The Battletest 2 patch was designed as a Directors Cut of EA's very own 1.05/6 patch (also produced by Gamereplays.org); hence, BT2DC aka BTP. MaDDoX and company were asked by EA to put a patch together for them to release following the failures of 1.04 in terms of balance. They did so, and this became the official 1.05 patch, later 1.06 just to fix a small glitch but with no balance changes. Yet due to certain time constraints there were aspects of the game which were overlooked or had to be left out; while the main focus of Battletest2 (BT2), was increasing the factional uniqueness and fun factor, you may have felt a slight lack of complexity while playing 1.06.
The BT2DC is simply the finished product of what 1.05/6 was meant to be from the start. Containing massive ramifications that dramatically improve the quality of balance, usefulness of all heroes/units/powers and of course game play depth. Each respective iteration that is released by MaDDoX onto Gamereplays.org has had and will continue to have input from all the best players in BFME 2, in order to improve this already nearly perfect patch! The newest installment of the BT2DC is version 2.4, equipped with an auto installer and a few minor balance changes!
We have worked for over a year on the BT2DC, which is close to perfection. Now it is our hope to get the original vision of the official 1.06 patch out to all in its completed form. So with great honor we are proud to present you with the Battletest 2: Directors Cut, a dream come true of what 1.06 was meant to be!!
