if they were based on time people would just idle in servers for them.

Well, the age I speak of would be based on "creation-date"... not really in game time.  But maybe that's a better idea.

Not sure how to tackle the "idling" in game... but then again, who cares?  The unlocks arent super weapons, theyre just neat to have.

I think the unlocks comes to quickly.. I have 14hours and 6 unlocks..

That's because you hack...

I would guess that you are a White Zombie fan?
I would suggest buying Special Forces.  This will give you the ability (immediately) to get 3 unlocks as soon as you play a SF map.  That is because with SF you get an additional unlock for every rank.
You will get another unlock very soon as you are about to move up a rank.

Ok, so I've had BF2 for over a year now and I've managed to attain 3 unlocks.  This is in part due to my sucking and part due to my only being able to play a few times a week. 

Let's make the unlocks time based after 365days in game.. say one per month.  That would draw me back into the game... as it stands right now it has become stale because I get angry I havent scored any new unlocks.

Maybe it's just me. 

Not a bad idea, actually
If you would have SF you would have double amount of unlocks and with another 4h30 play you rank up and have another one.
Play for the fun, the unlocks won't (always) help you play better as they are not necessary more performant (except PKM) then the standard ones. Enjoy the game!

yo u allmost got 400hr and u only have 18,000points that sad

Who care about unlocks ? Got them all half-a-year ago and don't use them . Come on , stocks are better .

Time registered as a basis for unlocks would be extremely unfair. I have another account that I set up when the game first came out and forgot about (I didn't really start playing the game until late Nov. 2005). I've barely played on that account yet it shows a registration date of June 24th. Should that account have all the unlocks on it and not my main acct that has a later registration date but more than 50000 points?

I think not.

Why not?  It has been stated that the unlocks offer no true advantage.  I'm just looking for a way to freshen up the experience.
