Yes its still coming
We have been working on a few things to do with DRM as old versions of Battlefield 2 use an old version of SafeDisc
We have had a number of last minute hacks appear which we have made fixes for to help stabalise the servers.
We have a minor issue to solve with the Chinese version of the game.

While I can't give an exact date, we are aiming to release our first Beta towards the end of April '09 as long as everything else goes well.

============
Update v1.50
============
FEATURES
- Additional support for Windows Vista.
- Added Highway Tampa as a required map.
- Added a new map called Operation Blue Pearl.
GAMEPLAY TWEAKS
- Changes made to both the J10 and F35B to make them more balanced. Please note that the J10 is a superior dogfighter to the F35B and as such these two aircraft will never be equally matched.
- AA targeting tweaked to make it more effective.
- Added checks to prevent "runway grieving".
- Various changes made to prevent cheating.
- Tweaked the hit detection, hits will be more accurate to the model.

Thanks for the info Toby! I sure hope they get this out quickly. Starting the beta at the end of the month would still probably mean end of May (or more likely June) at the earliest for the release. With BF1943 suppose to come out in the summer and BF:Bad Company 2 in the Winter, it may not matter if it's not released soon.

On a related note, there's been some activity on the BF2 channel at night (thanks to Dragon and Junior). When I've been able to jump in there with them, it's been a ton of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I think the patch coming out mid or end of May would be good for BF1943 as it will get people back into the game.

Right now, a lot of people are tired of the hackers who are ruining the game as they do with every game.

I wish they'd add true support for 16:10 resolutions...

Very true.. when I run the game I have to launch a separate program to make the game run in true 16:10 rez.

Bazajaytee has stated that official information about the 1.5 patch should be announced tomorrow, April 21st, through the BF2 website.
