{RR}SinisterSalad writes: The wait is finally over! Update 1.50 for Battlefield 2 has finally been released, complete with lots of fixes and 8 new maps! We'll keep this post up to date with the latest links - just keep in mind that all the mirrors are getting hammered right now so your downloads might be somewhat slow.
The patch weighs in at a hefty 1.93GB. If you want to verify your download, the md5 is: 513a415dbca69f995e866a9dc7cbd305
Remember that you need to have Battlefield 2 patched to 1.41 before you install Update 1.50!
If you still have the 1.50 beta installed, you'll need to reinstall BF2 first. | |

| News Articles: PC Patch 1.3.0 Now Available |
|
Kaos Studios has just recently released the latest patch for Frontlines: Fuel of War - v. 1.3.0. Check it out:
PC patch 1.3.0 is now available and includes the following features:
New Map – Hindsight
New Map – Sunder
New Map – Wide Awake
New Map – Infiltration
New Vehicle – WC AB-11 Bomber Jet
- The AB-11 is a medium-range bomber that is loaded with 6 cluster bombs. These bombs will devastate nearly anything they hit. To aid in bombing runs, the AB-11 includes a bomber cam which aims directly at the ground, no matter how the jet is positioned in the air. The AB-11 also includes a rapid-fire cannon in the nose for clearing infantry and tanks. The engines of the AB-11 include dual elrons to allow for faster turns. When compared to the WC fighter jet, the AB-11 is not as fast, but far more maneuverable. The AB-11 is also stealthed against missile lock-on’s.
- To use Bomber Cam - Hold Middle Mouse Button while in exterior view
New Vehicle – RS MRB-131 Bomber Jet
- To compete with the Western Coalition’s AB-11, the Red Star have developed their own bomber, the MRB-131. This bomber is designed with one purpose: unleash as much firepower into the enemy as possible. Small and maneuverable, the MRB-131 carries a front-mounted cannon for air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. On its wings are a pair of forward-firing rocket launchers, similar to the Red Star attack helicopter. The Red Star MRB-131 also includes a rear-mounted camera, so the pilot can see an enemy approaching from behind.
- To use Rear-view Cam - Hold Middle Mouse Button while in exterior view
New Weapon – Anti-Air Rocket Launcher
- The Anti-Air Rocket fires a high velocity projectile designed to cripple enemy aircraft. Though the rocket has no target lock, the rockets are built with a proximity detect which will detonate the rocket if it is near a target. The rocket will cause damage to a nearby enemy aircraft, but it will do more damage if the target is hit directly. Though they are lethal against jets and heli’s, they have a hard time punching through land vehicle armor.
Leaderboard Fix has been implemented for the Roles and Loadout tabs – They now record both Ranked & Unranked game information
Server Browser has been fixed and will now only show legitimate Ranked servers. Be sure to download this patch below and see this update here!
It's almost 1 GB in size because of the new maps, just FYI. ;)

Left 4 Dead is finally here!
Well, almost, anyway. The full game won't be available for another week (November 18 on Steam and in retail stores across America). But you can get a taste of the blood-splattering, zombie-killing fun right now! We've been playing all morning. And we're so excited we can't even type! We're just hammering on the keyboard like gorillas here. Don't believe us? Sbfdlj;asfdkh asdfhadsfaj hsdfkjhasf! Woo!
Download it and give it a try, then hit the forums and tell us what you think. See you in-game!

{RR}SinisterSalad writes:
There has been a lot of discussions on the Battlefield forums regarding the Battlefield 2 Update 1.50, so this is to let you all know what’s happening.
Update 1.50 is still in development, we have held back on releasing the update as we have become aware of and are taking preventative measures against 3rd party tools which have been severely affecting everyone’s playing experience recently by crashing dedicated servers, clients as well as allowing account spoofing. We hope you understand our decision to delay the release to resolve these issues rather than releasing early with a need to update again. We are looking to release this update by Winter of this year.
