[Spawndemon]

EA and DICE have announced today the release of the Battlefield 2142 v1.50 beta patch. Here's what they had to say:

Starting today you can be part of the Beta phase of Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50. Update 1.50 is a big step for Battlefield as it is the first time we have included community created maps and included them into an update. Wake Island makes a come back thanks to The Sir. Community and appears alongside a brand new map new to Battlefield created by Jason Brice, Operation Shingle. Also, for those who prefer to fight on foot, we have added a No Vehicle option to a number of maps to allow you to fight without worrying if you’ll come face to face with a Battle Walker. Also, as requested by match broadcasting groups we have separated the Commanders voice volume from the Sound Effects so you can keep the explosions and gun fire without the Commander interrupting the broadcast.

FEATURES
- Added community maps, Wake Island 2142 and Operation Shingle
- Added the ability to use widescreen resolutions.
- Added No Vehicles mode.
- Added Conquest Assault mode.
- Changed the volume control for the Commander Voice Over on request of the esports community.
- Changes made to pod steering mechanism to improve control while limiting pod surfing.

FIXES
- Fixed the loading issue caused by corrupt Radial.cdb file
- Various changes made to prevent cheating.

The Beta update is an incremental file, to take part in the Beta you must have Battlefield 2142 version 1.40 or Battlefield 2142 Deluxe installed. You can download Update 1.40 from HERE.

To see a preview of what to expect from the two new maps check out the teaser created by Jason Brice and the Sir. Community.

Don't forget... before you install this, make a copy of your current BF2142 folder, or else you will need to reinstall when the official patch comes out. EA doesn't release beta to official patches. If you make a copy of the folder, when the official version comes out, you just have to delete your beta copy and rename your other copy to it's original name, then run the patch (or just rename the beta copy to something and rename the original back to it's original name if you decide to play the last official version).

Re: Battlefield 2142 v1.50 Beta Patch Released

I'd like to thank and congratulate all the members of the Sir Community that toiled on this map for their hard work and perseverance to bring this to fruition, I'm sure it was a long hard road to get to this point!


Please take no offense at what I am going to say, this is not a slam at all, merely some initial observations on Wake 2142.

And yes, I'm aware it's a beta, thanks.(That's for the inevitable "It's a beta!!" post from some that lack reading comprehension skills.)

Titan AA is able to cover (And chew up) far too many of the flags on its flanks,maybe raise or lower the Titan a bit?

Snow covered Pine trees...it's a hard sell,especially having just played a few rounds on Wake in BF2.I suppose with time I can adjust,but it's like seeing Christmas lights on Cacti in Phoenix,just looks off...

Buildings, the mix of Cerbere old style European and futuristic modular construction is a bit disconcerting as well and there is a bit of a jumbled together feeling at some points that mars the desired effect.


Again, fantastic job, I'm grateful for the time and effort that everyone contributed to bring this map to the community.Thank You!

Re: Battlefield 2142 v1.50 Beta Patch Released

ok off with the bad news...first off wake island is great but there is mass issue with the trees and distance...from a distance they don't show up properly..they look like little pieces of wood attached to a stick or something..then once u get closer they actually load in properly..aside from that the wide screen isn't working for most the guys on the servers i see since last time i posted...as is well both maps..AMAZING!!!!..i got a master server disconnect for some reason a few minutes ago also..just that minor problem..

The plot of BF2142 is that the world has frozen over/dramaticaly dropped in climate temp. Hence all the snowy maps in the game. However I can see your point, although I'm no tree expert, it'd probably take longer for the trees to grow yes. :laugh:

just remember that you could potentially open a new can of worms by trying to fix certain bugs. What is the tranny bug you speak of?

I cant wait to check out the new maps when i get home :)
