BF2S Forums Northern Strike Unlocks

Maybe we'll just get additional add-ons to the existing weapons.  Here's some examples I had in mind.

Sniper Tree/Zeller: Advanced incendiary rounds upgrade allows instant-kill with any chest, torso, or headshot.  Revival is not possible due to the massive trauma involved (think Rorsch-28 kind of damage)

Spec Ops/Lambert Carbine: Silencer attachment adds additional accuracy and stealth options, however decreases overall damage potential.

Assault/Baur: Heavy-assault upgrade allows 30 round clip for Baur H-AR.  Imagine the whorage this would create.
Assault/Voss: Gun of a thousand-and-one scopes gets a new one: X-ray scope to see through thin walls and automatically detect stealth.

...and so on...because I'm LAZY.

Karma to whoevers' guesses match the ones actually in the game.

How about not.  The first one is by far the worst idea I've ever heard.

I second that, the whole oneshot kill thing is stupid, yes it's realistic but it makes it pretty unfair if everytime you run around you just drop dead, everyone would be sniper and it would make the game a whole lot less fun. And the trama thing, why? Allowing revives just means you can either kill them again or kill the medic or both. The 30 round clip for the Baur would be nice though.

Nothing I hate more than blasting a guy with A Baur H-AR twice in the face only to have him rise up like a fucking zombie and kill me with a well-placed grenade (typically by that time I'm reloading after two, three, sometimes four kills with one clip.)  As for the one-shot-kill thing, yeah, we'd just create an AWP-fest...and then battlefield would become as broken as Counter-strike.  The other ideas aren't so bad.

Hrm...I've had some time to think up a couple more upgrades for current weaponry.

Engineer: Pilum MAC upgrade (magnetic accelerator cannon): Pushes the envelope of hypersonic anti-tank rounds, can travel faster than a standard pilum round for longer-range targets.  Only downside (balance issue) is that it must carry a lighter warhead to use.

SAAW-86 Gains the ability...to lock on to Transport gunships.  That's all I want, plz.

blah...support doesn't really *need* anything at present.  Too lazy to think up new weapon upgrades that wouldn't completely break the game completely and make everyone a shuko/bianchi/ganz whore.

I would personally love to see a small (see: 5 bullets) clip upgrade for the Baur, to bring it up to a 25 round clip. A 30 round clip and you now have yourself a very overpowered gun, which EA will in turn nerf.

The silencer idea for the lambert sounds good, too.

Secondary fire for Zeller, for example. Instead uf bullets it fires some kind of eletronic "tags". You hit a vehicle with it and it sticks and transmits the position to your squad (makes it visible on the minimap). Doesnt do any damage ofcourse, but makes a sniper a awsome teamplayer. Can be removed by a engy ofcourse.

That is actually a great idea!

Now if only the teamleader would be able to 'spot' that vehicle, and tell the squad to attack it.

It would be something like the spotters i have seen in Tribes. They where light, fast, and had the ability to mark a target. Heavy gunners would then see a measuring line in the sky, wich they could use to fire at a target that they couldn't see.
That was some team play, for the one to use his weapon he needed someone else.

silenced pistol would be a good guess seeing as it was in bf2. perhaps a general silencer for recon.

I think I speak for everyone when I say "EA you goddamn ripoff artists why didn't you make it a fu****ng free patch?"

Just yourself and about a 1/4 of the BF2142 players.

1. cheerleaders
2. TV
3. carrots
4. windows ice age 2142
5. a bottle of yogurt
6. an oversized clock
7. a dinner plate
8. a keyboard
9. ipod
10. a vaccum cleaner

how bout some kind of gadget for recon class that makes it undetectable for UAVs and Sat scans.
Than it could actualy be posible to be stealthy.

To bad DICE people are not as imaginative as us
Unlocks will probably be crap.

I'd love to see a grenade launcher, just like the rockets were you can set the distance it explodes at.

1) It's called wall hacks.

2) Spelling

3) Want a gun in Resistance*? Play that instead.

4) Spelling

5) Active camo DOES let you blend into the environment you fucking idiot.

6) Shotgun attachment for a shotgun? Are you a fucking retard**? That's just ammo!


*=It's how it's spelt
**=Yes, you are.

likely unlocks : 1. c-8, more powerful than the old c-7, c-8 has more explosives in it, at the expense of being a lot larger, and needign reinfoced armour to carry. (i.e. you have to be wearing heavy armour, and the RDX is easy as hell t see. say, larger than the soldier?)
2. zellar-HA- simialr to the Zellar-H sniper rifle, the Zellar-HA is a more advanced version that has improvements llwing a alrgr clipand incorporating an IT-33 active camo machanism for added caqmoflage.
3. IT-34 active camo- an improvement on the IT-33 active camo system, the IT-34 atcive camo cannot be detected by the netbat system of enemy soldeirs, and has been miniturised,allowing it to be used in cfonjunction with a weapon. automatically upgrades the Zellar-HA's active camo.

you get the idea. small tinderign with existing unlocks,a dn callign them new unlocks, wiht similar names.

spell check is not your friend

ok, so i soemtimes have minor spelluigne rrors, you can read it right? at least it's not netspeak.

That's right! It isn't netspeak, but: Y0|_|R 571LL @ |\|00|3
And netspeak powns you, because It's supposed to be unreadable/retarded.

As for the silencer on the Lambert making it more accurate: Do some research. This is real life, and silencers make it LESS accurate.

ALSO: They won't upgrade any weapons. Period. If they do, it'll be unfair. They're coming out with NEW unlocks, so they'll actually be worth unlocking.

Weapon upgrades as unlocks=BF2
