"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."
The analyst is still very bullish on Activision. In fact, Wedbush has added the company to its "Best Ideas List."
From Xfire: "With the next game being a return to the classic XX42 formula, now is as good a time as any to make an utterly definitive and in no possible way controversial ranking of the Battlefield games we've enjoyed over the years, with which undoubtedly nobody will take issue in the comment section. Right? Okay then - here we go, from least good to best."
Bad company 2 was still my favorite, sure it was a bit gimped compared to the rest if the series but more fun and far more satisfying weapon unlocks.
Battlefield 1942 + both expansions are my all time favorite, it can still be played online to this day. Vietnam would be my 2nd, 3rd Battlefield 2, last BF2142 the rest I didn't care for. They really need to remake from the ground up in the new engine BF1942. Next year it will be 20 yrs since it was released. If they don't at least to me would be a disservice. ☹
"erasing that simply reinforces toxic male privilege." I see the writer is one of those types of people...
"In case you have missed it, "ModDB has just released their “2020 Mod of the Year” awards final top 10 list, and what an awesome list it is! And with that said, a big congratulation to everyone who made it into the final top 10 list" - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Sounds like one heck of a good patch. And the EA devs must read their forums as there as a post with a poll where people were wanting AF and EF to be free.
Nice one EA and Dice!
C4+bridge+humvee(with players inside of course)+explosion= LULZ.
Finally they release the final version of 1.50. It's been like 3 years since the last full non-beta patch. Yay for all the people who didn't have the expansions, since barely anyone plays Armored Fury or Euro Forces, now I can test them properly since everyone will have it. The only expansion alot of people play is Special Forces, which imo is the best one. Nothing like sniping someone from a big tower then gliding on a rope to another building!
