New Battlefield 2 patch test by Christmas

Eurogamer writes: "DICE hopes to start an open beta for Battlefield 2 patch 1.5 before Santa stuffs himself down chimneys.

"The beta would be for everyone that wants to install it, the more people that do the better feedback we get and we don't have an update 1.30 again," said a spokesperson for the developer on the official forum (spotted by Blue's News).

"The plan is to get it out before Christmas yes."

There's no specific word on what will be in patch 1.5, although DICE has hinted at server stability and performance tweaks, plus plenty of fresh content."

what? is this game stil beeing updated?!

Lich1206391d ago

Huh, I had no idea either. I loved this game when it came out and now I guess Im going to install it again. Very cool.

sak5006391d ago

Wow, i haven't touched it since late last year after COD4 came out. Still in my hard drive but i removed the power hogging 7950GX2 vga and put a 40$ pci 7200gs card as i dont game on my pc anymore. Games on pc are become scarce and not worth the trouble.

bumnut6391d ago

it sure is!

thats why i prefer pc gaming, you get much more support and a lot of dlc is free.

Zip6391d ago

im positive surprised :)

DICE ... a word of advice ... give Battlefield 2 a rest, it's a dead horse, just let it go.

Forget Battlefield 2 and "cartoon" Battlefield Heroes and announce Battlefield 3 already.

2500 servers with upto 64 players on each one disagree

How about just release/make Battlefield 3 instead of patching up Battlefield 2?

evrfighter6391d ago (Edited 6391d ago )

It would make sense this way. A lot of bf2'ers remember the failures of DICE and their borked bf2 patches to fix patches. I see it as good PR to win over the battlefield fans again now that the rage is gone. Then shortly afterward announce Battlefield 3 in all its glory.

also just an FYI, EA tried charging for DLC in the form of booster packs. Failed horribly. New content that couldn't be used in vanilla bf2 made sure the booster packs were played no longer than a week.

They were so so bad they always broke more than they fixed !!!

This new patch is a bit of a joke aswell unfortnatly, it was already annouced 6 months ago.

I also think DICE are trying to show gamers that maybe they can now patch games and thus get less out cry when they annouce BF3.

We will see !

Ranking All The Battlefield Games

From Xfire: "With the next game being a return to the classic XX42 formula, now is as good a time as any to make an utterly definitive and in no possible way controversial ranking of the Battlefield games we've enjoyed over the years, with which undoubtedly nobody will take issue in the comment section. Right? Okay then - here we go, from least good to best."

Battlefield 1 above 4 and Bad Company 2? Not a chance.

Ruegrong1796d ago

battlefield 4 was broken as shit on launch same as battlefield 3

isarai1795d ago

Bad company 2 was still my favorite, sure it was a bit gimped compared to the rest if the series but more fun and far more satisfying weapon unlocks.

XxINFERNUSxX1795d ago (Edited 1795d ago )

Battlefield 1942 + both expansions are my all time favorite, it can still be played online to this day. Vietnam would be my 2nd, 3rd Battlefield 2, last BF2142 the rest I didn't care for. They really need to remake from the ground up in the new engine BF1942. Next year it will be 20 yrs since it was released. If they don't at least to me would be a disservice. ☹

"erasing that simply reinforces toxic male privilege." I see the writer is one of those types of people...
