Can't Access new unlocks! :(

[phantomdesign]

I leveled up RIGHT AFTER the patch & wanted to get my new sniper-rifle, but.... the new sniper rifle wasn’t on the list of available unlocks! I started by reinstalling BF2 & redownloading the 1.2 patch from another server & still didn't work. I then created a new account, ranked up twice (which it took forever for BF2 to register - damn it! - 748pts) & it's no on the list of unlocks.

I see the unlocks in BFHQ, however I can’t get to them in that screen which allows you to select your unlocks. Anyone else have this problem or know a way around it?

arent the new weapons from euro force?

 

[AiM]

No they arrived with patch 1.2

Euro Force isn't out yet.

 

[DESSTROYER]

you can see the european stuff in the team selection menu right now

 

[phantomdesign]

People have been killing me with the new sniper rifle & everyone talks about it on the forums; I'm sure it's supposed to be available.

In looking around, evidently there are 2 free unlocks that started BEFORE the patch? (that I never got) It said it was related to punk buster; so I'm guessing that my problem is probably also punk-buster related (I tried updating PB, but didn't help).

I asked while playing a couple BF2 rounds & a few other people have experienced this problem too.

 

[AiM]

I didn't get those unlocks either but I assume they were added only to people who have achieved a certain rank. :|

 

[Ren.182]

Do you have to unlock these or were they given to everyone? I've seen a lot of people using the sniper rifles.

I still can't unlock the p90, which I want to use for my last unlock, guess I'll try booting up SF and see if I can unlock from there.

 

[AmishSlayer]

My question is this - Have you unlocked the M95 before trying to unlock the AWP or unlocked the DAO-12 before trying to unlock the P90? These are both tier 2 unlocks.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Oh shit I haven't unlocked DAO-12 year, thats probably why, I am a dumbass, excuse me.

 

[sinkoman]

Every class should get a tier 2 unlock.

Medics a defibrilator on a stick, engies a landmine with a pullstring...

But I don't play anymore, so nvm.

 

[Venmoch]

The P90 and Arctic Warfare are only available to owners of Special Force's if I recall.

possibly^
just play in a lan cafe for an hour on your account in special forces and you will access all the unlocks

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Every class had an unlock in SF's except anti-tank and the sniper classes, which are my two classes i use...so i didn't buy the game. NOW theres two new guns...for both these classes, work it out lads...they are the two unlocks for SF's we never had. As far as i'm aware theres no second tier unlocks for any classes.

Oh and the p90 is shite Steve.

 

[Unfocused]

Do you have SF? You need it afaik.

 

[phantomdesign]

My question is this - Have you unlocked the M95 before trying to unlock the AWP or unlocked the DAO-12 before trying to unlock the P90? These are both tier 2 unlocks.

Yes, I have.

On my "GryphonAutomotive" account, I have the first sniper unlocked & an available unlock but it doesn't list either of the new weapons. So I created a new account, got 800 pts (rank 3) and don't see it on the list.

I contacted EA & I think they're going to change it for me manually.

 

[$kelet0r]

but you dont have special forces - and that is the problem
you got 5 new unlocks with special forces and then the sniper and at unlocks that were not included arrived with the new patch
logic dictates that owning special forces is required to get more unlocks

 

[JNightshade]

What he said.

 

[phantomdesign]

I guess it must be a SF unlock.

Smart... My friend has SF; I'll just get on his computer. That way I can get the new sniper & the F2000.

 

[AiM]

Are you sure it's that easy of a loophole?

 

[$kelet0r]

absolutely
thats the smart way to get the unlocks without paying for the expansion
you have to play for a minimum amount of time though - between 1-2 hours

 

[AiM]

:O

Guess I'll have to find someone with SF now then ...

 

[phantomdesign]

It DOES work! I played SF at my friends house for about 3-4 rounds & then the next day I logged into BF2 at my house & it said I had like 5 new unlocks & was able to unlock the L96A1, SCAR-L, G36E, and a few others - have a couple unlocks left.

 

[CyberPitz]

That's how I got my SF unlocks at first. Gave a friend my UN/PASS and he played for 7 minutes, gave my account back, and when I opened the game, I had unlocks waiting.
