Unlocks

[Amraam]

I wonder why the promotions before ~1000 points give you two unlocks, but every promotion now only gives 1unlock?

Is it a bug or is it how it's meant to be?

They'd soon run outta unlocks.

I've got a question along the same line.
Some unlocks don't seem to be an option when you customize with each new
game..such as the sprint injector gun.

I can't access that unlock...it just doesn't show anywhere.
Does that mean my sprint speed is automatically speeded up a little?
I suppose it may...but if it does...I've not noticed it.

Maybe its like the med kit unlock which heals faster...but not by that much?

I think some unlocks such as these are located above and to the left side of your Customize Soldier screen and you don't "choose" these..but rather are "given" them. That area of your Soldier Weapon Customize area is kind of vague. I can hardly see the symbols.

As far as i know all the ranks will give you only one unlock per rank. You might have gotten multiple unlocks for the first rank or 2 because of preorder/veteran rewarded unlocks but after that its all one unlock per rank, at least thats what i have had happen.

The sprint unlocks and any unlocks in that column are automatically applied to your character so you dont have to put it into your inventory. That includes the grenades, sprint bonuses, extra ammo, and extra grenade. And from what ive seen the better medpack heals alot faster, havent noticed a real big increase in the ammo pack.

Thanks Sly....smoke grenades are an option to drag over.
I am assuming that my sprint mode is a tad faster than normal...since that was an unlock.

Yeh, if you look in BFHQ, it says that the sprint boost is automatically injected each round, so you basically can permanently run for longer.

The sprint unlock doesn increase your speed, it just increases the time you can sprint. From what I remember in the beta, the sprint lasted about 1 second, and the unlock added an extra half second or some useless crap like that. Honestly, all that training and the guy can't even run. Boot Camp in the future must be some gay fag pillow fight.

LOL...I had to use an unlock on something. Just like the advanced med kit...it increases health almost unnoticably.

OK.

On another note...some of the advanced players are reaping kills by legitimate means in ways DICE never considered. DICE admits that ingenious players do things they didn't consider. Same as in BF2.

Those types should be on the patch beta team.
