Battlefield 2 1.5 beta patch released


Recommended Posts

I said to myself, "This is a beta patch. Chances are something will go wrong." And man am I glad I said that.

I do know what 'beta' means.

Then you know that they're still testing the patch. Any explanation will likely be kept secret. For now, we can only wait until the final version is released. Kudos to DICE for still supporting a [PC] game that's over 3 years old.

Has anyone had any success with Battlefield 2 in Vista 64 bit? I'm Hoping this patch allows me to finally install the game.

Works without a problem for me. Always has.

On a side note, it's all a bit too late. The BF2 community is dried up. I found this server where all people were doing was sitting in vehicles and stat padding. I got into an F35 and killed one of the MEC and then got banned.

There's nothing left for this game. Too bad too. It was fun for a couple years.

Yep, Battlefield 2 is pretty much dead. I only play whenever my friends play. Funny thing is, they want me to buy Battlefield 2142. I assume it's just as dead.

So has anyone really tested the widescreen support of this patch? Is it just a simple addition of resolutions to the menu with the same horrible cropped fov from 1.4? Or is it a proper widescreen that finally removes the need for a 3rd party app to fix things?

Maybe they haven't updated their servers?

You also only searched for a particular map, maybe the servers aren't on that map?

I think the BF2 community is still alive, why else would they make a patch?

As for 2142 - Ugh. I hope that dies a fast death.

BF1943 soon, yay!

A little late for that huh...

and why should a great game die because you don't like it ? elitism much ?

Anyway, I may have to reinstall BF2 and 2142 again at some point.

I'm an active player on this and have no problems finding busy, good servers? I tend to play Dragon Valley pretty much 24/7 though as it's my favourite map.

Any patches for this are welcome though.. :)

You'd think that some server providers would setup a dedicated Punkbusterless server for Windows 7 users, wouldn't you? :p

Or punkbuster would fix it.

Punkbuster will fix it when the OS is released properly, they did the same with Vista and I am sure with XP, waited until it had gone retail.

Back on topic, I sorted out my login, screw up on EA side, but now I cannot connect to any games, I click join and it just pauses a few seconds and then drops back to the servers list :( Changing the search options does nothing

It's not even worth playing. I got it and have only played maybe 30 hours total since it came out. I'm just not into that type of game.

Then why did you buy it? I kid, I kid. The game itself is outdated and stale. The only reason I play is to have fun with my buddies. I think the teamwork is the only part I like about it. Well, the only part I like about it now. I used to enjoy playing the game back in '05.

Funny how that is if he like sBF in general since it's the exact same type of game only the graphics are different and it's set in a near future setting.

And the titan game modes have a lot more strategic possibilities than the plain old capture and hold the flag/territory

I like both, BF2 and BF 2142 very much but I can't install the 1.5 Beta patch since I have too less space on my system drive.

Sadly the patch systems of the BF games where always a joke, I set up my system so that nothing goes to the system partition, temp files and swap all go to a larger drive separated from Windows, however the patcher still demands space on the Windows partition...

And all manual patch methods I found seem to fail with 1.5.

Do you know how many people have purchased games, CDs/albums or movies and didn't like it after they purchased it? I had high hopes after being a Battlefield 2 addict but it was just too much.

That was like me after buying BF2, but when i played the BF2142 trial, it was just.... no.

But yea, BF2 is fully alive, I was playing again the other night. Good stuff! :)

It was better when the EA US public servers were up. You didn't have to abide by clan servers with 15 rules scrolling and banning you because they had a stick up their butt.
