Re: Unlocks unavailable???

dude....you can't play with unlocked sf weapons in sf because they are stock weapons. Do you get mad because when you play MEC you can't use the m16. Unlocks in special forces carry to bf2 only.

Re: Unlocks unavailable???

what, so I can only use my SF2 unlocks in BF2??? Another thing I've noticed is that whenever I pick up someone elses pack it is always the scar?

It's a popular weapon and one of the first unlocks for most SF folks. What about this can you not follow?

Re: Unlocks unavailable???

Ok right, maybe I'm having trouble understanding. Let's see if anyone can help me work this out...

1) The new unlocks I got after I installed BF2:SF are only available when I play on Vanilla BF2 not on the new SF maps? e.g. I cannot use the G36E in SF only normal BF2.

2)I can use the Weapons I unlocked whilst playing BF2 vanilla in BF2:SF.

3)If the SF waepons can only be played on the Vanilla maps why do some people have the SCAR unlocked on SF maps? I can't unlock the SCAR in SF even though I have unlocked it in BF2 vanilla.

This seems a bit crazy to me that the SF weapons can only be played in BF2 vanilla.

Re: Unlocks unavailable???

The "unlocks" are the DEFAULT weapons for CERTAIN armies in SF.

So, for example, the US assault troops get the SCAR as their DEFAULT weapon on Devil's Perch, you don't need to unlock it.

But if you play MEC on this map then you get the AK.

So basically they have some new guns in SF that are given to the US or SAS troops on certian maps. And they thought...."Hey! let's let people use these NEW weapons in BF2!"

So basically, unlocking a weapon will have ZERO effect on what you can and can't play with in SF, it totally depends on the map and army you use.

The unlocks only let you transfer the new stuff to BF2.

It isn't "crazy", they wanted to limit the new weapons to specific armies and maps. For example, some maps have NO weapons with a grenade launcher.
Make sense?
