One things for sure. Bf2142 will be delayed! Most total conversion mods start to surface a year after a games release? Will this be true of First Strike? or is the BF2142 engine similar to BF2 so you will get most of the ground work done leaving only minor adjustments. or do you anticipate delays with compatability?

Good luck chaps look forward to it. FirstStrike and Kobol are the sole reason I buy BF2142. I am not alone on this.

Thats a pretty cool idea. How about having to have at least 10 for a teamwork score in a round before you can be awarded anything. Tho that sounds tricky to pull off codewise...

I wish there were a way to recognise stat padders and subtract their points from that subject of unlocking. ex. some guy c4 whores to get the explosives medal.... he has enough for the medal but his teamwork is -67... could there be a way to prevent the awarding of medals if their teamwork score is negative?

P.S. I laugh nearly everytime I look at your sig Ram

The AK101 is my all time favouritest gun ever! It crushes everything else in CQB and it's a default gun.

Speaking of DICE not doing research about guns, the G36E is actually a G36K, and the MG36 is a G36K with bipod and drum magazine, it's not an MG36. Neither of those guns are supposed to have iron sights either.

Well I like unlocks, but I really think it runs some games down to the point where players just see it as getting to the next level. I guess that's the point, but it kind of takes away the fun, in my opinion.

Would kinda defeat the purpose lol .

You gotta see the unlocks as 'rewards' for playing the game.

Still, for more casual gamers, account setup should feature an option for "Skip the paddle/arty grinding and use all the weapons in the game"

because the fact is the weapons DO have separate strengths and weaknesses (however retarded these may be) and I enjoy picking a weapon specifically for the situation ahead.

well either way , some default weapons are better. They all have strangths and weaknesses.

Unlocks are the best addition to online games since Squads.

More unlocks the better!

umm no the unlockable weapons ARE better. No doubt, it even says on in the game they are more accurate, and do more damage than the standard ones. Its a FACT they are better.

I dont play BF2 all the time ..in fact i didnt play it for about 7 monthes after I bought it ( i played for about a month , then stopped) .

I have no problems with killing ( or being killed) with the standard weapons or the unlocks. Theres no real difference in them.

Probably the real reason why some people have a better chance of killing you is because they are better? ...due to playing more. The unlockables are not super guns lol .

People will always act "noobishly" online. People will always stat pad aslong as there is a leader board (I dont like or dislike the leaderboard). Nothin to do with new weapons.

One of the top reasons I dont play BF2 is because of unlocks. I dont play it all the time, so everyone has a better chance of killing me. That makes me play it less.

It is when you get an old tart (preferably custard) and make it into a new tart.

Either that or he spelt retarded wrong:

re·tard·ed Pronunciation Key (r-tärdd)
adj.

1. Often Offensive. Affected with mental retardation.
2. Occurring or developing later than desired or expected; delayed.
