BF2S Forums Your tips for a better BF2 experience

Pay attention to MY highlighted points not the edited quote in the OP

To the random:

Shut up and play.  We all know that anyone who killed you must be hacker.  That's the only explanation for how you manage to be killed 35 times a game. You're totally the best player ever and we are grateful you decided to grace us with your presence in our server   -however we'd end up banning the entire opposing team if we took your word for it.  Also respect server rules.  If you don't like them go elsewhere.  Just because you don't think there is an admin in game doesn't mean one isn't watching.  Just because you coward quit after ranting doesn't mean you didn't get banned.  Also spam spotting commanders really piss me off.  Hard to hear a nade landing at your feet, or a grappling hook being tossed up behind you through a constant broken record of "enemy unit spotted".  Be a team player.  Toss out medic packs and ammo kits.   Look around and be aware when you are engaging an enemy that there is probably another beading up on you, (keep moving and don't target fixate).  Wait...  I meant stand the fuck still when I shoot at you.

I'm pretty sure the following tricks still work =

Sticking your face in the wall (prone) when a grenade goes off next to you causes you to lose only half health.
You can also use the same method to bypass claymores too (prone).

Primary job of every squadleader (SL) is:
♦ to stay alive and provide spawnpoint for squadmemebers (SM)
♦ reaching the enemy flag without being detected

and primary objective of every squadmemeber (SM) is:
♦ capturing flags
♦ eliminating enemies
♦ revive, repair, etc

This is something we all know but it will not work without teamwork so heres what every squad member needs to know and follow. This is where this basic guide begins:

Rules:
1› Its very important to delay spawn unless told otherwise by the SL

2› Be a bait for enemy bullets, literally- if you see your SL has been spotted and compromised spawn in and provide covering fire so he can escape and provide a spawnpoint later on even if you die

3› Spot (Q+left mouse click): lots of people do not use this benefit or don't use it often enough to spot for themselves and for the team. If a SM is blocked after consecutively spotting then you know you haven't done your job as his teamate. When he spots couple of times its up to you to spot as well thus preventing him or others getting blocked for „spamming“ so you can continue spotting without interuption.

4› Play the kit that is most needed at the present situation: when playing with vehicles a combination of ATs and medics is needed. 3:1 in favour of the AT for quick and reliable elimination of enemy vehicles. If you are supporting armoured vehicles then an engineer is also a must in the squad.

5› Making sure you don't put your SL in a dangerous position:
When spawning on him only fire at the enemy if you have been spotted by the enemy or you have been ordered by the SL.

Important:
do not shoot from SL's position because one grenade will kill you and the SL and he will no longer be able to provide a spawnpoint.
There should always be a medic assigned specifically to make sure the SL stays alive. Meaning you will always have to have a close eye on him and minimap and revive him if hes down.
This medic should spawn in as he sees fit depending on your SL's situation even if told to delay spawn previously.


♦ make sure your SL stays alive and take his kit if you need to and revive him if hes down
♦ spot for your teammates and yourself and have a close look on your minimap
♦ make verbal communication with your teammates but do not spam
♦ never throw med/ammo packs next to your SL as the enemy might spot them and spam nades there

Hopefully this guide will be helpful to some at incoming scrim and other games. If you wish to add your tips just post here and I will add them and pin your name next to it as well.

- Splash damage is your friend.  It will spread outwards from wherever your round (nade, tank shell etc) hits.  Good shot placement will help you get more kills through splash damage.  It is useful when you see two men beside each other, but really comes into its own when getting people who aren't in your direct line of fire - a shot on the ceiling, ground or wall can kill
- Grenade launchers work best when used from a height looking down; they're easier to aim and a lot of people just don't look up.
- Avoid the meat grinder; rushing head-first into the closest enemy flag will get you killed.  Try and sneak past the first flag and cap flags somewhere in the middle; leapfrog, when you cap a rear flag you'll force them to fight on two fronts all of a sudden.  If BF2 is a game of chess, be like the knight and not like the pawn.

The spots system in BF2 is really fail... The spots don't go in complete straight lines... Sometimes I stand far from a flag and have to aim a bit to the right/left/up with the spot in order to actualy mark the enemy.
Hope you got my point

i noticed this too.  i think it might depend on whether there are any objects in between you and the enemy.

That makes it win. You can spot enemies you don't see.

Playing BF2 with DU makes for a better BF2 experience.

alot of your tips are more ranting in nature than tips.  saying 'don't spot every two seconds' as opposed to 'commanders piss me off' is much more helpful instead of just being annoyed.  also about respecting the rules or going elsewhere, i think the people interested in these tips are going to play the game the way it was intended.  unless you can speak for all the servers online (some of which have rules not geared for all players) you can't really promote this as a tip, since the audience will probably play by whatever rules are enforced anyway.

Never bunnyhop or dolphin dive - These are lil kid tactics that bitches use.  If your nutsack hasn't dropped yet and you do these things go play on a console.


If you spawn at a capable base take a quick look at the flag to see if it is going down before you take off somewhere else.  Defending a flag kill is worth an extra point.  Points are good.  Keeping the flags you do have helps your team winning, be a team player.

I will add more later.

- Sprint, rather than bunnyhop. The faster you move, the harder it is to shoot you.

Lol.

My tip: Try to obey server rules when you know you are against admins. That way you can usually play at least two-three rounds on the same server as opposed to being banned in the first

With the exception of those servers the other week then! We didn't break any rules yet we all got kicked and banned anyway

It eventually happens no matter how you obey the rules. That's why I kinda stopped caring about rules. It's just so lame to see that "BANNING X FOR CHEATING STATS" message since they can't figure any other reasons to ban players that are better than them..

Yeah sure, when are you available to play? I might be able to get on tonight at some point.
