Bad Company 2 kicks alot of arse. Yesterday, I finished the single player campaign, and was very impressed. While I would rate the single player maybe an 8 out of 10, I rate the multi player a 9 or 10. I love it. The first Bad Company was great, but BC2 is an improvement in every way. I cannot recommend it highly enough for fans of shooters. There is so much variety in this game. So many ways to rack up points, and to achieve the objectives.
I will say first up, that I'm far from being a great player, or a winner, or my gamertag does not contain the letter x (singular or in multiples of 3), but I do have a few tips for players. Not all of these tips were born from my brain (I got the list of 10 from Sarcasticgamer.com), but I am posting that list, and adding a few of my own...
10. In any gametype, stay close to the medic. Not only will they keep you on the battlefield, but they’ll get mad points for resuscitating you as well.
9. If your heliocopter gets blasted out of the sky, you can still jump out before it crashes into the ground and survive by pressing A (360) or X (PS3) to deploy your parachute while in the air.
8. In Rush and Conquest hitting the select button to designate a target location gives added xp to the attackers or defenders of that point. There are also bonuses and Achievements attached to taking a selected target.
7. In Rush, you don’t have to blow up the M-Com, you can also destroy the structure it is in. Sometimes its easier to blow up the whole building.
6. Play any class you want, because as you level up, you’ll get a pool of guns that you can use with any class. Want a shotgun and a ghille suit? You can do that!
5. Turn your aiming sensitivity up about two notches. The default sensitivity is way too slow.
4. When you see an enemy, press the select button. Not only will it put a big orange arrow pointing out the target, but your squad will see it as well. Great for counter sniping and you get 20 points for a spotting bonus if a squadmate kills that guy.
3. Stick with your squad. Keeping each other alive is priority. Revive them, spawn on them, spot for them. Do these three things to max your score and bet the best squad bonus every round.
2. Do not leave an area with a vehicle without picking up other teammates. All vehicles benefit from additional passengers and you don’t want to be “that guy.”
1. All ammo types fire on an arc. Tank shots, missles, bullets will gradually lose speed and hit the ground at some point. You fight a lot at distance, so compensate for that when shooting from distance.
Now for the Canuckistan pro-tips:
- An engineer can repair a helicopter from the inside. Just make sure you are not in the driver or gunner seats. Be a passenger. Do the right thing.
- Place tracer darts on enemy vehicles. Not only will it let your team know where this vehicle is, you get 30 points for a successful dart hit. Rocket launchers (apart from basic rpg) will home in on a traced vehicle. Every kit can use the dart gun as the secondary weapon.
- Have diverse squads. Each class has it's pros & cons. Each class has it's own ways of directly supporting other people: Engineer has the repair drill, Medic has health packs & defib paddles, Assault can distribute ammo boxes, and the Recon class can use the Motion Sensor. There are many points to be had by assisting your team mates. Stick together.
- Medics: Throw as many health packs around as you can. This will increase your chances of healing your team mates. Even without knowing it. Also, stick with your team, to maximise heal/revive points.
- Engineers: It's better for your team that you don't drive the vehicle, as when you jump out to repair, it leaves the passengers vulnerable. Be a passenger/gunner. Do the right thing.
- If you can, steal enemy vehicles instead of destroying them. The vehicle cannot respawn, if it has not been destroyed.
- If you cannot drive/fly... Don't!
- Shooting team mates with a tracer dart is only funny the first time.
These tips should go a long way to making you all winners. Hopefully I will see you on the Battlefield soon. Hit me up with a game invite on xbox live.
