First unlock: 1000
Second unlock: 10500
Third unlock: 25200
Fourth: more...

About what weapons to unlock...
The G36C is a really good weapon to unlock, but I do not feel that it gives that awfully much to the SF class.
The PKM as really a weapon to unlock if you are playing as support a lot, it will wipe out anyone with M249 or the RPK-74. Too bad all support weapons are so inaccurate.
The L85A1 is absolutely one of the best unlocks if one is playing a lot as medic. That was my first unlock and I am still playing as a medic mostly.

The M95 sniper is a one shot-one kill weapon if you hit the head but generally sniper takes a lot of training before you can kill good with it.

Oh btw I have 23461points (thats about 94% of the required to get Sergeant).

WOW! I only have 3700 points! DO I have any HOPE at all! LOL That is a lot of points to get. I thought I played a lot too! I am a pretty good shot with sniper rifle, I always find sniper hard to do if there is any lag what so ever in the server. Almost impossible to get kills.

Later and thx.

That blows. That's all I need is to have more points to make between levels. I think they should make more levels or a way to buy weapon unlocks. Buy within the game that is. But maybe that is more than they want to deal with.

I tried to find a server that unlocks all weapons, but I didn't find any. I can set up a server to allow unlocks that are earned on ranked servers but that is all I can figure out. Short of tampering with the code, which I would never do, I don't think there is a way to play with the unlocked weapons.

Also, on another note, anyone hear about the add on due out this fall (November 2nd, to be exact.)?? I know it is a special forces add on, but that is about it. Aparently, we will be able to repel out of choppers, but that is all I know. Anyone have a link that describes it or knows what will be included in the add on??

Thx.

p.s. Anyone know how to change your name in the game? to show a clan initials or something? If I join a clan I would hate to have to change start over to change my initials. Know what I mean??!!

Thx.

The namechange feature will be added in the next update that is due to october. I think that they will LOWER the requirements for ranks and not make them higher, that was what I meant...

Battlefield: Special Forces is an expansion pack that will be released sometime in December all over the world. As the name suggest there will be focus on Special Forces in the game, meaning to attack chopper, no big tanks only jeeps, buggys and perhaps a transport chopper or two.
New classes, 6 different armies or something like that, grapling hook, zip-line, nightvision and teargas will also be added to the game.

I saw a promo-video of the expansion pack. Teargas and nightvision looks great and also the hook and the zip-lines will be great.
I know what i give myself for christmas. :-)
