Unlocked Weapons Information

[Athan]

This seems to be missing from any fansite I've come across so far.

How about a page detailing the Unlockable Weapons ? Yes, I know, you can look at them in BFHQ, but maybe you're at work or otherwise not at your gaming machine and want to check them out.

Shouldn't be too hard to screenshot what BFHQ says for each and either use those images directly (with attribution) or retype the text ?

I'm not sure if they should go directly on a page like http://www.totalbf2.com/game/weapons/ or have their own. (Heck, that URL could do with more than just images).

-Ath, who may go sshot them himself and put together something but can't afford the possible bandwidth hammering of hosting it himself.

We do list them under our classes section:

http://www.totalbf2.com/game/classes/us.php for example the US kits.

However, we don't provide any info on them. However I will most likely write up a guide of some sort in the future.

That, and AIUI you'd need a 1.00 server+client or the demo to do the all unlocks thing now. The 'Allow Global Unlocks' settings merely allows you to use the Ranked-earned unlocked weapons on an Unranked server.

Anyway, good to hear you intend to 'fix' this. I would put a link on the Weapons page pointing to the classes page for the info too. I doubt DICE/EA would have any problems with you just pulling the text out of the BFHQ pages for it.

It would be better if Total added some description on unlockable weapons and some suggestion for unlocking weapon
(which to unlock first and then like that)

Agreed on the description. What I've done on a private page (given out to clan and friends only as I'm wary of getting bandwidth hammered) is list the BFHQ text and stick the Type/Damage/Accuracy figures for the default weapons for all 3 teams in alongside to compare.

Suggesting unlocks, and which 'first'? No point to the latter certainly. Which you unlock first is most probably going to be decided by which classes you play the most. No use unlocking the M95 sniper rifle if you only play that 5% of the time, you'd do better with, let's say, the G36C because you play Spec Ops 50% of the time.

That and peoples' opinions vary WILDLY on which is 'the best'. I think this is probably due to different playing styles.
