      UPDATE: THE KEYS ARE GONE! Congrats to all who won a free AF Key

    Where:
    We have been given access to the Punkbuster logs on 3 UK Based servers:




    Mirrors for 1.4 Phase 2 Patch:
    US Fulll Patch 543Megs
    US Incremental Patch143Megs
    UK Full Patch 543Megs
    UK Incremental Patch 143Megs

    Be sure to make a backup of your existing installation!
    Switching back and forth is easy... There are a couple of ways to do this but here is one.

    - Before installing the 1.4 beta2 patch be sure to copy your existing install into a new folder (i.e. BF2_13).
    - You can create a shortcut to the BF2 executable to run 1.3....
    - Install the patch and you should be good to go...

    I am sure others will post other methods for doing this...

    The winners will be announced by Wednesday the 26th of July.

    *This will be based off of PunkBuster log files for the total amount of TIME played across all 3 servers! We will be filtering idle time.

              The contest is put together by bf2gaming.com (east coast) but is being backed by DICE Germany... and they are only using a hand full of UK servers for beta testing.

              As for the e-mails, sadly this news was pasted elsewhere before I got it here, and I think they probably went pretty quick.

              Its been posted on over a dozen sites including BF2gaming.com, wolfgaming.net, CAL site, here, PLanetbattlefield, and some other major sites.

              No you do not need to register, but if you e-mail used to register you account is fake, you make have some problems.

                  Banyon, do you know when those who sent the e-mails for AF will find out whether they've won or not?

                    mmm, not sure. I know Engr said they was all gone, so I assume he sent e-mails to the winners already.

                        No...that contest certainly would have been over before it was even posted here.

                          Indeed, since I can't even play BF2 at the moment I can't enter the main contest either.

                          Curse my luck.

                            Sorry guys, i tried to get out the word as soon as I could.

                            The offical start of the compitition was was officaly announced at about 10PM my time... I tried getting the news out to a bunch of sites, but I didn't get home till 11... so was a little behind. The 30 keys were probably grabbed by people who check the news at, or are members of BF2Gaming.com

                            After checking the BF2Gaming forums, there were still about 10 keys availible when I posted the announcement on this forum. So you guys did have a chance, but a small one =)

                            Sorry.

                            For any moderators reading, I have submitted this to be posted on the main page, but I don't know if its waiting to be approved or if its gonna get rejected.
