There is a new server now

Let's try to get on that one, I've got a feeling its going to be a really popular server

If you want to play a good new map with your TG buddies then come along !

Download 1.4 patch from
EA (probably slow)
I3D (probably fast)


Make sure you follow the Read Me instructions so that you can easily switch between 1.3 & 1.4

Code:

Installation steps to protect your original BF2 install:
Beta Installation

Go to “C:\Program Files\EA GAMES”
Right click the “Battlefield 2” folder and choose “Copy”
Right click anywhere away from this folder and choose “Paste”
Once the copy has completed, you will have two folders named “Battlefield 2” and “Copy of Battlefield 2”
Install the patch 1.4 beta, then start the game as normal

When you wish to switch back to the release version of BF2, use the following steps:

Go to “C:\Program Files\EA GAMES”
Right click the “Battlefield 2” folder and choose “Rename”
Rename the folder to something like “Battlefield 2 Beta”
Right click the “Copy of Battlefield 2” folder
Rename the folder the “Battlefield 2”
Start the game as normal.

The shortcut will run BF2.exe from whichever folder is named “Battlefield 2” and both installations share the same registry entries. 

Using the above steps will negate the need to completely uninstall and re-install whenever you wish to switch from the retail version to the beta version and vice versa.
