Battlefield 2 Weapon Unlock

[Achill Baldwin]

Thisis the root category for all weapons of the Battlefield series. It serves as an index for all of the game-specific subcategories of weapons, as well as the overarching weapon-type subcategories.

Sea and airborne weapons made killing from a distance more effective as well. Guns mounted on ships were able to strike targets up to twenty miles inland. The stealth and speed of German submarines gave Germany a considerable advantage in its dominance of the North Sea. Although airplanes were technologically crude, they offered a psychological advantage. Fighter pilot aces such as Manfred von Richthofen, Germany's "Red Baron," became celebrities and heroes, capturing the world's imagination with their daring and thrilling mid-air maneuvers.

The Ultimate Unlock kit only unlocks class based progression weapons and gadgets and progression based vehicle unlocks (for the base game nothing is unlocked from expansion packs). The Ultimate Unlock kit does not unlock any attachments for the weapons, rank based weapons, or assignment based weapons or expansion based assignment weapons. All of these you have to earn via getting kills with each weapon for by earning ranks and completing assignments. You can read exactly what it covers and does not cover here: -us/store/battlefield/battlefield-4/addon/battlefield-4-ultimate-shortc... I do however understand how the wording can be confusing, and that EA should be more specific that it only unlocks certain items and not others.

Hi @deadfool68. Could you please specify which shortcut bundle you have bought first?

What do you mean by your loadout is the same? Do you mean that the things that had to be unlocked with the shortcut bundle weren't?

i bought the weapon shortcut bundle for Battlefield 4. it is suppose to unlock 10 base weapons for carbine, shotgun, handguns etc. it says that it is installed but so far no unlocks have occurred. i have deleted and reinstalled Origin but no difference.

One of the first uses for concrete on the battlefield was in response to growing numbers of IEDs. As early as 2004, the major tactical and technical focus in Iraq was oriented at stopping these roadside bombs. One of the primary tactics used to fight the IED threat was to line every major road with twelve-foot-tall concrete T-walls. Soldiers spent days, weeks, and months lining first every major highway and then other, smaller roads with concrete barriers. At over $600 a barrier, the cost of concrete during the eight years of the Iraq War was billions of dollars.

IEDs were not the only major threat to American forces. Shortly after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, US forces also began to come under direct attack by mortars and rockets in their outposts and bases. These attacks became even more dangerous when US forces moved out of large bases and into smaller outposts deep in cities and among the populations, where the ability to maintain safe standoff distances or retaliate to indirect fire was difficult for fear of causing civilian casualties. Again, the solution was concrete. Slabs were placed to form not only the walls of compounds, but also walls around and bunkers between every structure within them. This significantly reduced the effects of any enemy incoming fire.

The demand for concrete was immense. New contracts had to be developed and concrete factories had to be found, built, and expanded in multiple places across Iraq. Getting concrete became as important a mission as emplacing it.

This was not a new concept. British forces used blockhouses to interdict Boer forces in the Second Boer War. During the 1950s, they successfully used fortified villages in Malaya to separate the population from communist insurgents. French forces during the Battle of Algiers cordoned off the entire Casbah and its 100,000 inhabitants to fight National Liberation Front (FLN) terrorists. In modern warfare, concrete has allowed for a new level of effectiveness in this old concept.

In response to the situation, the US forces basically engaged in siege warfare. But atypical to historic examples, instead of attacking to break through fortified wall, they imposed the siege on the enemy by building walls. Reminiscent of a medieval siege engine, each night US forces drove up to the limits off Sadr City with massive cranes and trucks loaded with twelve-foot-tall T-walls. On a good night, soldiers could emplace over 122 barriers. Enemy forces attacked the soldiers putting in the walls and it was not uncommon to be hanging concrete while attack helicopters, tanks, and Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles returned fire.

Within thirty days, soldiers emplaced over 3,000 T-wall sections to create a three-mile wall that interconnected with previously emplaced walls and ultimately completed the encirclement of Sadr City. The wall successfully restricted the ability of JAM to move supplies and conduct attacks outside the now-enclosed enclave, took away critical firing points outside the wall from which the International Zone was within range of their rockets and mortars, and created checkpoints were known terrorists could be separated from the population. Iraqi security forces and US soldiers did enter the city to clear major sections, but the wall allowed them to reduce external attacks and conduct operations at their initiative.

Many in the military are thinking about future warfare in complex urban terrain, to include operations in megacities with populations over 10 million. The US Army spent eight years fighting in the complex terrain of Baghdad. Concrete contributed to reducing the complexity of the urban environment, served as a major tool in establishing stability, and functioned as a powerful weapon against enemies using safe havens within the city.

What lessons about concrete should inform future operations? Should the military incorporate concrete into its plans for contingencies in urban terrain? Should it equip Army combat formations with better cranes among its organic equipment? Should the Army pre-position concrete? Where will concrete come from around critical cities? Should research and development be conducted on advanced hydraulic systems or technology that lifts six-ton barriers so that a soldiers can push them into place by hand? I say yes to all the above. But at a minimum, these are questions that military planners should be asking. Concrete might not be sexy, but it is the most effective weapon on the modern battlefield.

I will never look at a load of concrete, jersey barrier or a slab of concrete again with out a very heartfelt reminder of the risks our soldiers have made for our freedom.

God Bless our Soldiers.

I read the Egyptians built the pyramids using long sticks as rollers for the pyramid squares much like a tank rolls along. Is there a way to move the smaller concrete without a crane nor vehicle? There must be a manual way to move them easily with some tools? I could see the people building their own defenses if they are provided the concrete and some tools to move them around.

My Grandfather Major Alfred D. Maniraj was the head of the MEG(Madras Engineering Group) and they were responsible for construction of bridges, walls, bunks in wars. I guess they were more important in the battlefield than I thought.

Deployment also seems to have some effort involved? You need either a helicopter (at least 1 person), also a at least a second person on ground level to make fine adjustment happen (in case you are grouping them up?)

The maginot line used concrete, not stones , and was quite efficient : the germans had to go around it not through it.

If there is a reason for french defeat in. 1940, it has more to do with the commandment and doctrine than with the tools available to yhe common soldier

Your description of the walls built around Sadr City sound a lot like the approach Julius Caesar took at the battle of Alesia in what is now France. The Roman legions built lengthy walls around the town where Gaulish leader Vercengetorix was encamped with his army, essentially imprisoning him.

It's awesome that concrete walls can give soldiers the freedom to maneuver in urban areas. My brother is interested in barrier walls, and he wants to learn more about their applications. I'll share this information with him so that he can know more about the topic.

Was it ordinary reinforced concrete or some special composite concrete composition?

There are no limits to the application of reinforced concrete. For example, mobile ammunition storages made of reinforced concrete.
