Re: BF2Files Interviews Forgotten Hope 2

• How WILL the unlock system work?
We are not interested in having point-based weapon unlocks, both because we don't want to disadvantage players for being new to the mod, and also because different armies do not all have multiple alternatives for every weapon type, especially without placing weapons on maps that happened before those weapons were ever used. We definitely want to avoid this kind of anachronism.

Erm I'm surprised that BF2files didn't know this but I'm more surprised at the answer. Mods can not have unlocks because EA deliberately locked that out for mod teams there's also no feasible workaround.

I've no idea why they gave the answer they did.

Since they asked the question, we wanted to make it clear that we were not interested in using this feature whether it were possible or not, even if, in the future, some modder discovers a workaround or EA patches the game to change the restriction.

I thought this possibility would be opened up again with 1.4?

No, the only thing there bringing back for mods in 1.4 is the ability to run multiple game modes in a map rotation and allowing you to run the ABR client for ranking. They wont allow mods to use unlocks because it gives them to much of an advantage.

Yawn....

Everyone thinks FH2 is the best thing ever, and it probably will be if your into WWII style fighting.

I think unlocks is the worst idea team ever developed. Just put lots of pick up kits around, never mind unlocks. Its enough to make ytou throw your monitor out a window, lol.

I like seeing progress, but I am going to avoid this section till I see "Its ready, come download it".
