the unlocks are part of the patch not the booster packs or SF so im guessing you can unlock them thru just vannila BF2

Actually, the new weapons come with the "Euro Booster Expansion Pack".
http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_011106
Second paragraph down - "Each Euro soldier will come equipped with a new primary weapon, from the FNP90 to the Benelli Tactical Shotgun."
It seems that these "Boosters" will be very similar to the Special Forces Expansion Pack approach.
Regaurdless, I think they have the same goal in mind. To increase sales. We've all figured that out by now.
That's one way to do it.
There's a saying....What was it..Oh yeah, "Don't hate the player, Hate the Game."..

My question has probably been asked 1000 times before, and will most likely be asked 1000 times more.
What is to keep a mod for BF2 from incorporating the Special Forces/Euro/Booster pack weapons and soldiers into their mod. Thus making them available to players without the addons?

The EULA? (End-User License Agreement) (pretty sure thats the acronym ...)

yea EA has i believe already threatened legal action against any mod(ers) that use those things in a free mod for regular bf2

So, EA is basically telling mod teams that they (EA) have 'dibs' on these weapons and that if they (the mod teams) had plans to create these weapons in their mod, tough luck? What a way to treat the community that gives your game it's life.

mods are free to create there own models an come up with there own codes, however they can not take eather models or code features from the expantion
that probably means no mod can use a grapling hook or zipline since theres probably only one way to do that code

i was under the impression the L95 and RP90 were going to become the 3rd unlocks for the AT and sniper kits, seein as all the other kits have 3rd unlocks with SF.

Becouse PRMM is mod of BF2 and BF2 has been patched with new stuff...
That's why...
About boosters - well... they couldn't make game like mmorpg where u pay for play (L2&WoW) becouse it wouldn't work out. So they are trying go the way of GW for example... boooooosters....and like in GW they don't u must buy...
Your choice...
As long there are mods around and they are free... and going to implement new guns... why to pay EA? If u can, donate mod dev team.

Who ISNT going to get the EU booster pack, geeee, should I get 3 new professional made maps for my favorite game?
YES! and, OF COURSE....if I didnt like BF2 very much I wouldnt care....but this is my favorite game... so, for me, without a doubt...>The Special Forces maps were good, some were GREAT>
IT'll be worth every penny the hours of enjoyment I will get from it
