Battlefield 2142 - PC/Quick Strategies

From WikiCheats

Assault

The Assault kit contains 4 minor weapons: SCAR 11 AR, Krylov FA-37 AR, BAUR H-AR and the voss l-ar. You can separate them in three groups.

1. The BAUR H-AR, the most powerful gun of the assault rifles, it has the most recoil and only 20 bullets in a magazine. With some practice this is a very good weapon to use in the Battlefield. OMG it's SO 1337

2. The SCAR 11 AR and the Krylov FA-37 AR, These are the two basic Assault weapons, there are both with a little recoil and 30 bullets in a magazine, by myself I like the two the most, because they are also the only two Assault rifles you can use in Clanmod 3.0. The Krylov is a weapon which doesn’t need lots of practice for good using, and it has almost no recoil --> noobfriendly, but for good handle with the SCAR you may practice some time --> not noobfriendly

3. The voss l-ar, what can I say about this weapon, it definitely sucks, it has too much bullets, 40 in a magazine, and most of the players in Battlefield 2142 sprays them all in one time to kill somebody, in the High skilled players groups this is called the noob weapon, because it is :)but is has more recoil than the krylov.

General Tips

• The best way to get first place medals is as a good squad player.

• When someone destroys your missile launchers and other equipment at your main base (it will turn yellow once destroyed) the commander can repair it by dropping supplies next to it

• If you get the chance get into the walker (unless it's against the rules somehow), but watch out for infantry running up to you as they will try to C4 you, and some people may try to send cars into you strapped with C4.

• When in a walker do not go near building where infantry could easily run out from and blow up your walker with C4, also of course watch out for mines/C4 on the floor and infantry with pilums and other rocket guns

• Unless you have good engineer equipment, the best way to take out a walker is to place C4 on a car and jump out with the car going into the walker and you detonating it when it's close enough (note: this is against the rules on some servers, it's known as C4 ramming, so be careful)

• If you are defending on the Camp Gibraltar map start off at the toll station as recon and place 3 C4 bombs at the big drive through opening to the other half of the map, often players try to speed through in cars at the start and this can cause trouble. Place the other C4 bombs outside the small barriers next to the flag here as some players try to take this station in their cars. Also for extra measure place 2 trip mines (if you have them) at the place where you put the 3 C4 bombs (you may not detonate the C4 on time). Place these trip mines on either side of the square archway.

• As a squad leader if you have spawn beacons place them next to buildings. Then respawn at them when you die and use the mouse to spin onto a building, then destroy the below beacon and replace it on top of the building you landed on (this makes it a real bugger for the enemy to destroy them). One thing to take note of is that you will spin along an axis, so if you find you can't get onto the building just replace the beacon until you spin along the right line. (Since patch 1.4 impossible)

• The best guns for infantry to use on other infantry soldiers are:
  • Turcotte Rapid SMG (EU engineer gun, very low recoil)
  • 'Baur HR' and the 'Voss LAR' (the 2 assault unlockables, powerful guns) (Voss sucks, use the Baur, scar of krylov)
  • 'Lambert carbine' (more accuracy and quite powerful)
  • 'Zeller H Advanced Sniper rifle (of course for long range)
  • 'PK 74 AR Rocket' (assault addon, good for midlong range but bad at close range)
  • 'Clark 15B Shotgun' (support unlock, good for short range) (Don't use it, since patch 1.4 it is noob, overpowerd, and without skills)

• Only use the pistol when you run out of all other means of ammo, it's not a very effective gun

• If you want the cool dogs tags on your knife (for knifing 75 different players) the quickest thing to do is of course to join a knife only server, don't join a pistol/knife server as you will be gunned down often. (EDIT by BlazedHawk, I wouldn't do this, it can lead to a stat reset and it is quite noobisch, we call it statpadding, cheating, knifing is also quite easy at normal servers! )

• The best kits to fully unlock first are the assault and recon kits, the other kits are more specialized for things such as vehicle destruction. Also it's very useful to have the global unlocks as you will often use the extra grenades if you are a nadespammer
