some of the ns unlocks are quite stupied though a rader grande support get the rdx shotgun and i infinty sencer thingy thats quite handy

The Motion Mine Bait NS Unlock for the Engineer is very useful indeed!

dam right it is even funnyer when u kill som1 with the exploding motion mines ive take out a walker using the bait through underneeth the walker and the mines go after it and boom

DampCat · 27 May 2007 at 10:41

So how do you get unlocks? Play multiplayer and do what...? Something flashed up when i knifed someone but i still dont really understand where im going

Revolution6000 · 27 May 2007 at 10:54

You got unlocks when you rank up, and also acquiring certain medals also gets you unlocks. When you knife someone you get their dogtags.

Wouldn't the poor bloke who laid the motion mines get a team kill for that?

scooby555t · 27 May 2007 at 11:38

i don't know all i know is i got 2 kills as the walker had 2 gunners in it quite funny seeing the mines flying about under it and then boom same if u shoot a mine with the zeller engineer with mine in hand

everytime u get a kill you get points getting badges etc will add to your points for ranking up also if you collect 50 dog tags they appear on your knife handle and you get a custom skin of the knife also

eekfek · 27 May 2007 at 11:43

yeah the custom knife skin is nice, but playing on knife only servers is how cheats obtain it, tut tut

scooby555t · 27 May 2007 at 12:27

i wasen't on a knife only server they suck and if you have to use 1 then u have no skill

FirebarUK · 27 May 2007 at 12:35

Strange, it certainly looks like your on a knife-only server

Does this game run on Vista 64 at all?

I played it on XP loads, got in the top 4000 then avent played for ages. Installed vista, reinstalled game and downloaded the 1.25 pathc. Everytime i click single/multi player it just dies on me.

Works fine in vista64.
Are you using any 3rd party gfx drivers/tools?

zx81 · 27 May 2007 at 15:01

you need to run it as administrator to get it working in vista 64

I'm running on Vista HP x64 just fine now after doing the above.

DampCat · 27 May 2007 at 15:39

I seem to be improving, i've ranked up a couple of times. The erratic mouse problem still exists and it's -really- annoying. I got a couple of badges for titan defending and combat efficiency, i dont really get the objectives of the rest of the maps though, only the titan ones. I'll work it out

blatently IS a knife only server a) last three kills in txt are all Combat knife and b) everyone just happens to be running around only using the knife ...

im not holding it against you , i dont care if there are pistol and knife only servers, its a game, its for fun enjoy using them afterall stats mean nothing
