A completely random updated thing I’ll do when the mood strikes me. Short tips for Battlefield and whatever other game I enjoy. BF Quick Tips is the name though. Deal.
Tip for January 1st: When attacking on Rush, sometimes the best option is right down the gullet. Whether you know this from experience or map knowledge does not matter. A frontal assault by a single man sometimes does more than half a team flanking.

To each his own, but this has never worked for me. Usually it’s the other way around. Frontal assault by the majority of my team, flank by me and a friend I always play with. Should work if the other team is completely distracted by the flank, though.

That’s what I mean, yeah. A straight shot only really works when the enemy is covering the flanks hard because that’s where they assume you’ll be coming from. Normally, flanking is always the way to go, but if the concentration is on those flanks, a push down the middle might be the only way to go.

Another quick tip…..sometime somebody has to die.
I can’t tell you how many times on Metro conquest one team is downstairs near B and the other is at the top, and everyone is just launching nades/rockets/kitchen sinks, and all the while tickets are disappearing. Don’t be afraid to be that one guy to just bum rush. You’ll be surprised the difference it can make. Everybody at the other side will wind up killing you fifteen was to Sunday, but that usually gives your team the beachhead it needs to really get back on the offensive.
Again, not always the best strategy, but don’t ignore it either.

Mr. Mad, you have summed up the solution to many objective problems. It’s the tendency to want to stay where it’s safe and where the points, such as they are, keep flowing. What I find, as you say quite well, is the points come _faster_ when you do the unexpected, dangerous, oftentimes suicidal thing and push when no one else will. It just might get some people to grow a pair and join you.

Here’s a technique that I don’t see people employing very often: (on the Xbox at least.)
When driving or riding in a tank, AMTRAC or IFV, Supports will inevitably try to C4 you.
Even if you do a good job of defending, some might make it through and drop a pack or two on you before you can take ‘em out.
If that happens, what you need to do is become a traitorous dog!
Hop out of your gunner seat, pull out your launcher and lay a rocket right on your former comrade in his mighty mount!
To put it simply, use friendly fire to clear that C4!
I can’t count the amount of times that I’ve FAILED to detonate a vehicle while playing as a support, only to be pleasantly surprised when I respawn and press that clicker.
Friends don’t let friends drive with C4 stuck to their bumper!

I can vouch for the “somebody has to die.” On accident. I’m a fairly new player, and saw the standoff. Not even realizing why everybody was standing around, I grabbed the biggest gun I could(I was support), ran up the stairs, and blasted everybody with as many bullets as I could pump out. Not only did I establish a beachhead, but in the few conused seconds it took them to realize exactly what this newbie idiot was doing, I managed to pump three or four of them full of lead. Sure, not a HUGE number, but enough to thin my herd and scare them out of their pants.

Take advantage of the ability to change your class on the fly (or death). If your team’s filled with recons, bust out the smoke launcher and make their lives hell. If the enemy’s mortaring, smoke up and teabag the sonuvabitch.
Smoke grenades erryday.
