BF2S Forums Saving an unlock for the expansion?

Not sure if there will be new unlocks, but I am saving my last unlock just in case I decide to get the expansion.  If there is, I bet foos who decided to unlock all weapons like it's Christmas might have some type of regret, lol.

if anything i bet they will add all of the officer ranks and condense it again (IE 2nd lt 75k 1st lt 100k ect..) to allow players to get the new unlocks...

stupid to have stuff unaccessable to the mass of players.

True, but EA are not just releasing it for us, there using something new and flashy to attract even more players.  So hopefully they will have accessable things, but when you think about it, there most probably will be a large increase in the number who play.

Oh man, getting an unlock on 75 and 100k? That will take freaking ages! I aint got that long man =/ .
Also I heard there arent that many vehicles in the expansion, this could either suck or pwn..
If there are like no vehicles youll have to play BF2 if you whant to fly and youll have to play BF2expansion if you whant to use the super kuwaii shit like nightvision (omg).

There's the possibilities to use all the current vechiles, plus all the new vechiles. On installation, you need to specify where the origional BF2 is located, so the expansion can re-use stuff from the main game. (sounds, vechiles etc.)

It shouldn't be less, it should be extra to what we have already.

I am pretty sure that it would be the same game since it's an expansion pack.  Just like the Secret Weapons expansion for BF1942 (which made a nice coaster, lol).  Not sure about unlocks, but I definitely do not want my last available unlock.

edit:  Dammit, I accidently selected my last unlock...oh well

Can't access any of those sites from work.  So what is the release date in Australia?
I can't wait, bring on night missions.

It says Nov. 28, 2005

I think you will have to register a new and seperate nickname to play Special Forces. It just makes sense that way.

I'm having trouble reading that. But from what I can gather I will respond.

- Officer ranks: they were promised these before BF2 came out. Remember they said you could be a General?
- SF's being Officers: it's a game, who cares?
- Special Forces isn't a new game. It is an Expansion that changes gameplay. Gameplay, as in how you play the game.
- Unlocks: with new weapons both standard (base) and unlockable it wouldn't make much sense to have the same account. EA needs to make money out of this, money. To do that it would be smart to have a seperate account for BF2 and a seperate account for BF2: SF. It means the game would get played more.

Perhaps there will be new maps which will be played in Special Forces mode, and the old ones will be played in conquest mode.

This is interesting.

-----------

IGNPC: Are you planning any big changes to the classes or will they also pretty much remain the same aside from some new equipment?

AJ: We've decided to leave the classes alone, but your going to find that what we've added does change things up a bit. It's something we joke about now when we talk about making the player feel like a super soldier. We'll go ahead and test Special Forces and then go back and play BF2 for our own enjoyment and we're suddenly saying "damn I don't have that!" or "damn I can't do this!" and we miss those abilities that are in Special Forces.

Although we haven't really tweaked the classes at all, by adding in the new elements like the grappling hook and zip line that David mentioned, now the classes that carry these items play a little differently. They have a bit more versatility to them. So now you really want to have these guys as part of your squad. And the squad becomes more powerful as a whole now.

Yee: There's some additional equipment that makes those support classes a bit different. There's the flash-bang and the tear gas grenades. Those two really do change the way the game plays when it comes to infantry.


--------

IGNPC: OK, how many new vehicles and such will be included, then?

Yee: So the new bread and butter features for the expansion pack are six new armies, ten new vehicles, and twelve new base weapons

---------

12 new weapons? The Zipline + Grappling Hook, night vision, flashbang and tear gas grenade have already been mentioned. Also mentioned is this:

IGNPC: What's with the equipment for each? New stuff or repurposed stuff?

AJ: The insurgents will be based mostly around the Russian weapons since that's more accurate. The Americans we're adding a new FNScar which is the new special forces assault rifle. And the SAS have a full complement of weapons too.

It would be sweet if u could use the grappeling hook and the zip line in Karkand. It's not going to happen but i would be very usefull in that map. >

or maby its just a dumb glitch ea/dice forgot to sort out...
