1. Objective Based, Not Kill-BasedContrary to how a lot of people play Battlefield, killing members of the other team is NOT your objective. Killing other players is a fringe-benefit of completing objectives.
Your overall objective is to destroy targets dotted across the map, usually two crates in each zone. These crates represent your holy crusade. If you’re on the attacking team, every thing you do as a player should be geared towards taking down a crate. Any activity not related to taking down a crate is a waste of time. If you217;re on defense, saving those crates is your prime directive.
Why This is Effective: The entire game is based around destroying or saving crates. Destroy all the crates as the attacking team and you win. Prevent the attacking team from destroying your crates and you win. Winning has nothing to do with how many players you kill, unless you are on defense, where every kill will slowly bring you towards victory, but not at the expense of losing crates.
2. Hey Rambo, Join a Squad!There is zero reason not to join a squad, nor is there a single benefit to playing solo.
Why This is Effective: Joining a squad allows you to spawn with any living squad-mate currently playing on the map. If you have squadie who has already penetrated enemy lines then you can select him and spawn right next to his location, giving him a much-needed hand. This saves you a ton of time by not forcing you to run or drive from the initial base all the way to the objective. With a full squad of four guys, you usually have three good spawning options, allowing you to appear closer to the action. This ensures you keep the pressure on the opposing team. If you elect to not join a squad, then you will always spawn at a base, costing you valuable time.
Additionally, joining a squad opens up a ton of extra scoring modifiers that will greatly increase your point total.
3. Proper Spawning
A lot of people just button-mash the spawn button until they return to action, giving little thought about where they are appearing or why. When you die and the time to spawn arrives, analyze the map and see what assets you have available in the form of vehicles or aircraft. If there is an unused tank at your main base then you should spawn there and use the asset. If the base is empty of assets, then spawn with a member of your squad.
Why This is Effective: One sure way for a team to lose a round of BC2 is by not using all available assets. If your team is not using available tanks, helicopters or UAV, then your team is going to lose. Nothing is more depressing than watching your entire team just go running by all the heavy equipment as they make their long journey towards an enemy position.
If you have a squad-mate in a tank or copter then you can spawn within his vehicle, assuming a position is free. You’ll wrack up extra points working as a unit.
4. Play Your Class
Every class in BC2 has special abilities that can make all the difference between victory or defeat. Additionally, using these abilities will earn you extra points for faster leveling. If you’re a medic, then you should be dropping med-kits where your teammates are making a stand, plus reviving dead teammates as they go down. If your an engineer then you should be using your wrench to fix damaged vehicles. Pay attention to the radar, as icons will appear that indicate what needs doing by your class. If you see a wrench icon, that means a friendly vehicle is in need of repairs.
Why This is Effective: Having an engineer repair a tank while the tank blasts enemy positions is a very effective use of the class. Done properly, a tank can withstand a great number of direct hits. Add a second engineer to the repair process and your virtually unstoppable.
5.Move as a Unit
You’re not going to get anywhere in BC2 if your team doesn’t work as a unit. This means clumping together, staying close to friendly vehicles and serving as escort. Tanks are great to hide behind and are often your only cover when breaching an enemy position.
Why This is Effective: Ground troops gain the benefit of cover. Tank commanders gain the benefit of having their exposed sides defended.
6.Planting when the Time is Right
When your on Offence and in desperate need to plant to win the round but is unable to even get close to the bomb... USE THE SMOKE GRENADE, loads of people doesnt know that the normal Assault kit weapons can be equipped with a 40mm Smoke Grenade instead of the 40mm Fragmentation Grenade (noobtube). Just Choose Smoke grenade and the Grenade vest so you atleast have 5 smokes to fire (and it resupplys faster from ammo crates than normal 40mm Grenades). You will be surpriced by the amount of Smoke it can put out Giving you and the the teammates excellent cover to give a mad rush to the bomb and Plant/C4 it
7. When Objective is Set to Explode, Unleash Hell!
You’re on offense and one of the objective crates has been successfully lit. The countdown to explosion commences. Instead of venturing elsewhere, you should remain focused on that crate as you know the enemy will be trying to defuse the charge. Use everything at your disposal, grenades, cover-fire, tanks, UAV…keep fire directed on the objective crate, killing any and all who try to get in the way. Even toss some C4 at the bomb and Blow it up to get some Easy Defusing kills and even get some "Damaging M-Com Station" points
8. Assault Team Loaded with Recon Players Will Lose…Every Time
The problem with Recon players is that they are perfectly content to sit a mile away on a hill, taking pot shots at the enemy, which isn’t worth many points because this is not Modern Warfare 2. Problem is, this doesn’t help secure objectives. You simply won’t get anywhere with too many Recons on your team.
If you find yourself in a game with way too many Recon’s ruining the round, then I suggest you simply leave and find a different round that is more balanced. Of course, you could always ask players on your team to switch classes but I think we both know that has little chance of actually working. So why suffer? Just leave.
--------- Notes for PILOTS ----------
1. If you see a heli on the base, dont steal it from other people, learn to fly first. What i mean is, take it only if noone needs it. Or join an empty server and practice.
2. If you are a fine pilot, WAIT FOR A GUNNER for gods sake, you waste your heli by flying alone. Just get into it and wait a little. If there's too hot, try to fly away and wait for a squad member.
3. If you are a good pilot, don't forget to land your Heli and repair it. The gunner will not steal it from you, unless he's a kid thinking "LOLOLO I STEAL THA HELI PEW PEW".
4. Never go too low, you make urself an easy target for everything that shoots.
5. Never stop flying, never hover still, if you stop flying, you make yourself an easy target for tracer darts, TOWs, machinegunners, snipers, and many more.
6. If you are trying too shoot an enemy helicopter, you should let your gunner do it. Keep your nose up so he can shoot him. And never go lower then the enemy helicopter, you make yourself an easy target for their gunner.
7. If you land your heli outside the map, and jump out, do not sprint back as you see the "Get back into battle" message, the map area is extended for helis, so try to repair it in less then 8 seconds then jump in again.
8. If enemy UAV is in the air, hover over it's Remote Control center so yuor gunner can take the pilot out.
9. If enemy chopper is present, stay at max altitude and try to fly sidewards if you can. The one who stays at max altitude, wins the gunner battle.
10. Remember to destroy the enemy chopper on its spawn. Come back and check it every 1 and a half minutes.
--------- Notes for GUNNERS ----------
1. Allways fire at red triangles, no matter how far they are, there is almost no bullet drop for the gunner.
2. Allways fire at possible enemy positions even if you don't see them.
3. Watch the anti-air guns, they are very deadly.
4. If you want to fly BUT can't, get into the heli and swith seat by hitting F2 and let someone else fly it.
5. Please don't steal your pilots Heli when he's repairing it. If he's good enough to land it, he might be better then you, or know the situation on the battlefield.
6. Keep your eyes open and watch for enemy helis, as you see one - use voice comm. (or spot) to inform to your heli pilot and remember, shooting it is the priority.
7. If your pilot has landed outside the map, dont jump out, because you will see a "Go back into battle" countdown. If you do, DON'T SPRINT BACK TO THE BATTLE AREA - The map is extended for Helis, so just get back in and don't leave your pilot alone.
8. Allways keep your eyes for an enemy UAV, with alternate fire unlock it's a deadly chopper killer. If your pilot is hovering over its control center, kill the uav pilot. It's the first priority.
And turn that damn bloom off if you can't se any Shit! Go into settings.ini in your documents folder and set Bloom to FALSE.

The FOV setting in settings.ini is vertical instead of horizontal. That’s why 90-100 degree FOVs look so fish-eye compared to most games. However, changing vertical FOV does proportionally change horizontal FOV.
