Welcome to a second in what I hope will be a series of connected posts proposing improvements and changes to what bf2 could be. I call it BF2 squared, or just BF4. Feel free to repost anywhere you like, just please give me and BF2S some credit.
***EDIT: This is the second post in what I hope to be a series.
First post: (kits) http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=34806 ***
In my previous post, I suggested a change in the kit system to have 4 classes, with each class having 3 kits. That means 12 possible kits, and lots of unlock potential. What I want to do is create some flexibility to the system of unlocks.
I propose a complete change in the unlock system. Insterad of the way it works currently, it could work like this: Say I gather an unlock. I go to the Special Ops class, and put the unlock on my sniper. Instead of unlocking the next sniper weapon, it instead ALLOWS ALL 3 KITS IN THE CLASS TO USE THAT WEAPON. That means you could have a Demo kit with a sniper rifle. The second unlock (on the same sniper kit) will unlock the next weapon for the sniper. The other kits will be able to use the first sniper rifle, but only the sniper could use the second weapon. A third unlock on the sniper would allow everyone in the kit to use the second weapon.
This is only for the primary weapon, not the special weapons unique to each kit. So, you could have a medic using a MG, but would still throw aid packs, not ammo. Or a sniper sneaking along with the scouts MP5SD, but still has his claymores.
The exception would be the Assault class. since the weapons are so close already, the first unlock would unlock the next weapon instead of the second one.
What this means is that ther will be a LOT of potential unlocks, possibly in the 30s or 40s. Obviously, it cannot onlyl be rank dependant, so there should be MORE ways to get unlocks. Such as:
Promotions
25/50/75/100 hours as a squad member
25/50/75/100 hours as a squad leader
Recieved Basic/Veteren/Expert Combat badge in each kit. (each kit combat badge is one unlock; one for each level)
There. Questions, comments, threats, bithces, gripes, complaints? Let me know how things are going, and if you all want, the next post will be about MAPS.
