  • Community Update - 7/5/06 (1.4 Beta Patch Released)

    There is some very exciting news coming out of the Official Battlefield 2 website today. The 1.4 patch has now been released in beta form for everyone to try out and test. Listen up:
    Greetings!

    We are beginning the first phase of our 1.4 patch beta testing! This initial phase of testing will only include a small number of servers whose focus is to ensure stability in a live environment. At the completion of this phase we will be rapidly expanding the number of servers hosted to allow everyone an opportunity to review this latest patch.

    I would like to stress that everyone who downloads the beta files should take the time to read the included text file so that you can properly safeguard your current BF2 install.

    Also please note that EA Customer Service can not provide any support for issues related to the Beta Patch. I encourage everyone to log into the EA-Battlefield forums and participate on the 1.4 Patch Beta discussions that will cover both 1.4 issues, tuning changes, and new features.

    Beta Incremental (138MB) Mirrors

    A few of the servers hosted will be set to the new ‘No Vehicles’ server setting that will allow players to focus on infantry vs infantry combat on all BF2 and Special Forces Maps. Other servers will include the new "Road to Jalalabad" map, sponsored by Comcast, which will allow US and MEC forces to engage in a new urban warfare environment!

    Everyone here at EA and DICE look forward to working with the community to ensure this next patch is a solid step forward for the Battlefield Franchise.

            beta test does not equate to bug fixes, just bug reports, they dont have to fix anything, if they feel it isnt an issue

                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...

                              @ chaulk one, you have to make a new seperate battlefield 2 directory to install the 1.4 patch in so you dont override your 1.3. it means double the HD space tho
