I don't think that means anything, does it? If that person who posted it has EF installed already, the patch would update it. I have the big DVD set with everything BF2, so if I applied the patch, that directory would appear for me too.
Funny how I ninja'd my own answer.

(sorry for my bad english)
I ve just installed 1.5 beta patch.I tried on PR and apparently it "works".
I mean, of course i can't connect on any servers ( not the same version error ) but i could play a training map in "solo".I ran a few test ( run,aim,take a AT kit, shoot a AT round, drive a Supply truck etc. ) and it goes well.
But i don't know if it works for server side.
I hope for a PR fix for server !

who in their right mind(s)* would buy one of those falcon things??
no realism at all, it would be a bit heavy to hold in a weaver stance for more than 5 minutes
* plural for those suffering multiple personality disorders

Nice! I can finally take my second CD drive out of my computer that held my BF2 CD for the last 3 years. Most of my games are from Steam so I really don't swap CDs very often.

It's not real widescreen support. It's just a weird kind of stretching.

If it still works, I'd say so.
Mind you, I've only heard it from players who have tried the patch already.
