I found this on another site and can't remember which one but you have all the credit whomever you were.

 

We have a small heads up announcement regarding the next couple of weeks in BF2. Things are rolling along for the patch and the booster pack, and as expected you'll likely see them later this month. The patch will come first, and be well in place in time for the first Booster. That said, we want to inform you of a small oddity you may see in-game while we get the various aspects coordinated.

 

Short explanation: At some point in the next couple of weeks, you will see an empty in-game window pop-up, just like you received an award. This is just GameSpy detecting now that when the patch comes out you will get another weapon unlock. You should only ever see it once or twice, depending on how high your rank and how many unlocks you'll have coming. Once the patch is out, your weapon unlock will be available in the BFHQ tab and you can make your choice.

 

Long Explanation: The next patch is going to give many players another weapon unlock at their current rank. In order to get the best testing results we are having GameSpy configure up the weapon unlocks now on their end. This allows us to test them in a true environment, which is rather effective. The side effect of this is that when this is first in place you are likely to see an empty placeholder message. It will look just like you received an award and will appear once for each unlock you've earned. This message would be telling you that you have received another weapon unlock, but we haven't patched the weapons in yet. So you will see this placeholder message which is harmless. When the patch is in place though, the stats system will think you already got your notification in- game. So you will want to hit the BFHQ tab and unlock your free weapon.

 

Thank you everyone for your attention, and we hope you all enjoy the upcoming new content! Game on.

Way to go Klink, you're becoming more like Hogan forgetting things

Klink you the man

thanks klink, so ill get 2 unlocks then?

i noticed last nite i had some unlocks i didn't know why i had.i didn't choose anything cuz i want the new sniper gun when the new mod comes.

when the new mod does come out, are we going to run any of the maps? Or keep them off because it could pretty much kill the server if most people don't have them.

We really should not kill the server as busy as it is.

 

A good question.

i assume where going to be able to use all the guns anway, knowing what happened with special forces.

Scraps was talking to me about this last night, and i still dont know if its safe to unlock my weapons without losing my 2 unlock points from my promotion.

 

-e-

oh and i unlocked the MG36 this morning. i dont know what else to unlock, because i cant see how the SF unlocks are better than BF2 ones, besides the MP7, MG36, and possibly the F2000. but i wouldnt use the F2000 for the reason everyone else does(F2000 GL). so i thought to myself... "what should i unlock?" :/.

And in typical EA fashion I cant find anything on if you use these 2 unlocks what will happen when the patch comes out. I can see that there is 2 weapons that dont have pics, and you cant unlock them because there is nothing there yet. And of course I cant get an straight answer as to IF we use these, will they just reset when the patch comes out? Or what?
