We have yet again another update on the elusive Battlefield 2 v1.50 patch and news that it is delayed, this because of "office politics." DICE member Bazajaytee has been updating a thread over on the EA UK Forums and we've included some of his posts below:
Be sure and stay tuned for more news on the BF2 v1.50 patch. You can read more updates from Bazajaytee here.
Hey guys, remember me? Just a quick update. We have what we believe is the final version of Battlefield 2 v1.50. We have a little bit of office politics to sort out regarding the update but once that's cleared up we'll be good to release it.
Unfortunately I can't tell you what the office politics decision is about but it is worth the slight extra delay. There won't be another public Beta of this version, instead we will do a closed Beta to get a faster turn around and is basically to make sure things are still OK like the connection to servers issue.
You will need to have Battlefield 2 installed to version 1.41. We won't support installing over a previous 1.50 Beta version (it might work without issue but it might not so to be safe install over 1.41) so feel free to uninstall/delete that version.
--------------------------------------------------------
I can't give away what the "politicians" are discussing but we know its something you guys will appreciate and that the Battlefield team has been pushing for, for a few months now.
Sorry not everything was fixed that you might have wanted to see implemented. The update contains a lot of requested features as well as some big security fixes. So while you might have some issues you don't feel have been dealt with I think we can say that Battlefield 2 is far from dying.

Mouse acceleration is the same as Beta 3
ALT+TAB works fine on my nVidia machine but I can't say it'll work for everyone and we dont support ALT+TAB since BF2 launched.
Yes Special Forces works
Vehicle drops work fine unless you mean on Operation Blue Pearl which neither team has vehicle drops.
Flash bangs look fine on my machine with latest nVidia drivers.
HUD will always be stretched as BF2 just wasn't made for widescreen resolutions. They were drawn for 4:3 ratio only so for widescreen it gets stratched like you see. Its the trade off between wanting normal HUD and 4:3 or 16:9/16:10 and slightly stretched HUD.

I was hoping for EF&AF to be included in the patch.
