new map for BF2

i guess not many people are playing this now but EA have released a new map for it……………..errrr, why i have no ideas when so many people are now playing 2142 but i guess its a nice gesture anyhow.

EA has out of the blue released a new map for Battlefield 2 titled “Highway Tampa”. Here’s what they had to say about this new content:

Through a collaborative effort Intel and EA DICE are rolling out a new Battlefield map for players to battle on. Highway Tampa is a vehicle focused map that offers a game experience similar to classic 1942 desert warfare. Explore this stretch of the Arabian Peninsula in your choice of vehicle and work with your team mates to conquer the map for your team. Download the beta, join in the servers, and drive, fly, and destroy your way to victory. Then drop by the EA forums and let us know what you think. Also keep your eyes to the future as this stretch of desert will see combat across two generations of Battlefield.

i’m assuming by this last bit:-

Also keep your eyes to the future as this stretch of desert will see combat across two generations of Battlefield.

that its being ported over to BF2142 as well.
