Below are tips to understand BFBC2, to be a better teamplayer, to win a RUSH round
(You can also earn a lot of points for unlocks but that is not the essence of the RUSH gamemode)
The essence is just to simply win the round no matter what ... oh, and having fun of course:)
RUSH gamemode:
1 map with 4 stages
1 stage has 2 objectives (crates)
Attackers must destroy those 2 crates
Attackers have max 75 tickets (lifes/respawns) per stage, to complete the objectives of given stage
Defenders have to protect the crates
Defenders have unlimited lifes/respawns
If the attackers destroy both crates the match will go to stage 2, 3 and finally 4
If the attackers destroy the crates of stage 4 they win this round, in all other cases the defenders win
Next round the tables are turned
RUSH tips:
Attackers have to focus on objectives with minimal loss of tickets (lifes). Remember, attackers have only 75 tickets to destroy the 2 crates of given stage!
Defenders have to focus on defending the crates AND kill as many attackers as possible. Just get those 75 attack tickets down to ZERO no matter what it takes
A medic can revive a fallen teammember. The death still counts, but NO TICKET IS LOST! (this is esp. important for attackers. Defenders should be aware of this medic feature)
General tips:
Attacker tickets remaining are shown on the radar
A medic can throw a health 'hub'. Just stand next to that hub to regain your health
An assault can throw a ammo 'hub'. Just stand next to that hub to refill your ammo
An engineer has a repair tool. Use this tool to repair (partly) damaged vehicles
Spotting:
Spot as much as possible! It really makes your team aware of enemy presense
To spot an enemy, look at him and press <BACK>. The enemy shows up on radar and with icon
To ask for health/ammo, look at medic/assault and press <BACK>
More tips:
You don't have a 'health bar' indicator. When injured your screen will become more and more red around the edges
When injured you will slowly autoheal (even without the medic 'hub'). So take cover if you are hurt badly
You can choose where to respawn (Base or on squad member). Choose wisely!
If possible, give other squad members the time to respawn on you if you are in a good position
As defender you can shoot down the attacker's UAV. Do this asap!
Every class can now have the 'tracer dart' pistol as 2nd weapon. It shoots about 5-10 meters. Tag a vehicle with this
Tagged vehicles can be destroyed more easily by RPG'ss because the rockets will be guided somewhat
Destroy vehicles/tanks with rockets, RPG or C4. Don't shoot bullets at it. But DO shoot if personel gets out e.g. to 'repair' the vehicle
Fire in short bursts to improve accuracy (and conserve ammo)
And lots and lots more ...
Don't forget:
It is all about crates, crates, crates
Attackers have to destroy the crates AND keep alive (limited tickets)
Defenders have to defend the crates AND make kills (get those tickets down to ZERO)
So get you ass down there, think team and do your job, soldier! ... Have fun:)
