Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

[hammondoftexas]

It's really nice that EA/DICE are releasing new unlocks for sniper and AT kits. I love the AT kit and just got the special forces expansion. This is the thing that bugs me though. When I got the special forces expansion I quickly used all my new unlock points. I was recently promoted to First Sergeant(20,000 points). This means that I will have to earn 30,000 for my next rank Sergeant Major(50,000) just to get 1 of the 2 new unlocks. I see this as completely unfair. If EA/DICE would have included these new unlocks originally with the special forces expansion, I most likely would have unlocked the special forces AT unlock, seeing how it is my favorite kit, but now I have to get 30,000 more points just to use it. EA/DICE should allow you to give up unlock points so you can unlock and use the new weapons that they are going to release with the new patch.

If anyone, like a moderator of the forums, has contact with EA/DICE, can you please forward this to them please.

if you have special forces than you can get 2 unlocks. because for each rank up you get you get 1 uinlock for vanila bf2 and 1 unlock for SF, so once the patch comes out and these weapons are released youll be able to unlock both but you wont have 2 other guns unlocked.

Yeah, I agree completly.

I hope they give you back your Special Forces unlock points, as many people would not be able to use the new weapons til they rank up.

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

Yeah, I thought about that too, but I realized that I didn't really care since I hardly play any original BF2 maps now that I've got the expansion. I guess it sucks for people who stick with the old maps. Another wierd move from DICE if you ask me; couldn't they just include the 2 new guns with the expansion? They did it for the other classes, why did they choose to wait for the AT class and sniper class unlocks?

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

do you have a source we can see regarding this interview. i assumed that there would not be any other unlocks offered until the next expansion and am now in the same boat as you. 1st sargeant with nearly 30k points until the next promotion.

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

as they said in the interview (or the xfire interview, one of the two) it was due to time constraints. they felt the two kits that had the best current unlocks were the sniper and at.

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

Well, I think they (EA/Dice) are going to give us "free" unlocks:

ya, i guess u could say the M95 wins as the most SIMILAR gun to the M24, as it's just a TINY bit different, but it's far from teh best. The DAO has won favor from many players, but i still see MUCH more players using guns like the G36C or F2000.

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

Now, The M95 wasn't put in there to be able to get infantry kills. If you want that you can get the M24 or the SVD or whatever tha black chinese Sniper is...But It was but in there because you can kill a Helo Pilot before he takes off and him have zero idea where you are other than you had a rifle that just shot THROUGH THE GLASS OF HIS WINDOW...now against infantry it does the same damage...Look at any weapon scale, it agrees with me. The DAO-12 was in there to present and defend the ATer at short distance and the Mp5, if your good, can get you s few long distance to medium range kills.


I have stated my case...Thank You and Good Day

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

Strange... I think I read the same interview and read nothing about new unlocks for those two classes... I did read they were changing firebehaviour (accuracy) for them...

could anyone enlighten me..?

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

yea, i haven't heard anything about this, but not like I wouldn't be all for some more guns to kill people with :p

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

Sniper is my primary mode of play, but unfortunately I already used my unlocks. Now it seems that I'm going to have to earn 20,000 points before I get another unlock. I hope they have taken this into consideration.

Re: Regarding New Unlocks Talked About in Interview

Correct me if I am wrong ( I am new to these forums) but I have read the interviews as well and they mention more unlocks but not of which class. They do say they will IMPROVE the accuracy of the AT and sniper kit. I know that the AT and sniper were the only two kits that did not get new guns with the SF Expansion but can you simply assume that they will get new ones in the new updates? I think the forums 'word of mouth' has kinda taken over and warped what they said from the interview into what people want to hear.

Im not saying those wont be the unlocks, I am just trying to find where you guys came up with this idea and how come your so sure of it.
