Weapons Q

[Schlang]

I was wondering. I m sure the Dev's are completely aware of the fact that individuals are lusting after specific weapons to be in FH. I just had an idea, im probably not the first but hey here it goes.
I know this would take extra time but whatever. You could make a various number of weapons that people have been requesting. And you could make them unlock weapons like in BF2 and you could have them be for only 1 or many classes. Like i know that the Mauser pistol is one of the few wanted. I heard a rumor that there wont be ranks. Well, could there still be weapon unlocks?? you could unlock 1 of many weapons ever x number of kills. This would a great diversity to game play.

personally i think some cool guns to add would be the S43 Erma EMP, the Bergmann, The MG15nA, The Mauser pistol of course, The Suomi M1931, MP41, Gast Maschingewehr, PzB 39

just a Q can you please make the anti tank rifles fire at the real speed, not like your in the matrix

Gast Maschingewehr, S43 Erma EMP,

huh? What is that, never heard of those two weapons before

and for the PzB 39, it was in FH, so im also sure its gona be in one of the later releases of FH2

The PzB 39 was NOT in FH1, however a model of it for FH2 has been shown.

The only weapon unlock I support is the Mauser C96 - pretty much every side had the opportunity to get hold of one as a booty weapon. However, I don't have anything against selectable kits, eg MG34/MG42 for the German support class. Or even Kar98 with sight ring/Kar98 without sight ring for the Regular.

Hmm don't you mean you have an idea, a suggestion?

from GD to Suggestions.

Personally I don't like unlocks, it only promotes point whoring. Besides that it would be rather silly if you could "unlock" let's say a Sturmgewehr 44... I can already picture 1337 CoD point farming kiddies with them running around in an early war map... great. So I say no due to

- It promotes point whoring (bad!)
- It will cause historical errors (late war guns in early war setting)

People will just have to wait for a map that plays in a period and setting were a certain weapon was used. If it's a special (rare) weapon it should be a pickup kit (or randomized on spawn but hearing that BF2 doesn't support randomization -way to go dice - ) so only a few people may run around with it.

[Pornska]

I would like to see the unlocks being changed into a alternative weapon system, meaning that players have the choice to pick a different weapon for there kit ( if available ) when they spawn.

For example, the Russians would be able choice between a PPSH with a Drum or a PPSH with a stock clip.

I heard that in the latest patch you are now able to create alterantive kits using the unlock function, u click that unlock switcher and a new kit is displayed, this could be done in many casses, i think PRMM is doing something with it. Its a kind of thing that u dont have to win, its just an alternative. Like this, if PRMM can do it something like this, the assult class now is fited with a M16 with grenade launcher, an alternative could be an M16 with just normal grenades, smoke and what not if u dont want the grenade laucher. im not sure if it is possible but it would be great for FH2 because some soldier like the british paras could choose some weapons they wanted like between a tompson or a Sten, that sort of thing.

Draw your own confusions.

And unlocks, any unlocks, any point system, any tangible rewards that in any way reward scoring (because as has been discussed and demonstrated over and over agan there is _NO_ known way to implement a points system that avoids whoring), how shall I put it gently....licks the sweat from a dead man's balls?

All for having rare, exotic weapons pickup kits, though.

IF the unlocks make it into FH2 will the points peeps have from BF2 slide over to FH2? If thats the case I need to start playing that damn game before FH2 release day.

[Fuzzy Bunny]

*whimpers* please god, no...

(As that'd mean some of the idiots from BF2 will slide over too..)

[Soujiro]

Well, EA let unranked games to unlock weapons. Because of this, I would imagine that the FH2 team will use the unlock system as alternative kits.

Also, I wouldn't worry about late-war weapons in early war battles. The unlocks are outlined in the kits itself.

You can have German Fall 1941 with one unlock, and German Summer 1944 with a different one.
