Download Battlefield 2 v1.5 Beta Patch
attlefield 2 v1.50 Beta Released The beta for testing the new 1.50 update for Battlefield 2 is now available for everyone who want to help out and test the new patch. Including a new map, the patch appears to contain very little in the way of changes, despite its protracted development:
- Various changes made to prevent cheating.
- Added checks to prevent “runway grieving”
- Added Highway Tampa to the default build to make it a compulsory update.
- Added the new map Operation Blue Pearl.
Please note that users with this patch will be unable to play on non-beta servers.
You should probably backup your non-beta 1.41 installation before applying the patch, so you can still play on the older servers.
