I think it applies across the board, from what I've seen since if you go into bfhq before joining any server and look at your unlocks, it shows them all unlocked.

So yeah, the global unlock applies when you are connected to the EA Master Server, not what game server (ranked or unranked) you're on.

I just got done playing a couple of rounds with all the unlocks. Kind of disappointing seeing a recruit run around shooting weapons I've played hours to get.

It works on all servers, not just ranked ones. We had all the unlocks during the TGU session earlier.

Here's the consolation. He will lose those weapons starting Monday at midnight. You will still have those weapons.

You win.

FYI, when you set-up an unranked server you can grant all unlocks to every player, regardless of what they've earned. To do this on ranked servers requires EAs intervention, most likely on the master server to issue a temporary grant to all players. (Which is why all unlocks show up in BFHQ).

I believe that during the scrim the server will be unranked since you cannot password protect a ranked server. The admins can then allow all unlocks to all players if they choose to do so; this is one of many options.

i don't believe this is true. i think you can either grant (a) no unlocks (b) first tier unlocks or (c) the unlocks that players have gathered.

but maybe i just misunderstood.

This is what EA says:

XI. Min & Max unlocks commands
==============================
These commands can only be used on Unranked dedicated servers and allow the server admin to grant or restrict the use of unlocks, whether or not those unlocks have been earned by the player on a Ranked server.
The syntax for minimum unlocks is as follows:
sv.MinUnlockLevel <value>
The value range is 0 to 1. Each value has the following effect:
0 – Players will not be given any unlocks unless they have earned them on a ranked server.
1 – Players will receive the first tier of kit unlocks, the first player ability unlock and the first squad leader unlocks.
The syntax for maximum unlocks is as follows:
sv.MaxUnlockLevel <value>
The value range is -1 to 5. Each value has the following effect:
-1 – Turns off the feature.
0 – Players have no unlocks regardless of how many they have earned on ranked servers.
1 – Players are limited to the first tier kit unlocks, first ability unlock and first squad leader unlock that they have received from playing ranked servers.
2 – Players are limited to the second tier kit unlocks, second ability and second squad leader unlock that they have received from playing ranked servers.
3 – Players are limited to the third tier kit unlocks, third ability and final squad leader unlock that they have received from playing ranked servers.
4 – Players are limited to the final tier of kit unlocks and fourth ability that they have received from playing ranked servers.
5 – Players are able to use all the unlocks that they have received from playing on ranked servers.

I'll have to experiment some more after the week-end is over since this free unlock for everyone is skewing things no matter what I set the server at. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Cheers
