Out of all recent shooters, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is probably the best game where you can be a complete douche bag to your team mates, yet rank in high scores and feel accomplished.
How to be an asshole in Bad Company 2? Let’s take a look.
1. Ignore team objectives.
It’s a battlefield, you have to survive. So even though everyone is going for the objectives, your best chance of salvation is to get into a CHOPPAR and baserape the enemy. Just fly over their base and pwn them. That simple.
2. Medics are for pussies.
In reality, the Medic is the most important team-based class. So don’t use it. You don’t want to be gayly reviving team mates and taking your team to victory, do you? Seriously, ignore the medic class.
3. Smoke grenades are fun.
Once you’ve unlocked the smoke grenade, throw it around your base (where a lot of campers are located likely)
It’s also fun to throw them when your squad is cornered in a building. Throw it in the middle and let all hell break lose. A better effect is achieved in combination with motion sensors, when people start to panic in the smoke and shoot everything.
4. Blow up friendly cover.
You see a building with 4 friendlies holding defence. In a normal scenario you would most likely help them by killing the enemy. But that’s not too much fun.
Instead, grab a rocket launcher/grenade launcher and blow up a wall so they can get some fresh air and enemy bullets. If you’re inside as a sniper, C4 also works well.
Best results are achieved when doing this from a tank. Call it fishing. You’re using your team as bait. You might even confuse the enemies to think you’re a friendly! (No, seriously, this worked once)
5. Explosives are vehicles best friends
When a friendly engineer is in panic fixing his tank/vehicle, throw him some grenades to help out. C4/RPGs also work. He’ll be happy.
6. Snipers are the best class.
Nothing works better than completely ignoring your team and hiding on some hill in the bushes, pulling off headshots. The key to success is to literally ignore everyone once you’ve found a good spot.
Once you’ve unlocked the 12X scope you can snipe kilometers across the map. It also helps if you’ve unlocked the Mortar Strike. So when you see a nasty fight going on in a building (with your teammates inside), you can just blow the building up, scoring valuable points.
7. Use the tracer dart on friendlies
The tracer dart is an extremely useful, yet annoying thing to use on friendlies. It’s about the only thing that can be done to a friendly when you play under friendly fire. You can make a Sam Fisher out of your teammates!
8. Kill a camper 50 times
If you do happen to have some friends, get on skype/teamspeak with him (or on the phone for that matter if you’re playing on a console), make sure your friend is an enemy medic and you have control over the UAV.
Then, find some sniper camping out and ask your friend to come up to him. Now, shoot the bastard and let your friend revive him. Repeat. Do this infinitely until he quits.
9. C4 doesn’t destroy UAVs
Hook up a UAV with some C4, fly into a building (yes, inside) and detonate it. You also need a partner for this.
10. Be totally useless.
Seriously, the best way to piss people off in Bad Company 2 is to simply be useless. Stand around in front of snipers. If you’re in a chopper with 5 people, take them on a field trip, if you’re in a tank, go sight seeing or destroying your own buildings. Just improvise with stuff mentioned in this article, it is incredibly fun.
