my money says there will be NO NEW GUNS in Northern Strike...

but there will be an xpack by next Christmas that will (just guessing, right? right?)

of course there MAYBE a new unlock like the AR Rockets or Herzog Shotgun i hope (i would love to mount a Herzog on my Zeller)

thanks

I doubt it will be in the pack of course, but I want to see:
Recon : Mag extension for the Zeller "Advanced" rifle.  Only up to 5 rounds.

Assault : Single use health drops (like the medipacks in BF2), as stated earlier in the thread.

Support : A new kind of EMP grenade that pervents any explosives (APMs, RDX, nades) going off in a 5 meter radius for about 5 seconds.  I*t would prevent the stalemates that occur in titans when people spam APM's nades and have C4 everwhere too.

Engineer : Guided munitions for the Pilum.  Would be happy to sacrifice ammo count to allow for this.

Player : and EMP grenade and a grenade like the one above.  Maybe less powerful/effective, for balance

Squad : Jeep drop of some kind.

Oh and P.S. , ask me later...

The idea is ok, but it would be more balanced if they lost an extra clip because of added bullets per clip

Not a bad idea, but put a limit on how many each player gets (so the med spamming doesn't recur)

Excellent idea.

mmm..I don't think this is necessary, but it's not a bad idea.  I would rather see an upgraded SMG rather than a new AT or AA gun, but thats just me.

A stronger grenade?  I'm not sure I'm reading this right, but I think the grenades are plenty powerful enough.

I think I'd rather see a personal supply drop rather than a vehicle.  Think of all the glitches that would be discovered because of a vehicle drop... not fun.  And besides, some commanders suck at commanding, so this would alleviate the for the lack of decent commanders.

Most of the ideas are good though.

First up, sorry about the botched quoting.  Im tired and really cant be bothered to sort it out properly.
The "" 's denote things said about my ideas.

Yeah that is okay.  You do get a large mag count as it is (porbably to make up in part for the appaling mag size).

Yeah you maybe would have to limit it to 1 or 2 packs.  You may also want some kind of limit on how ofen a player can pick one up, so you cant sit behind someone getting shot constanly full-health healing them (a statpadders dream)

Yes

Now you mention it , something like a weakend Lambert Carbine would make the kit much more versatile

Was running out of steam. And I really hate the titan nade spamming tactic.

Yeah the glitches and exploitation of them would suck but you probably could come up with some ingenious way to limit that.  And I hate having to suicide because the fool driving the [whatever] just crashed it or rolled it over in the middle of nowhere...
The mini supply drop is a good idea.
And thanks :p

Hi everyone, I recently read about the upcoming expansion (I think I speak for everyone when I say "EA you goddamn ripoff artists why didn't you make it a fu****ng free patch?") for BF2142 called Northern Strike and they said that there will be 10 new unlock items at the top of each unlocks tree. Does anyone know what they're gonna be? And if not what do you think it's gonna be?
A free booster? EA isn't a fucking charity service.

Why does EA need to lay the smack down on us if we post game info before they release it? I mean all we are doing is free marketing for them, we are helping not hurting by posting this stuff.

So true, if there are informations before release thats why people want to buy stuff. And i reckon after players see these kinds of unlocks it awakes the interest in the Booster Pack. I know several guys where this happened.

Though the NDA doesnt apply for me, nor did i post media on the forum nor has chuy to fear anything just because someone posted a link into the incredible large worlds of the internet.

Chill dude. I am bound by the NDA as a beta tester, so, naturally, I feel that info like that shouldn't just be blow out in the open when if I released that kind of info, I wouldn't be able to beta test anymore.

That's why you're a tester and we aren't.

Okay so I did a google search and found the unlocks--I will not divulge my source, suffice to say that these new vehicles?  They're gonna be a true pain in the ass to kill; they will take a beating.  And...well, lets put it this way, remember the Medic becoming the new assault class for BF2?  Support is going in that direction in terms of all tactics--extremely powerful, extremely dangerous.  I'm gonna whore that motherf00ker like no tomorrow.

For the record, I'm not really divulging anything that hasn't already been figured out by now.  and I'm not NDA bound, I've never played the beta.  So these general hints will keep you guys salivating--this will be a truly awesome expansion in my opinion, if they've tweaked the unlocks in the way I think they have, some of which are quite interesting and already have me planning new tactics.  And the new badges/ribbons look entertaining--if somewhat strange in a couple cases.

And yes, support players will be even more lethal now.

For the record.

Everyone, beta-testers and forum members, you will be banned from the forums if you post any media, or advertise that you have it in your possession and wiling to share if asked for via pm/karma (2nd method is also karma system abuse).

Wow, you guys are enforcing the NDA harder than EA is. If you are not in the Beta and therefore not bound by any NDA, you are legally allowed to say whatever you want about this game...even if the information you are revealing was leaked by someone violating the NDA.

Actually Combat Studios enforces the NDA by removing leakers.

This is a private forum, rules have been set. If you don't like them, than that is your problem.

Officially, yes. But in reality, it rarely ever happens. They have no means of connecting random forum accounts to in-game accounts. The same holds true for MMO betas, like WoW's. It is a rule that is merely symbolic, not enforced.

You say you will ban anyone who posts media about the game. There is plenty of legal media from this game available on the official EA site as well as other sites like IGN. I don't understand the reasoning of such a rule.
