More than four years since the game first hit the shelves, and a good six months since they started beta testing it, the v1.5 update for Battlefield 2 has now officially launched.
As part of Update 1.50 we are glad to announce that not only is Highway Tampa now a required install included in the update but Euro Forces (Great Wall, Taraba Quarry and Operation Smoke Screen) and Armored Fury (Midnight Sun, Operation Harvest and Operation Road Rage) is now FREE for all Battlefield 2 players. Including the brand new map, Operation Blue Pearl this brings EIGHT new maps that everyone can play and will be added to ranked Battlefield 2 servers world wide. The Booster Pack content is included in the update and has made the file just over 2Gb in size.
You can nab it
right here from AusGamers files.
Despite its size, this is still an incremental patch and does require that you're already
patched to v1.4.

I think it's pretty cool that they still patch this game, even though it's taken a long time for this patch to come out. Usually devs stop giving a s*** after a year or two.

Nice to play in proper widescreen. Heard a lot of people b****ing about the choppers and how they fly. My only complaint is how much I hate being pwned by the TV cam chopper.
Have had a couple of crashes to desktop however can't rule out that I haven't restarted system since reinstalling.

Patch to 1.41
Then apply this latest patch
Dan did mention this in the opening patch that is if that's what's giving you grief.
Otherwise, try deleting all temp folder content and try again.
