    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 Complete Collection from EA Store installed.

    Did they have this implemented in the 1.50 beta?

    Cause when I tried the beta, it did not seem to feel any different.

    Server files are all done and ready for the release, so they shouldn't be delaying the release any...


    Also, One thing they forget to mention which was changed on the patch is you are no longer required to have the CD/DVD in the drive or the EADM running to playing BF2.

    Just got 1.5 up and running. Fun game. I forgot how much I liked this game. Hit detection seems better too.
