We recognize that this has been a very trying time for everyone who enjoys Battlefield 2 and are putting forth every effort to improve upon the issues that are causing some players frustration. The DICE team has been reviewing player feedback gathered from forums, email, and the ranker server providers in an effort to provide the best possible step forward from 1.3. While this work has been highly focused on bug fixing the team has also managed to put some work towards new content.

Some groups have noticed the testing of a new map ?Road to Jalalabad? being run on our test servers. This map will be included in our next patch release and is not part of a new booster pack. Some of the items on the change list for this next step are:


Reversion: Allowing unlocks on unranked servers
Fix/Reversion: We fixed the issue preventing mod teams from running multiple game modes in one map list.
Tuning: We have lowered the number of players needed to start a ranked game.
Tuning: We have made some modifications to the vehicle drop feature introduced in 1.3. These changes should reduce the overall impact of "cartillery" on game play.
Crash Fix: We have located and fixed a crash connected to 1.3.
These are only a small portion of the fixes being worked on for our next step. We would also like to announce that we will be holding an Open Beta in early July for this next patch. We will have public servers hosted, Beta files available on mirror sites, and specific threads for feedback during this Beta period hosted on the EA forums.

As always keep your eyes on this space for all the latest Battlefield News.

Anyway, it says they will start Beta Testing the patch, with people like us, early next month

The poll asks, would you rather wait and have the patch tested, or have it slapped on?

Definitely should be tested, all previous patches haven't been open to testing in this manner and look at the problems we have all had with these!! With the new patch having open beta testing when it finally comes on line we should have a lot less room to complain as hopefully all of the major problems should have been ironed out.

Crash Fix: We have located and fixed a crash connected to 1.3.

Do they really think that there is only one thing in their sh*tty 1.3 patch which causes the crash?

uhhh... last time i asked my friend who tests the patches and such, they do beta test, however, for 1.3 there were just too many people bitching about the problems in the game they had to spit it out as fast as they could....

I will beta test the patch. I'm a picky son of a bitch, and if anything is off, I'll be sure to let Dice know in a "helpful" manner

Little known fact.

Former patches are in fact Beta tested.
Yes the teams do give feed back on bugs and errors they find and offer advice.
DICE does not take all their advice nor do they fix everything found by the Beta team because they are shit.

So does Beta testing actually fix anything if the programers don't listen?

They did say "a" crash and not "the" crash ... crucial article I suppose ...
