BF2142: Q&A on the Upcoming Patch 1.50

I sorta' got frustrated with BF2142 while waiting that long ass stretch for the 1.4 patch to actually come out, but every so often I do get an urge to reinstall (same with BF2). Anyhoo, this Q&A from EA about 1.50 managed to tickle my fancy:

[Battlefield 2142] Q&A covering the upcoming Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50

. 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.

Q. How did you select the community maps to include in Update 1.50?

A. Both maps we decided to include in Update 1.50 were selected from a wide choice of maps that are out there in the community, it was felt they brought something new to Battlefield 2142 and although some of you will have seen them before in previous forms, they have now been updated and are new maps to Battlefield 2142. Both groups have worked closely with DICE Live and have gone through extensive testing to get the best balance and Battlefield experience from the maps. Wake Island 2142 also holds a little twist to the way Conquest game mode is usually played so watch out for that.

Q. When will Battlefield 2142 Update 1.50 be released?

A. Update 1.50 will be released for public beta in the not too distant future and is there to get your feedback as well as run checks on server stability. Visit www.battlefield.com for more announcements regarding the beta and launch and leave your feedback on the forums.

Ahh, COD4, when will you be getting vehicles?

And now to check on that Crysis/MechWarrior MOD!
