Bad Company 2: Techniques

I love this game and I am posting about how to get an upper hand on your opponents by doing a few things a different way:

Sniping

All of the sniper rifles pretty much suck except for the following models, which are all bolt action rifles:

1. M24 - the first gun you get is pretty good

2. GOL - this is the 2nd to last gun, awesome gun

3. M95 - this is the last gun you get and the most powerful

Tips:

Don't fire unless it is a sure thing, this needlessly alerts the enemy and can blow your cover.

Every shot should be a head shot. Firing a second or third time can really blow your cover.

Do your best to calculate and factor in gravity, your bullets will indeed arc down to the ground.

Use the cross hair properly, if you can't spot them (pressing select) they are too far away, this means aim above their head and compensate for gravity.

No shot is too far away to make, just try.

If you can't shoot them, bomb them with mortars.

Always use your motion sensors.

Explosives Techniques

You can put C4 on just about anything, this being the case take out rush objectives or tanks with C4.

You can strap C4 to a UAV and fly it over to the objective, plop the UAV onto the objective and blow it up.

You can strap 2 C4 minimum to any tank and blow it up.

You can strap C4 to an ATV, drive it into anything (like a tank) and blow it when ready.

Tanks are more useful than just blowing shit up, depending on the tank usually you have two types of fire if you are the driver. You can destroy objectives with the tank, you can run people over such as engineers or sneaky snipers.

Always clear away things that block your sight, as stupid as it sounds, clear away trees, they are just another place for the enemy to hide.

Standing shielded machine guns are your friend. You can really mow down enemies with this thing. Clear trees from your view and take far shots, chances are you will kill them.
