Hints and tips for a noob

weiland79

Hi guy's

I started playing Battlefield 2 last night online (PS3) and i suck big donkey balls. So bad infact that i kept getting kicked from games all night. This is mostly down to the fact that i didn't have a clue what i was doing.
I'm hoping someone can give me a few hints on tactics and basic gameplay or if you wouldn't mind a complete muppet on your team,to add me to your friends list Weiland79.
I am not new to online games and am fairly handy at COD but that is clearly a different type of game altogether.

Thanks in advance.

(Assuming you mean BC2 here)

If you're just starting off, the other players will have higher ranks which means they'll have unlocked advantages such as the various scopes, faster healing etc.

For the first few ranks of each class, you'll be missing basic kit such as ammo packs and defibs. Once you have these you'll be able to aid teammates more and in turn score more.

I'd suggest sticking close to squadmates, they'll be better equipped and know the approaches better. Or worst case they'll give the enemy something else to shoot at.

I only started playing it yesterday to! its awesome...

I found myself getting kicked around to... didn't have good enough weapons etc... i.e. i went sniper, and i could hit them, but unless i scored a head shot i didn't ever kill... then had to reload. And they would be gone by time I could get a second shot of... I played rush and leveled up until I got another sniper rifle giving me multiple shots and now i'm hitting top 2 in every event.

Basically as said grind through a few games until you unlock some stuff. Then you will be fine.

its hard on you own especially if your not with friends.
there an IRL clan on the xbox forum for just friendly games for some craic if you want to join up.skill doesnt matter either.
its way better this way because loan soldiers dont work on this
game. its all about team work


edit

for sum reason i didnt see you had it on ps3. find a few lads to play with you on ps3 and it will be way better

You need to get COD out of your head when playing any of the Battlefield games, they are totally different in terms of team play etc.

If you go as a lone wolf in battlefield, unless you know what your doing or are very handy with the steel, you will be crucified. Why? Because you will be going up against three of four other guys in a squad, who are all talking to each other and working as a team.

So my number one piece of advice is stick with your squad, get a bluetooth headset and talk to them. If one of your squad dies he can tell you where his killer is located allowing you to go get some revenge. Spot the enemy constantly for your teammates.

Number two - learn the maps, choke points, spawn points etc. Easiest way to do this without dying a lot is in a tank or an APC. Drive around the maps and learn the geography. Learn the best ways of navigating the maps. My favorite map is White Pass. There are certain places on that map that I wont go near because I will invariably be riddled with bullets.

Number three - pick a class that suits you. I have found a setup that works for me. Either assault or engineer (depending on the map). My primary weapon is the USAS shotgun (slag me if you dare but its the best gun in the game for close quarters), secondary is the MP93 (think thats what its called, its a handgun that fires in bursts), lightweight pack. On most days, I am first or second in most rounds with this setup. It may not work for you but its important to find what suits you.

Oh, and watch that video a few times...

Whatever the overall opinion of BF:BC2, I had one of those "this game is awesome" moments playing harvest day the other night, I was running through a field and it was literally like something out of band of brothers, tracer bullets flying everywhere, tanks and general mayhem. I couldn't stop smiling.

Stick with it and enjoy the carnage....

I saw much the same response in the playstation forum as the post above.

All valid points and a lot of help but i'd somewhat disagree with number 3, which is what the other lad had posted too.

While it's handy to find your best class, to win games and rack up team points it's important to pick the class that suits the current situation i.e if a squad member is in a tank, switch to engineer so you can keep the tank going as long as possible etc..

Also i find the medic is by far the best attacking class in rush.
Until I watched the video posted above, I didn't know that reviving someone pushed the number counter back up(i taught it was just saving time and keeping men on the front line, i had put 50 hours into the game without noticing that)

it is important to find a class that suits you but i do agree you must also do something to suit the squad. i play as recon or engineer and all ive left to do is platinum the vss with 400 more kills and the first engineer gun 9A91 or something? i'm nearly finished them classes with 50 more mortar kills and im not bothering much with the guided missile for engineer because its crap.
these classes suit me and i'm also not a camping sniper like most snipers on battlefield. i attack with the hand gun and get in and round the charge and snipe without a 12x scope because i dont need it as im so close to the battle. all handguns platinum'd is proof of this.
when im finished those classes i'm going to more on to medic and assault and change my gameplay to suit my squad that way.

and yes the usas is an awsome shotgun and most people only think its semi auto not fully auto.
lightweight is also better than the red dot or 4x scope. learn to get used to not using scopes and you will benifit more.

How come people pick engineer on maps with no vehicles? Are their weapons that effective compared to assault? Or do they just like the class/want to level up?

There'll always be people working on gaining bronze/silver/gold/platinum stars and the other badges/insignias. The SMG's are fairly nasty anyway, and shouldn't be underestimated. Plus even engineers can still take the G3 or M14 and act as an effective assault. Or then again, it's just someone abusing the Carl Gustav.

Keyzer

@gilberto_eire

Valid point on the choice and modification of classes.

Most likely a balance between my view and yours is the best option - however, no point in playing a specific class for a specifc map/situation if you are getting murdered repeatedly. Same applies if you play a certain class and contribute nothing to your team.

Most important word in the above is contribute - this is the major difference in BF compared to COD. You can run around killing people all you want but if you contribute nothing to your team then you are contributing nothing (edit - lol, just realised the repeat here)...

There's a reason why your kills dont show in the scoreboard until the end of game summary - while its nice to have a healthy KD, it means nothing if you lose every game...

i use engineer on classes so if theres a sniper in a building i can take out a rocket and ruin his spot, same if he's in a tree. using rockets will change maps completely if you take out all the decent recon spots.

lately i find poeple are only bothered about their kills. ive seen people standing around the charge waiting for someone to come near it instead of disarming it. or the charge is set downstairs and they stay sniping upstairs. this wrecks my head

Dublin_Gunner

10 Newbie rules.

1. Spot
2. Spot
3. Spot
4. join a squad
5. Stay with said squad
6. Revive / heal / repair / resupply team mates
7. Spot
8. Spot
9. Get some kills, and try not to die too often
10. Spot

That should get you ranking up in no time

LMAO....;)

If you insist on sniping then realise that you don't need to snipe from miles away, stay up the map with most of your team, even if you don't get that many kills, you will let your squad mates spawn on you.
Nothing annoys me more than spawning on the retarded sniper in my squad who is way too far back to be effective.

I team kill those ****ers and then they have no choice but to spawn with the squad. It really annoys me as your short 2-3 men when you're attacking.

1 There is no such game as Bad Company 3

2 BC2 is nothing like CoD

3 Battlefield 3 will be announced 1st March

4 BF3 will be a different kettle of fish.

Seconded - BF is chalk and cheese to COD, nothing similar at all in terms of gameplay...

• Don't snipe until you have a few ranks so you don't give away your tags so easily. If you do snipe never camp, after a kill or a miss move spot, most players will hunt you down, flank you and take your tags.
• Join a squad and help the squad
• Spawn on squad mates - always
• Throw down Ammo or Medic Packs
• Spot, Spot, Spot enemies, vehicles etc..
• Dont try to be Rambo, do not rush into areas alone
• Always approach areas from the flanks or hang back a little
• If your a medic let your sqaud mates charge in, then after they've died but wounded the enemies, kill the enemies and review your squad mates.

After you rank up a bit, try to get kills with as many differnet weapons to rank up quickly (try to get all bronse, silver, gold then platinum in each weapon)

Remember squad up, spot and help team mates. This will make for a much better game, for you and for others.

good tips.
cept f*ck the spotting and play hardcore

another tip is to watch if all your team mates die. stay a hide till some of them spawn. this way ye will be all nearer the base. some of the maps takeforever to walk so watch out for them dying on bigger maps and hang on a few seconds for them to rejoin you

How many Gold stars do you need for a Platinum?.... I'd guess 10, I'm on on 8 with the LMG but trying to Gold everything else out. Doubt you'd Platinum every weapon if it's at least 10 Golds, that 1000 kills per weapon.

I'm trying to get all the pins and badges. Most will come in time but some seem tricky like ''road kill 3 in a round'' and 500 shotgun kills(that's more a slow process).

After 100 hours I'm only L31, Yet I don't have a great deal of pins and badges to collect, 1 pin and maybe 15 badges and I'm only silver in all guns bar a few of the shotguns, G3's etc... I'd have taught finishing them would leave you at L50.... but I'm going to be well off after unless there's extra XP bonuses for completing everything

its not too bad to platinum them. about 15 hours be gun aint bad.
ive recon class finished and engineer. and then the tommy gun. rpg, custav,c4, mortar, grenade knife tanks and choppers platinm'd too. and all of the handguns too.
what a done was get all bronze first, then silver,, then gold, and then start to stick to the same gun in each class. you get very used to a certain gun and switching only messes that up.

How many hours have you put into it?

Are you like a BC2 version of those people who play COD solely when they're online and no less even a year down the line?.
Don't mean that in a smart way, just can't see how you could get circa 1000 kills per weapon without putting in nearly 1000 hours.

I'm at 100 hours now, I got a Platinum for Tanks yesterday which was 450 kills i think, highest weapon is LMG which i have at Gold 8 star, and when i first owned the game it was the only gun I really picked.

I find it's a bit of hassle to even get Gold in everything and get all the pins/badges(a badge only requires 2 Platinums, that seems fair enough to me, not everyone can put in the hours to get that many kills for Platinum for every gun)

My K/D ratio is over 1.00 but considering how long the games take and the fact that in some rounds you mightn't get much action, I couldn't possibly Platinum every weapon, it would require another 200-300 hours I'd say.
I'll be doing well to get ones like the 500 shotguns kills etc...

If you stick to one gun, you'll plat it in no time. I always switch, so only have a few plats.

AN94, 40mm Nade, Knife, tanks and plenty of gold stars.

He might play a lot yeah, but sure I stopped playing for about 5 months, didn't play from launch (as my PC was FUBAR at the time) and I'm rank 38.

If you play a couple of hours each night you rack up the hours fairly quickly.

And what badges are you talking about for 2 plats? There is only 1 badge with that requirement.

Ya but is it not 1000 kills for a gun?... if it is getting it for every weapon isn't going to be possible for the majority of players, there's just too many guns.

I'm doing a bit of switching now, but only to get Golds, I came back to it after 6 odd months at xmas and i had next to no engineer or recon done in my first play through so missing the tracer darts plants, C4 etc....

Ya One badge for the two platinum's that's what i meant, the other lad was saying to someone to platinum all weapons, i said at least in game they left it at 2 because your talking 100's and 100's of hours to max out every weapon.

I'll be happy enough doing the in game accomplishments which are time consuming enough then trying to Platinum every weapon... just need the 3 road kills in one round pin(seems tricky as most times i've tried knock someone down it just floats over them :rolleyes: plus you'll only get the ones throwing C4/ mines at you when they comes that close) and then the rest will come in time(500 shotgun kills, knives kills, C4, tracer plants etc...)

I cannot get that pin for the life of me!! And I need it for 2 badges! (the 40 unique pins, and the vehicle warfare or whatever its called for all vehicle pins).


I've ran over 100's of people, and the hit detection NEVER seems to get it unless you slowly roll over someone in a tank.

I'm on most nights, and TBH I hate hardcore. Its done in such a stupid way.

I don;t mind no minimap, or crosshairs on the guns (I use the sights anyway, so no biggie) but removing crosshairs form tanks and choppers etc is just plain stupid. Makes it next to impossible to aim - especially in Vietnam as the M-48 I think has the barrel to the side.

I just play regular 99% of the time, its more fun IMO.

Last I recall the body of the quads doesn't cause an impact and you need to aim with the tires. I managed it at the start of Valdez rush round fairly easy. And had a good laugh at the engy who stepped out from behind a concrete barrier to throw down a mine, only to learn that mines have an arm time causing him to go promptly beneath my wheels.

Maybe they've changed it since you last tried because the only time your left free-aiming is with the Grenade Launcher and Mounted MGs.
Tanks work as normal and choppers i can't comment on as i rarely get in them.

Apart from that it suits better players, was sick of killing someone and either that person knowing where i was or someone else seeing the combat on the mini map. You can still get your spot assists and it's easier to get Sniper kills(i'm good at hitting upper body but rarely hit the head and they normally get away then, i'm racking up the kills since switching to hardcore)

You can be spotted as well in normal mode even when your not visable to the spotter, they could be aiming at bushed spamming select, they manage to see you and all the team know where you are then, at least if someone gets lucky in hardcore it's only them who can see you.
And also i've often spotted someone but couldn't pin point the exact spot without the triangle as you'd be moving the crosshair fast enough

I think you can get the vehicles badge without road kills.... I only have 3 road kills from my pins left, there was another you could do in the same go, 3 kills with cars. But i parked a quad up in cover, sat on the back with a shotgun and got some stragglers running by.

Hmm, well I only played hardcore there last week, and had no crosshair on the tanks

I don't even play tanks that much, but when you're being raped by a chopper in Vietnam on hardcore, you need a tank to get rid of it!

Well its the wheels of hazard pin I need, which requires road kills.

Ah right as I got a vehicle (efficiency) 5000 points badge for just getting the kills sitting on a quad.

You can take down choppers with a medics gun in Vietnam?..... I've single handedly(in small numbers games after 12am) taken down a chopper in one clip with a medics gun a few times.

Choppers are seriously underpowered compared to BC2.... taking one down in that can be hard all right as they can do their circular flying **** while you can only hit them from a certain height(in a tank) and normal weapons don't seem to cause any damage .

I tried some Hardcore when i first had the game, but didn't take to it until recently, ya it sucks when you get killed and don't know where they are, but it works both ways and at least you can still pick up spot assists if someone kills the guy within a few seconds(which is all luck really)

Dublin_Gunner

Apart from the gun on the PBR Ive yet to see anyone take a chopper down in bc2:vietnam with a machine gun.

As you said they do.their circle crap and theyre invincible unless you hit them with a tank. Luckily OLIm quite proficient in my anti-chopper tank role he he

Not sure maybe it's different on the PC, but on the PS3 you can defo shoot down a chopper with any sort of weapon and that's not even on hardcore mode as i haven't played Vietnam since i switched.

I wouldn't even get in a chopper in Vietnam as they get shot down within a minute or two(was that way 2/3 weeks ago when i last played it anyway) as every bullet that hits it counts as damage, and you get the complete opposite in normal BC2 then where only 2/3 weapons can damage them.

I've even taken down one or two myself with one clip(of a 200 bullet Medic weapon) on a map with 3/4 people(which is all you get after 12am since we got such a **** matchmaking system)

i got the game 11 months ago. ive 525 hours up on it which is about 1 and a half hours a night. i did have fook all do do all summer when the weather wasnt good and i live in the back ar$e of nowhere so i did play it alot some days.
the reason why i did get that many guns platinum'd is because i play with the IRL clan on the xbox forum and we dominated most games and racked up serious amounts of kills each. my PB is 84 k and 27 D attacking valperaso using the G3.
i also had 6 weeks off over xmas and with all the crap snow i again put alottt of time into it concentrating on getting my defensive W/L ratio up and getting kills at the same time.
it really isnt hard to get so many platinum'd weapons. we played a clan about 6 months ago and a fella was level 50 with 600 hours up. now i think i play it too much but thats ridiculous

i also noticed i dont have grenades and mortar platinumed. i must have taught i was on gold 9 but was actually 8. fix that soon

Apart from the gun on the PBR Ive yet to see anyone take a chopper down in bc2:vietnam with a machine gun.

As you said they do.their circle crap and theyre invincible unless you hit them with a tank. Luckily OLIm quite proficient in my anti-chopper tank role he he

speaking form xbox its simple to take down a chopper. people have resorted to using it to get in behind the enemy base but its way to weak. nobody even uses the rpg to take it down. ive never seen one been hit with an rpg. 1 medic clip been fired infront of the chopper will do the job

Ah ya taught so, 500 hours would be beyond most players though.
Even with my heavy play for the first 2/3 mths and since xmas I'm only at 100 hours, getting to two platinum's is enough of a challenge.

Ya maybe they have it diff' on PC, but they are too easy to take down in Vietnam, they need to get the balance right between BC2 and Vietnam. Too lob-sided either game

most people have 300-500 or higher on the game who got it on launch day like me. who played it as their main game.
it took me 400 hours (ish) to get to level 50 which was my main goal of the game for me

Not on the PC. Choppers can seriously rape.

I'm pretty good at hitting them with tanks shells whcih 9/10 will blow them up.

I hit them regularly with RPG too - but you have to be good. RPG will take one down, but won;t blow it up - i.e they occupants can still jump out.

on xbox i know this will only work on BFBC2 not BCBC2 Vietnam. inn am its all about the medic class to take down choppers.in vanilla BF i love taking down choppers using the gustav alone. pretty easy if u practice

Hmm, well I only played hardcore there last week, and had no crosshair on the tanks

I don't even play tanks that much, but when you're being raped by a chopper in Vietnam on hardcore, you need a tank to get rid of it!

Well its the wheels of hazard pin I need, which requires road kills.

You have to be in first person mode. You get the crosshairs and the drop gauge in it. For choppers fly in third person and switch to first person when you're taking a target out.

Okay, that's cleaned up the thread and put it back on track.

I'v just started playing this games recently and have only realised that I have to kill someone with the melee attack to get a dogtag. After much trying and failing last night I managed to kill a person on level 32 i think it was. Anyway I never got the dogtag , do I have to do something else to make sure I get them.
Thanks
