Re: EA Marketing is genius

well i, too, wont be buying the game, but even if i did, i doubt that the unlocks would matter. The game made it so no class could dominate another so each gun has their own weakness and strong points, and in real life army, u chose a gun like m16, learn to use it and u stick with it until the end of the war..usually

Yes, but you don't see quite how it works, to make balance and not make them all the same they change stuff, like the fact that the LA-85 medic unlock is far better over long range than the other non-unlock guns, however it sucks at close range where the others are better.
This means that the more choice you have of guns the better one you can chose for the situation, giving you an advantage, also they get flash bangs and other stuff.

What I'm saying is that it is possible, without hacking, for a person who does not own a copy of SF to obtain and use SF unlocks just like anyother unlock, to use whenever one pleases, without killing someone and picking it up, and all using the same name and account that said person has been using for months.


Not a hack at all. No modification of one's files are required. Just a flaw in EA's system.

Would you like to explain how for the people who haven't played with the patch yet. (like me)

We'll probably be forced to buy SF anyway as the number of vanilla BF2 servers drops dramatically. That's pretty sad, I'm not planning on getting SF just yet, but I feel like I will be forced to later.

No that will never happen, there are always more of the original game servers than the expanision ones.
In BF1942 there was more DC servers than the original game ones.

I hope that's true - I largely play on servers of different clans, and hope that enough of them won't be moving on to SF.

Ea is a money monger and their own system and license agreement plays against them…

Re: EA Marketing is genius

So then tell me why the assault unlock is a FLASH BANG....that is part of the assault kit in BF2: SF???????? huh what you gonna carry 2 now...think before you speak....note you can see this first hand in the BFHQ under the assault unlock

I kinda misunderstood your post I think... but you do need to have the first unlocks before you can unlock anything else with the other kits...

Wow..that made absolutely no sense.

I mean seriously, its $30 people. You have countless hours of entertainment. Can you say you spend $30 on something else that gives you that much fun? You go to an amusement park, pay $50 for a ticket to get in, and you have at most 10 hours of entertainment. Movies are $7-10 for 2 hours of entertainment. Its a small price for 1000's of hours of entertainment.

FH. Free. Better than 42, BF2, etc. FREE. 1000's of hours of entertainment.

'nuff said.

When is this empty analogy going to die? I'd much rather pay the $50 to get into Cedar Point and be able to ride Millenium Force, Raptor, Mantis, Magnum, and of course THE tallest and THE fastest coaster currently in existance, Top Thrill Dragster. I can tell you, one day in that park will create things called memories, and the desire to go back. You actually experience the rides with something more than your eyes, you FEEL the entertainment. (no, large sound systems causing your room to shake do NOT count on your computer).

Computer games, on the other hand, only have you sitting there on your butt, clicking your mouse buttons and hitting the keyboard. You SEE the action, but you don't actually feel it. You might be lucky to catch someone on VoiP and be able to hear those you are playing with (in-game sounds excluded, as it's not the actual person you're playing the game with), you can't smell anything in SF as opposed to being able to smell the food from the various shops and kiosks positioned around a theme park (or that person near you in line for Top Thrill Dragster when the thing just broke down for the 3rd time :p )

The extra $20 bucks to get in a park for one day is definately worth it, as you actually EXPERIENCE the entertainment. Saying, in your case, Special Forces (or any other game, for that matter), is worth so much more for the money you're getting, is like saying you'd get the same experience out of watching a video of a camera that was attached to the front car of a train on a roller coaster than if you actually got on the ride yourself. It's just foolish, for $30 you're getting the ability to simply see, but for $50 you can see, as well as feel, hear, touch, and smell the entertainment. Sorry, but I think Special Forces loses in that situation, as does any other game.
