Some Tips & Tricks for Bad Company 2

[DevilsRefugee]

Ok, so when you first start things either go wrong, or whatever, so here is some quick info if you are just starting out.

1 - the bloom is way over the top. I personally have disabled it for now, until its turned down a wee bit.
to turn it off, open my docs/bfbc2beta/settings.ini and find "bloom=true" and change it to false.

2 - The voip does not work yet.

3 - The server browser is very slow, and sometimes you cannot join an apparent server, showing slots, and sometimes you can join apparent full servers, its all just trial and error, find a server with say 25-28 players..that normally works for me.

4 - The uav goes up using R and using F.

5 - Sometimes when you log in to EA, it will not show your actually rank (may say rank 1) but when you join a game, you will be at your actual current rank.

6 - There is hardcore servers, they have HARDCORE in the server name.

If i think of anything else i will add, if you know anything i have not mentioned please feel free to share

damn, just had a ctd using the server browser, this game can be tempermental at times, but hopefully the retail will run a lot better

Pressing E will blow up the UAV even if you landed it

Spamming Q when using a machine gun turret in the tank yields good results.

If you're lucky enough to be in a decent squad check what people are playing as before you respawn. If there is no medic spawn as a medic etc. If you have a squad member alone in a tank spawn as an engineer.

You can blow up anti vehicle mines by shooting them. Do so as tank drivers have a hard time seeing them if they're in a pot hole or on the other side of a slope.

Any one got any tips for taking out Apaches? They're really hard to rpg. Any one tried to just sniper the pilot? Of course tank machine gun turrets would seem like the logic option but oh so many clueless players.. They just jump in them and drive away with no passengers... Then they try to reverse away from the helicopter heading towards them (surely heading towards it thus going underneath and out of it's targeting area would be better! Then the gunner can attack while it turns around for a new pass!)

I think so 

Plus if theres a choke situation the trees and building get flatten under the mortar and tank fire etc, so even though your playing the same map each time its different.

only 100000000 points to go for my next level  - think its capped for the beta ofc they have to save something for release
