    Battlefield 2 Patch 1.50 Beta 2 Released

    Today DICE has released the second Beta of the Battlefield 2 v1.50 patch. Check it out:
    Thanks to everyone on the Battlefield forums that have taken part in Battlefield 2 Beta 1. We have taken a lot of feedback and made more fixes to come up with Beta 2. Bjorn has made modifications to Operation Blue Pearl so be sure to give your feedback on the new layouts here.

    <!--more-->

    Since Beta 1 this is what we have changed, updated and fixed:

    * Consensus to revert to 0.3 second delay between jump and prone - Fixed
    * Mouse wheel acceleration on jeeps and APC’s - In Test
    * Mouse wheel acceleration on parachutes - In Test
    * Falcon controller prevents joystick controls being assigned to work especially on jets and helicopters. Falcon always acts as primary controller for pitch and roll. Resets to Falcon at the start of every round. - Fixed
    * The jets on Highway Tampa were replaced with attack choppers in 1.50 - Fixed, Highway Tampa is now as it was in 1.41
    * The graphics for Highway Tampa are the same as Mashtuur City on create a local match in the menu and load screen. - Fixed
    * Picking up the kit of a player who disconnected causes crashes - In Test
    * Audio settings do not always save after clicking APPLY - Fixed
    * Registry Version remains at 1.4 after Update 1.5 is installed - Fixed
    * BF2OpenAL.dll was version 1.1.1.0 - Fixed - Updated to version 2.1.8.1
    * ch_gas_station collision mesh on Dragon Valley was inconsistent with other gas station buildings - Fixed
    * MEC artillery piece on Operation Clean Sweep changes to the USMC's control when they capture the Airfield flag - Fixed
    * Challenger2 HUD icon was incorrect showing M1A2 HUD icon instead - Fixed
    * Road to Jalalabad has PLA FAV spawn in place of a MEC FAV - Fixed
    * Dragon Valley Chinese artillery used default respawn time instead of 360 seconds as other artillery uses - Fixed
    * Bizon (PP-19) had no delay time after weapon switch - Fixed (this now has a delay of 0.666)
    * F35B had a lock delay of 1.5 compared to 1 second lock delay of other aircraft - Fixed
    * Incorrect camo Humvee was being spawned in Taraba Quarry - Fixed
    * UH-60 (Black Hawk) guns had 0.25 splash damage setting, down from 3 making it difficult to hit infantry. - Fixed (this is now set to 1.5 to improve the UH-60's usefulness while not allowing it to dominate)
    * It was impossible to pass a claymore unless an engineer disarmed it first. - Fixed (players can now go prone to pass the claymore)
    * Allow BF2.exe to use more than 2Gb RAM on machines that support it - Fixed

    Download the new beta patch today and leave your feedback.

            Blackhawks back in town! Awesome. Maybe it's time to put PR aside and go vanilla.

                fixed the BH? Did they change anything on the other transport helo's to compensate for balance?

                I would love my HiP passengers to be able to hit things now.

                  The dolphin diving thing is a little disappointing, I guess this is an excellent example of where the community stands.

                    The poll on the EA UK forums is here



                    it was pretty close actually, the main problem is the more logical fixes to the problems are beyond their ability to implement without doing a major re-write of the game code (or so they say anyway).

                    also, keep in mind there are only three people at DICE working on this patch, one programmer, one person doing the new map and the associate producer acting as overseer and community manager.

                      The jets on Highway Tampa were replaced with attack choppers in 1.50 - Fixed, Highway Tampa is now as it was in 1.41

                      Lame, probably the best change for 1.50 and they take it away. Tanks vs jets = lots of free kills for jets. How can you enjoy a good tank battle with jets blowing you up all the time. DICE really caters to jet whores, when actually they are what ruins the game. Guys in jets have an unwritten agreement to not go after each other cause they know they can just wrack up kills on the ground. Frustrating.

                        yeah but what about the attack heli whores? arent they a bigger threat? jets can make 1-2 passes, which are harder to hit tanks unless the pilot is experienced, but an attack heli can hover and hit 8 of them in one shot without having to reload untill the 8th missile

                            thats your opinion and most people disagree.

                            attack choppers kill tampa because of the flat terrain. (among a bunch of other reasons that I can go into if you'd like)

                            it was perfect the way it was - and I'm glad they put it back.

                            It sounds like your having more of a problem with the jets - not the lack of attack choppers.

                            The jets never go after each other because they usually lose each other in the fog. There are 2 AAA vehicles and a stinger at each flag. Use them. They work better in 1.50 anyways.

                              I like the claymore change but I was hoping they would do something about air balance.
