Playing maps to earn 'free' unlocks?

[Illegal_Carrot]

I did a little bit of searching, and couldn't find an answer. So I'll just ask this:

I've seen people saying 'If you play some rounds on SF maps, you get 2 free unlocks' and stuff like that. Is this true, or not?
And if so what are the requirements for 'some rounds'?

Thanks in advance.

play 1 round of an sf map/server and score atleast a point and you will unlock the sf unlocks in bf2 along with 2 free unlocks right away

I don't remember getting 2 free unlocks, though. I'm positive that I only got unlocks for rank advancement.
BUT, if it matters, my profiles rank was low (~1000+ points).
And about having fun: I am, I just want the added bonus of 2 unlocks. I paid $30 for SF, so I might as well get all i can out of it.

I've had SF since I've had BF2 almost, so every time I ranked up I got two unlocks.

A friend of mine had to wait like two days before it registered that he had SF.

OK, but it's been more than 2 days.. I'll just keep hoping. And I take it my ranks when I installed SF doesn't matter?
I want my unlocks.. :cry:

Re: Playing maps to earn 'free' unlocks?

Heres how it works, depending on your rank you get a certain number of unlocks in vanilla bf2.

For every vanilla bf2 unlock you have, if you play sf and get one point, you get an extra unlock...like I said PER unlock you already have.

So if you have 3 reg unlocks you get 3 extra.

so does this work in SP?

Everything with unlocks must be done on ranked servers. So if you mean earning unlocks: then you must do so from playing on a ranked server. If you mean using unlocks: you can only normally do so on a ranked server.

"retroactive" unlocks start at sergeant. So for instance if you had bf2 first and were a sergeant, you would only get one "free unlock" when you played SF. If you are a Staff Sergeant now and buy SF, you will 2 "free unlocks" and so on and so forth. As a gunnery sergeant, you should get 3 "free unlocks" upon playing SF for awhile....These unlocks can be used on tier 2 OR tier 3 unlocks.

Re: Playing maps to earn 'free' unlocks?

If you install BF2 AND SF at the same time and play at least one round of SF before you rank up then you will get 2 unlocks each time you rank.

Now if you install SF after you ranked up some..play a round of SF then you will be given RETROACTIVE unlocks.

Example you have BF2 only andyou have 3 unlocks(thats 3 rankups) if you install SF and play a round of it...shortly after(about a day or two) you will be given 3 extra unlocks and from that point on you will recieve 2 unlocks per rankup, as opposed to the single unlock with vanilla Bf2.

I hope this helps.

Damn, the guy above beat me to it....yeah, what the dude above me said.

They all summed it up so i am late.lol
But yes that is why alot of people have more unlocks. and if ya look at all the stat pages, they have 2 tiers of unlocks for each kit.
