Game Modes
Rush -- The Rush game mode consists of an assault force attempting to destroy pairs of objectives. By destroying the two initial objective crates, a secondary set of objectives will open and the assault continues. Repeating this process will open up the third and then final pair of objectives. The assaulting team wins by destroying all objectives, while the defensive gains a victory by stopping the assault.
Conquest -- Conquest is the classic Battlefield game type where two teams battle each-other over control of outposts.
Both teams start with a full bar of health which falls slightly each time a team member is killed. The more control points are owned by the opposing team, the more team health is lost each per death. Each map has series of these control points scattered throughout the landscape, and a team can gain control over a territory by standing near the outposts flag pole when there is no members of the opposing team in close proximity of the control point.
Squad Deathmatch -- Squad Deathmatch is a brand new multiplayer mode in the Bad Company series. In this game mode, 4 squads of 4 players each race each other to be the first to reach 50 kills. The center of each Squad Deathmatch map contains one Infantry Fighting Vehicle, and squad mates can spawn on the outer edges of the map or on their squad mates.
Squad Rush -- Squad Rush is similar to rush in that it is focused on attacking and defending M-Com objectives. There are a number of differences however. Each team can only have 1 squad for a maximum of 4vs4. The levels are also smaller, and contain only two sections with a single M-Com objective. The matches are designed to be fast-paced and hectic providing a high level of instant intense action.
Maps
Panama Canal
Modes: Conquest / Squad Rush
Type: Infantry / Vehicle
Setting: Industrial
Units in contact are being rotated out as a result of combat fatigue. Weeks of fighting have left the harbor in ruins and the surrounding area littered with destroyed equipment. Armored movement is hampered and deadly kill zones mare the ground. U.S Forces are staging an assault of the industrial port with the objective to seize, retain and exploit the area. Control of the canal will allow larger-scale Strategic Operations along the South West Pacific coast.
Laguna Alta
Mode: Conquest
Type: Infantry / Vehicle
Setting: Woodland
Several days ago a large Russian counter attack overran U.S. Camp “Christopher” and destroyed a supply train carrying vital equipment. U.S Forces are mustering to recapture the area. They are trying to establish a buffer zone near the woodlands so their Battle Group can move unimpeded across the bridge connecting the opposing high ground. Intelligence reports and Recon patrols have exposed a large number of Russian troops and IFVs that have reinforced the camp since the attack occurred.
Valparaiso
Modes: Rush / Squad Rush
Type: Infantry / Vehicle
Setting: Jungle
The American capture of Valparaiso is the next phase in their strategic plan to repel Russian Forces from Chile. Any U.S. invasion will inevitably consist of a land assault through the outlying jungle areas and an amphibious landing of infantry and armored forces along the coast. The U.S objective is the Power Station on the outskirts of the city. If the installation can be captured and services cut off, the liberation of the city will inevitably follow suit.
Isla Inocentes
Modes: Rush / Squad Deathmatch
Type: Infantry / Vehicle
Setting: Archipelago
U.S. Forces are desperate to open a supply route for an Armored Battle Group engaged in fighting further inland. A Russian Artillery base controls the area and counters any breakout actions launched. The base is well defended and has been successful in repelling previous attacks. Destruction of the base and control of the woodlands will allow U.S Amphibious Forces to land and open a second front, which is critical in their plan to liberate South America.
Atacama Desert
Modes: Conquest / Squad Rush
Type: Infantry / Vehicle
Setting: Desert
A Russian Naval Group is preparing a massive amphibious assault. Defending the shore are 3 U.S fortifications and a string of artillery defenses. Should the Russians establish a beachhead and overrun U.S. positions, they will be free to advance further inland. With weather deteriorating and sandstorms approaching, U.S. Command has consolidated all available forces to meet the Russian threat. As a result of the open ground, a large-scale armor battle supported by attack helicopters seems likely.
Arica Harbor
Modes: Rush / Squad Deathmatch
Type: Vehicle / Infrantry
Setting: Urban
Following the results of the armor assault at Atacama, U.S Command insists on a similar action to capture the port of Arica. The assault group will launch a “break through” action directly at the Russian base. If the fight dictates, the Battle Group will cut directly through the town located on the axis of advance. Collateral damage is of no consequence. The Russian base must be destroyed in order to cross the desert and reach the port. Heavy casualties are expected on both sides.
White Pass
Modes: Conquest / Squad Deathmatch
Type: Infantry
Setting: Urban
As the weather has cleared and snowfall relented, Russian Forces are massing for an assault on White Pass and the satellite relay station located there. The local town has not been attacked, but Russian units have probed defenses in the surrounding woods. The sector has strategic value to U.S Forces as it allows control of inland routes. Should the area fall into Russian hands, a line of advance will present itself directly to Nelson Bay.
Nelson Bay
Mode: Rush
Type: Infantry
Setting: Forest / Night
Winter has hit hard. The river has frozen allowing heavy equipment and personnel to operate throughout the sector. However, the extreme weather and surrounding woods make it unlikely that any assault will consist of heavy armor. Satellite reconnaissance indicates Russian Special Forces and airborne units have been pulled away from South America and are gathering on mass. A nighttime assault is eminent. Nelson Bay harbors an underground U.S submarine base that will be defended at all cost.
Laguna Presa
Modes: Conquest / Squad Deathmatch
Type: Infantry
Setting: Jungle
The valley and surrounding mountains possess a strategic value in the battle for South America. Construction of the nearby Dam was halted when hostilities broke out, but its presence is still a significant factor. Airborne operations are limited but infantry assault supported by light armor vehicles is likely by both armies. U.S Forces are massing all available units to stage a defense and have wired the dam to prevent it from falling into Russian hands.
Port Valdez
Modes: Rush / Squad Rush
Type: Vehicle
Setting: Industrial
Russian Forces are posed to attack the harbor in an attempt to seize the Trans Alaskan Pipeline. Without regard to arctic conditions, the area has been probed by Russian Pathfinders indicating an airborne assault is planned. U.S interrogation of captured Russian paras revealed that MBTs will be, or have been, airlifted into the area. All armor assets and attack helicopters are being diverted to the sector. No fallback exists for either side. This engagement will decide the outcome of the war.
Strategies
Use The VehiclesThe vehicles are your friends! The tanks and helicopters are very hard to kill and can cause massive destruction. Just make sure to have a buddy supporting you to realize the vehicles' full potential.
Cover's Only TemporaryWalls and trees are destructable, so don't expect buildings to give you much protection. If an enemy wants to get to you, chances are he can just blow up everything that stands between him and you. Of course, the same goes for him, so you can root enemies out with explosives too. If you are hiding in one place, look for areas that are less frequented and out of the way.
Try Before You Die Spawning on your squad-mates can be very useful, but it can also be very risky. After dying, try not to immediately spawn on your teammate. Instead, watch him from the waiting screen and observe the situation for a few moments. Who knows, there may be someone right behind him with a knife!
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.
Use The Select Button
The select button, which is seldom used in games, gets a real workout in BC2. When targeting an enemy or enemy vehicle, you can press the select button and essentially call out that target to the rest of the team. This makes the target appear on the map so everyone will see what you are seeing and can begin blasting. Plus, you get a few extra points for calling out targets.
How To Use A Tank
So you’re in tank and you go barreling towards the enemy position with guns blazing. Within seconds, you’re a smoking husk of steel. This is not how you handle a tank.
Firstly, as a tank commander, you should be softening up enemy positions. This means blasting away machine gun emplacements and, more importantly, missile launchers, your sworn enemy. Engage in this activity from as far away as possible. When enemy emplacements have been dealt with, then you can move forward and take some ground.
Secondly, you should begin laying waste to enemy buildings, preferably buildings that hold an objective. Eventually, the building will come tumbling down and will take the objective with it.
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.
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.
