There is a way to unlock all weapons in single player before the patch, but has anyone found a way to unlock them after the patch? Would be nice for the guys like me that don't have a braodband connection that can handle online play.Also would be nice to try the unlock before spending your hard earned points...:)

If anyone is running the original bf2, here's the changes that need to be made:

Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\python\bf2\stats directory (whether running a server or in singleplayer mode) and open the file unlocks.py with Notepad or Wordpad.


Find the line: defaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]


and change it to: defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]


Note once again that EA Games have announced that servers which do this will be delisted for 1 week.


Increasing Singleplayer Bots


To increase the number of bots used in singleplayer mode, go to your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\AI directory and open the file aidefault.ai with Notepad or Wordpad. Read the instructions in the file, and remove the words 'rem' from in front of the relevant lines. To alter the number of actual bots, edit the number at the end of the aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32 line (e.g. aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64 for 64 bots). Note that more bots can really stress your system and hence destabilize it. :D
 
@Killa: Dude, not everyone can get ADSL. When I go visit my friends in the Free State, who don't have ADSL and according to Tellcrap will only be able to get in 2007, we're only about 3 or 4 guys. We have to be able to put in bots or otherwise it's not worth it for us to play.

@DFantom: In BF2 you can get promoted to certain ranks after reaching a certain number of points. For each Rank you are allowed to unlock a weapon for one of the classes you can play with. This basically gives the players something to work towards. Also higher ranked players get preference when voting for the command position.

it's not like playing online, i totally agree, but at least for us meager peasants who can't afford or get adsl, its something. ;)
 
nope i still think its no good playing against bots that cant hit you from a m away but can head shot you from hlaf a kilo

toxi whats your nick on bf?

yea mpld is gonna be great
 
so when i get ranked up, which i have been, how do i go about getting my new weapon?
 
After you reach the first rank you need to unlock a weapon (Lance-Corporal), start BF2 normally, and after opening your online account you'll hear some corny music and a message congratulating you on reaching a rank. Then there'll be a menu where you can choose the weapon you want to unlock. I chose the medic one first since I play medic the most. :)
 
ah yes, i got that funny corny music thingy and a badge thingy thingy, i must go look at my menu!

You have to play online (on a ranked server) lately EA has problems with ranked servers and you may not get your points.The first rank is Private First class at 500 points.

Yeah, you have to be online to go up in ranks. BF2142 I think allows you to advance in SP mode.

Online owns far more than anything, but i introduced BF2 to my mates by just playing it at LANs with 6 - 8 guys. It's probably one of the best lan games since good old CS.

Question: Is it possible to use your unlocks in a local game if youre at a lan or in SP mode and have a net connection to sign into bfhq ?

It would be an unfair advantage - but quite a bit of fun to pwn bots with the upgrades.
