No shit... You need to watch this video if you're going to play BFBC2 with me. I had this huge tutorial almost all the way written up when I found this video from the good people at Pixel Enemy detailing in no uncertain terms the finer points of Battlefield Bad Company 2. For brevity's sake, I'll just reiterate the most important and interesting bullet points.

• Highlight Enemies - Directly target the bad guys and press the back or select button. This designates enemies on the map for all of your team to see AND gives you points if they die.
• Drop Supplies - If you're a Medic or Assault the first thing you had better do is drop a goddamn crate on the ground when you spawn. It may not be in the best place, but at least it's out there. If you die without supplying/healing your team you suck. You really do.
  
• Repair Vehicle from Inside - Ever take a rocket while you're riding shotgun in a Blackhawk? Were you an Engineer? Did you know you could switch seats mid-flight, get out your repair tool and fix the chopper without landing? You do now.
• Don't just sit there when you're planting/disarming a bomb - Just because you're holding down "B" or "circle" doesn't mean you can't reload, swivel, aim down the sights and defend your position from attackers. Waxing that one straggler might buy you the time it takes to make that game winning play.
  
• Always shoot vehicles from behind or the sides - Don't even bother using an RPG head on with on a tank unless you know it only needs one more rocket to die. Popping out to launch a single ineffective attack will only make you priority # 1 for the driver inside. Try sneaking around to put a few rounds on the armor's weak spots.
• Help the fuck out of people - The repair tool AND the defibrillator are both capable of killing enemies. If you're in a tight spot and have to draw down without the aid of an actual weapon, you might want to consider electrocuting the enemy with the paddles. Isn't it ironic!

Thanks again to  Pixel Enemy for the video. They're truly doing God's work.
Oh, and you can snipe helo pilots... if you're me.
