And afaik there's also more - some things that are not on this list - maybe widescreen support? Firstly, sorry I have been away for so long, its been a busy time. So here as per request in a number of threads here is an update to where we are with 1.50.
Yes its still coming
- We have been working on a few things to do with DRM as old versions of Battlefield 2 use an old version of SafeDisc
- We have had a number of last minute hacks appear which we have made fixes for to help stabalise the servers.
- We have a minor issue to solve with the Chinese version of the game.
While I can't give an exact date, we are aiming to release our first Beta towards the end of April '09 as long as everything else goes well.
DRM?
What we are looking at doing for Battlefield is removing the requirement for the DVD to be in the drive during boot up. Whether we can get this going is what we are checking. It won't limit your installs on other machines or limit how many times you can install though.

Update v1.50 Changelog (as of today)
============
FEATURES
- Additional support for Windows Vista.
- Added Highway Tampa as a required map.
- Added a new map called Operation Blue Pearl.
GAMEPLAY TWEAKS
- 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". (If a player stands in front of a jet, he cant punish the pilot when teamkilled, and the pilot does NOT loose any points either.)
- Various changes made to prevent cheating.
- Tweaked the hit detection, hits will be more accurate to the model.
Does this sound awesome or what?
One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't say anything about widescreen support, nor anything about bugfixes. I guess time will show..
