7 out of 10

Hmmm...where to begin ?
The maps:
- Great wall is a good map, I like it, will be a challenge for weeks to work out a decent tatic to go through it.
The only problems I see are, as already mentioned, the dark corners and people turning of their shadows and me keeping them for the atmosphere, stepping on claymores all the time.
Fun for every class to play.

- Smoke screen gives me a bit of a twisted feeling. The map design itself is great, I really like the tank battles but if you have to leave your 50 tons of steel for a burning reason your mostly screwed...No place to run, no place to hide...

- Tabarra. Well... Map design is alright. The problem is, it´s more or less a "one way map". Either forward or backward. Not a lot of "around", if you know what I mean...What would be really needed here, is a freakin transport chopper...That would make this map much more interesting.
Like the tank battles, don´t like the bombers. Many times I was stuck in great tank battle with 4 or 5 tanks, really getting it on, next second it´s all over because Mister MK 82 brought 4 of his friends, ruining the party...
A total worthless map for foot soldiers...

- The weapons. They shoot, they kill, they make noise and have to be reloaded...nothing really new to be exited about. (Really like the new spec ops gun, though ! Very sexy sound ! )

- The vehicles. Like the weapons. Nothing to be really freaked out about.

Finally...it´s  "just" a booster pack, only 10 bucks, I will play it, but I didn´t really fulfill my expectations...


Edit : The voices...? Kids in  middle school sound more educated than that. A big Arrrggghhh...For all the other  countries out there : We really don´t sound  like that...!!! (Well... maybe the french do... )

Gave all my six points to Great WAll. They didn't call it Great for one reason. It's the only reason to spend 10 bucks on and well worth it. I like HellHeads points.

I think it's a very good mini-expansion. The three maps are fun; Smoke Screen is filled with armour, choppers, and jets flying about, Great Wall is a cool infantry map where armour won't last long unsupported, and Tanbarra is the only map I haven't played thoroughly.

Don't fly much, but the tank IS sexy .

8/10

I just downloaded Euro last night took a bit to figure out that your game spy nickname had to be the same as BF2 in order to get it to work. I downloaded it and said “ready to play” and then error came up saying I do not have it installed. After reading a bit and reinstalling the whole game BF2, SF etc and all the dang patches. I still got the error and then changed my nickname in game spy and it worked...... Gezzz I feel like a tard....Anyway, I was hoping that the new weapons would be able to use on the regular bf2 as far as unlocks, but I was disappointed.  The maps look cool, I have only played the Tabarra map. Tested out the weapons and killed myself a few times cause was the only one on that server.  I enjoyed some of the weapons and others were disappointing. The medic weapon is good as well as the spec ops, they have good rate of fire. The support weapon..... Hmm well let’s just say it’s like a spray gun. You fire that thing everyone will know where you are like a fireworks display. Tracer rounds are usually every 3rd round....hmm no, seems like every round, and talk about inaccurate. I have not fully played on all the maps yet, but will wait for my review on the 1-10 score tell I play all the maps.

I've only played it about 4 times now but I have to give it a 7. The maps seem ok but what really disappoints me is the fact that I can't take the FAMAS (and the other non-unlockables) with me to other versions of bf2.

I don't understand why they don't make new maps similar to Strike at Karkand.. When you enter the server list it says Strike at Karkand on very many of them, and if you look up peoples stats I bet you'd find that all the gamers have more time on Strike at Karakand than on all the other maps together..!! So, it's obvoius that most (not all, but most) players would want at least one map like this:
- no aircrafts
- short distances
- lots of buildings
- no tanks (well it is in Karkand, but many servers kicks people who uses it)

Otherwise the new maps are quite allright in my mind.. Smoke and Great Wall: 6, Taraba: 7, so I give it a 6.

I gave it a 1 . I just really dont like it, Im not a fan of tanks, planes bore me and the maps are too big. I also feel extremely let down by the new helicopter. It all looks great though, maps are lovely looking dead boring though. Great guns but really nowhere to use them its all armour or planes or die.
Looks like your not the bF2 type, CS or COD2 are more your style. Just go play those games inted of wishing to transform aour game into somthing we all fear. The embodyment of this fear of what an online FPS can come down to is CSS. CSS, home of the Smacktards, population TOO MANY. Just my opinion but if using vechiles or fighting across real battlefields isnt your style im sure point whoring on karkand is the way you should go. Have fun!

Here, here.  I don't get this either.  I enjoy armor on a regular basis but helos and planes aren't my thing.  I see a sea of Karkand and Sharqi on the servers so why no EF urban street fighting maps.  What a missed opportunity to provide some more maps to appeal to the obviously high number of infantry-minded folk out there.  I haven't bought EF yet and based on the comments here I probably won't.

I give it a 6, it is pretty much just what i thought it would be, it isn't great, it isn't bad its just very average.

For 10 bucks?  Not a bad booster.  I'm still paying under 25 cents an hour to play this game.  I'd spend 200 times that in a bar in an hour.

I dunno, maybe 5.5 or 6/10.

The maps are just wide open land, with a few hills, and a bunch of randomly placed buildings. They didn't even take the time to make new buildings. I bet it took about 20 minutes to design Operation Smoke Screen and Taraba Quarry, maybe a little longer for Great Wall because they had to design the wall.

How can you call Great Wall a good infantry map? It's pointless. You get shot by a hoard of armor, so you spawn anti-tank, but then you get sniped, so you go sniper but then get molested by armor again...

Plus, as soon as you mine the two entrances, the armor is totally useless, get a few snipers to claymore the infantry entrances, and then infantry can't get in. Get some support to get more claymores... hey, you just won!

Taraba Quarry is fun though. It's a sweet sniping map, and It's very sweet when you get in a bomber, all the little tank whores go bye-bye .

I haven't played the 32 player maps but the maps for 16 players rock. No jets, one chopper (Operation Smoke Screen), a lot of tanks (long distance tank battles ftw) and a nice infantry map (Great Wall). The only thing that's annoying are the AA vehicles on Great Wall.

The Great Wall map is the only thing worth writing about.  Did BF2 really need another 2 armour maps that look that rushed to put together.

Wheres the infantry battles we all want like Karkand , Mashtuur City and Sharki Peninsula.  I know EA gave us Great Wall, but its not enough.

I'll give it a 8. I love this booster but, EA could have made European : jeeps, transport or anti-aircraft...
And one or two maps more to be perfect !

I gave it at 3... I'm almost sad I bought it.  The only cool map is Great Wall and even then it doesn't feel like...distance... I want to have that close range combat feel where I can pump lead into the bastard and say "you got served"... ya know?  (not saying I do that but you get the jist).

All the other maps I can't do that either- I'd get nailed by a tank.  Why give me a new badass gun if I can't use it?  And why damn it are all of the maps TANK FILLED!!!!  Where's the battle?  Its a damn tank war! 

The Tiger- which I have looked foreward to this whole time is awesome (and is the only reason this whole thing got a 3 in the first place)... so why only 1 map?  The EuroFighter is neat...sorta... handles like a PIG.  Whats up?!

I almost feel disgusted with this whole new thing.  I want to see massive battles and more infantry playing.  Instead I see tanks rolling around and squishing whomever is on the ground and above that whomever can bomb or TV the tank has superiority.

C'mon... at least a couple of badass urban maps?!

I'm trying to cut down my hours in tanks and this doesn't make it any easier.

LOVE the Great Wall, although it took a few rounds to see it's posibilities.  On 32 player, it's an Engineer or AT map.  If you keep moving, the snipers have a hard time getting you.  On 16 player, it ROCKS as an infantry map.  Grab the medic kit with the FAMAS and get ready to OWN.  Medics vs. Snipers, battling up and down the wall.  Problem with claymores? go as a squad.  First guy triggers it, 2nd guy revives..on to the next..follow the sound of sniper shots and fill him full of lead...it's not that difficult, but is sure is FUN.

The only armor on the 16 player size are those stupid AA vehicles (were helicopters included on this map at one point???) which some noob invariably decided to get in and drive around.  Oh well, you have plenty of cover on the wall.  Let them sit and shoot at stone, I'll go T-Bag some snipers.....
