This pretty much marks the end of the BF2 game... what DICE and EA has done here is an interesting innovation, though. Sell a basic game where the weapons suck and sell expansion packs where you get access to better weapons (the SF unlocks are quite nice, I expect the boosterpack guns to be even better). So, unless you like playing public at a disadvantage you are forced to buy their packs. Then, the only reason to play public is to keep up your aim between the matches and in the matches no unlocks are used. So.. all serious players are forced to play public at a disadvantage to the n00bs with using unlocks. No fun, the serious players will leave BF2 and then the game will die. Too bad, it could have been good.
Sweden a socialist country? This must be misconception. Sweden has, since WWII been ruled mostly by the Social Democratic Party (whose agenda seems quite similar to the British Labour these days). But the economic system is capitalism, pure and simple. Sure, the state taxes us more than the US government, and provides more services, but that does not make the economy socialistic!
