The
Battlefield Blog has the update
first mentioned yesterday
about the version 1.50 patch for
Battlefield 2 first mentioned
during the Bush administration. DICE says the patch will be released next
Tuesday, though skepticism on this point should be forgiven, since
at
one point release of this patch was promised for before Christmas 2008. They
also announce the free release of both the Euro Forces and Armored Fury booster
packs for all players, which will make for a ginormous update. The full update
includes the change log, and here's a bit:
After nearly a year of
development and three public beta tests Battlefield 2 v1.50 is ready for
release. The update will be released on Tuesday 1st September at 5pm UK, 6pm
Europe. Stay tuned for release announcement in the near future!
As part of Update 1.50 we are glad to announce that not only is Highway Tampa
now a required install included in the update but Euro Forces (Great Wall,
Taraba Quarry and Operation Smoke Screen) and Armored Fury (Midnight Sun,
Operation Harvest and Operation Road Rage) is now FREE for all Battlefield 2
players. Including the brand new map, Operation Blue Pearl this brings EIGHT new
maps that everyone can play and will be added to ranked Battlefield 2 servers
world wide. The Booster Pack content is included in the update and has made the
file just over 2Gb in size.
Server providers around the world will have access to the client file so find
your closest host for best download speeds. To install Battlefield 2 Update
v1.50 you must have Battlefield 2 updated to version 1.41 or Battlefield 2
