a combat radius of
600 km.

A-10
The same tough hide, “grunting” machine guns,
and odd looks that earned this jet fighter the
nickname “Warthog” have made it one of the
most popular aircraft in the U.S. Air Force. The
A-10’s main role is close air support of ground
forces. The single-seat plane with twin turbofan
engines has wide, straight wings that make it
highly maneuverable at low speeds and altitudes.
If your enemy happens to get a lucky shot off, the
Warthog’s special titanium armor can withstand a
direct hit from armor-piercing and high-explosive
projectiles. Its main gun is an exceptionally
powerful 30mm, 4,200-rounds-per-minute cannon
that sounds like a pig grunt.

29
Su-39
This is the latest version of the Russian Su-25
ground-attack jet. The plane is known for being
easy to fly, cheap to produce, and very effective
against ground, sea, and air targets. It has a
14.36-meter wingspan and can reach 975 kph
under the power of its two turbojet engines. Its
service ceiling is 10,000 meters. Upgrades from
the Su-25 “Frogfoot” aircraft include improved
survivability, navigation enhancements, and the
ability to carry new precision-guided weapons.
The aircraft comes armed with a 30mm cannon
and a variety of air-to-ground weapons, making
it effective in close air support and anti-tank
missions.

EC-635
When European forces need a light utility
helicopter to scout enemy lines and report back in
a hurry, they call on the EC-635. Its twin engines
allow pilots to infiltrate hostile territory quickly,
assess the situation, and report back. Standard
fuel tanks give the EC-635 a range of 620 km.
The copter’s versatility, low weight, and quiet
operation make it suitable for training, utility,
transport, and search and rescue (SAR) missions
in addition to reconnaissance. The copter comes
armored and armed, allowing it to protect itself
when it comes under enemy attack.

WZ-11
This is the attack variant of the Chinese Z-11
lightweight utility helicopter. Like the EC-635, the
Z-11 was designed for reconnaissance, training,
scout, and SAR missions. Little is known about
the military version of this versatile helicopter,
its development having been kept secret by the
People’s Liberation Army. What is known, or at
least reported, is that the first WZ-11 flew in
December of 2004. It has a three-blade main
rotor and a single turboshaft engine. Having been
developed from a civilian utility helicopter, the
WZ-11 is said to under-perform when compared
to contemporary attack helicopters.

30
Little Bird
The OH-6A served on scout missions beginning
in the Vietnam War. Recognizing the need for
a reliable light attack vehicle, the U.S. Army
added gun and rocket/missile capabilities to this
helicopter to create the Little Bird. The copter
provides air and ground support to special
operations forces at an unrefueled range of
250 nautical miles. Modifications to the Little
Bird’s single turbine engine and main rotor over
the years have resulted in improved power and
maneuverability. Rumor has it the helicopter is set
to be modified again with an even more powerful
engine and an upgrade to a six-bladed rotor.

Muscle Car
There’s no more stylish way to tear into battle
than in a classic 1970s American muscle car.
Hotwire one and use it to speed into battle or
out of a tight spot—or just take it for a joyride.
What’s called “stealing” in a time of peace is
known as “requisitioning” in a time of war.

Semi Truck
The muscle car is a great way to get around
in a hurry, but if you’re looking for a little
more protection and ramming power, consider
requisitioning a semi instead. It may not be able
to take on a battle tank, but it will hold its own
against most transport vehicles.

31
Performance Tips
System Requirements
It is essential that your PC meets the Minimum Requirements as detailed on the
game’s packaging. If you are experiencing poor performance, check to make sure
your system hardware supports the requirements.

Background Tasks
In some cases programs that are running on your system can monopolize
resources that the game needs in order to install, load, and run properly. Not all of
these programs are immediately visible. There are a number of programs, called
“background tasks,” that are always running on your system.
Important Note: While shutting down background tasks will optimize your system
for running Battlefield 2: Complete Collection, these background tasks’ features
will be unavailable once shut down. Be sure to re-enable background tasks after
playing Battlefield 2: Complete Collection by restarting your computer.
If your system is running anti-virus or crash guard programs you will need to
close or disable them to run Battlefield 2: Complete Collection. To do this, find the
icon for the program on the Windows Taskbar and then right-click the icon and
select “close,” “disable,” or the relevant option. Please note that these programs
will be reactivated the next time you restart your computer.
Once anti-virus and crash guard programs have been disabled, you should end all
unnecessary general background tasks.
To view and close background tasks (Windows XP):
1. Hold down v and q and then tap s. Select the Windows Task
Manager.
2. Click the Processes tab. This tab displays a list of all background tasks
running on your system.

4. Select an item with a user name, but DO NOT select one from the SYSTEM,
LOCAL SERVICE, or NETWORK SERVICE groups. Also, DO NOT select the
explorer.exe or taskmgr.exe items.
5. Click END PROCESS. You may receive a warning message, if so click YES. The
selected item disappears from the list.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until only explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe remain in the
user name group.

32
Video and Sound Drivers
An outdated video or sound driver can lead to slow and choppy gameplay, or in
some cases can prevent the game from running at all. To ensure an enjoyable
experience with Battlefield 2: Complete Collection, be sure that you have the most
recent video and sound drivers installed. These drivers are typically available for
download from your system or hardware manufacturer’s website. If you are not
