Battlefield 2142 may have been released 18 months ago but the development team at Digital Illusions and Electronic Arts are still supporting the sci-fi multiplayer shoooter. Recently the official Battlefield web site revealed plans for a new upcoming patch, 1.50, that will be more than just the usual bug fixes for the game.

In addition to bug fixes the new 1.50 patch will add two new maps to the game created by third party community members. One is a remake of the classic Battlefield 1942 map Wake Island while the other will be and all new map titled Operation Shingle (previously released as a third party map called Anzio). The patch will also add support for widescreen monitors (16:9 and 16:10 resolutions) as well as an option to play games without any of those pesky vehicles, because apparently some players want to fight it out on foot on those massive maps.The 1.50 patch will be released sometime soon, first as a public beta before it is officially released.
