Battlefield 2 Patch 1.50 Enters Beta

Battlefield 2 Patch 1.50 Enters Beta

Germany — 

It's been nearly ten months now since Electronic Arts announced that they would be releasing a new patch for Battlefield 2. After postponing the release a few times, the beta version of patch 1.50 has now been released. At a size of more than 1.3GB (much of which is probably taken up by the new map "Blue Pearl") there will hopefully have been enough room to fix at least the most severe of those issues that had begun to plague the game.

Patch notes:
