    Q&A Covering the Upcoming Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50

    A new Q&A has been posted today over on the Battlefield Portal that includes new information on what we'll find in the v1.50 Battlefield 2142 patch. Take a look:
    Q. What new content will we see in Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50?

    A. As well as a number of bug fixes and tweaks based on community feedback we are going to be releasing two new maps created by community members. Wake Island makes its return to Battlefield PC thanks to the guys at Sir. Community and a map which you may have heard of called Anzio will be appearing with a name change as Operation Shingle created by Jason Brice. We are also bringing a No Vehicles option to a number of 2142 maps for those players who want to fight it out on foot as well as allowing you to access 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions for those widescreen monitors. We also heard your cries for movement in pods to be re-introduced on transport ship escape pods so we have been working on giving that back to you while still limiting pod surfing use.

    Q. How did you select the community maps to include in Update 1.50?

    A. Both maps we decided to include in Update 1.50 were selected from a wide choice of maps that are out there in the community, it was felt they brought something new to Battlefield 2142 and although some of you will have seen them before in previous forms, they have now been updated and are new maps to Battlefield 2142. Both groups have worked closely with DICE Live and have gone through extensive testing to get the best balance and Battlefield experience from the maps. Wake Island 2142 also holds a little twist to the way Conquest game mode is usually played so watch out for that.

    Q. When will Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50 be released?

    A. Update 1.50 will be released for public beta towards the end of April and is there to get your feedback as well as run checks on server stability. All being well, we will release Update 1.50 at the beginning of May. Visit www.battlefield.com for more announcements regarding the beta and launch and leave your feedback on the forums.

    Be sure to keep checking back for all the latest on this new patch as well as the for its release, coming sometime in May.

        Does this mean they'll add another vehicle (marine), or is the ocean frozen over for Wake.

            BF2's most unbalanced map returns in 2142. Mkay.

            Seems like good news anyway, GG DICE!

            (widescreen support omgzz)

            BF2 turned to crap after they made the No Vehicles mode avaible but I think it will work out alright with 2142 :)

              hopefully we will still have normal servers left after 1.50. I fear with the I/O option 90% of the servers will become camp g infantry only :cry:

                Is this some kind of late April Fool's Joke with the widescreen support? Everything else I can believe, but that just takes the cake.

                  You can already have widescreen with some tweaks, I guess DICE realised this and are going to make it a feature in the game itself. Shouldn't be very hard for them to do.

                    I'm excited for The Sir. Community, because it's a great achievement when EA recognise your work like that. So, congratulations to them on getting Wake in.

                    It's just a real shame that EA decided to add it now, and not a year ago when the game still had the 'new car smell'.

                      Sorry add the most retarded map from BF2 to 2142 why don't you, thanks.

                      The only reason wake is popular on BF2 is because everyone wants to try out their

                      1337-flying-top-gun-super-missile-fly-cam-switching-dog-fighting-r0x0rZ-bombing-flying-J-10-no-skilage

                      At least the other map might save it. Nothing against SIR but come on why wake the most unbalanced piece of base rape trash on BF2

                        I actually gave this thread a thumbs up.

                        I think it's great that they put in community made maps....the widescreen support is also welcomed.

                        The only thing that sours it for me is that these decisions are probably being made all for money. 2142 servers have been disappearing...which means lost revenue for EA/DICE. I think that is why we haven't seen anything new for BF2 because BF2 hasn't sunk low enough to justify new content.

                        If EA/DICE could give it up for BF2 so that custom maps and mods could be played on ranked servers....they would see sales increase.

                            I don't think Wake will be like the BF2 one, those gunships are easily destroyable with the SAAW/AA walker, it's more balanced than the über jet/heli in BF2.

                            For the G.camp only issue there's already a lot of servs running it and most of them have an autokick script if you enter a vehicle anyway. I would like to see how turn a fight in Suez or Shubia without vehicles.

                            I thought it'll be a remnant of a booster pack, but seems a nice patch to me.

                              Wake was awesome in 1942.

                              Wake sucked in BF2.

                              Hmmm.
