Default BF2 Update

Just a heads up for anyone else who's still playing this (thanks for getting me back in, Pickers, tis great!). The 1.50 patch for BF2 is finally being released next Tuesday and with it they're giving away the Euro Force and Armored Fury expansion packs for free! Mint.

Really impressed with the immense amount of support EA have given BF2.

sweet, I installed it a few months back to try and get into it again, but it wasn't the same without a clan.

will have to install this patch - especially given the free expansion packs! the only one i got was the first one (whatever it was called, all I remember is it had zip lines and nightvision!!)

Sadly they'll never get the credit for it. EA are still a company PC gamers love to hate. If they stood back they'd probably realise they're the only publisher offering new and exciting projects for them to play!

For once we're agreed on something

EA are one of the few big developers left that are taking chances by offering new, interesting IPs. People always seem to forget they were responsible for Mirrors Edge and Dead Space, two of the most promising IPs to enter gaming in the past year.

Bearing in mind they *did* have a knack of buying any small developer group that offered new, interesting stuff and used to milk the games for as much as possible, it's fairly reasonable for people to still dislike them. I'm not going to get into any arguments about this though!

Still, I can't knock them for the update. I might reinstall BF2 when I get home...

Battlefield Vietnam
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield 1943
....

They do come out with the occasional new idea, but mostly it's sequels, expansion packs, and expansion packs to sequels. Same everywhere else though.

They had to do something nice with this patch as they've pissed off a lot of people having taken so long releasing it.

Another forum I use when someone posted news of 1943, most of the replies consisted of 'dont care still waiting for BF2 1.5' :S

I never really got into BF2 but this seems to be a well needed patch and one that has been waited for for a long time.
