This question seems to come up quite often, even though we've got the question covered in the Server Configuration / Settings FAQ so I thought I'd make it more obvious for everyone. Here are some of the reasons that we currently do not unlock the additional weapons.

1) Using the python hack to allow the additional weapons to ALL players will cause EA to delist the servers from the game browser. At this time, TG does not want our public servers removed from the game browser. On the private server TG has used this python hack, however the recent 1.01 patch seems to have disabled these weapons again and we have been unable at this time to provide the additional locked weapons.

2) To use the server variable "Allow Global Unlocks" would only unlock the weapons for those individuals who have earned the rank on the public ranked servers. Since TG does not provide a ranked server (See this thread for more info), we feel that it would provide an unfair disadvantage for those players who wish to play primarily on the TG servers.

any update on this and being able to use all the unlocks on the private server?
