Should Zipline and Grappling Hook be unlockable in vanilla BF2?
| Yes. Other SF addons are unlockable, why not? | 70% | 70% - 79 | ||||
| No. BF2 is fine the way it is, Die in a Fire. | 27% | 27% - 31 | ||||
| Other. (Please explain in thread) | 1% | 1% - 2 | ||||

I think it would add a whole new dimension to the old maps. I vote yes.
No, that would be extremely unfair to non SF owners.
Currently, non of the unlocks give a huge advantage over people that don't have unlocks. Making zip lines / grappling hooks unlockable would give a huge & distinct advantage to those that had 'em, and opens up for a whole world of whoring and stat padding.
If you want grapple in vBF2, just find a server with FF OFF and C4 your way to the top.
Well, I dont think its an unfair advantage to give AT people to get the grapler. Most people dont know how use use the AT kit effectively, and this would give them a leg up on maps where armor is very dominant (ie: Masthur and Karkand, I wont say Sharqi because plenty of roof are accesible on Sharqi. But some small maps, 16-32 player maps, could also benefit from adding to the power of the AT guy).
so offhand, I'd say that the zip/grapler is OK to put into vanilla.

I was under the assumption that this was not possible, as alot of buildings etc would need to be redone. But if it could, hell yea. That would add a whole different feel.
That would be great, I rely on those grappling hooks and zip lines so much whenever I play SF.
Thye just need SF versions of each map...
If it ever happened in a patch the next patch would take them out.
why? because too many people would complain about it changing game play
who are these people by the way? how do so many noobs have so much say and ruin our once great game?
Oh yes... I'd like a 3rd set of unlocks that was equipment only with zipline, grappling hook

But medic and engineer dont have special equipment...I'd like a 3rd set of unlocks that was equipment only with zipline, grappling hook
What is vanilla BF2?
BF2 maps are not configured to Ziplines and such, and it would not be fair to non SF ownersAnfidurl wrote:

I have a mod which does that. Karkand is a very different game with everyone zipping from roof to roof
Yes, considering the number of times I've stopped and thought "boy, I sure could use a zip line/grapplin hook right 'bout now!"...
Although I must admit that it would surely put the vanilla BF2 users at a disadvantage.. especially if u put in tear gas.. Imagine the poor fools in Karkand who forgot their gas masks...

Ziplines and grappling hooks would be kool in maps like karkand but snipers would have such a good advantage to got on high places.
Who gives a shit about fairness, if you don't have SF, it is already unfair beacause you dont get as many unlocks at a time, and the g36-e RAPES the US medic gun and also the mec one. It's already "unfair" to non-sf owners to not have the extra unlocks upon rank up. There should be grappling hooks and zip lines for SF owners. You get the guns from SF, so why not the equipment? Grappling hooks and zip lines would really improve favs. like Karkand and Mashtuur, adding a new element and making it possible for surprise attacks. Everyone knows Karkand like the back of their hand, knows where guys will be coming from, and grappling hooks n zip lines would lessen this and make it much more unpredictable.
Other because they would have too re-make all the maps to allow them too be used and know EA/Dice would mess them up

it would way unfair, cause u can use grappling hooks to get inside buildings like the hotel on karkand, i've tried it ina mod i made...so NO!
Why would they have to remake the maps...?
just give sniper in reg bf2 the grapple
I think we can all agree that BF2 doesn't need any more stuff that's going to give it bugs and the SF utilities aren't exactly perfect. Besides the maps are already set up to cater to a non-GH or ZL game. You'd be 3 days into it and find out there's a spot in Karkand or something that's unstoppable with a grappling hook and there'd have to be 3 more patchs to eliminate 'super spots'.
Although I don't REALLY want you to die in a fire if that helps.

I think its a cool idea. Grapplehook unlocks FTW.
No. The maps weren't made for these tools.
If you want to use them get SF. You will never turn back.

I think the idea is great and should be done, there are time when I look at a build and thought why have dice put that walkway up there, it must be there to be used and the only way to get there is by helicopter or friendly fire off and c4 which aint right.
It would give the game a better feel and would be more enjoyable, VOTE YES for zip line and grappling hook in all batt 2 maps.
