Battlefield 2 v1.50 Patch Final Coming Soon

[Spawndemon]

DICE member Bazajaytee has posted up a new thread today over on the EA UK Forums letting everyone know that the final version of the Battlefield 2 v1.50 patch will be released soon. Listen up:

I have been out of the office (although it doesnt mean I stopped working on BF2 1.50) for the last two weeks on semester. However... Emil hasn't and has been hard at work on the update after your feedback. So here is where we are at; there hasn't been any MAJOR issues in the Beta 3 that we have had reports of.

So whats changed since the Beta 3 started? The screens below will help explain.

• Black cross hair on the TV guided missiles
• Widescreen FoV on widescreen resolutions

When I get back into the office next week there will be some last minute checks (no more fixes (unless something is broken that I didnt expect) or changes) and all being well the update 1.50 will be finalised and released officially.

Thanks for your feedback during the Beta phases. Its all gone a long way to make this one of the biggest changelogs that Battlefield 2 has had since launch.

So there you have it. Expect more news and the eventual release of the v1.50 patch soon. Thanks to our forum member notodd1991 for this find.

Could this actually be happening? DICE/EA redeeming themselves? I'm speechless.

Are there any surprises or changes to the gameplay that no one knows about with the upcoming 1.5 patch. Or are all of the changes pretty well known?

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidescreen! :wee:

The minimap is still oval (on the screenshots anyway) and I wonder if the sniper scope reticule is too. Anyway good job updating a game that was out before widescreen monitors were.:thumbsup:

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.50 Patch Final Coming Soon

The minimap is part of the hud, they won't be remaking it just for widescreen resolutions. The sniper scope isn't oval in the beta, and never was on 1.41 widescreen either.

Interesting... finally a patch worth installing. (Assuming, of course, that it doesn't introduce more problems than it attempts to solve.)

The black crosshair has potential... especially on maps like Dragon Valley, and considering that's practically the only air map that is constantly populated, it's a damn good thing.

The widescreen support is also a very nice touch. Props to DICE.

Definitely awesome. Now only careless players running by will get hit if they don't notice it, making claymores more of a strategic item rather than an impregnable barrier for infantry.

However, a lot of the bug fixes are things that are so minute and unnecessary (what's new here?). There are so many more that are way more important yet will never get fixed. See here:

A lot of the fixes are great, but i have so many more that i feel are more important... well, i can't complain.

This.

Finally, though this game did not turnout to be a BF1942 or DC.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.50 Patch Final Coming Soon

And Custom maps in ranked Match, anything at all ?

Guess I got to be glad that they at least took time to fix something this time(I can be mistaken)

What exactly do you mean by that? Not as popular or long lasting?
