[Battlefield 2142] Q&A covering the upcoming Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50

Q. What new content will we see in Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50?



A. As well as a number of bug fixes and tweaks based on community feedback we are going to be releasing two new maps created by community members. Wake Island makes its return to Battlefield PC thanks to the guys at Sir. Community and a map which you may have heard of called Anzio will be appearing with a name change as Operation Shingle created by Jason Brice. We are also bringing a No Vehicles option to a number of 2142 maps for those players who want to fight it out on foot as well as allowing you to access 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions for those widescreen monitors. We also heard your cries for movement in pods to be re-introduced on transport ship escape pods so we have been working on giving that back to you while still limiting pod surfing use.





Q. How did you select the community maps to include in Update 1.50?



A. Both maps we decided to include in Update 1.50 were selected from a wide choice of maps that are out there in the community, it was felt they brought something new to Battlefield 2142 and although some of you will have seen them before in previous forms, they have now been updated and are new maps to Battlefield 2142. Both groups have worked closely with DICE Live and have gone through extensive testing to get the best balance and Battlefield experience from the maps. Wake Island 2142 also holds a little twist to the way Conquest game mode is usually played so watch out for that.





Q. When will Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50 be released?



A. Update 1.50 will be released for public beta towards the end of April and is there to get your feedback as well as run checks on server stability. All being well, we will release Update 1.50 at the beginning of May. Visit EA - ::Battlefield Franchise:: for more announcements regarding the beta and launch and leave your feedback on the forums.
Wake? Seriously?

Oh well. Any content is better than no new content .

Even though I don't own a widescreen monitor, I find it very interesting that they've added the widescreen options since I thought it was just another one of those things they would never listen to. The new content I'm not so bothered about but it'll mean BF2142 will get a reinstall if only for a few days.

Widescreen resolution was way overdue.

But I/O? Ffs, please don´t. It was gay nade fest in Bf2 and will be in 2142. We do not need a no vehicles mod, teh vehicles in 2142 arn´t overpowered. Damn whiners and point whoring kiddies.

Well, guess I jsut wait what april brings

I agree completely about IO. It ruined the class balance in BF2. Games desolved into bunny hopping and nade spamming, and the G36E was king. The worst part was that most servers switched to it. It was a dark day for Bf2, even though I didn't realise it at the time.

I guess I'll try out 2142 again, although I won't play on my old account.  I don't want to mess up my stats.  Yes, I said it.  I had a KDR and I'm not going to ruin it.

Hopefully with the rig below, 2142 won't be a lagfest anymoar.

But I know it will be.

Well, to be fair, 2142 skipped 1.3 entirely, so they've had the same number of patches.

I like how the wake description says it will have a twist on Conquest.  Whatever it may be, sounds fun!

We just have to wait and see.

Yeah, well, uhm, lol. Dunno, they said at the end of it. Today is the 29th so I guess its gonna be soon .

And I bet the twist on wake is assault lines mode with the airfield as the pac homebase. Would fit perfectly.

Best part is, I think about 5 times the number of people play BF2 over BF2142, and they still have no plans on patching BF2.

Bf2 died when 2142 came out, same thing happen with bf2 and BFV, besides that, the 2142 community isnt nearly as bitchy as the BF2 ive noticed.  That said, 2142 really hasnt had alot fo support any ways

Bf2 had 1 expansion and 3 addons where as 2142 has one addon.  Now tell me 2142 is getting more attention.
