Special Forces Unlocks
In anticipation of the upcoming expansion pack, Battlefield 2 Special Forces, DICE has revealed the new unlocks for the game. Take note, in order to unlock these, you must first have unlocked the base Battlefield 2 weapons for that kit (for example: to be get the F2000 the user must first unlock the G3).
Scar-L for Spec Ops
G36E for Medic
F2000 (w/ grenade launcher) for Assault
MP7 for Engineer
MG36 for Support
Update v1.12
The next Battlefield update is now available. ALL Battlefield 2 owners should install it. And yes, we have a list fixes and enhancements for you.

IMPORTANT
If you've installed the 1.12 update to the "core" Battlefield 2 product and then installed Battlefield 2: Special Forces afterwards, you will need to re-apply the 1.12 update to be able to play on the new 1.12 Servers.

BUG FIXES
Fixed a crash when users switch weapons using the mouse wheel while piloting a bomber (SU-34, F-15 and J10) in core BF2 maps.
Removed the Grappling Hook and the Zip Line from kits from "The Iron Gator" map.
Fixed single player loading screens to match map selection image.
Fixed an issue in the menus so that users can click on BF2:SF ribbons to view the descriptions.
Fixed an issue in the Browser so that BF2:SF servers are now represented with a green "2" icon.
Global improvement of collision detection on the Grappling Hook and the Zip Line.
Fixed damage state artillery icon on the 3d map when an artillery is destroyed.
CHANGE of VIDEO SPECS
GeForce FX 5900 family:
GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
GeForce FX 5900
GeForce FX 5900XT
GeForce FX 5950 Ultra
GeForce FX 5900ZT
GeForce PCX 5900
For these cards, the default video settings have been changed to LOW.
UPDATE TO GRAPPLING HOOK AND ZIP LINE DESCRIPTION

GRAPPLING HOOK
The GRAPPLING HOOK is part of the Assault and Anti-tank kits. Throw it using the fire or alternate fire buttons. Press "E" to get on and off of the rope.
Use the direction keys to climb the rope. The rope will connect to any static object in the world, which means it will not work on terrain or vehicles. Any Assault or Anti-Tank kit can pick up any grappling hook, even those from other teams, as long as you do not already have one in your kit at the time.
ZIP LINE
The ZIP LINE is part of the Special Forces and Sniper kits. Use the fire button to shoot the line and use the alternate fire button to check if the target is a viable connection point or not. Once the line is in place, use "E" to get on. You will slide down the line automatically. Any Spec-Ops or Sniper kit can pick up any zip line, even those from the other team, as long as you do not already have one in your kit at the time.

Lol you get the weapons when playing special forces maps. You have to earn the weapons in the vanilla version of BF2.

Its stupid that they are allowed to be used in regular BF2.

So if I just pay 30 bucks to DICE can they make me an automatic rocket launcher? lol

Can't say I've seen that. As a matter of fact, I've enjoyed BF2 as of late. What kills me is the wait for the mods. I played DC for 12 hour marathons for at least a year. The beauty is, this engine is better and there is an endless supply of mods coming. Just wish they were out NOW!

Played COD2,Q4,Fear and the BF2 engine is the best imo. I can't say I regret buying it cause I know what's coming.
