10 Helpful Tips to Survive Battlefield: Bad Company’s Multiplayer

March 7th, 2010 at 11:00 am · 13 Comments

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or BFBC2 for short is upon us. The sequel offers more game modes, maps, weapons, vehicles and terrain types than ever before. The question is: How will you survive and thrive online?

I have ten helpful tips to keep you alive and leveling up.

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.

    Engineers: Get in the gunner seat or a passenger seat of a vehicle so you can quickly jump out and repair. Being the main driver and abandoning your vehicle leaves the passengers at risk.

    • Also, if you’ve got a helicopter loaded up with your squad, if the engineer is just standing in the vehicle (i.e. not piloting or on either gun) they can repair it from the inside.

    Don’t blow up your teammates vehicles, just because you want them. You won’t get many friends, and you need all the help you can get.

    I’ll be testing these tips out tonight. Gamertag: Paradigm1313, see you there guys.

    Beta Tester’s Protip: In rush, stick C4 to the front of a quad bike, ram it into the objective, jump off and blow it up. Even if you kill yourself, you get points way bigger than the ones you lose for suicide, and after 2 successful hits you destroy the objective completely.

    “If your heliocopter gets ” Writer tip: Use spell checker. ;p

    Man I’d love to try these tips out, but EA decided to host their servers on a Commodore 64 or something. At least when a host quits in MW2 it only effects 1 game, and not every game for everyone on Xbox Live.

  • piston11792 says:

    These are some great tips. Too bad I’ve only been able to play this game 3 times because of server issues since I bought it

  • M0neyMachine says:

    If you can fly a chopper, don’t try and screw things up for your team.

    If your squadmate is piloting the chopper you can spawn directly into the gunner seat.

    As a medic don’t kill your teammates, just to revive them again so you can get xp. You end up screwing the game for everyone.

    Mark Your Target!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spotting enemies & objectives can really help on the battlefield by either helping your team notice enemy movement/position & give your team extra points for completing squad commands. Don’t forget people the BACK button is your friend…..
