Battlefield Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Tips

Need some help taking out enemy squads in Battlefield Bad Company 2 online multiplayer? Well then you are in luck! Follow our tips guide to boost your kills and rise through the ranks at rapid speed.

Hulk is angry!
One of the best things about Battlefield Bad Company is its destructive environments. The developers crammed the maps full of buildings with nooks and crannies with destruction in mind, so don’t put their hard work to waste. Why go in after an enemy when you can blow them out? Taking out a wall will not only land you a kill, it will keep you alive to slay another. So don’t be gentle, Hulk smash!

This aint no stinkin’ Call of Duty
In Call of Duty Modern Warfare you can get away with running around like a chicken with its head cut off, but not in Battlefield. While both games are similar in some ways Battlefield is a bit more tactical, so you must adjust accordingly. Try relaxing a bit, Battlefield is action packed, but its not a constant kill/die/respawn fest like CoD. Take your time and only fire when you have a clear shot and are sure you will land the kill. This will bump up your kill to death ratio and cut down on your time sitting in the respawn lobby.

Being a creep is good
Are Snipers getting you down? Don’t worry, we have a tip just for you. When the maps seem crowded with Snipers keep a low profile and creep around. Maneuver your way through buildings where Snipers will have trouble landing a solid hit on you. Once you are in their building climb up to their rooftop perch and have your way with them. They’ll be too focused looking through their scope that they won’t even have noticed you right under their nose.

Cover is your new best friend
Just because everything has the potential to be blown to smithereens doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use cover at all times. Buildings are great places too hide, but aren’t the only pieces of cover that are effective. On city levels use concrete walls and burned out cars as cover, anything that puts that little something extra between you and a bullet is great. Be sure not to forget to use the trees and densely foraged fields to hide from your enemies. Sometimes crouching in a bush can be even more useful than an entire house.

Follow bullet trails
Enemy fire heading your way is never a good thing, but it can be used to your advantage. Keep a keen eye out for bullet trails from launched RPGs, snipers, and other weaponry. Fully automatic weapons are a bit tougher to catch from afar, but you should be able to spot Sniper fire fairly easy.

Don’t waste precious resources
There is no point in unloading entire clips of primary ammunition into enemy tanks. Even if there is only a slither of health left on it you most likely won’t cause it much harm. Instead, lob grenades, launch RPGs, and fire off your secondary rounds to do more damage. If you have some sort of other explosive like C4 now is the time to use it. Save your primary ammo for ground troops and smaller vehicles like Quads, not tanks and large trucks.

Smart Spawn
Randomly spawning onto the battlefield is not always your best option. Use your teammates positions to get to the action quicker. There is no sense in gunning across the map every time to get where the enemy troops are located. Save yourself the time and frustration by using your teammates to your advantage, that’s what they are there for after all. With that said, sometimes the best bet is to get away from the action for a moment to approach the target at a different angle, this is when you should randomly respawn onto the map.

Know when to quit!
When you are in a tank, or any vehicle for that matter, you don’t have make it your grave. What I mean is, use the vehicle to get off a couple of frags and then bail before you go out in a fiery death. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had half my squad decimated after they failed to exit before it went up in smoke. Get in, take care of business, and then get out of there!

Advanced Tank Warfare
Everybody wants to drive the tank and when the enemy has control of it everyone wants a piece of it. Well I’m going to give you a hint that should score you a few extra kills pretty easily. When an enemy squad has control over the tank don’t attack it directly. You heard me correctly, don’t attack. Instead what you are going to focus on is picking off the enemy attackers that are swarming around and working hard at taking it down. It’s a win-win situation. The enemy is too busy hurling heavy artillery towards the tank to notice you off to the side picking them off one by one and when they do manage to destroy the tank they did all the hard work for you.
