Since we opened new forums we figured that anyone visiting, reading and chatting would also like to have some guidelines. Want to know how to behave on the forums? You can find the guidelines here.

One of our fans, TheWalrus, created a concept of a Russian-style faction, go take a look!

"A few months ago we announced Battlefield 2 Update 1.50 was in development, but so far we have been quiet regarding the content of the update. It is time for us to reveal some of the features the update will contain! The priority for us in this update has been to secure Battlefield 2 against a number of attacks against the game.

We have spent time looking into the attacks and implemented short term solutions with the help of GameSpy to limit the impact of stats padding and leaderboard abuse. Other issues have been found to be game and server based, which is where Update 1.50 comes in. what Battlefield 2 1.50 will contain a number of security updates, including the following:

- Server crashing – We have worked with the issues causing servers to crash, which has caused problems for the community (especially those who rent ranked servers).

- Name/ID spoofing – Extra steps have been implemented to ensure the soldier being used belongs to the right account.

- Commander assets – This is to stop the excessive spawning of multiple crates, UAVs or vehicles.

More information on Update 1.50 will be revealed as we approach the release date! "

"Who are you?
Hey, my name is Dawid Mod

Where are you from?
I’m from Sweden. I grew up in a village called Sävar, about 650km north of Stockholm.
A lot of my time as a teenager was dedicated to art. I often sat in my room making crazy drawings or doing paintings.
In high school and two years after high school I studied art and art history. It wasn’t until university that I discovered the sweet taste of computer graphics and 3D.
I spent a year at the University of Luleå in Skellefteå learning 3D.
This was in 2000 - 2001. The year after, May 2002, I began my career here at DICE.

What do you do on heroes?
I’m an artist creating vehicles, weapons and level art.
Also, I’m working with our talented outsourcing artists, giving them feedback on their work.

What’s your favorite heroes aspect?
I love to dress up my little heroes. Nothing girly about that, at all. It´s just so much fun either to make them look really, really cool or really stupid.
I’m also a fly-boy. I love to sweep over the battlefield, select a target and take them out with my left wing, ahhhhh."

"Last Tuesday we promised to release the clientdownload and torrentpassword today and here you go! Before you get to read the password we want to give you some further information on new content included in OPK 0.26.

OPK 0.26 includes many bugfixes but apart from this there is some completely new content. In addition to a video presentation of the new Fennekcockpit that we gave you some time ago, we want to give you some hints on changes we haven't told you yet. (Read More)"

"We have received lots of great feedback from our beta testers. So much so that we are now ready to enter our next phase. On Friday evening (6pm CET) we will be closing down the current Closed Beta and moving our focus to polishing the backend. So for a while there will be no closed beta available to play. We expect to re-open the beta early next year."

"As we get closer and closer to release day with that ever present weight of a clock above counting down the inexorable hours until AIX 2.0 is unleashed on the community, we have prepared a little guide on the inner workings of the mysterious BF2SPCC which comes with 2.0. Many of you look quizically at its smooth lines and sultry demeanor, while many others have a slight familiarity and disturbing inkling to the true nature of its powers...

What is a BF2SPCC? Its the Battlefield 2 Single Player Command Centre! All joking aside, there's more to this little powerhouse than meets the eye. While it says single player in the title, the BF2SPCC can do so much more. Its true nature materialises in the form of a fully functioning offline stats and awards system, and all at the click of a checkbox no less!

Delve into the guide for a sneak peek at the many other features the BF2SPCC is capable of before its sultry little shortcut adorns your desktop on release day!"

"We have become aware of modified Battlefield 2 ranked servers once again that have had an adverse affect on the leaderboards and player accounts. We are working with our partners to prevent this from happening and to return the leaderboards to normal. If you believe your account has been adversely affected by this contact EA Support at http://support.ea.com."

"We are happy to be able to present our fans (and those who might become fans) the new version 1.5 of BG42. For almost half a year the team worked intensively on this new build, creating a fantastic mod with much new content, combining historical accuracy and fun even further. We´ve shown you most of the new content in past news so that today we point your attention to the changelog at the end of this news.

Our sincere thanks not only go out to our team members which put a lot of work, time, passion and a bit of craziness into Battlegroup42 1.5, but also to all the other supporters like DACV and Dnamro for their Coop versions for some maps."
