Some Battlefield 2142 news

Sorry, by "news" I mean a few weeks old...

forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-2142/1346474-battlefield-2142-v1-51-public-beta.html

Battlefield 2142 v1.51 is available for public beta from Friday 17th September at 10am UK/11am Europe/2am West Coast and run all weekend. Not only does the update contain numerous client and server side fixes including enhanced account security, it also includes Northern Strike FREE for all Battlefield 2142 players as well as 4 brand new maps.

* Operation Blue Pearl – Supply Lines by Björn Sundell and Jason Brice
* Strike at Karkand 2142 – Conquest by Jason Brice
* Molokai – Titan by Jason Brice
* Yellow Knife – Supply Lines by Jason Brice

The client will be available to download from www.Fileplay.net and all players should install v1.50 BEFORE trying to install v1.51.

The purpose of this Beta is to test server stability and let you see the new content. If the servers hold up to the stress test this version will become the release version that everyone will have. We'll try to reduce the need to do a reinstall should that change.

Thanks to everyone at Combat Testing for their help getting v1.51 to a Public Beta state.

First signs of the file will be at Fileplay as mentioned above and when activated tomorrow morning, will be available here - www.fileplay.net/file/10054/b...tch-1-51-beta1

Bookmark it, keep it, get ready to download it.

I'd play it a hell of a lot more, if it wasn't for Punkbuster problems.

I think the game is a helluva lot of a fun, and pretty well balanced. Interesting, large maps. Graphics are nice, too.

Yeah, that one was one of my favs of the series, though I do prefer the WW2 setting.

Plenty of people still play, you guys should join in on the epic Battlefield moments.

Edit: I wish I backed up my 1.50 client... be sure to do so if you wish to revert back.

I would too. I couldn't even get into the game because Punkbuster would kick me out. So I gave up on it. I never used hacks or griefed players so I am not sure why it kept me from getting on.

[professer]

Yeah punkbuster is a bitch.

I used to have punkbuster problems on my old PC. I had to edit my registry and some other BS to get around it.

Agreed, punkbuster is a pain. So far I haven't had many problems with BFBC2.
