In Battlefield 2, players will choose to fight for one of three military superpowers: the United States, the Chinese, or the newly formed Middle East Coalition. Armed with the latest modern weaponry, players can take control of any of the game’s 30+ vehicles to engage in major conflicts with over 64 players in some of the largest online battles on the PC. Additionally, persistent character growth allows players to rise through the ranks and attain the ultimate rank of General.

At the beginning of October, EA and Dice will release a new Patch, this is not going to be the 1.03 patch, but the 1.1 Patch. This because they are adding extra features in stead of a few bugfixes.

a few fixes... adds

- Over 160 server- and clientside bugfixes
- A new ingame server browser with support fot "Favorites", "History" to provide better overview of played servers
- Squad leaders will recieve a message if someone wants to join theyr closed squad
- Special Ops will be rewarded points when blowing up Commander Assets
- Support, Medic en Engineer classes are limited in the number of support points they can recieve by using their special ability. They will be able to use their ability the entire game, but they wont recieve points anymore (anti point-farming)
- It will now be posible to see who else is with you in a vehicle, including what kit they use
- Map zoom will be adjusted to map size
- Teamkills will be registered i a different way. It won't happon again that you are shot down, crash on teammates and get punished for it
- The transport helicopter is going to be adjusted. The Black Hawk miniguns will be downgraded and further more it won't be possible to repair the BH from the inside

Now all of these features are confirmed by DICE
There are some more rumored features but those are nog confirmed by DICE nor by EA, so i won't bother you with them.
