Colin featured the following video by Coyno on his channel yesterday and I think it’s worth posting here. Bad Company 2 squad tactics on Valparaiso.
I’ve only watched part 1 but I love how they distracted the enemy while someone else on their team got the plant on the one remaining crate. Having been on the receiving end of that type of attack I can tell you it’s highly effective!
More after the break ..

This Penny Arcade cartoon may be about Battlefield 1943 but it applies equally well to Bad Company 2.
One time I took off with Mike in the back seat, and err, somehow landed upside down. Thankfully we both got out unscathed! š
I’m glad David made his latest smoke post a few days ago. I’ve been running it more and more since and it helped on Valpairaso last night. We were defending (Hi Conor!) and pushed back to the third base, but we were fighting all the way.
The attackers seemed to have an abundance of wookies who liked nothing better than to lay up on the hill firing mortar strikes and shooting into the village. Along with a light tank they did devastating damage to the buildings there. My attention was mostly on the tank but when I cottoned on that wookies were busy I put down a load of smoke on their hill. I think I made them mad. Even their UAV came after me! My KDR was shocking but they never got the last crate. We successfully disarmed it a few times under cover of smoke!
Unfortunately for one of my squad, he left and I got killed by him a few minutes later! Should have stayed with the winning team!
Earlier I had a game with Mike, and we stopped the enemy at the first base on that map. I joined late but still managed to down a helicopter or two!
My KDR was briefly 0.83 before last night’s game but it’s dropped back to 0.82 again. My skill level nose dived by 192 points too! I guess I’ll be first into game and invite the rest of you, eh?
Oh! Run vehicle smoke before you get on the UAV! I knew it could fire smoke but didn’t realise it fires 3 smoke canisters that creates a huge cloud of smoke! I tried it on Isla but unfortunately not enough of our team took advantage of it.
Bad Company 2 attacking tips for Laguna Presa, Isla Inocentes and Arica Harbor.
I’ve had these tabs open in my browser for weeks. It’s about time I posted them. I’d love to get tips for playing rush on Atacama Desert! Anyone?
Rush on Atacama Desert is hard. Mike, Conor and I played 2 rounds on it last night. Once defending and the second attacking.
In the first game we were pushed back to the last base before we managed to defeat the opposition. The maps are so wide they were able to get through time and again and even though we had full teams on both sides I only managed about 4 kills.
The second game was worse. We were attacking and didn’t even take the first base!
We played other maps with varying degrees of success. It seems to me that BC2 multiplayer is getting harder and harder. Perhaps only the “hardcore” players are left as everyone else has gotten bored of playing the same old maps time and again? Thanks Graham for joining us earlier in the evening!
My KDR is still at 0.82, but probably only just. My skill level plummeted to 222, or 156 depending on which number you look at. My win/loss is 1.53.
Here’s Stonefacelock and co attacking on Atacam Desert. We weren’t quite as successful.
Well, no new maps until the Vietnam expansion hits later in the year according to this interview.
DICE is releasing map packs with new game modes on already existing maps. Vietnam will bring new maps to Bad Company 2.
Enjoy Rush on Atacama Desert. They’ve brought rush to all the maps now haven’t they?
Map Pack #4 has been spotted by Fieldoperative. Maybe that’s why the EA servers just died. The new mode pack has Atacama Desert Rush and Port Valdez Conquest and are due tomorrow, 7th July.
Looking forward to trying rush on Atacama Desert!
Bad Company 2 Onslaught on Atacama Desert is *so* much better when you’ve got a good pilot on your team. Granted, it was on easy level, but my new best time is 6:15:02! Uber Noob tore up the enemy with his flying skills. I hopped in to man the secondary gun and it was dizzying flying with him.
Great!
This post on reddit.com has the scoop on leaked information about “new” maps for Bad Company 2. Of course like previous “map packs”, they’re simply the current maps with new modes. Looks like someone hacked the content we already have and unlocked it before EA blessed us with the VIP goodness.
There are leaked photos here and a gallery of screenshots too.
What’s new?
There are two VIP slots left in the BC2 store so don’t expect all this in one go, if ever. It’ll be drip fed to us. It’s shocking how bad EA/DICE have treated their customers.
Argh! The team we were just playing with sucked! We did a great job defending but alas, they got the plant and blew each of the crates. Still, the other games were great. First one was touch and go but the other team won in the end but we won the next 2 games I think, and finally lost the last one.
My skill level has gone up to 296 (or 166 according to BC2), KDR remains at 0.82 but KDR for the night was a respectable 1.22. Got an award too, the Air Warfare pin. I had the one UAV up almost the whole time on Port Valdez. Destroyed their Hind before it even got off the ground. But later the defenders sent their helicopters back twice to try and kill me. The first time the Hind crashed after I shot it to pieces, and the other heli successfully landed but the solitary soldier who got out was easy pickings for me as I jumped off the UAV controls. I boarded the heli but it only had 2 points of health so abandoned it.
Phew, needed a good night of reasonably fair and matched teams after the previous two nights! Thanks Mike and Gary for playing! Sorry Garry for shooting you when we were defending Alpha. You moved! Good thing it wasn’t hardcore! š
