From the EA website...
We recognize that this has been a very trying time for everyone who enjoys Battlefield 2 and are putting forth every effort to improve upon the issues that are causing some players frustration. The DICE team has been reviewing player feedback gathered from forums, email, and the ranker server providers in an effort to provide the best possible step forward from 1.3. While this work has been highly focused on bug fixing the team has also managed to put some work towards new content.
Some groups have noticed the testing of a new map "Road to Jalalabad" being run on our test servers. This map will be included in our next patch release and is not part of a new booster pack. Some of the items on the change list for this next step are:
• Reversion: Allowing unlocks on unranked servers
• Fix/Reversion: We fixed the issue preventing mod teams from running multiple game modes in one map list.
• Tuning: We have lowered the number of players needed to start a ranked game.
• Tuning: We have made some modifications to the vehicle drop feature introduced in 1.3. These changes should reduce the overall impact of "cartillery" on game play.
• Crash Fix: We have located and fixed a crash connected to 1.3.
These are only a small portion of the fixes being worked on for our next step. We would also like to announce that we will be holding an Open Beta in early July for this next patch. We will have public servers hosted, Beta files available on mirror sites, and specific threads for feedback during this Beta period hosted on the EA forums.
As always keep your eyes on this space for all the latest Battlefield News.

If it means earning unlocks on unranked servers then :thumbsup:
If it means allowing use of unlocks on unranked servers then :ranting:
My natural pessimism reckons it means the latter, in which case BF2 will end up on the dusty shelf until such time as I can be TANGO'd to put myself through the tedium of grinding on a ranked server.
Which, if I'm not mistaken, will be around the same time as Satan takes up snowboarding...

Satan Surfs he doesn't snowboard.. :devil:
now if they would allow what TG used to have on their servers to be an option...
(unlocks all freely available to everyone, no matter what your rank)
...then I would be happier about that prospect. As it is I still get to pick the sniper rifle and the medics gun so am pretty much sorted anyway :)

Sorry about the size of the images :-(
Map looks like it isn't done yet (lightning) but the layout looks very nice 8)
OutOfSync (or if someone else knows) do you know when 1.4 is expected to be released?
