Battlefield 2142 v1.50 Patch Details & QnA

Planet Battlefield has the latest details on the upcoming v1.50 patch for Battlefield 2142. The v1.50 patch will also contain two new maps and is scheduled to release sometime in the near-future.

Q. What new content will we see in Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50?

A. As well as a number of bug fixes and tweaks based on community feedback we are going to be releasing two new maps created by community members. Wake Island makes its return to Battlefield PC thanks to the guys at Sir. Community and a map which you may have heard of called Anzio will be appearing with a name change as Operation Shingle created by Jason Brice. We are also bringing a No Vehicles option to a number of 2142 maps for those players who want to fight it out on foot as well as allowing you to access 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions for those widescreen monitors. We also heard your cries for movement in pods to be re-introduced on transport ship escape pods so we have been working on giving that back to you while still limiting pod surfing use.

Team Fortress 2 - Medic Unlocks/Goldrush Update

We reported last month that VALVe plans to release medic unlocks and Goldrush map this month. Ofcourse, with VALVe, you can never be sure of the release dates. Steam forum member sumowski contacted Valve, and got a reply from Robin Walker regarding the update:

And we repeat, with Valve, you can never be sure with the release dates. So take this e-mail with a grain of salt until you’re finally playing Goldrush map with Medic unlocks.
