First unlock?

[MrBenis]

What's your first unlock going to be?

An ability? A new weapon? A new tool? A toy? :p

Important to decide now... I found myself severely disappointed at the M95 to start with, and I unlocked that for my 3rd gun. A decision I regretted at the time, I assure you.

As for me, I'll probably go for the stationary gun emplacement. An extra gun is better than a cheap replacement, IMO.

[FlamingPenguin]

idk hard question...got three for first lol....active camo, new recon weapong or C7

[Cloud9]

Well it's really hard to decide right now since we know about very few unlocks. I know I'll most likely get the shotgun add-on unlock for the assault rifle. Other than that I'll have to wait and decide. I just hope they have an unlock that is very similar to the DAO-12 in terms of damage and accuracy.Since thats my favorite BF2 weapon.

What I did with Battlefield 2 when i first bought the game on the release day was buy the Prima Strategy guide for BF2 along with the game. The guide includes all the weapons and unlocks and it shows the accuracy, damages, recoils, and deviations of all the weapons, etc. I used the strategy guide to pick my first unlocks in BF2 when It first came out and started playing it.

I looked online and Prima is coming out with a strategy guide for Bf2142 at the time of release or near it. So I'm going to get that and read about all the weapons and unlocks first before I unlock anything. The Prima guides also include info on all the vehicles, and maps with strategies. Thats how I knew not to unlock the m95 and other weak weapons starting out.

Ofcourse it all comes down to your playing style. Do you like to stay back far and shoot from a distance and take your time, do you like to engage your enemies up close, do you like to support the other soldiers and need a personal defence weapon for personal protection rather offensive weapon? I personally like to assault and attack the enemy up close and personal..I tend to favor the DAO-12...sometimes the maps are so big and wide open you have no choice but to use a rifle. So given that I'd pick a powerful short range weapon and a powerful rifle for medium to long ranges.

[FlamingPenguin]

well i did good with my unlocks...i first unlocked the l85 then the g36c and the pkm(i got em all but dont wanna make a huge post)i didn't like sniping so m95 was one of the last unlocks for me.

[Cloud9]

It will be interesting to see how we need to choose our unlocks in bf2142 since all the kits now are combined together in pairs. According to all the recent information there will be lots of combonations of unlocks and weapons with each kit. So I think It will be a lot harder to pick unlocks this go around since we have so much more room for customization within each kit.

[FlamingPenguin]

there is in total when you have all unlocks 1500 possibilities to make your own kit

[Cloud9]

I herd that too..its going to be frustrating making your own personal ultimate/most powerful kit with default and unlocks with all those possible combonations available.

[3lliot3vans]

idk hard question...got three for first lol....active camo, new recon weapong or C7
Me too :cool:

Mind Dice said that you will be able to get unlockSSSS fairly early, notice that UnlockSSSS is more than one ;)

[FlamingPenguin]

1 S would have been ok you know ;)

[menace-uk-]

Has got to be the camo 1st for me but if that aint available then the C7 or mobile AA:p

[Athanasios]

Id like to have a (very) advanced version of Sentry Pods (deployable turrets), since i like supporting the team more than grabbing a gun and jumping ahead as a lone-wolf.

[3lliot3vans]

Waaaah!! You changed my mind know menace!!! :mad: Now either camo/C-7/Mobile AA :evil: :evil: :evil:

[Alaz]

Depending on exactly how it works, probably either the sentry drone for squads or the gun emplacement for Support. Just watch me defend one of those silos with a gun emplacement and a drone mwahahha.

[Silent_Ops]

i heard u had to unlock defib so thats wat ill get since it sounds like no 1 is getting it ill b the only 1 to help ppl jk. that or camo or assault/medic unlock

GO MEDIC!!!!!!!!!!!

[FlamingPenguin]

another medic whore...but i'm not judging you....

[ReaperOfsouls]

Me too :cool:

Mind Dice said that you will be able to get unlockSSSS fairly early, notice that UnlockSSSS is more than one ;)

They also said the map number will be in the double digit adn we all took it as at least 15 but it was 10 lol.

As far as my first unlock, if you have to unlock C-7 it will be that. If not then it will be cammo.

My first abliltey unlock point I get I will use on sprint, then stamina.

[Splinter]

I dont know, I'll just wait an see what kind of unlocks there are.
I picked my unlocks in Bf2 alright, the only one I think I should have left would be the jackhammer, I've only used it 3 times in 6 months...

[Richard012345]

My first equipment unlocks will probably be from the Medic kit. It's likely they'll be the Medpack and Shock Paddles.

[FlamingPenguin]

yeah i only used the JackHammer to make my expert engineer combat badge...M P7 and M-11 87 are the ownage

[Cicchetti]

No clue if i seen all the things i can pick from i still wouldnt know till i get a feel for the game

[FlamingPenguin]

BTW for those(like me)who knows they will pick the Recon kit i got something for you....the recon kit can have the ammo ability...cool isn't it....i don't remember the video but it shows it....

[Cicchetti]

Thats sweet i think i might go with recon that or assault

[Splinter]

BTW for those(like me)who knows they will pick the Recon kit i got something for you....the recon kit can have the ammo ability...cool isn't it....i don't remember the video but it shows it....

What's the ammo ability:confused:

[kiss my RICE]

The ammo ability, is the ability that adds ammunition to the clip. Lets say that your gun has 30 rounds, equip the ammunition or clip enhancer ability, and you will have 40 or 30 + rounds, giving you an advantage. Also...abilities are available for every kit to use, once you unlock one, you unlock them for all the kits. Only equipment and toys aren't allowed to be used across kits. I probably won't take the clip enhancer myself, instead, I will take the grenade ability, or an unlock. The reason? You don't start off with frag grenades, only emp ones, and thats only if you're assault. Otherwise, no grenades, this ability will equip you with three grenades, and another ability gives you and maxes your grenades out at four grenades.:D

Please quote your source. I have not seen that mentioned anywhere..

[Cazzy]

I'll have to go with whatever unlocks are tied to my favorite class, the medic. I don't generally agree with unlocking the best weapon if it is not for a class I prefer. Whatever happens to be your favorite class I would say go with the unlock that enhances it. In BF2 I saw too many people get hyped up about the M95 because of its power and ability to shoot through glass and then realize later, oops now I have to actually play sniper!

[kiss my RICE]

Please quote your source. I have not seen that mentioned anywhere..

I belive that it in the wiki-BF2142 site thing. The article said something about how you don't start with grenades, however, the emp part I'm not so sure about...its probably a guess for the emp one. Ok, edit, I was right about the frags, no grenades, also no emp ones either...bummer...its an unlock...damit.

[DarQraven]

I think the C7 is critical to being able to fend off armored vehicles and boobytrapping strategic locations, so I will unlock that first. After that comes camo, so I can place the C7 easier. After that probably some kind of upgrade that will make my weapon more effective, be it ammo increasing, accuracy boosting, or a whole new weapon. I just found that unless you only play city maps in bf2, a super weapon isn't much use when the 6th tank in a row in coming for you again.

[Splinter]

The ammo ability, is the ability that adds ammunition to the clip. Also...abilities are available for every kit to use, once you unlock one, you unlock them for all the kits.

I've heard of these abilitys, but what I want to know is, can you unlock them all or can you only choose 1:confused:

[Cloud9]

I have a feeling that the engineer kit will be the most over-looked kit of all of them...I mean come on you can fire anti-tank missiles, repair, unlock magnetic AT mines, etc.

[Athanasios]

:cool:

[ReaperOfsouls]

I think you just choose one.

For example:

"You have earned an ability unlock point!" then you choose what you want to put it to.

[St.Sasquatch]

hmm.. i will decide when i see everything i can unlock.. its kinda hard to decide now because we dont know exactly what we can unlock..

[Dogge_Parkour]

Will probably be a gun 4 me, like the extra firepower :D

[kiss my RICE]

I think you just choose one.

For example:

"You have earned an ability unlock point!" then you choose what you want to put it to.

Not only that, but they also added a "real time" unlock into the game. An example would be that you are promoted, so unlike BF2 now, with it's long update, it will update automatically, and IN-GAME, you can spend your unlock point and use your unlock the next time that you spawn. This will be very helpful, especially since you don't have to leave the server to gain an unlock.

I know, thats has got to be one of the many things they have appoved upon that I am looking greatly foward to useing.

[okashii]

That got me thinking - how do drones and those turrets detect enemy ?
And most of all - will they detect a person using active camo :confused:

[menace-uk-]

Thats a good question will the drones and stuff detect camo:confused:

[bfdhud]

Has got to be the camo 1st for me but if that aint available then the C7 or mobile AA:p


agreed camo or C7

[DarQraven]

And will the drones be plagued by the red tag bug? :cool:
That would be uber-suckiness ... having a bot teamkill for you.
But I think they will be able to detect camo, after all you can detect camo players with the xray or heat vision or whatever that was.

[Serenity]

lol teamkilling bot.. that would so be funny :D

everyone take cover! our sentry has gone mad!

immagine u had a device that will install a virus in a sentry and that will make it kill its own team :D

[bfdhud]

The ability to "hack" the other teams equipment would be awesome.

[Serenity]

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: That's a friking amazing idea!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Elit3_Hawkins]

I am going to get a new weapon upgrade so I am not behind.

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya that would be kinda gay lol.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Ya that would be kinda gay lol.

What is UBC???

[ReaperOfsouls]

What is UBC???

What are you talking about?

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Ya that would be kinda gay lol.

In this post,... what does UBC mean??

[ReaperOfsouls]

Where do you see UBC?

[okashii]

My first unlock will be Active Camo for sure

Active Camo + knife = kiss your dog tags goodbye :P

[Elit3_Hawkins]

I mean UCB, what does that mean???

[ReaperOfsouls]

OMG lol where do you see UBC, liek quote where you see it.

[okashii]

UCB = UnCapableBase <BF2 bases with red circle, ones that cannot be taken over>

<I hope there will be some in BF2142>

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Oh thx for the awnser, reaper of souls must not be feeling ok

[ReaperOfsouls]

Well you just said UBC you did not quote where it came from lol.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Sorry I tried quoting your post which had the quote in it but it didnt work.

[okashii]

Don't worry there will be ability unlock called "correct reading of 3 letter words" :P

[ReaperOfsouls]

But ti was not in my post so it would not help.

To quote more than one person in a post or just anything at all, highlight it, copy it, make a reply, click the quote icon, before the right square bracket of the first word "QUOTE" type =(persons name) and then click post reply.

[okashii]

can you delete your previous posts about asking what ucb and ubc is - the topic would be nice and clean then thanx and sorry for being pedantic :P
<I will delete this one also>

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Why noone is really posting in this thread anymore?

[okashii]

Maybe we could make a list of known, verified unlocks on the first page

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Why what would that do??

[okashii]

so that people know what can be unlocked and anwser the topic question ?

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Okay you go ahead and do that then...

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Why did you put a 7 if it is unknown??

[okashii]

Why did you put a 7 if it is unknown??
so that people know that there is a one more unlock for that class but so far unknown

[DarQraven]

All classes: TK shield :rolleyes:

[Elit3_Hawkins]

so that people know that there is a one more unlock for that class but so far unknown

O i see it now

[Elit3_Hawkins]

All classes: TK shield :rolleyes:

are you sure??

[okashii]

All classes: TK shield :rolleyes:

can you confirm this ?

[Elit3_Hawkins]

can you confirm this ?


Thats what I wanted to know

[kiss my RICE]

I'm going to play as sniper, but slowly make my assault class better and better. I'm not a medic whore, but unless there is a karkland-like map, which I'm sure there is, I like the all-around good class. I'm going to first unlock the silencer...I hope it looks like the sniper's silencer. I do this because I want a good K/D ratio, but also "pimp" the classes that I want to play as.

[DarQraven]

Of course there isn't a tk shield (well not physical anyway, in most games it's a server option called FF off ;) ). I was just dreaming away;)

[ReaperOfsouls]

I think there is one karkand like map from the looks of it.

[sT0nY]

i would unlock all the abilities first

[NiSsE]

I am going to play Reckon soo...
First unlock: C-7
Second: active Camo
Third: Weapon
after that i guess more sprint :D

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Wow thx I had never herd of it b4.

[MrBenis]

As for me, gun drone, sentry gun and extra sprint.

I HATE BEING LOW ON SPRINT... and playing a heavy kit means I'm ALWAYS out of sprint!

[Cicchetti]

I have no clue so many unlocks to pick muhahahahaha

[Ping King]

Active Camo. Yah i'm gona hunt down DICE members with it.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Active Camo. Yah i'm gona hunt down DICE members with it.

nice... lol

[Cicchetti]

Active Camo. Yah i'm gona hunt down DICE members with it.

LMAO I think i will join you but i will leave DICE Sweden alone and go after Dice Canada

[Elit3_Hawkins]

LMAO I think i will join you but i will leave DICE Sweden alone and go after Dice Canada

Why???

[MrBenis]

Because DICE canada are the ones who made all the screwball patches for BF2..

[Elit3_Hawkins]

O... see that is news to me

[Cicchetti]

Really are you a total bf2 member?

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Who .. me?? If it is to me yes I am a total bf2 member

[Cicchetti]

Then how in the world my friend have you been around there and not heard about Dice Canada making the patches?

[Elit3_Hawkins]

That certain info just never came to my attention thats all

[MrBenis]

Yea well, the new patch (1.4) sounds promising. They released a v2 a day or so ago, and by the looks of things they are actually paying attention this time.

On a totally unrelated note: wouldn't it be interesting if some of the unlocks you get to choose directly benefit only vehicles? I mean, besides the wrench, of course..

[okashii]

wouldn't it be interesting if some of the unlocks you get to choose directly benefit only vehicles?

Yeah! hydraulic suspension, 20" chrome wheels, 4 subwoofers <Celine Dion on full volume>... :P

[Splinter]

Yeah! hydraulic suspension, 20" chrome wheels, 4 subwoofers <Celine Dion on full volume>... :P

Everything except the Celion Dion part, ACDC FTW!!!!!!!!!

[okashii]

Celine Dion album is a offence unlock that causes teamkilling in the enemy team :P <I can't take it anymore - kill me....>

[Miniman]

everybody hates dice canada for no reason

whenever i ask ppl to name bugs, all they say is red/blue and CTD, and occasional rocket ghosting. red/blueis practially non-existant, CTD is practically fixed with 1.4, and so is rocket ghosting. in exchange, they have made the gameplay more fun - squad jumping means that it was almost impossible to kill an assulting squad.

also, we have had 2 new gamemodes, 2 new maps, and lots of fixes. leave them alone!

(back on track)

you have to unlcok c7? :/ thats my first unlock gone. im an AT expert, and CAN hit a barns door from a foot away, so ill givwe that beastly rocket launcher a try. The AA unlcok depends on how annoying aircraft are, and how good it is against vehicles/troops

[okashii]

can somone tell me about that AA unlock ?

[Elit3_Hawkins]

What are you talking about ... Do you mean the flack AA

[okashii]

I mean the AA unlock a few people mentioned before, any details, pics ?

Yea well, that would be true except: I got redtag bug today, I CTD'd today, the server crashed a wonderful 5 times, squad jumping doesn't exist anymore, Wake2007 is a really poorly made map, I had a TOW missle go through an APC today and half their fixes cause new problems to emerge.

Not to mention that: bunny hopping still exists, dolphin diving still exists, C4 chucking has been RE-introduced, the game has still got some netcode issues (namely, lack of hit detection and randomly bouncing all over the place), J-10's can out turn missles, AA vs jets is grossly unbalanced anyway, CARTILLARY, Karkand exploit, solo-chopper tv missles, laser bombs don't hit locked targets 50% of the time (or less), M203 still works at point blank range, multiple reload animations, lack of ability to fire while reloading a single round fed shotgun, parachutes failing to open, teamkill issues, over sensitive mines, undersenstive mines, under powered mines (as in, you run over one but it doesn't kill you), AA failing to track a locked aircraft, AA breaking lock mid-flight, the defrib failing to recharge, the defrib recharges but fails to work, the G36E still being head-and-shoulders above all other weapons, the G3 killing in a single chest shot against a full health ARMOURED soldier, tank shells fail to register as hits on light recon vehicles, the L96A1 failing to suffer an accuracy penalty when switching from prone to crouching while moving, grenades failing to explode after the thrower has died, grenades failing to explode at all, loss of VOIP, tank shells failing to register a hit on other tanks, moving backwards from a tow or eryx/sraw missle causes less damage to be recieved, 1 shot tank kills, artillary deals little damage to vehicles, BH minigun can destroy APC's, feet sticking through walls...

There's more, but I've wasted 5 minutes of my life just thinking of the problems written here already.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

WOW I get 7 times more crap then that

[MrBenis]

I rest my case.

I have little faith in DICE Canada. Maybe they'll do better this time around.

OH WAIT, I THOUGHT OF ADDITIONS!!

Special forces has 5 of 7 teams using the same set of weapons, the booster packs.. I mean.. WOW, 3 maps? The essex chaingun failing to damage aircraft, TV missles failing to launch, TOW missles failing to launch on the first click, TOW not rearming automatically.

Lets see, I know I can think of a few more.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Plz dont your making me cry...

[MrBenis]

Haha! Ah well, despite all my whinging I'm still in love with this game.

[MrBenis]

Haha, damn straight. There's nothing quite like getting 9 teamkills from a single mine to start the round, then 14 kills from 1 grenade to end it.

And the spacey says I'm a karkand whore, oh he knows me too well :rolleyes:

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Thankyou...

[Miniman]

thats probly cause of how complicated the bf2 engine is. they still fixed at least sopme issues. if the game was stil v1.0, a lotta people wopulda lsot interest. and is that 1.4 beta 2? its finally a great patch

1.4 is getting better because they are listening to the community

[MrBenis]

BTW, did you guys see the other weapons in the new videos? That black assault rifle looks like it shoots really well standing up, it had very little spread from what I could see!

My question is, can all the assault rifles take the shotgun/GL additions? Or only some?

Something that bothers me: when the dude from the Gamespot video cloaked himself, you could still see the handheld device. Is this just for the player using it? Was that a bug? Or is the device now permanantly visible no matter what?

[Elit3_Hawkins]

I dunno....

[Serenity]

i say no because you can switch weapons to shoot to uncloak right ?

[okashii]

It is just visible for the player using it <my guess is that you have to keep it in your hand to turn it off before atacking, you cant attack while cloaked so it seems like id does not un-cloak by itself when you atack, you have to disable it first <click> ant then swich to gun and fire>
