currently unlock progression system is not supported for mods. That's official from DICE. However there may be ways around it, we sure hope so since we've planned some cool features using such a system.

I spoke with one of EA game reps (from my dot.bomb haydays as editor of Combatsim.com) The way the game works is that as you gain experience, your shooting ability and accuracy will increase. You'll be able to add more individual tweaks and mods in the 40 locks to improve your soldier.

How that could translate into FS? Good question - maybe similiar mods but renamed. The PERSISTANCE idea is great - and could be easily translated into our mod.

Yeah, BF2142 ROCKS. I haven't had that much fun since BETA 1 of Galactic Conquest.

I always found the idea of large bipedal tanks a little redicioulus (hamsters I seriously cant spell), realisticly speaking. I mean todays problem with tanks is the anti tank missle can open em up like tin cans. To combat that they've been built with lower to the ground designs and designed for faster speeds. A tall, slow, walking tank that attracts everyones attention is exactly the oppisite of this thinking.
If you ask me, in the future we'll be seeing extremely fast 'zoid' like quadreped designs that evolve on the apc/armored car concept. Legs, especially in a dog like design would allow extremely fast speeds over most terrain, and could get men into strategic areas quick.
Sorry for the off topic post .

No way? Once I get a hang of the controls, the Mech will be my favorite vehicle I think. For my first time trying it, it was abit over whelming because it kept moving forward/backwards a few steps after I finished using the controls.

If you have it, practice on SWBF 2. It has walkers that do that. You can use it to help master the timing.

Well, I Love the controls of the transport hsip (not realy tried the gunship) but as most who played with me know I love that little transport, at times it can be a death trap but My squad has gotten Top Squad Every single game using that little beauty.
Fly's like a dream for me (possibly because it resembles the republic gunship in a certain other mod) which Was my fav vehcile back then too.

Hell yeah Preach!

I usually form a squad and pilot the transport from flag to flag as we go around the outside of the map taking positions. I try to land right next to the flag and then just sit in the cockpit while the rest of the guys secure the area. The controls are indeed a pleasure and it's a very stable craft laterally - hard to wobble in a sideways direction mistakenly and crash into the ground.

Plus it's always fun to take the helos down around the buildings to avoid missile locks.
