So I pre-order Northern Strike, and just like I had heard you can permanently unlock the new equipment.  I use my 4 available unlock points, acquiring some nifty stuff...

...I sign on today only to find out they took them back!  I now, once again, have 4 unlock points, but cannot unlock the NS equipment any longer...I'm not that angry but what gives? certainly not EA/DICE!

As far as i know you need to wait until they release NS then you need the ribbons/badges ( the new ones ) to get an unlock credit.

I had unlocked the boots and the mine bait and recently lost them as well.

Well that was fun while it lasted. Seems stupid that they wouldn't notice you could unlock the NS unlocks with regular credits before NS was released.

So thats what those 4 free unlocks were. Hmmmmm

Now how about this: None of my awards or games played have been counted all day. In my BFHQ my last game played is listed as yesterday. I've played a bunch today and so far have received 3 different awards in game but never get the points or the award itself in the HQ.

Happens all the time...give it a day and your stats should update.  If not, then that blows.

yeah I lost my grenade unlock yesterday but I didn't notice it until later on last night.  I got my heal badge and was awarded a free unlock without getting promoted.  So I unlock the SAAW to gain access to the expansion clips in NS then I find out when I go to use squad field unlock I can't get the boots.  I had to unlock the grenades again.  Luckily I got promoted last night so I have my grenades back permanently as I unlocked those about the 10th unlock.

My heal badge does not show in BFHQ, oh well guess I'll just have to do it again.

I ended up with -4 bonuspoints. Hows that for motivation!

I interpreted that as though you actually needed to have NS installed instead of simply purchased.

still get the new unlocks in game tho (field upgrades i mean), and thats a great way of trying out what ones you want to unlock permanently when the time comes.

As being a tester for the NS booster pack i know they have just taken off all of our unlocks that we gained while testing. If you used a ranking up unlock on an NS unlock you 'should' get these back. But you will not ba able to get the NS unlocks until it is released on the 3rd March. Dont panic they arent that hard to get time/points that you require for the NS unlocks, i thin kyou need a total of 5 hours to get them all. personally i didnt get them all as i didnt spend enough time in NS items that is required. But you will enjoy the new maps!

Preload in a few hours time. Next week is play time.

They took the unlocks away to HELP others who had a negative unlock credit and couldn't unlock anything. So how about not thinking about yourselves for once. I give full respect to EA who have done this, to HELP others. Something that lacks everywhere.

I started up my game today, and i noticed all my unlocks where locked and i had  lot of bonuspoints so i guess you right.
Nice, because i had unlocked some items that didn't work for me. I started fresh with the knowledge i gained, so i now have a more effiecient set of unlocks.
