Exactly, the game is all about altering your tactics for the benefit of your team as a whole. If one thing is repeatedly failing. Try a different tactic. Just don't resort to C4ing the UAV. That's just retarded.EvilRyu2099 wrote:For some reason, on certain rush maps, I find myself using the G3 with upgraded explosive C4 or mortar fire.. I know I could use the exact same pack as assault, but I love killing people in what looks like a teddy bear suit(aka gilly suit)... I do snipe, but I have the spot scope and only do it on open maps where I can either provide defense or offense for my teammates(maps with tanks help also)... I get irritated when I spot basically the whole team and my offense, or defense are still getting slaughtered, so at that point I either play as assault with the m16 or medic with the Uzm and join in with either getting beasted, or actually changing the momentum of the game... I usually use the engineer class on maps where I'm playing defense and I know that the points are limited with narrow paths in which I can lay out anti-tank mines.. Once you put 2 mines in each path in a good spot, you rack up a bunch of kills of idiots who try to rush the point in vehicles..Niode wrote:
People who snipe on BC2 aren't actually doing anything to benefit their team. The good recon player is the one who spots enemies on the battlefield helping his team mates take them out. If you're a Recon and your finger isn't fucking glued to the Q/back/select button then. FUCK YOU. You aren't doing your fucking job. I don't care if you've just spent 5 minutes setting up the perfect marksmen head shot "WOOHOO OMG +400 points for one kill" Yeah, great, you've just provided absolutely nothing to your attacking team, and just one measly ticket. When I've just spent 5 minutes spotting 10 people, half of which got killed, I've taken 3 people out who attempted to disarm the mcom and then ran up behind an enemy tank and C4'd the shit out of it.

I have a bunch of tactics that I use that I don't see other people using. I'm not going to reveal them here because I don't want people stealing them. I've managed to take both mcoms within the first two minutes of play on a particularly good day (yes, on a full server) with little to no support from my team. A cool 750+ points in a minute - can't go wrong.
If you're repeatedly getting sniped. Change your tactic, analyse what you're doing to make you such an obvious target. Are you blindly following your squad mate? Are you running in and out of cover rather than slowly crouch sneaking through the brush? Are you firing rockets or other weapons (IE the M95 or the tracer dart) that instantly give your position away?
If all else fails, USE SMOKE. Seriously. It still surprise me how little this extremely useful tool is used. Little to no cover over the mcom? Smoke. Alone guarding an armed mbox with more than 1 entrance? Smoke. Pot shots being taken at you from an unknown location but need to stay alive for your squadies to spawn? Smoke. Stumble upon a camping wookie (read: Recon) that doesn't know you're there? Smoke to the back of the head - being killed by a non-lethal weapon has got to be humiliating...
