bf2142 all unlocks available weekend

[DunNa]

Starting friday and going to monday all ranked servers are supposed to have all unlocks available for use to everyone.

I'm not sure if that includes the new ones if you are on 1.9b but its still pretty cool, since I know most of you guys are rather low rank atm.

I know what I'm doing this weekend! I'm only a Master Corporal Silver at this point, so this should help me decide what's next on my unlock list.

[SWATJester_os]

Man I should start playing this game again.

[PsychoMantis]

I normally average about 25 sniper kills per round, not with the zeller... thank god.

I love this game, it brings the mind numbing joy that only pointless violence can create.

[Scraps]

Smacking people in the face with the Anti-Material rifle is awesome.

Is NS good? (I'm talking about the expansion pack)

Its out now?

[Onyx]

I think on EA Downloader.

[GusButts]

Goddammit they're already starting to pour out the fucking expansions?

Some things never change.

I think on EA Downloader.

No its not out yet, there is 1.9b or whatever which is the public beta (thoug no access to NS maps). Even if you don't get NS you will be able to field upgrade and get the NS unlocks if you have the pre-requisite unlocks (such as if you have the zheller unlocked you can get the radar ghost thing with field unlocks).

NS shouldn't be getting released till some time in march iirc.

Xhair its basicly just a map pack, and its priced accordingly also a good portion of the things are usable without its purchase (save the maps). I'm guessing a "real" expanssion will come out closer to christmas.

I hate the Zheller. My friend unlocked it before I could tell him your guys' recommendation not to get it, and I absolutely hate that thing. It's like they purposely tried to make the scope small and crappy. The 3 round mag isn't exactly thrilling either.

I read up on NS, and I still think the "Quantum Phaser" or whatever it's called that lets you go through walls is pure BS.

No such thing....

The unlocks for NS are as follows (I had beta access but got tired of it due to lack of people).

Recon
left, radar ghost, basicly it will throw off UAV's, scanners, and command spotting by making them think there are people were there isn't.
right, advanced camo, basicly just like the basic active camo but it lasts longer

Assault
left, extra ammo, it adds more rocket/shotgun ammo and is a player upgrade (not an equipable item but a passive effect).
right, radar nade, acts like a very limited UAV small range, limited non-refillable ammo.

Engie
left, expanded clips for smgs (passive unlock)
right, motion mine bait, basicly it draws motion mines towards it and then the mines get detonated. Works aginst both friendly and hostile mines.
I may have reversed the left and right here.

Support
left, infantry sonar, basicly like the engies vehc sonar but for infantry
right, RDX shotgun, currently it really sucks was to small of a blast radius.. But basicly its a nade launcher only effective vs infantry and nades are sticky. 4 shots per clip, 4 extra clips.

Player
mag boots... Basicly you move slightly faster and you take less or no fall damage (or something like that)

Squad leader
super beacon, lowers respawn time from 15second to 10.

They are currently tweaking the rdx shotgun but last I saw it was pretty lack luster :(

NS is also adding afew maps, afew new map types, and 2 new vehcs. The Hachimoto which is basicly a super hover jeep with a nade launcher and chain gun but it pretty much dies if you look at it, and the Goliath a super APC of doom which acts as a spawn point and does all sorts of shit.

No such thing....

I was going off the Wikipedia article on Battlefield 2142, but it looks like they've removed all the unlock descriptions they had.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battlefield_2142&oldid=107120088#Unlocks

A list of unlocks to be released in Northern Strike, has been leaked, and is as follows:

Recon: Decoy Beacon, used to give fals signitures and enemy radar, and the higly anticipated Quantam Phaser, allowing players to walk through walls.

Assult: Extra ammo clip for the PK-47 Rockets and Shotgun add on, and The UAV Grenade, when thrown gives out a rader signal identifiying enemies.

Engineer: The MMB (or Motion Mine Bait) attracts and defuses Motion Mines, primaraly used for mine sweeping, and the AVTD (or Anti Vhiecle Tracking Device, that makes taking out vhiecles much eaiser by tracking and locking on to vhiecles to ensure an easier kill.

Support: The Infantry Detection Sonar can be deployed just like a PDS-1 from the engineer kit, but instead tracks humans, instead of vhiecls, and the Clark 12 Shotgun, a higly modified Clark 15b Shotgun that fires time delay RDX demo packs, just like the assult kits' Rifle Rocket.

Player abilities: Anti Gravity Shoes that increace sprint time and reduce damage taken from a fall.

Squad Leader Abilities: HxDD (or High explosive Destruction Devise) is an extremely large bomb that can be carried by squad leaders at the expence of all their equipment except thier knife and pistol. It is remotly detonated and has an explosio radis of 20 metres. Engineers can defuse it but it takes alot longer than reguar explosives, and is very risky due to the large explosion radius.

And here I was thinking Wikipedia was always a reliable source for information about gaming stuff.

[DunNa]

Yeah all of those I told you are spot on what was in beta with the possibility of the "left and right" reversed for afew.
