Re: Euro Force/special forces unlocks

you have all the weapons you had. EF just puts a different skin on them.

What "unlocks" did you get? There are no new unlocks with EF, just SF. EF just lets you play a different army: the EU. (And note that this army already exists in vanilla BF2, just no official maps use it outside of EF.)

EF doesn't change any handheld weapons; it just adds a few new vehicles (some are just new skins for US vehicles).

My mistake, it's been a long while since I had decent EF time.

Re: Euro Force/special forces unlocks

There's at least one BF2 unlock that's standard issue in EF, the MP90. So you might have unlocked this for BF2, but it isn't an unlock in EF. This isn't available in SF, though; so you'd get a different unlock choice.

played it last night.

Some of the first level weapons you have as EU have different skins as I suspected.

Different from what? If you aren't playing EF (or an SP unlock mod) you can't see any of the EU weapons in vanilla BF2 (except the P90 and L96 which double as level 2 unlocks).

Here's the screenie of them. Medic, support, assault and engineer are not the regular skins nor sounds of anything in vanilla nor SF.

You forgot the sniper rifle. It's also an unlock for SF. Tisk tisk, you know better Sun. :laugh:

Those aren't different skins, they are completely different weapons. Saying they have "different skins" would be like saying that the USA has different skins from the MEC and CHI weapons. It's technically true but implies that they are the same other than the skin which is not true.

Re: Euro Force/special forces unlocks

If there are hit charts that will show anyone at EA went to some effort to do little more than reskin some weapons and create new reload animation and sound I will retract. I bet these weapons from a statistics and hit standpoint are just reskins.

Look at Black_Duck's table (http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56385 ) or bf2s (http://wiki.bf2s.com/weapons/comparison ). The L96 sniper rifle is pretty much just a reskin; it's basically the M24 with a thinner scope crosshair. The others are no more similar to USA weapons than the Chi or MEC weapons are. They have different accuracies, damage, magazine capacities, firing modes, etc.

Re: Euro Force/special forces unlocks

Dang you and your proof! OK I retract.

Thanks for finding the research on that. I would have never given EA credit for reworking those weaps. I'm suprised they made some of the EF weps better accuracy and zoom than the others.

Re: Euro Force/special forces unlocks

The HK21, HK53, and Benelli M4 are very nice weapons. I only wish there were more ranked maps using the EU army. Seems like a lot of effort creating new weapons, tanks, and aircraft for only 3 maps. I've modded several maps for SP/co-op replacing the USA with EU.
