Unlocks

[ReaperOfsouls]

Are they going to have unlocks? Man I cant wait till E3.

[NiSsE]

Maybe acctualy don't think soo :( in the PC gamer thay said something about modefing your equipment. Soo think they will raplace unlocks soo that you can maybe get better ammo or better scope for your sniper or something. we yust have too wait too after E3 and we will see :D

[ReaperOfsouls]

I think Upgrading weapons would be cool.

[NiSsE]

Me too but i hope they keep the unlock stuff too :p

[CannonFodder]

what if they had upgrades and unlocks.?

[NiSsE]

well it would be cool :eek:

[Free_Work]

Yeah sounds pretty cool to have unlock and upgrades, but i doubt both will be implemented.

I like the idea of upgrades better than unlocks. Keeping one gun would be much easier for me at least. I've found it hard to get good at one single gun, cause I need each of them for different situations. But if I had just one gun, and I could change the things it can do... That would be nice.

[ReaperOfsouls]

Now That i think of it, I think they will have both!

The Reason I think they will have both is becasue There are so many ranks now that you can get all weapons before you get highest rank. So I think they will have 2 sets of unlocks plus upgrades. So you will have to be wise in what you do, wither get new weapons, or upgrade the ones you have. Or unlock a weapon and upgrade it.

I hope that do it that way.

You think the weapons are going to carry over from BF2 to 2142? Or are you saying they will make so many choices available in the new game that you could never get them all and have to choose a path? Cause I like that idea a lot.

I'd love to make one really badass gun with all the upgrades, rather then having 16 different weapons to choose from. Gives it a little RPG feel to it. Hehe , I'm a level 17 Recon Soldier.

No I mean it will be a new set of unlocks and upgrades. So like you have to get the higest rank to ahve everything unlocked. So basically instead of like 22 unlocks(That would be one for each rank) they would have 14 like now, then 8 upgrades. Or 7 unlocks and 15 upgrades. That would be even better. This way you can beef up the kit you like and have an unlock for it.

22 Ranks? Is that how many there really are? So you think we're all going to start off as BF2142 Privates, and work our way up? Or would they carry over, and people with prior BF2 stats just get immediate unlocks? That might suck a little bit, these Colonels running around with uber-weapons on the day of release...

[ReaperOfsouls]

Right now in the current ranking system there are 22 avalible ranks.

Hell no I dont think ranks will carry over lol. If they do It will be hard for Ea to attract new players. But with EA you never know. Im hopeing they start from scratch so that I can get rid of my dam clan tags lol.

[Ownerofall]

i already did, just got rid of my tds bf2 account and made a new one

[tw1g]

I don't see unlocks AND upgrades as such a good idea. If you were to unlock an uber weopon and pimp the **** out of it that would mean they would be a killing machine. Also starting from the bottom with everyone sounds good.

In that case they should make the upgrades for the stock guns and leave the unlockable guns like they are, otherwise there would be mass whoring of the guns.

And finally i think they should redo the accounts, and everyone starts at the bottom, otherwise some people would already get the upgrades and unlocks from the start which wouldnt be fair to those who havent got any stats

i say for each promotion, you get 2 points for unlocks/upgrades. An unlock costs 1 point and a gun costs 2, and at certain ranks you make more upgrades available, so that you cant get a totally awesome crazy gun until you are say 10,00 points into the game.

not a bad idea :)

[Ownerofall]

make it 20000 pts in :)

[NiSsE]

nah 20000 pts is too much maybe 15000 then, but i am happy if they yust make it good and soo it works :p

[WarGimp]

They've mentioned that the classes are going to be more RPGish. As in your earn your way into specific classes while you play general ones. Not sure if each class/subclass will have specific weapons and/or unlocks or not.

Sounds like they're making some core changes that should be perty interesting.

[NiSsE]

aslong as it work and have no bugs or something i am happy :D

[Free_Work]

ditto

It should be intresting to see how it turns out.

I see a lot of potential in adding some RPG-ish features to the game. Just the grass roots stuff of the RPG world, the stuff that keeps people hooked on it - Character Growth.

That's why the rankings, medals, and badges system is such a big hit, because you can see how far you've come. They should take it just 1 step further, and I'll never have to buy another game ever again...

Lol. Im getting board of bf2. I wish they had more unlocks or something. I got every single unlock every single b adge, most of the vetern badges and 7 diffrent medals with my 8th close behind. The medals and such take to long to get. Plus when I first started out if was more rewarding for me to get a new gun rather than a badge.

Im not saying the badges arent cool becasue they are. Its just You cant kill people with a badge you can with a new gun. I hope they focus on more unlocks or upgrades or something.

I'm getting bored with BF2 as well. I just got 2 more expert badges yesterday. You can only kill people so many different ways before you want to try something new, or at least see it pay off a little faster...

Only 23,000 more kills to my next rank.... Weeeee.... :rolleyes:

I usally play on 20 man servers and can pull off 120 points around with special forces. So I can rank up fast, if I had the time. I got school and work. I cant get to many expertbadges casue I only play with one kit, spec ops. I got like 520 hours total and 300 with spec ops.

[Smeg]

I just play because its a cool game. I never work just to get an unlockable. It is cool when you get one tho.

I did work for unlocks in the beginning but it's boring now whit all stupid patches soo i have quited bf2 for now

[PsYcHo.KiLLa]

They should make every single kit's basic guns totally customizable, as in you can choose what scope/sight you want, or what type of barrel. Then, upgrades to your gun could come as you gain points, not ranks. I mean gun upgrades as in stabilizers, ammo capacity (for some guns), and other stuff. Then, as you gain ranks, that is when you should get new gun choices.

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya I feel you on that one. Maybe the way they will do it (although I doubt it) is to give you upgraedes every 2,000 points, and you get unlocks at each rank. that would be cool. That way you can still earn stuff related to weapons without needing to get 20,000 points.

[NiSsE]

If they keep the Medal awarding system i hope that you can use the medals for something they where totaly use less. Well when higher rank you needed them too advance but they shoud add something more that you need them too.

[Splinter]

In MOH:Airbone (coming soon) theres like over 160 differnet upgrades for your weapons, so HOPEFULLY EA will use this with Bf2142 as well

Ya they had a ranking system MOAPA and that turned out to be ****. So I dont think thats going to happen.

Its so funny, the original moh, medal of honor allied assult has 6 times as many servers as the newist insallment in the series, MOHPA(Passicific Assult).

[ReDStaR]

lol, MoHAA was my first fps :)

[ReaperOfsouls]

lol, MoHAA was my first fps :)

Same here it owned. They killed that series on the pc with Pacific Assult though. If they release this new one on PC they are going to have to reach for a new audience casue I know the community does not trust them after pacific assult.

[PsYcHo.KiLLa]

My first FPS was either Delta Force 1 or The first Rainbow Six installment. I can't remember...

[NiSsE]

My First FPS was also MOH:AA. still have it installed :p

That would be pretty sweet. But that would be alot to put into a game that revolves around everything.lol Those mech games for ps2 do a good job of that for the mechs, but this game just seems to big for that.

[PsYcHo.KiLLa]

Actually, it doesn't take much to make customizable parts, but making a lot of them would take some time. I would rather have the game be delayed for a few months and have totally customizable guns over not having any at all. Oh well, I'm just dreaming... :)

[ReaperOfsouls]

I think if they take there time (ya right) they can pull it off.

[IHateYou]

The only thing they'll be taking their time on, is counting the huge stacks of money they've made off the BF franchise...

Lol ya. I am really wondering about the stats though. I dont want them to carry over casue I want to take these noob clan tags off from the noob clan I was in.

[Miniman]

wow a customisable kit!

apparantly, with the number of items you can get, there are 1500 kit combinations!

[madness]

this game sounds amzing, 1,500 kit combo's i think you will have more time customizing then actually playing lol.

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya it should be good. I bet though you can only swap weapong mods between same sub classes of a main class which is fine with me.

[ReDStaR]

like a sniper scope on a spec forces AR :)?

[ReaperOfsouls]

No but a silencer for a sniper and sepc op if my idea of how they are going to interchange weapon mods holds up.

[Smeg]

They should let you add a ton of stuff to every gun, but have it slow you down. You would be mini mech!

Ok maybe not such a good idea...

[PsYcHo.KiLLa]

If you could add parts, change their colors, specifiy where you want them... Too bad!

[[FLOT] Ghost_Op]

I think that you should get 2 points at each promotion that you can use on either an upgrade or an unlock...I think this would be a good idea since it would make the decisions harder, encouraging you to keep playing because you now desperately realize you should have gotten the nuclear sniper rifle as opposed to that silencer.

[77th|Christensen]

Heh. ya that would be friggin sweet. Take on of those awesome weapons, buy a scope and silencer, along with a larger clip, and boy. That'd be awesome.

[ReaperOfsouls]

Everything still will be kept in balance according to EA. So if they do let you have bigger mags they prolly wil make gun less accurate on full auto.

[77th|Christensen]

Actually, I don't even know if they are going to allow you to increase mag size. I was just making an un-educated guess. I do know that they are going to let you buy silencers and scopes.

[Steakslim]

I could dig a silencer during a nice quiet hour of sniping.

[Curtis12]

there is like 40 unlocks now, said in an interview and theres a new drag and drop feature which looks sweet

ummm... Ive been playing this game since it came out in july, and I dont like the unlocks in BF2. They discourage teamplay. Most people only care about getting that next unlock rather then winning or teamwork. BUt im just saying just because people dont like unlocks doesnt automatically make them newbs.

Though the way they are doing it in 2142 is interesting and Ill defienently check it out.

[BurningMonkeyFur]

Hmmm...I would prolly have a selection of this, or something like it anyway. PKM+Scope+Silencer

No, but if you look at the screenshots without any knowledge you will notice that it is the biggest and meanest gun ;)
