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:
o GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
o GeForce FX 5900
o GeForce FX 5900XT
o GeForce FX 5950 Ultra
o GeForce FX 5900ZT
o 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.
