This sounds great. I'll have to check this content out once it is released. Shouldn't take me any more than 30 minutes to grab it off of BitTorrent or FileFront (BitTorrent if FileFront is not giving me max speed) if the file is really going to be 2GB+ big.

it is and it includes a no-cd patch

Well the new map (operation blue pearl) is pretty nice but very foggy and the fact that the static anti air now does its job is great but if you already had the booster packs (like me and thousands of others) you will probably be disappointed with the patch, theres been no real attempt to stem the cheating mofo's and some cheat sites had thier hax ready and waiting for the 1.5 patch..

Ive been a big fan of BF2 but I believe its comming to end simply because there will be no more patches and have given away 2 booster packs that you had to pay for a year ago, by this time next year I can see EA offering BF2 as a free download :dunno:

Very nice, I'll grab this when I have time. A round of BF2 every once in a while is always exciting ^^

About time there's a No-CD patch! I hate having to insert game disks during this day in age.

EA are now working on a hotfix for the 1.5 patch to fix the alt-tab issue (alt-tab minimises the game).
after a lot of complaints to EA they have decided to address this problem and there is a temporary fix which can be found here...

I personally have not used this fix but some of clan members have and it has caused a few a problems so use it at your own risk..

I really dont why they want to fix this, maybe its so the cheaters can minimise thier game to start up thier 3rd party cheat software :rant2:

there is no release date for the proper fix but i'll be keeping my eye on it and i'll let y'all know when the proper fix is available
