Why is getting basic equipment have to be an unlock? Shouldnt soldiers of the future have this stuff already?

Sorry, I was a little vague.  I was talking specifically about grappling hooks and zip lines.  If you have a squad in which one person has a grappling hook and another has a zip, you can get you squad to crazy places.  I think it adds a whole new dimension of strategy to the game.  Have you heard anything about devices in 2142 that are similar to the grappling hook or zip?

There doesnt seem 2 be any tactical movement equipment like that. The demo was a pretty open map, and even then it wudnt have been able 2 be used, coz u cudnt use any unlocks!

I agree with you man. Altho the first unlock is at 40 points
Thats one round and you get the naaaaaades.

At least the important unlocks for the kits that we all grew with in BF2 are at the start of each unlock tree (such as Defibs, Explosives, Claymores. Unfortunately the assault got shafted that they have to get 6 ranks and work up both unlock trees to get their smokes and grenade launcher equivalent back).

For them to make grenades as an unlock is an interesting move. Sort of forces the player to decide between the allure of new kit goodies and the allure of having bundles of fun to throw at the enemy. Likewise for the sprint upgrades. More guns and gadgets? Or to have the sprint to be able to make it off the exploding titan?

The last two unlocks are interesting as well (more sidearm/clip ammo & 1 extra grenade). They might seem rather medioche,  but after playing as engineer for a while, that extra SMG clip is a godsend. Plus Im sure snipers won't mind the few extra bullets in their pistol clip. As for that extra grenade, Support players should enjoy the extra EMP grenade, as well as the minority smoke grenade users. 3 frags is better than 2 frags.

The field unlocks is somewhat helpful in relieving the burden of deciding between unlocks and allow you to get away with focusing down a kit tree and not be left out in the cold when, lets say, you've made yourself a nice beefy assault and you've made it into the titan core, only to discover that neither you nor your squadmates bothered to unlock any RDX explosives. As I said earlier, important gameplay changing unlocks are at the start of the tree. Field unlocks is basically an extra temporary unlock that you get for doing what your commander and sqaud leader tells you to do. You were told to defend a silo and kill someone close to the silo, you get an extra point and a small green bar fills up at the top left on your screen. When it fills up enough, you get an unlock.

Which unlock to choose? Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Wouldn't mind some feedback - but I have ended up trying to not unlock the top of a few trees to save some unlock points. Working with a squad for half an hour seems to be more than enough to get a couple of field upgrades - so I have put unlocks onto the middle part of several trees and leave picking up the class specific uber weapons for the field upgrades. Overall, it gives access to more stuff over the game, as unlocking the top permanently doesn't get you any further. Granted - by officer ranks I expect to have a couple of these permanent, but is this a reasonable approach to driving your unlocks further?

That makes no sense, Your an idiot.

Its meant so people can quickly and easily access a list of unlocks. And its also good for a 2142 wiki for BF2S.

He has really good point there actually, BF2142 has no soldier movement unlocks, exept for the increased stamina and running speed, but did DICE even consider stuff like this?

I think stuff like this will come out in a 2142 expansion pack, like special forces.

Why would they need an expansion pack? i mean cmo'n they already have active camo and motion mines, i think the only thing they can do now is make new maps and weapons, and making new unlocks wil be really hard. Besides, i think EA and DICE are already working on Battlefield: Bad Company.
