In a moment of insanity and a looooong time (2 years?) after the last BF2 patch EA have released a new Beta patch for public testing...
http://www.fileplay.net/file/5123/battlefield-2-v1-5-beta-patch-1
You need to be patched to 1.41 for this to work and it's a biggy. 1.2 gigs. Adds new map, proper widescreen support (1920x1200 here I come!!111) and you no longer need the cd in the drive.
p.s anyone tried Battlefield Heroes Beta, I got a key yesterday, will try it on Saturday ;)
Cooooo, I haven't played Battlefield 2 in ages. I have it installed, but not bothered playing it lol
Will give it a bash at the weekend though.
sweet i was going to reinstall bf2 at some point now i will defo do it
Yay found my discs, lock and load soldier!
:D :D :D
ummm 1.50 beta has stopped me joining sp games i get to the select spawn map but cant move the arrow so cant click on the white dot :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
Funny enough had a blast on bf the other day. Will need to grab the patch.

It's showing up as "Dispatched from and sold by findprice.", "£4.53 + £1.94 shipping". That's more than £5!
It was £5.73 at the Hut the other day, but it's gone up to £7.73 there now.
Anyway, we should have a BF2 blast and get a proper hamster squad running around and kicking ass (= dying repeatedly).

Yes, we should. Preferably invade a server that rotates maps, not the same one over and over :D
Cool, I like this idea. Baggsy me squad leader. I will run the squad as a democracy. Any dissenters will be shot. :cop:
Fine with me. When I was squad leader the other night, I couldn't remember how to select commands on the map, so I kept telling Paul to 'attack that patch of grass over there' and 'defend that crate'.

I was wondering what was so important about that patch of grass

Tricky when you do re-install BF2, stick to 1.41 for now, more servers are on 1.41 than with the beta patch, you can have two BF2 installs (one with 1.41 and one with 1.50) but its a bit of a faff...

Official 1.5 patch out 1st sep (Nicked from some forum somewhere :D )
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.
Wow - that isn't bad at all for a free update a gazillion years after the game was first released. Nice bunch of maps there.
Well... well... well... well done EA. <cough><splutter> There, I said it.
