    FYI Battlefield complete edition is a complete waste of money! Buy the original for $10.00. The newest patch gives you the expansion pack maps for free! Why would you pay an extra $20.00 when you could download it for free?

    This this this!
    SF maps are some of the best BF maps ever IMO, I'm getting my new i7 notebook next week sometime and this is the first game I will be getting, I lost my game discs about 2 years ago and haven't been able to play since then :( and really only buy online anymore...

    i can't believe bf2 is on steam.

    glory.

    unfortunately, its out of my bf2 price range at $30, but at $9.99 it would be an insta-buy for me.

    Uhm they had RA3 on Steam for a long time. They only just added the Uprising expansion. And about time too! I mean it was on D2D and EA forever. Made zero sense that it was never on Steam all this time. o.0 Considering it is a download only title. They never printed Uprising for shelves.

    Now I just have to wait for a weekend deal and I'll pick it up.

    And not the awesomeness that is Steam, i.e. download a game on ANY computer you're at and play within an hour (it's probably a few gigabytes to download, lol).

    But it depends, how many still play special forces? I know a lot still play regular BF2, plus you can buy BF2 for 10 bucks at best buy and get special forces cheaper than that bundle.

    I don't get why they didn't just roll SF into the 1.5 patch too. There's so few players for those maps, it's ridiculous. They are some very fun maps too. It's just a case of mod-itis I guess. People tend to like the original content more than the expansions unless it's free.

    I got the expansion pack (SF) stand-alone and that's all I play. Zip-lines FTW! :D
