Here is what the BF2/Dice Team had to say regarding this patch:
Attention Soldiers!
First and foremost is the news many of you have been hoping for the long awaited 1.4 patch for Battlefield 2 goes live
today. After much anticipation the new patch featuring the new "Road to Jalalabad" map which is sponsored by Comcast is available for
download. We deeply appreciate everyone's patience during this patch cycle and look forward to playing with you on the new map!
Meanwhile in the Battlefield 2142 tuning beta we are working at a furious pace to incorporate player feedback into our
development. Players have commented on all aspects of 2142. From the dynamic new Hover Tank to our new Titan game mode players are
making themselves heard. We are pleased that we have already taken steps to improve client and server stability while also making
changes to the game experience directly based on player feedback, in game play tactics, and (of course) use of exploits. All of our
efforts with the Tuning Beta are to ensure this next step for Battlefield raises the bar for team based FPS games everywhere.
The recently announced Veterans Program gives everyone who has played Battlefield 2 the ability to reserve a soldier name and
receive an immediate boost in rank so that they are able to hit the field running. Many of you have established an identity as
premiere players on the sandy streets of Karkand or in the skies above Wake Island. This is your opportunity to continue building
your legacy in a whole new Battlefield! Veterans also receive an exclusive in-game indicator of their Veterans status and a special
verbal taunt in BF2 together with patch 1.4.
- Your Battlefield Team
