BF2 Patch 1.50 (Beta) will be released today or tomorrow

EastCoasthandle · Apr 21, 2009

According to Bazajaytee, Associate Producer on Battlefield 2 and 2142; a post was left by him that a decision would be made if Patch 1.50 (beta) would be released today or tomorrow (take note of the post time as that is their time). If anyone has been following the development of BF 2 1.50 patch it's been a year in the making. Although it's not entirely clear as to it's change log what has been said is the following:

============
Update v1.50
============
FEATURES
- Additional support for Windows Vista.
- Added Highway Tampa as a required map.
- Added a new map called Operation Blue Pearl.
GAMEPLAY TWEAKS
- Changes made to both the J10 and F35B to make them more balanced. Please note that the J10 is a superior dogfighter to the F35B and as such these two aircraft will never be equally matched.
- AA targeting tweaked to make it more effective.
- Added checks to prevent "runway grieving".
- Various changes made to prevent cheating.
- Tweaked the hit detection, hits will be more accurate to the model.
- Server crashing – We have worked with the issues causing servers to crash, which has caused problems for the community (especially those who rent ranked servers).
- Name/ID spoofing – Extra steps have been implemented to ensure the soldier being used belongs to the right account.
- Commander assets – This is to stop the excessive spawning of multiple crates, UAVs or vehicles.
-More information on Update 1.50 will be revealed as we approach the release date!

-Widescreen support CONFIRMED
-Falcon addition CONFIRMED
-disc checker removed
There will be ranked beta servers to test the new patch. A feedback forum has not yet been revealed however one is expected. The location of where to download this patch will be provided when they are ready to release it. The patch is expected to be over 1Gig. You can follow up to date information about the release of the patch (beta) on twitter. Below are few links were the contents of the patch were discussed.

A beta patch? BF2 is already beta enough. New map? Lemme guess, another jet whore map or a Karkand clone.

Nonetheless, I will be downloading.

EastCoasthandle · Apr 21, 2009

Correct, they are suppose to add more content like widescreen support for example. In any case the final build shouldn't be the same as the beta.

I'm game! I haven't played BF2 for a year.

malware · Apr 21, 2009

Can't wait, hope it's true this time. Thanks for the info man.

EastCoasthandle · Apr 21, 2009

NP,
According to twitter they plan on releasing it today. If so you should be able to find it here. I hope it's true :toast:

EastCoasthandle · Apr 21, 2009

Ok folks it's out. Hopefully other downloading locations will have it as well

My fingers are crossed. I'm hoping all works well with 2142 and Vista 64bit. :toast:

EastCoasthandle · Apr 21, 2009

Is the current link downloading too slow? Then use this torrent.

Logos · Apr 21, 2009

hey that's very good news, as I reinstalled BF2 just a few days ago

InnocentCriminal · Apr 21, 2009

WICKED!

I've been playing BF2 recently and I freaking love it!

Can't wait for BF3!

Logos · Apr 21, 2009

torrent is too slow and for some reasons it brings my whole internet connection to a crawl. I'll just wait till the patch is available from EA or Gamers hell...

EastCoasthandle · Apr 21, 2009

Huh? I see over 500 on the torrent. Do you have it setup right?

look I have no idea as I rarely use torrents except to download Linux ISOs. So in Windows, I just let the "FreeDownloadManager" torrent interface do that, and it normally does that well. This said, there certainly is better software to download torrents in Windows; I don't have them 'cause I don't really need them

edit: I just tried restarting it, both downloads and uploads at about 100 KB/s...and again the browsing in Firefox becomes extremely slow. Stopped the torrent again, and browsing is back to normal...

widescreen support confirmed (By me)

ShadowFold · Apr 21, 2009

Really? They got off their lazy butts and fixed the game for reals? Too bad the l4d update is due out soon or I would be all over this.

Check the screen shots in my previous post.

hat · Apr 21, 2009

yes! widescreen support! finally!
anyone have any idea on when the WHQL (for lack of a better term lol) patch comes out?

EastCoasthandle · Apr 21, 2009

This is a beta patch as all of the added features/functionality are not supported yet. A final version of this patch will announced later. As it stand right now, a 1Gig patch is unprecedented and should fix a lot.

Studabaker · Apr 21, 2009

Man, I am about to buy this game.
