Quick whine, even though i'm not usually a whiner.

But why oh why do people moan when EA finally release a patch for the COMMUNITY to test, so WE can report what is still broken/fixed.

If you dont want to test it then dont bother. But some of us would actually like to test out what they're planning. With patches in the past - especially 1.3 - bugs were not found until released to the public.
If they released 1.4 and there was bugs, the same people would be moaning that we should have had an open beta. GET A LIFE AND SHUT UP WHINING!!!

Right, that off my chest, i WILL be dlding to test this one out. The whole copy Battlefield2 folder is hardly brain surgery, for those who dont grasp the concept of having 2 folders with 1.3 in one & 1.4 in the other.

Now it'll be up to EA to act on any comments the community make from this beta!!

Now wait a minute.... only some of EA's servers will be running 1.4 server-side? So for everyone who installs this *beta* patch, they can no longer connect to the remaining 99% of 1.3 servers out there unless they downgrade? I'd love some more info on this...

Yes, DO NOT install this if you do not intend to participate in the beta test. Only a few servers will have this BETA patch.

Odds are that it acts like a seperate mod.

Same situation like how everyone was worried DCF would overwrite the orignal DC, but they just made it its own thing.

EDIT: No, how could I ever think that EA thought this one out... ;P

No, it's not a mod at all in any way, shape or form. It's a patch and like the previous patches, it patches the game files (go figure).

Open beta = Good
Fact that its still broken = bad

New map = best one after Operation Road Rage
Switching sides and not able to select a squad immediatly = very bad

Yes, DO NOT install this if you do not intend to participate in the beta test. Only a few servers will have this BETA patch

Hmmm... read the readme file first and you will see this: no need to downgreat!

woa woa woa does this mean if i download it now that i can wait to install it when it becomes a public release will the patch be the same?

You're kidding right? It's BETA, meaning not quite finished. Don't download it if you do not intend to BETA test. You will need to re-download when the final is released.

Okay this beta is really cool and Im just gona put a few comments.

Bugs, for the time I played there were not really any bad bugs, like bunch seemed to be fixed. The medic gun the 2nd unlock seemed a lil less accuratte but its just prob my computer lol. The new map Road to Jalabbadd seems pretty good but the fact that I found that America had a slightly smaller avandtage over the MEC but it made us fight all the harder. I like the fact that only squad leaders can ask for a car from the Commander. The servers were a little slow but I like the infantry only mode its pretty cool. Even when u change team and that u cant join a squad right away is pretty good because u can hop from squad to squad like we used too. Overall good job on the update beta. Just work a little bit on the loading of player stats, i found that very slow and the option of play now in battlefield 2. But keep up the good work!! My computer didnt crashe so Im pretty happy!

redownload when the final is done? :laugh: more like redownload a large number of times, its most likely going to be a series of betas :P

and theres an thread on the ea forums so bug reports.

Jalabad: Cool! For all the 10 seconds I played before CTD!

It also did not fix my sound issues. I get the sounds from two-three players all at once.
