Patch News:

Ahoy maties! If you havent seen the news elsewhere, then know ye that EA has finally released the v1.50 patch for BF2 today. You can get it from our friends at TotalBF2 and elsewhere.

This patch introduces new support for Windows Vista, has a new map called Operation Blue Pearl and officially adds Highway Tampa as a required map.

Operation Blue Pearl:



It also has some new anti-cheating features, and potentially impacts BFP2 in the following two ways:

- AA targeting has been tweaked, which may (or may not) improve the effectiveness of the parrot
- Hitbox detection is more accurate to the model, which may (or may not) improve the cutlass, zombie boarding axe and our newest melee weapon... the clay tankard (used by the new drunkard class).

Over the next day or two, the staff here will be applying the patch to our own installs and our development server to test for any major issues. If the mod is stable on 1.50 with no other development needed, we will announce that here and ask that any server owners change their server names to include a small tag that states if the server is 1.50 compatible until everyone has updated. Stay tuned for more info...
