To get the F2000 and other such weapons do I need to go out and buy Special Forces? I want to unlock these weapons for BF2. If so, I think it's quite unfair that regular BF2 players can still use the SF style weapons in unexpansioned play.. very unfair.
 
Just get a friend to play a round of sf using your account, and you'll get the unlocks.


Or you could buy the expansion, it's not bad.
 
it's just another way for EA to suck every last cent out of you. I've stopped buying their products after BF2 and it's patches botched my install and or system 3 times and then offer up an "expansion pack" for another $20 and letting the user's who bought it play on the same servers as users who didn't. This is quite unfair as some of the weapons are a good deal better (at least according to a friend...I didn't buy it...nor will I...any pack for BF2 OR the new BF2142).

I used to like EA. They had good stuff. Great sports games, good racing games...but anymore they're just a shit factory pumping out buggy software and expecting users to be ok with a few dozen patches within the first year of release.

oh yeah...and /rant
 
how is it unfair? most of the unlocks arent as good as the basic weapons anyway, if you suck your gonna suck with the unlocks plain and simple.
 
Special forces sniper rifle is substantially better than the upgrade and basic for BF2.

Same applies for the assault kit, most especially the AA kit.

Just goes to show you that life isn't fair.

So remember to check your enemies gear before you leave! :D

Which sniper rifle? L96? M95? All rifles have their advantages/disadvantages. It boils down to opinion and preference.

Opinion. Oh, and there is no such thing as an AA kit.

Good tip!
 
The L96A1 is apt to become the most beloved sniper rifle in the assortment. While EA/DICE tries to sell their expansions as balanced with the original game, this gun is clearly a cut above the rest. Take together the best of the M24 and M95 and you’ll end up with the L96A1. It has the same firepower as the M24 and M95, these rifles will reduce the health with 95% of a full health soldier in a single shot. On top of that, the L96A1 is together with the M24 the most accurate weapon in the game. But it overpowers the M24 because of its load time which is equal to the M95.

The only thing it can't do is shoot through glass...

Precisely the reason why many like it more than the L96. In maps where the chopper pads are located in the middle of the action the M95 becomes the standard.

It's all a matter of personal preference and circumstances.

I have a SP expansion 4 sale.


Well, I have to agree and disagree with you guys. Outside of the medic and support unlocks, from SF expansion, I prefer the original weapons. The assault gun IS nice however I feel like it has more recoil. The medic gun has really helped out a lot. Well, I don't know if I've gotten better or this gun really has given me an advantage. I was mediocre but now I've become pretty decent. I've gotten so many more gold medals than previously. Feels like at least. I also play only in infantry maps now, hate air. Though I'm not too bad on them either.

I can't speak for snipers because I can't stand them. Playing them and vs them... grrr Claymores! AGHAGHAGHH A lot of the time you can't see them but once I see them, from a distance, Id say I get them a few more times than they get me.

That medic gun is tremendous. I'm going to try the m16/ak and see if it really is the gun.

I think it's the p90.

You can actually hit farther targets if it is the p90. Weaker but you can really hold the trigger for a ton of bullets. All is needed is one for the head.
 
Assault upgrade (G3) is one of the best close range rifles in the game. Takes about 6-10 rounds to kill someone and the G3 lets it out fairly quick. Its only disadvantages are distance and capacity, long hard its harder to hit your target than it is with other rifles but when you do, they go down pretty fast.

Medic rifle is by far one of the best as well, although low powered, with enough skill you can take anyone down by shooting by the chest up.

Support class weapons are harder to use because of its inaccuracy...but when you learn to snipe with (bah forgot the name...the upgrade after saw in original bf2) you pretty much kill in one or two shots.

I think engineer is such an underrated class...but I understand because people just don't get enough repair points for the time they spend repairing vehicles. Basic weapons for engineers (at least USMC) is really good because it usually kills in one shot and can kill multiple targets. I remember I was running through the alley to the Hotel flag in karkand and someone just launched a grenade from behind me, killing 3 guys. A medic came and revived them all and I just stepped in and killed four of them in 2 hits LOL. As for mines, with some maps unlocking mines to kill your own teammates and getting punished left and right, the only way to use them is right infront or behind the enemy :p

LOL nice.

Nothing better than seeing a medic revive ppl and then you coming in and blowing them up or spraying them and getting them all. I love doing that.

One thing I can't stand - giving up tactics - is when a medic revives you and you die immideately becasue he was just looking for the quick point and not worried about the area around him being "safe" to revive. Sometimes there is a real brawl and isntead of clearing the area the retards come in and revive you and then you both die becausse they didn't clear area. I appreciate the revive but would rather die and respawn than back to life than and die immediately.

The engineer is great if you drive tanks. You help the ppl around you and can heal urself when the coast is "clear".
 
You just listed the advantages and disadvantages of those weapons.

Are we debating or do you agree with me that certain weapons are better in one situation while still another weapon is good for a different situation?

I thought you were in the camp that said all unlocks were "unfair"...

*confused* :confused:
 
I don't think he meant unlocks. I think he meant ppl that buy expansions getting unlocks vs ppl that don't buy them and don't get the "special" unlocks.

It's biased and hurts some but I think the SF unlocks are nice... well, 2 of them at least.

DAMN I loose again! *shakes fist*

Dunno, I've really lost interest in BF2. I'm playing PoE2 strictly now which...its not really that balanced but its so much more entertaining. The fact that you can go indoors in a huge number of places is already a plus for me. Tons and tons of armor makes for fun battles and manual artillery is just insanely fun haha. Lots of goodies to do on Poe2
 
You just need someone that has the SF expansion to login to your account and play for a minute or so in a special forces server then you will get the unlocks. Say you have already unlocked 4 weapons, you will get 4 more unlocks.

PM me if you want this done. I've done it for a few people on the forums.

I will stand by saying that the L85A1 is the best assault rifle...
 
ok - I am a total bf2 n00b.. lol... but I have the full game + SF and have -only- been playing the non-SF version.. if I play the SF version now I will already have the number of unlocks on that as I do in non-SF? and I can use those weapons in regular BF2 (non-SF) play??
 
Hey guys,

I play this game at work on Friday nights with about 20 regular players on a non ranked local lan server.

Is there any way I can enable global unlocks like I could when we hacked the demo using the well known cracks on the full 1.4 server?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Dan
