First 1.50 Beta Server is Up

[Elxx]

The first server running the Battlefield 2 1.50 beta on the new Operation Blue Pearl map is now up and running, so we can expect the beta patch to be released soon. The Game-Monitor status for the server indicates that it's running version 1.5.3114-802.0 of Battlefield 2.

As DICE indicated on their BattlefieldHQ Twitter feed, you should be on the lookout tomorrow, April 21, for some more news about the beta patch. You can check out the patch changelog here so you know what to expect when it rolls in, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">weighing in at a whopping 1.16Gb</span>. Okay, maybe smaller.

Re: First 1.50 Beta Server is Up

Well someone has to host the server and TV2 hosts some very well known and popular servers already

TV2 probably got the server files early while DICE is tinkering with the files for us normal players

There are often early test servers with game patches/updates that come out. Sometimes companies do all the testing internally, but having a few test servers out in "the real world" is helpful too because they simulate actual internet environments more accurately.
