you can peobably use your existing account but I would bet that everyone regardless of rank will have to start out as a private again and that sucks bigtime........

You better not be true...

I will put money on it that you will not have to start over again. People aren't realizing its an EXPANSION pack, not a new game, they are just adding maps and weapons and toys. Don't worry people your rank and medals will stay the same.

I hope you're right man else I would be really pissed of at EA/ Dice.

Well, if you don't have to start over then we should be expecting a HUGE patch out anytime in the next few weeks.  If everything in SF is to be ranked then they have to add all the new weapons, vehicles etc etc into our BFHQ's, which they havent so far.  I'm pretty sure thier going to have it as a seperate ranking system.

i don't think so because the 2nd Lieutenant is not the highest rank in the army.

ITS AN EXPANSION PACK, they are adding to the game, when you insert the new cd your new weapons will MAGICALLY appear, what don't you guys understand about this.

Sounds like a wish, more then a fact.

Did nobody read the interview?

You can use your currect account. You won't start from scratch, you'll continue with your current rank and points. Your unlocks from BF2 will transfer into SF. When you gain certain ranks with SF, you get to use the SF weapons in BF2.

It's all in black and white man . . .

Wich brings me to this .
If the expansion is all about sneaking and being silent and stuff.
How can you be silent while your PKM is blasting your way through ?

Ohwell, Like I should care one bit of shit.

PKM owns, sneaky or not.

Why don't you all just go to Battlefield2.com and click on Special Forces expansion and READ!

Thanks for providing him with the linkage.

If all our points, unlocks etc. are getting transferred across, then at what amount of points are the SF unlocks awards etc. going to be given out? Blazin.UK has 200K + points, so does that mean the ranks start after 200K or will Blazin buy the game and start off as Uber Lord of the Universe? I don't think anyone can answer this on the forum but it opens up some interesting possibilities.

What are you talking about? Start off what game? It's an EXPANSION PACK. It isn't a new game. It isn't a new "universe". It's adding some content to the existing game. Period. The unlocks will likely be at the same point. Why would it be any different?

"Expansion Pack".... see, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

orrrrrr maby they might add a new page in the BFHQ, same account but 2 pages for your stats, 2 ranks, one rank for regular BF2 and one rank for BF:SF

If your Master Sergeant on BF2, and you install the expansion pack you would still be Master Sergeant when you play the regular BF2 maps bla bla bla, but when you play the special forces maps you would be private and work your way up,  like when a soldier joins the special forces (well it happens in UK) they dont bring there rank to the new regiment, they start from the bottom and work up again

well..... thats what i would like to see happen

please read the interview before posting....the answer to that is clearly given:

"You continue from your current rank and if you already have a very high rank you can even get unlockables directly since you have worked your way up in advance. I don't have the exact points in my head, but there is some room to play even for the high ranked players.

When you install and play the expansion you continue to build on your current profile. As you advance in rank you will gain access to weapons from the expansion to use in BF2. This means that there are no unique unlocks in the expansion but you unlock the possibility to use weapons from the expansion in the original game. "


so,you get to keep your ranks and points from BF2. and why not since there is only one account you play under. But the unlocks for certain SF weapons are at different points than they are in BF2, which means that for example as a Sergeant in BF2 you have 3 unlocks @ 2500 points, but when playing SF with that account you might only have one or two. If your account has enough points to qualify for unlocks in SF, you will have to decide which one to pick when you first log into SF, I suppose.
Please note though that there are no unique unlocks for SF. What will happen is you unlock the SF weapons for use in BF2. Accordingly, everyone will be using the same weapons in SF.
