A TIN OF SHED
26th November 2006, 12:20 PM
Any time during play, you can customize your kit. The changed equipment will be in your inventory on next spawn. (1)
When you are playing as a squad, you will see the Field Upgrade Bar in the upper-left corner. When this is full, squad members are eligible to select a Field Upgrade. (2)
Field Upgrades are temporary unlocks. Once unlocked, these can be used as long as you stay on the server. (3)
The three Squad Leader Unlocks can only be used by Squad Leaders. Anyone can unlock them, but only Squad Leaders with a squad of a certain size are allowed to use them. (4)
The five player ability unlocks can be unlocked as any other weapon or item. The difference is, once unlocked they are always equipped and not a part of the customization. (5)
On the Kit Customization screen - you can choose between light or heavy body armor. The heavy armor reduces the sprint capacity, so it's not all good with more protection. (6)
When you are promoted during a round, you can choose the unlock at the End of Round or - if you are in a hurry to get back to the fighting - wait and do this later on in BFHQ. (7)
Do not forget to check out the training film on the Titans. The film will guide you through the tactical information on the Soldier HUD, the rules of the battle, and provide valuable tips on how to best bring down the enemy Titan. (8)
Anytime during a round, you can press ESCAPE to get to the menu. Once you are done, just press ESCAPE again and you will return to the fight. (9)
Getting recommended for badges, ribbons and pins will help your Soldier's progress up in rank. (10)
Watch out for those Sentry Guns support troops can deploy. You do not want to get too close before finding out if they were deployed by friendlies or enemy troops. (11)
You do not have to choose an unlock right away. Your unlock credits will be available in the Unlocks section of BFHQ. (12)
The Leaderboards in BFHQ show the best of the best. They can be filtered to show just your buddies, players from your country, or to only show the players you have dog tags from. (13)
The graph showing your stats progress in BFHQ will also predict your upcoming performance based on your recent efforts. (14)
Several awards can be achieved multiple times and they help you go up in rank. (15)
You can join a server your Buddy is playing on by pressing the join button, in the expanded Buddy List. (16)
When you knife kill someone, you get their dog tags. Snipers all over - beware. (17)
Some unlocks are not items but permanent upgrades to either kit or soldier. (18)
The Gruber 5 Scope Stabilizer unlock helps you settle your rifle drift as a sniper. Unlock it and pick off those dog tag collectors more easily. (19)
The A12 Enforcer Sentry Guns will scan the area for enemies. Tactically used they can be very effective in guarding important areas or paths. (20)
Commanders and Squad Leaders can give orders by using the context sensitive communication rose (default on 'T'). Just aim at a strategic spot and send the order. (21)
Look out for drones as a good way of spotting a Squad Leader. Be sure to spot them before they spot you. (22)
Sentry Guns can be destroyed by firing at them. Or why not take them out with a well-placed EMP grenade? (23)
The enemy Titan giving you and your teammates a hard time? Do not forget that the weapon systems on the Titan exterior can be destroyed. (24)
EMP is an effective way of temporarily disabling vehicles. An EMP mine will do the job faster than the EMP grenades. Sneaky people are known for hijacking vehicles this way. (25)
A sniper who aims at the head will be more successful than the one that goes for the easy body shot. (26)
If you run out of ammo your sidearm can be a lifesaver. Do whatever it takes to keep your dog tags. (27)
The away bonus will help you get back on track with your career after some R&R. But the fastest way to go up in rank is to earn it on the battlefield. (28)
Any kills following your Squad Leader's attack or defend orders will generate a bonus score. (29)
If you see a "2" next to a player's name, this means they are veterans from Battlefield 2(TM). So, either be extra careful around those vets, or go after them extra hard to welcome them to the future. (30)
Which weapon is the Voss L-AR? Read more about it in BFHQ Unlocks or on the Kit Customization screen. (31)
You can have up to four (4) Soldiers with their own persistence per EA Account. If you would like to create a fifth Soldier, you will have to delete an existing Soldier first. (32)
Field Upgrades are only rewarded to soldiers in squads. This is one of the many reasons squad play might be the way to go, if you want the best experience. (33)
The NetBat system allows soldiers in the same squad to share information on enemy locations. (34)
Use the Squad Leader Bacon together with scrambled eggs for a nutritious breakfast for all of your freshly spawned squad. (35)
The Squad Leader Spawn Beacon allows squad members to spawn in on tactical locations. However, soldiers will be dropped in pods, so it is not the most stealthy spawn. (36)
Titan Commanders should be careful to avoid putting their Titan directly over a missile silo, as it will hit their Titan even if it was aimed for the enemy. (37)
Squad Leaders will climb the ranks faster if they have a habit of issuing tactically correct orders. The same is true for Commanders. (38)
Squad members will gain from carrying out their Squad Leaders' orders. Each kill while following orders will count in the pursuit of the next rank. (39)
The Commander score is determined by the individual team members' scores. And if the Commander leads the troops to a victorious round, there will be an additional bonus. (40)
Do not forget to customize your kits. Your last configuration will be saved. (41)
APCs have seats equipped with launch pods, which provide an excellent way of getting aboard the Titan. (42)
If you experience motion sickness during play, set Camera Shake OFF in the Options. (43)
Each kit has two separate unlock branches, which both lead to a new weapon. Go wide if you want a little bit of everything, and go deep if you more quickly want to unlock a new main weapon. (44)
Your skill in combat and the support of your fellow troops will - together with the awards you receive - add to your experience and help you climb the ranks. (45)
Don't forget you can pick up fallen soldiers' kit equipment. They might have more unlocks than you, and this is an excellent way to try them out. (46)
Field Upgrades are an excellent way to try out unlocks before you unlock them permanently. (47)
Squad members will gain from carrying out their Squad Leader's orders. Each kill while following orders to attack or defend gets the squad one step closer to a Field Upgrade. (48)
Healing, reviving and rearming your fellow squad members - and repairing their vehicles - will give you points and also help your squad getting a Field Upgrade. (49)
When you play a Co-op game, any number of friends can join the game up to the 16 player limit. When someone joins, a bot will be kicked out of the game. (50)
