    Tweeting about the BF2 Patch

    Just a couple of days ago, DICE created a new Twitter account dubbed BattlefieldHQ to give us updates on the Battlefield 2 patch. They have been rolling in quite steadily, and point to a release of the beta 1.50 patch very soon:
    BattlefieldHQ: Expect an update on when BF2 1.50 beta will be released sometime SOON! It'll appear on www.battlefield.com and right here when it happens.
    BattlefieldHQ: Battlefield 2 Update 1.50 may not have widescreen support in time for Beta but we'll look into it in time for Final release.
    BattlefieldHQ: Doing a run on possibly the final build of BF2 Update 1.50 Beta installers and servers...So close you can almost taste it.
    needitfast: @BattlefieldHQ Does that include unranked serverfiles?

    BattlefieldHQ: @needitfast Yep that includes unranked server files. We wont give these out at the start of Beta though to get people hitting our servers.
    BattlefieldHQ: We hope you guys have broadband because the update is weighing in at 1.16Gb

    needitfast: @BattlefieldHQ that's huge o_O - are you talking about the full version or the incremental(w00t?!) ?

    BattlefieldHQ: @needitfast Thats incremental from 1.41. A number of files have been changed that make up bigger files plus the two maps = 1.16 Gb
    BattlefieldHQ: Having to regenerate md5 files so watch this space for information on Battlefield 2 Update 1.50 TOMORROW!!! 21st April 2009.
    So there you have it, the status of the BF2 patch as of 11 minutes ago. If you're a Twitter-er, be sure to follow @BattlefieldHQ to get the latest updates on the patch direct from DICE.

      1.16 Gb - (Patch 1.41, 536 Mb + Highway Tampa, 63 Mb) = Operation Blue Pearl + tweaks = 561 Mb Huge !

      Maybe collision exploits are finally going to be fixed on all maps...

              Since when have DICE started to use "smileys" in posts? Can this be confirmed officialy? Of course it would be cool if it was true, but Twitter - how good a source is that?

                They might as well release a downloadable installer for the whole game!

                Oh well, if they have it on fast servers it should take me <1 hour.

                    It's from Twitter, not BF HQ.

                        Good enough for the associate producer of BF2 to have it in the signature..





                        A bug where the G36e's crossair still showing while jumping and sprinting is fixed and a change to the jumping is included.. (Not sure if the jumping change will be in the beta thou..)

                            It's hard to take companies seriously when they use sites like Facebook and Twitter to relay information to their customers, especially for something technical like a beta patch - even if only for a game.
