Unlocked weapons

[Armitage]

I think most people agree that the extra weapons you get in the game increase variety rather than increase killing power and we have all played along side or against most of them on the odd Sunday when they get unlocked.

So the question I am posing is should they be unlocked as standard, I realise some people have never played on a ranked server. but to get your first 2 weapons you only need 800 points. so get your arses on a ranked server now, so you too can enjoy the under powered L-85 or the inaccurate G36c


I must say the M95 is miles better than the Type 85 or the SVD but equal to the M24, so it's more of an equaliser

For people who like ranking, check this site: http://www.bf2s.com/player/ and add your ranking account name of BF2.

It shows you what you have to do to get badges and medals. Also what you need for your next rank.

Quit handy if I may say so.

yes to unlocks!



I got my m95 unlocked and I may yet manage to get the medic weapon everyone seems to love. It'd be nice to be able to play with them free-range before having to decide what those ranked server hours go towards (there are a few nice ranked servers out there now

I originally said that I thought having unlocks on the DMW Server was a BAD thing. That was because I felt that it would encourage people to play on other (ranked) servers and gawd knows we need every player we can get.

If it is only 800 points for two unlocks then that's not so bad.

Can anyone please tell me how the unlocks work and the points level - or where I can see what you need to do to get them and I'll have a go.

the points are just the score you have at the end of a round. so you can score from 100+ on a good round

[Penfold]

ok, but where do I go to see what points you need for what?

I thought you meant general unlocks, anyone can use any gun no matter how many points they've notched up? So far I only unlocked the m95...

I love the medic weapon, its a great med/long range s/s sniper weapon that can go fully auto for close up

ATer's will love the new 12 shot fully auto firing shotgun, crap range but better than the US/China stock weapon.

The MG is norms weapon of choice, better stopping power, more accurate, sounds scarey but has only 100 rnds.

G3 - assault rifle, more stopping power, more accurate, 20 shot mag and no grenade launcher

M95 - The powerfullest (sp) weapon in the game. Can kill pilots/drivers in helis,trucks etc, but only 5 shot mag.

Engineer - Jackhammer, similar to the ATers gun, fully auto 7 shot bludgeon, just be careful you shoot your load into your enemy's face otherwise your toast (that was for Benny!  :ph34r:

G36c - Special forces, I've never tried it, but supposedly slightly more powerful, more accurate than stock. Lots of players swear by them.

Most of these upgrades (sic) have advantages and disadvantages over their standard counterparts, except perhaps the engineers weapon. I'm all for unlocks on our server, variety is nice

[Armitage]

you can pick what ever weapon you like. 1st at 500 points 2nd at 800

[sulky_uk]

how do you pick... i got a message saying i'd been promoted and gained an unlock but???

Next time you go into the game, you'll be taken to the weapons unlock page and you can choose.

Mono know this more precisely, but I think you can settle for the BFHQ menu, no need to restart.

[Armitage]

So do we have any objections

If not i'll switch them on and see how it goes.

I don't mind doing that - but isn't there something about being banned from EA's ingame browser?

[Armitage]

I'm talking about allowing people to use weapons they have unlocked. not hacking the server
