DICE is preparing for the MoH launch in a couple weeks and also has BC2:Vietnam (and ongoing support for BC2, such that it is) that all are getting in the way of getting this patch done. If we see the final release by the end of the year, we'll be very fortunate.

Not arguing the possible timeline, but I thought I recalled seeing that DICE had hired Jason Bryce.

I think he was/is under contract but still not actually an employee of Dice.

Looks like with BC2:Nam done 2142 gets some help again...see information below and following link.

Battlefield 2142 1.51 (hopefully final) Beta - Electronic Arts UK Community

Battlefield 2142 1.51 (hopefully final) Beta
So we got our programmer back to work on BF2142 1.51 and he fixed the server problem we had remaining and are sending out the servers to the Beta server providers today.

Tomorrow 17th December 2010 will see the release of hopefully the last BF2142 1.51 Beta and will run until mid-January 2011 where we'll decide, based on your feedback, if it is final and ready for release.

I'll update this post with download links when I have them but you'll generally be able to pick the new client up at Fileplay tomorrow.

The only changes have have been server side but the client had to be updated to have the version numbers match.

As long as there are no major issues in the update like new constant crashes, black screens, server failure etc then this will also be the version that is released as final so you won't need to install another version after.

This v1.51 update contains:

No DRM on the BF2142.exe file
Northern Strike free for everyone
Whole bunch of new maps including Strike at Karkand 2142 and Operation Blue Pearl.
Account security updates
More...

EDIT: The Beta will go live around 2pm UK today. You can get the client from around 1:45pm from here: http://www.fileplay.net/file/12316/bf2142-patch-1-51-beta

Oh yes - and it'll happen (please?)

I'll say that if a steam release happens, I'll buy it. No fucking with EA downloader, no screwing with patches and BS, and never losing the CDs again...

yup. If I ever had to reinstall I'd likely do the same. As it stands I've been luck and never once had to do the reinstall dance on my PC since I rebuilt it 3 years ago.
