FYI ... a new map ...

This just came in my official BF2 newsletter.

"Soldiers! Download And Roll Out!
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. Remember to keep your eyes to the future as this
stretch of desert will see combat across two generations of
Battlefield."

The download link that was included in the newsletter led nowhere but a quick Google search (Highway Tampa BF2) resulted in about a dozen download sites.

Was there a patch that went along with this?

Not that I could see. Not sure what they are doing this for.
