1.4 Patch BetaThere is some very exciting news coming out of the Official Battlefield 2 website today. The 1.4 patch has now been released in beta form for everyone to try out and test. Listen up:
Greetings!
We are beginning the first phase of our 1.4 patch beta testing! This initial phase of testing will only include a small number of servers whose focus is to ensure stability in a live environment. At the completion of this phase we will be rapidly expanding the number of servers hosted to allow everyone an opportunity to review this latest patch.
I would like to stress that everyone who downloads the beta files should take the time to read the included text file so that you can properly safeguard your current BF2 install.
Also please note that EA Customer Service can not provide any support for issues related to the Beta Patch. I encourage everyone to log into the EA-Battlefield forums and participate on the 1.4 Patch Beta discussions that will cover both 1.4 issues, tuning changes, and new features.

A few of the servers hosted will be set to the new ‘No Vehicles’ server setting that will allow players to focus on infantry vs infantry combat on all BF2 and Special Forces Maps. Other servers will include the new "Road to Jalalabad" map, sponsored by Comcast, which will allow US and MEC forces to engage in a new urban warfare environment!
Everyone here at EA and DICE look forward to working with the community to ensure this next patch is a solid step forward for the Battlefield Franchise.

If the "No vechile" servers are in place they should change their rules of engagement also 
(No infantry only server policy)

i think i'll wait, the patches suck most of the time being buggy after they release them as it is!

I'm not sure what they were thinking by changing the way everything works in "infantry only" from damage-points and weapon stats to spawn times and almost everything else. Most people i have spoken to about it simply wanted the vehicle spawns to be removed from the game to stop Armour/jet and attack helo domination.
It's this need to mess with every aspect of the game that gets DICE into trouble by creating new bugs, for example the defib bug is caused by this code change. I have tried the beta patch for a while but found the bugs too numerous to evaluate it properly.
Personally i wasnt that interested in Infantry-only anyway but probably would have given the city maps a go and certainly it would have made Wake Island much more enjoyable for the USMC (the boats are still used) But that was when i thought the actual game would be the same just without vehicles, now this is not the case i am not in the slightest bit interested in what is in essence a completly different game just with the same maps.
