The Electronic Arts UK Community Forums have a couple of updates from DICE about the long-awaited version 1.5 patch for Battlefield 2. Back in September EA announced the version 1.50 update for the military shooter sequel would be delayed to this winter sometime to allow them to address a couple of exploits. Word is they are looking to release a beta version of the patch by Christmas: "The beta would be for everyone that wants to install it, the more people that do the better feedback we get and we don't have an update 1.30 again. That update alone set us on the road of public beta to stop it from happening in another update. The plan is to get it out before Christmas yes." Thanks Ant and Planet Battlefield.
