<p><span>The beta for testing the new 1.50 update for Battlefield 2 is now available for everyone who want to help out and test the new patch. It contains a new map, Operation Blue Pearl, along with a number of security updates.<br /><br /></span><span>The beta will be running for at least a couple of weeks, to give the developers enough time to gather feedback from the beta testers (and hopefully make changes if that&rsquo;s needed). Feedback is welcome on the EA forums (mainly the EA UK forums looking at previous communication from DICE: <a href=";http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-series/"><span>http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-series/</span></a>.<br /></span><span><br />The current list of changes can be seen below.
