Thread: BF2142 1.51 OPEN Beta

Battlefield 2142 v1.51 Public Beta 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 - http://www.fileplay.net/file/10054/b...tch-1-51-beta1

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

Personally...I am going to hold off until it is official and released on Steam...If it jacks up my game I really don't want to go through the 123's....456789... etc. of reinstalling 1.50.

Played 3 rounds: 2 of Strike at Karkand, and 1 of Operation Blue Pearl

My results are skewed due to the fact that all the Beta servers are based overseas, so my ping was resting around 147-250.

The new maps were a nice change, though Karkand and Blue Pearl are as unbalanced as ever, though Karkand features a new weapon emplacement: Shuko's mounted on stone blocks with iron sights, the first weapon not a pistol to feature iron sights. Speaking of weapons, the LMGs have been toned down, by a lot (according to my experience), while the SMGs and stock ARs have been buffed yet again.

One negative side effect is that Autobalance is borked. Oftentimes, the rounds would become horribly skewed 15 to 30.

Aside from all that, be prepared for latency when you try to go on. Either they're using overseas servers, or they're not dedicating their best servers for the Open Beta.

Edit: Oh, and the CD is no longer required for the Open Beta, and that likely means will not be needed for patch 1.51.

I played last night and had a blast. Lots of armer. I hope I see you all in the future. Last night there was like a lot TG players, so were are the TPG guys. Lets get going and rock man. shoot you later evilblackjack.
