Ea Explains Unlock

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

Well, some of us 'unlocked' the undefined guns... which I can only assume are the L96 and P90: I hope when the patch comes, they're actually unlocked as opposed to my selections going "in the void" because of their test... because that would fu-king p-ss me off.

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

AARRRRGHHH!!! I'm confused as hell. I saw the 2 unlock screen awell, so i unlocked them, i'm at gunnery seargant at 12361 points and i have got SF and its two unlocks when i first got it, which i think i was at rank seargant. So, now, because i've selected my 2 unlocks without knowing that i could save it for the p90 and the l96 i have wasted them. I heard that people with SF still get unlocks they missed when they had ranks above lance corporal or something when the next patch comes out, so i'm still hopeful that i get the unlocks when the patch is released. PLEASE CLARIFY!!!!

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

Its really strange, I just logged on and received 2 unlocks. The screen was not empty though. It had the jackhammer. Im saving it for the 2 new unlocks though.

yeah same thing i had been saving one so i got two more, i was suprised and didnt think they would work but they did. then i hoped nobody would accuse me of cheating and getting my account wiped. but then it started to happen to everyone.

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

I just think it's funny that people used unlocks they didn't earn (well, technically they did but whatever) and didn't even think about how they might have gotten them. Also, if you read DICE's statements they make this wasn't their screw up, they said it would happen and that it was intended. Now we know to read first, right?

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

I Had that i unlocked 2 unlocks i did not know why.. but there was one blank so i did not click to unlock it so i would not get nothing as my unlock...

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

I unlocked the awesome PKM (gotta love that gun) and the G376e - the 2 guns I planned unlocking on my 5k points promotion anyway.

Ill get the P90 and the Jackhammer when I next level up - I for one will forgo the AWP because I hate playing sniper, it bores me. Up close and personal is more my thing :)

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

This is total bunk.... I figured that this had something to do with the new patch so I unlocked my new guns.... never that that it would have anything to do with the new guns I would get a chance to unlock when the booster pack / expansion came out. If this is the case.... SoB.... Im going to be sooooo miffed... I never really play support anyway.

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

Did any of you ask yourself why you suddenly got an option to unlock 2 weapons when you weren't expecting it?

Did anyone say '"I had better take my time here because something looks wrong"?

I hope that things work out for those that 'wasted' unlocks (you can't really waste one though can you?) and I know that the amount of time between the DiCE info and the unlocks was too short.

It's come to something when the average BF2 player has to scrutinize every action they take when they go to play a game, and have to search the internet for information on why they have suddenly received 2 new unlocks, or else there will be very long term consequences.

The point is, the 2 new unlocks SHOULD NOT have been made available until AFTER the 1.2 patch was released, and after the user had installed the patch on their computer. Then the next time they start up BF2, there would be new unlocks available which would include the 2 new weapons included in the patch instead of just the weapon unlocks from BF2 and/or SF only. In my case I would have had 4 weapons to choose from, rather than the last 2 remaining weapons.

The user would have expected there would be changes after installing the patch, and would understand that the new unlocks would have to be something to do with the patch.

I think a fair few of us thought that perhaps something had gone wrong with the weapon unlock system, and thought "why not" when clicking to unlock some weapons. I just feel that EA allowing these unlocks was way too premature and is going to cause damage to the BF2 community.

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

lets see here, the patch will bring the awp and the p90, it will also bring more accurate machineguns. we already have an m95 and a doa12, so the new unlocks will be pretty much pointless. machineguns on the other hand, you can never have enough of. the mg36 is a good opforce saw, and the pkm is the most effective anti helicopter small arm in the game. just get the support unlocks, they are effective.

I had a tough time agreeing with this but I finally do. The LMGs, as is, are veerrryyy useful. I'm saving my two unlocks for the new weapons but if you don't have the PKM and MG36 then you should get them right away. Unless you loathe the support class, they are must-haves and the two unlocks seem kind of pointless other than esthetics and style.

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

I did think it was something for the patch, otherwise i wouldn't have seen the blank unlocks aswell which nedd patching in. However, i heard that people with SF will get extra unlocks they missed when 1.2 comes out.

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

Sorry about this, but i haven't read this thread yet. I unlocked 2 weapons today ( the jackhammer and the G36c) and i'm at Gunnery seargant. Does that mean that when the patch releases, i won't be getting any unlocks? If so DAMN cos i was w8ting for the p90 and the L96.

Well then read the thread, jacka$$. You think we're all just hanging around here to wait on you?

Re: Ea Explains Unlock

I have heard that after you unlock then you patch, you would have to wait till the next rank to unlock the new guns. Thats why I am gonna get to 7,985, patch, get 15 more points, play until the end of the round, reboot BF2, unlock me P90. Full-Proof. If it is the 2 unlock things at whatever rank you are at, it will mean that I will get 2 unlocks, get 15 more points, play until the end of round, reboot BF2, unlock another gun. If it is the 2 unlock things, I should be able to get 3 unlocks. I don't have SF so this is a good victory if it goes the way I visualized.
