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.

with this new content it is not possible to play on the Internet or LAN with

Battlefield 2 1.03 users.

To be able to play together with Battlefield 2 core users, you need to have

update 1.1 or later.

- In order to play Special Forces in multiplayer on the internet you will need

to download the latest patch from EA.

NIGHT VISION

- The NIGHT VISION is bound to the "7" key by default. When it is enabled, it

will allow you to see better in dark areas. There is a battery life on the

goggles that will deplete with usage and replenish when not in use.

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.

FLASH BANG

- The FLASH BANG is used to stun other players. The FLASH BANG is part of the

Assault kit. Use it like a hand grenade. When it detonates, anyone in the effect

area will be deafened and those looking at the explosion will be blinded as well.

TEAR GAS

- The TEAR GAS will linger in an area for a short time. The TEAR GAS is part of the

Support kit. While active, anyone in the cloud will become affected. While affected,

players will be blind and unable to sprint. Use the GAS MASK (default key "8") to

avoid being affected by the gas. Once affected however, the gas mask will not

cure you. It will only prevent further affects.

UNLOCKS

- By playing on a Battlefield 2â„¢: Special Forces map, you will gain the priviledge

of being able to unlock some of the Battlefield 2â„¢: Special Forces weapons for use

in regular BF2 maps. These unlocks are considered to be tier 2 unlocks, where as

the original unlocks are considered to be tier 1. You must first have unlocked

the tier 1 weapon for a particular kit before you can access and unlock the tier 2

weapon. As an example, if you must unlock the G3A3 for the assault kit before you

can unlock the F2000 for the assault kit.

GRAPPLING HOOK AND ZIP LINE RELOAD TIME

- The grappling hook and zip line take roughly 15 seconds to reload at the resupply

crate.
