Finally, DICE and EA have released the 1.50 Beta Patch for Battlefield 2. It adds one new map (Blue Pearl) and includes the previously optional download of Highway Tampa. Here is the complete list of changes:

• Additional support for Windows Vista.
• Added Highway Tampa as a required map.
• Added a new map called Operation Blue Pearl.
• Added support for Widescreen resolutions
• Added support for the Novint Falcon controller – www.novint.com
• Changes made to both the J10 and F35B to make them more balanced. Please note that the J10 is a superior dogfighter to the F35B and as such these two aircraft will never be equally matched.
• AA targeting tweaked to make it more effective.
• Added checks to prevent “runway grieving”.
• Various changes made to prevent cheating.
• Tweaked the hit detection, hits will be more accurate to the model.
• Increased the time to go prone after jumping from 0.3 seconds to 0.7 seconds
• Fixed G36E HUD during sprinting to match other weapons.

The update comes in pretty huge at 1.26GB and requires the game to be updated to version 1.41 already.
