If you could replace any unlock what would it be?

[Lt. Durden]

Ok some of these unlocks got me thinking I would much rather have something else instead of this piece of junk.

For me I would replace the smoke grenades in assault with a sort of "less recoil" unlock. Or maybe a flash bang.

Recon could go without the stabilizer, and maybe with a faster reload unlock. Something along those line.

What would you replace?

[Zagashi]

Make the stabalizer the passive unlock, and make the zoom a tool, like the stabalizer currently is. The stabalizer right now is just not worth bringing over apms or even the cloak. The zoom is much more valuable to snipers.

[Aedus]

I'd replace the stabliser with flash bang grenades or

I'd replace it with vehicle camo, makes your vehicle turn invisible for a set time, but can't fire during that time, would be for escape and flank purposes only =o]

[NeeN10DoH]

G36E instead of Voss

[Cicchetti]

Don't remind me about my G36E *tear* lol I would replace the Ganz god i hate that gun

[SeVeR_SeVeN]

I'd like to replace on of the player abilities with a hud customization. If you have ever played Anarchy Online or maybe City of Heroes/Villains then you know what i am talking about. The ability could let you move the displays around aswell as change their overall size. That way you could have the hud display your rounds remaining and/or the clips remaining on the upper half of the screen and have you map somewhere else. I'd like that idea, Ghost Recon AWF had a kick a$$ hud, why not the soldiers of 2142...;)

The netbat helmets... specifically, the engineer and assault, since they seem to do nothing. Not that I can tell anyways... but all the netbats are pretty weak... I think that each class should just GET the netbat abilities inherent to them automatically... and give each class a new better unlock.

[Mattsville]

I would like a "noob stick of terror" or something like that...

You know like when you are in a walker and some noob comes and gets in the 2nd seat and along comes an enemy gunship and you are spamming "Enemy Gunship!" for like 20 seconds while the gunship is lining you up and the noob just sits there looking at all the pretty scenery?

Or when you are trying to make a silent flag capture deep in enemy territory, and some noob comes and goes prone right next to you and starts firing his machine gun at a tank that is 3000 feet away giving away your position.

In a situation like this I'd like a new device where I could pull out the "Stick of Smite (TM)" and have some cool animation where I could smack the noob with the stick and say something to the effect of "Begone noob!, I banish you!" and then you could send them back to Quake or Wow or wherever they came from and if you were really lucky you could maybe knock them off the internet entirely...

That would be mighty useful...

Other than that, I would like Santa to bring me a better Ganz, or maybe a nice shotgun unlock for Engineer...

[(Undecided)]

What unlock would I replace? Well, the worst ones are good ideas, but poorly implemented (DICE I saw how the Accipiter owned in a video of one of your pre-release demos; it actually worked. Please buff up some of the unlocks that the are obviously unbalanced. While you're at it could you clean off my scopes? This is the future, soldiers don't need fancy tints that block their vision.)

Back on topic I would replace the stabilizer, not very useful and it takes up a slot for an unlocks. I find my aiming throw off by the stabilization, I'd replace it with something that allowed snipers to "tag" enemies simply by looking at them. The class is called "recon" after all. Maybe add a badge for spotting enemies?

[ToxicVega]

G36E instead of Voss

QFT, I miss my ole '36. /wipes eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[GrimsDead]

Im only missin 2 unlocks and those 2 are the squad leader things, not looking forward to using them anyway..

[Svartberg]

I've noticed all kits have some bad unlocks - though I wouldn't change them, but rather buff them up a bit.
Except for the stabilizer, even though it sucks i wouldn't want a sniper buffer in the first place - so i guess i wouldn't mind replacing it ...

I would give ALL my unlocks back and start over if I could have this one.

LOL, I really did laugh out loud:D

[VTEC]

I'd replace the active camo with the camo in Oblivion. If there are going to be so many negatives to going invisible (can't have weapon equiped, loud sound, takes up unlock spot, Support players can detect you), at least let the player be almost invisible instead of what we currently have.

You can "tag" enemies!!! Be in a squad and spot the enemy...the netbat does work. Your whole squad sees a diamond for enemies that ANYBODY in your squad spots. Those who say the netbat is useless is crazy. Maybe for Titan mode or lone wolfs...but for Conquest...the netbat is vital. When defending, squad leader uses RD-4 Otus and every enemy within about 100 meters shows up as a red diamond on netbat. Works great for maps like Camp and Fall of Berlin. Nothing like starting a 64 player round at one of those maps and see 32 diamonds all over your hud for you to hunt down and kill. When assulting...squad leader with a spawn beacon and a squad member as support with the DysTek Pulse Meter is incredibly helpful also. Get just outside of a flag, have him scan, look for diamonds, and hunt or move in.

I play with some buddies and we have become very deadly with this combo with frequent accusations of cheating. They always think "how the heck did you find me?" Kinda funny. We will be on teamspeak "diamonds, diamonds, hunt the diamonds!!"

Cheers! Thanks for that.

So you would totally boycott grenades, sprint unlocks, max clip and even more nades for a pretty hud?

ew

*EDIT* oh lol just re read it. "ONE o the player unlocks" my bad.
Anyway id rather still not have that as an unlock. just.. in options.

[centepede]

the only unlock that I feel was worth my time and effort was the baur. Most people would actually desagree with me on this, but I think that has a lot to do with them not knowing how to use this weapon properly. aside from the sniper rifle, this is the most powerfull weapon in the game. Believe me, if used preperly, you'll pawn with it. All the other unlocks are prety much useless to me.

[TB-303]

LOL, I'd replace all you lot with better players ;)

Oh, and no G36 whatever, all the guns (with the exception of the ganz) are all nicely balanced.

In fact, it's all nicely balanced.

All I'd replace is the lag and bugs with a working game :)

Just to reiterate, all the weapons are just fine, I could even live with the Ganz never changing as long as all the other weapons were kept as is. I don't think there's a single weapon that I want or I think needs changing (lol, ok maybe the ganz)

[frshhh]

I'd replace my smoke grenades with my iPod nano.

It'd probably be more use on the battlefield anyway.

[The_Eliminator]

I would replace all of my guns for the G36E :(

[DeathEngineer]

How about instead of a weapon or equipment unlock you can trade it for a boost in sprint or recovery. I honestly do not know why in the year 2142 soldiers can't even sprint for more than a few steps without losing breath.

For an actual replacement, as per the thread, I'd replace probably half of the unlocks for a single remote door entry key:-) Imagine... when you get out to repair the vehicle just lock it up... no more vehicle theft from fellow teammates!!!!! And any enemy that want the vehicle.. would have to pry the remote from your cold dead fingers to get it:-) And to prevent any vehicle hogs from locking up the vehicle and going for a nature walk somewhere... make it so that if they are more than 20 yard away from the vehicle... their key no longer works... and a new key is given to the next person that gets into the vehicle.

[ArmySquirrel]

I would replace the half-assed ganz with my good old PKM :D

[mjt2289]

Well, I'd completely ditch all the netbat stuff for something you might actually use.

Make the 'nades and sprint unlocks standard. I got the nades and the first sprint unlock, but I could really use that second sprint unlock. I'm too greedy to get more main weapons though. Right now, I'm goin' to unlock all of recon. Already got assault so I figured that recon would be a good second.
