BF2 SF unlocks in BF2

[whitedragon551]

Is it true that someone can log in to Special Forces with your account and play a round and when you log back into your regular BF2 game you will get the unlocks for SF?

Ive been trying to find a trust worthy person to do this with as I dont have SF and Im not paying $20 for an expansion pack when the base game only costs $10.

It is true, but its against the law... Its a volition of the EULA for Battlefield and is basically piracy...

How is that against the EULA and how the heck is it piracy?

The definition of piracy is:

Software piracy is the illegal copying, distribution, or use of software

By having someone use an account to play a game and get you unlocks has nothing to do with that. They own it. Thats like saying its piracy for them to use their own account to get the unlocks. Thats basically what they did, but with someones permission. That person had to give them the user name and password which isnt illegal. I didnt illegally use the software. I legally gave my username and PW to someone who owns the game.

Read the EULA; IIRC there is a section in there which covers cases like this in broad terms...

But its like piracy in that you are getting something for your game for nothing. And that "Something" you would normally need to pay for... I'm simply telling you what EA & DICE considers it...
