You need the special forces expansion pack.

OK, but this happened on Mashtur City, is it possible people who have SF to use stuff from it, when they play against people like me who don't have it yet?

I experienced the same on Sharqi when iI suddenly got flashed on the MEC Heli deck.But there was no enemy near by.I already have SF expansion Pack and it´s not possible to use flashbang on non SF maps.So this must be some kind of bug!

These Flash Bangs are actually an unlock in the Assault category. You need to unlock G3 and I think the F2000 to get it, or maybe it's the just the G3, yes it's an actual unlock for a weapon, and a mighty good weapon, its funny when someone uses it on your team and you see units running into walls, and they run and knife kill the whole squad -- but it does suck when it's used on you. Too bad they didn't add the gas gun the support uses, it lasts longer and very trippy.

from what ive read its like this:
you need the unlock in the original BF2 class to get the SF unlock for the same class there. then you can use those unlocks in normal BF2.
also th patch is so big cause all tose weapons are also in the patch, it had to be since you are able to pick up those kits from fallen SF owners

just bought it today and i barely can wait to get home

i think it is very unfair to the people w/o SF (including me)
i was beeing shot yesterday and i didn't even hear a gun it just was eating my health.
EA is just pushing us to buy SF

sorry, but im confused. I dont have SF, so will I be able to select a SF unlock (ie. flashbang) for my next unlock for just vanilla bf2?

I think that you have to get SF to get the unlocks because it installs all the new stuff, not sure though, I would think the new patch might fix this for some of the people who don't have SF, I think that is what the patch if for, any confirmation?

as far as i know you cant unlock the new weapons from SF in the normal BF2.

and we all (should) know that EA is very good in marketing strategies and sure they wanna get the owners of the original game to get the new stuff 2 by showing what they miss.
i cant blame them even if i want to and i bought it today anyway

You will have to buy the Special Forces expansion to be able to unlock the SF weapons. Once you do you will be able to use it in both the original and of course in the expansion game.

I just wish that tear gas was included, but then the normal BF2ers would be at a severe disadvantage as they don't have gas masks.

I can't wait to use flash bangs in Karkand so I can have some easy prey to gain my Expert Knife Badge.

You guys should really think of getting SF, as it adds a whole new level of gameplay possibilties with the grappling hook and ziplines.  Once someone attaches one of those devices everyone can use them!  Last night an enemy was trying to climb by grappling hook line I pressed G to pick up my gear and he fell a few stories to his death! HAHA! GOLD!  Another awesome instance was when I shot out a zipline with my sniper rifle and two guys fell to their death. Placing claymores at the end of a zipline is a nasty little surprise too!

Yeah, too bad they dont' have grappling hooks for a unlock for original BF2, like they do for flash bang. We already have Flash Bang parades out there and complaints already, big ole blind fest. Right now would be the perfect time to get the Bang, no one has it hardly.

Today i was tottaly owned by F2000, G36E, MG36, etc. and i thought; let's start a new acount and unlock the MG36 when i have 500 points (lance corporal). I worked on it for 3 or so hours and then i discovered that i could only unlock the normal BF2 unlocks (to bad man ) It just sucks, now i'm going to get the SF expansion tomorrow so i can own them myself

Like I said before : it's not the unlocks, it's the person using it.  You can unlock grandma's walker to subsidize her cane, but that isn't going to make her legs feel any better.

I unlocked the F2000 but not the G3 and I have flashbangs in bf2.

voodoochild you can't unlock F2000 before you have G3 unlocked. Sounds kinda strange that you have F2000 but not G3. And this SF weapons in BF2 suck so much and it's undair for those who don't have SF. Damn EA just want more money, I hate EA !

Correct, unless you found something! You can't unlock the F2000 before G3, it didn't give me the option until I unlocked the G3, I went through all of them drooling and didn't see the F2000 until. Damn I wish I would've got the Flashers instead of the Spec Ops, that gun is the same as the original and Medic.

I havent the flashbangs yet but i picked it up of a fallen comrade and used it on a sqaud passing by, they all started to run around like headless chickens as i pulled my knife out and knifed the whole sqaud . They all were like WTF just happend!? What was that? Was it a bug or what? Why oh why didn't i unlock the F2000 and flashbangs.

The Flashbangs can be unlocked even tho you don't have the F2000 I believe, as I was scrolling I did see that as one of the unlocks. But was stupid and did the Spec Ops.. Me + New Game + drooling over new guns = dumba$$  ---  try them in single player before you decide, can't go wrong with flashbangs, everyone will want to be in your squad, biggest stat pad if you ask me, but hey it sucks getting flamed by them but it's the best when you use them! Ironic.
