1.51 Public Beta for BF 2142 Tomorrow

[Shawn Zipay]

According to an official word from the EA UK forums, the 1.51 patch will be publicly available as a beta release tomorrow, September 17th at 2AM PST.

Not only does the update contain numerous client and server side fixes including enhanced account security, it also includes Northern Strike FREE for all Battlefield 2142 players as well as 4 brand new maps.

- Operation Blue Pearl - Supply Lines by Björn Sundell and Jason Brice
- Strike at Karkand 2142 - Conquest by Jason Brice
- Molokai - Titan by Jason Brice
- Yellow Knife - Supply Lines by Jason Brice

The client will be available to download from www.Fileplay.net and all players should install v1.50 BEFORE trying to install v1.51.

The purpose of the beta is to stress test the servers. If everything holds up just fine, this beta release will then turn into the official public release.

Stress test what servers? Do they expect that many players to come back to the game?

There will be consternation at corporate HQ at this "Lack of response" to "support" for a title that was for all intents and purposes abandoned years ago by EA.These "Disappointing Results" will underscore their belief that PC gaming is DOA and all further energies will be directed into the more profitable console gaming sector.

Go talk to the EA UK guy that posted the information I quoted, not me. I don't have BF2142 so I don't really know wtf is up with any of it.

I hope this brings people back or better yet bring new players. They just need to market the hell out of it. I would think steam is their best bet. This along with bf2 is what Battlefield on the PC is all about not BC2.
