Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

but the unlocks really aren't better than other weapons. Just different.

You can get owned by a stock weapon, just as easily as unlocks.

Really? the unlocks are better then the stocks. compare the medic stock vs G36E ... there's no doubt about that

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

I still think it's like buying Special Forces. I remain at my opinion; fair, but totally gay.

Anyone know why this question was moved?

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

people who buy the booster packs should get 1 free unlock with them

Why, Arc Angel?
Like I said in a post before SF came out. EA has invented a make believe world and became the weapons dealers. So if you want the new pretty weapon you can have it just go buy the pack it comes in. Oh and by the way you can sample this weapon (try it out) by picking it up off of dead soldiers who already have it. (Kinda like drug dealers giving you a free sample) Then you will go wow, this is great and rush out to buy the pack. Knowing all the time that in a few weeks there will be another new pack with a new weapon in it too and you will say "EA can stuff it, all the weapons are just alike they only look different". About a week after the next pack is out, you stumble on a dead soldier with the new weapon and pick it up. You say "Wow, this is great" and rush right out. . . . . .
See its a never, well almost never, ending circle. Yes, Im hooked Too. So here I am sitting waiting for the new pretty weapon, I will get killed and someone will pick it up and. . . . . .Red

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

i'm sorry if it sounded like a suggestion, but it was really an assumption. that EA will offer a free unlock to anyone who buys the booster pack, in an attempt to sell as many boosters as possible.

again, sorry for the mix-up

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

Wtf no.

Dont get me wrong I would love a whole load of new unlocks, but I dont want some green bitch having all the unlocks I have. Its bad enough as it is with people having almost all the unlocks at 10k.

No offence but **** all you lot with a life, we dont give a **** you have to do things and cant get the score you want thats your fault. I play alot and am proud to have decent stats, and I am proud of my rare guns that now have turned to peices of ****.

Things I want from unlocks

1: A decent looking gun that is my style.
2: Hard to attain.


Like the unlock situation lately. There is NO POINT in unlocks if every man and his dog are going to have G36C's G36E's DAO-12s and all that ****. I only like 3 out of all the unlocks in total, and I mostly choose to be engineer and use weapons most people dont because I dont want to be like everyone else I dont want to be classed as a spec op whore or any of that ****.

Seeing as you cant choose your apearance or exact weapons you want, everyone looks the same and it ****es me right off.

Point is, yes pay for 10 or so more unlocks but you should still have to earn them. I would pay maybe up to £50 just for some guns I knew that were decent and I knew not many people would have.



And the AK-47 would rape the G36E any day. I would rather unlock that or the M11-87 than have to have all the **** everyone else has.

I think there should be slight mixups, like smgs and shotguns for engineers and ATs and change between both assault rifles for medics and assaults, and also be able to choose if you want to use other army's weapons or not.

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

I think paying for some extra unlocks insted of working for them, is just the same as working for unlocks. Because your working or earning your money, most likey for working for it.

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

I just used my wife & kidz E-Mail to make 5 accounts (did this in the begining because the points-for-unlocks was so high) & I have different unlock combos on each account, depends on my mood & Map as to which account I play, why pay when another E-mail account is FREE.

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

One a side note, computer gaming has never been a cheap hobby. Even in the days of the Voodoo 2 cards and when dynamic lighting came out. People drop about 200-300 dollars worth of RAM in their comp and a 300 dollar graphic card, what's 5 or 10 bucks considering how many hours most people play?

Computer gaming may not be cheap considering the amount of customization people do with their computers, but traditionally we were treated like PEOPLE, not statistics. Free content and patches are slowly dwindling away, and quite honestly it's ruining an industry that once was known for treating it's customers well. The Battlefield series is a prime example of this. Yeah, there were expansion packs in 1942, but there was also a plethora of free content in the patchs. Now what do we have in Battlefield 2? Focus on people who pay more, allowing them to use weapons that simply aren't available to other people unless they submit to this silly practice.

Quite honestly, ideas like this are uncalled for, and are what are going to ultimately make the gaming industry only affordable by the rich. Paying for unlocks in an FPS is an absurd idea. If you have to pay money to get these unlocks and have that bad of a need for them, I think you need to re-evaluate why you're playing games in the first place.

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

And here come the forum psychologists...J/K

Seriously, there is no reason to say this is uncalled for. It's just an idea and nobody is suggesting that you MUST pay to get weapons rather that it could possibly be an alternative. By his idea, you could still go the "old" route and play the game long enough to get your weapons and nobody would be forcing you to pay for anything. I fail to see how this would lead to making the gaming industry affordable only to the rich or anything remotely like that.

"If you have to pay money to get these unlocks and have that bad of a need for them, I think you need to re-evaluate why you're playing games in the first place."

You pay money to get enjoyment out of a virtual world, what's the difference? Nobody said that anybody is in NEED of anything but paying the equivalent of a McDonald's value meal for a few new items as an ALTERNATIVE is not that big of a deal to me. I don't need to re-evaluate why I play games, I simply may like something new and may not have the time to earn 50,000 points in this lifetime. I have a son that occupies just a little bit more of my time than a video game but that doesn't mean that I have any less right to enjoy a game as someone who lives with mom and plays 12 hours a day. I may just want something new. Doesn't everybody like something new from time to time? If not, we could all still be playin BF1942 and there would have been no need for BF2.

It doesn't seem like that bad of an idea to me. :)

Re: Purchasing a limited number of unlocks?

It wouldn't be fair, but the current system isn't fair either. Idiots exploit and point farm all the time. I wouldn't want to play $10 for a lousy 2 unlocks. If we go down this road, very soon games like BF2 will cost hundreds of dollars with all parts working...
