BF2S Forums Engineering: A comprehensive guide

Oh so the engi wiki is yours.


Besides, AT is the only one that can take tanks head on. Engineers and Spec Ops are indirect in a sense. They must put something down before the kill can happen. AT can fire their rockets. Fell free to add to your wiki :-)

I added a bit about the wreches reloading time and updated it a bit this morning

5. The glitch and bump!

The Glitch and bump as I like to call it is when, although you have walked over to an asset of your team and got the double ring, yet it doesn't repair. I believe this is a glitch (correct me if im wrong) but it can be fixed by taking a vehicle and simply bumping into it and it will be indirectly repaired if you stay in the vehicle.



As you can see the UAV was being stubborn and not repairing, so I took a Desert Raider and bumped this byatch!!

I dont believe this is a glitch, its just that you can destroy commander assets below 0% HP (-100%). So when you start repairing and it doesnt look like it is its because you are repairing form say -50% health to 0% health. This happens when spec opps use more the 2 C4's or use 2 when the commander asset is already smoking etc. I personlally love it when spec ops do this because you can get 2 repair points from the one commnader asset sometimes.

Also repairing from inside a vechile is best because.
a) you can repair mutipple things
b) you always repair at max speed
c) you can repair things from further away
d) you can do other things while repairing... eg sit in gunners seat and defend against incoming troops or command.

Well, If I Missed It, 2 Repair Points For The Essex, Just Sit Back And Get Those Medals, Engineers FTW.

(MP7 = The Best) .

The Essex as explained above can also be damged to negative 100% HP so to fullly repair it you can get 2 repair points but this is not the standard amount, and it must be dmg alot more.

OH and MP7 smokes donkey balls on steriods.

i didn't actually know that bout the commander assets... i should remember that when i give up b/c it's not repairing

Oh its repairing alright don't give up and he's right it is way better to repair anything while in a vehicle.

Indeed. Usually a good commander will tell squads to fix the bridge or place a repair marker. I think I mentioned that there are no points t be had from most things....but....ummm..think how rewarding it'll be!!!

Good guide - I knew most of what you'd put in it, but some good tips to be had.

I still get lots of punishes cause Aust servers wont let friendlies drive over mines without exploding.

A tip for US servers though, put your mine next to an enemy mine, the enemy tank driver will just see his and keep on driving over it.

Nope. Vanilla and EF also appy, I just demonstrated on Warlord. It is not dangerous when approaching a claymore from the rear or the side, it is only the cone at the front (if you want Ill put a sorta diagram up) and you prolly want someone covering you when your repairing.

In the summer holidays, I will write a guide on the basis of my engi and assault guides for each class!!

And it'll be Kits: a comprehensive guide!
