"An Insurgent Warlord has been commissioning attacks against British forces in the area with tremendous success, using local civilians as a shield against retribution. His reign of terror is about to be challenged. The SAS have been called in to execute a surgical strike on the Warlords compound and surrounding Insurgent strongholds. Navigating perilous streets and alleys, the SAS must push towards the palace, but the Insurgents have the area well-guarded and won't give it up easily."

Trivia[]

  • The Battlefield 2 Special Forces Manual erroneously states that Warlord is set in Fallujah, Afghanistan, despite Fallujah being in Iraq, not Afghanistan. This has been fixed in the Battlefield 2 Complete Collection manual.[1]
  • In the GamePlayObjects.con file for Warlord, one of the templates reads:
    rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: CP_16p_WL_SasBase_SpdBoat]
    As SpdBoat denotes RIBs in the game files, this would mean that they were originally planned to be used by the SAS for the map. To further support this, there is also a nearby river in the redzone, which would have provided a new flanking route if it weren't out of bounds. However, the object that is actually spawned usart_lw155, the US artillery.
