BF2 Patch 1.5 almost on its way !

[[RC]Hunter]

Catched at the UK EA forums.

Seems EA / Dice are really getting closer to finish the 1.5 patch for BF2. Currently they inform about working on an installer to test internally if the patch will be applied correctly to the current 1.41 installs.

The plan is to provide an incremental patch, incl. the free optional Highway Tampa map and a full patch of 500MB.

Quotes from the EA UK forums:

We have one thing left to do on the update and thats to compile and build the installer for the update. So now we are very close to having something. Once we make the installer we'll do some internal testing then open it up to you all.

Highway Tampa will be compulsary from 1.50 onwards (as it was optional with 1.41). We are looking to make a full and incremental version of the update. The incremental with be a couple of hundred Mb while the full would be well over 500Mb

Looking forward to it and I hope the most that painful security holes will be finally fixed. I am not eager for plenty of new maps or features. This should be done for Battlefield 3 ...
