Patch 1.4 Tuesday, the 15th of August

First of all, we'd like to thank everybody who has contributed with the Beta Testing of the Patch 1.4 for posting your opinions on the forums.

Your opinions and reports has been very useful for us to improve the stability of the client and server for this patch. Also, we proudly present “Road to Jalalabad” sponsored by Comcast, and the new server option “Infantry Only” which will give you a new dimension for the classic Battlefield experience. The 1.4 patch will be available next Tuesday, the 15th of August.

Also, on a new effort for supporting our community, we are pleased to announce the first cycle of our MODLight where we will check the talent of the community's mod teams. As a part of this, every mod will be tested and hosted on servers arround the globe for the player's enjoyment.

More details about this patch and the MODLight program at the beginning of the incoming week!

1.4 was buggy as all hell. God, I hoped the fixed all the problems (medics were unkillable, etc)

No BF2 patch today. It's being reevaluated for bugs and stability issues.

Heh, you mean they might not need another patch to patch what's been broken by the latest patch?!

Attention Soldiers: We at EA/Dice were so busy adding content that no one asked for, such as cartillery, server crashes, and the removal of squad hopping, that we just now realized that we really have never taken even 5 minutes out of our busy schedules to address our shitty netcode. Hence, we will delay our latest patch approximately 5 minutes. Thank you for your continued support and we'll see you on the Battlefield!

Legal:
Please note, the term 'Battlefield' now applies solely to the upcoming BF2142 title as we at EA/DICE have no further interest in supporting our buggy-ass BF2 release. And even though we state that the red name tag bug has been fixed... it hasn't. Suck it.

Community Update - 8/15/06

Greetings Everyone, As many of you are now aware we have made the choice to take some extra time with the 1.4 patch before release.

During our standard final processing of the 1.4 client update we came across an issue that, although it does not compromise stability, we felt needed to be addressed in order to meet our goal of improving the overall player experience with Battlefield 2.

It has come to our attention that a beta version of the 1.4 client has leaked to the general public. It should be noted by players that this file is not final and being such could cause damage to players systems.

We want to warn players to avoid the use of any client files that are not distributed by EA/DICE or one of our trusted partners. Once we have set a new schedule for release we will communicate this information to everyone.
