A Snipers Guide to Battlefield: Bad Company

Sorry for the non Halo info but I thought I'd share some thoughts on Battlefield Bad Company.  Check out the full article here: XBOX 360 Noob


Specific Map Tips

(The tips below are only for the map: Oasis and they are only for the initial 2 crates)


- Oasis: Defense


As soon as you spawn, run to the left and get over the creek. Be sure to sprint because you want to get away from the base as soon as possible because the opfor will start raining pain with the howitzer.


As fast as you can, run up the left side until you are even with the enemy base. Hide in the water in some tall grass. Also, as you are working your way up, press Start to see the full map and see if any enemy vehicles are on the move. There is quite a stretch of ground to sprint through and that leaves you pretty exposed.


Now that you have set up your base in the creek, use the laser designator and lock on to their boats. But when guiding the JDAM, instead of dropping it on the boats, aim it towards a different target. I call this "Piggyback Lockon." It keeps them surprised because they don't get a warning. In order of importance, start targeting the following: Howitzer, helicopter, tanks.


That plan works if you want to want to be a flanking sniper but if you want to be a ghost sniper, then find a spot partially advanced of your starting position but make sure you are well hidden. Let the enemy pass you before you fire. If you hit them from behind, you will surprise them and it will take longer for them to find out where the fire came from.
