BC2 tips and strategies Options

[K.]

Since i'm a total noob at this type of game, i was wondering if any of the better players can provide some basic tips

little things you may take for granted that you have learned over the years of playing bf2 may make perfect sense to you but new players may not have picked up on

whether it be 1 on 1's, keyboard mapping, squad play, just stick yer Oar in here!

The 5k points bonuses are due to reaching stat landmarks for example the bronze, silver and told stars are related to the amount of kills with each weapons, you get other badges for things like 100 squad resupplies or revives etc. It's just a matter of playing enough until you reach these sort of stats and then a flurry of bonus points should help you rank.

If you go medic you can get more points for squad revs than for a kill, another way to earn more points if you are finding a round particularly hard.

actually the bonus points from landmarks don't help you rank, i'm a bit of a stat whore and i always pay close attention to how my points increase, if you look closely after a round when the scoreboard breakdown is up, it's split into class scores and award scores

for example after panama canal i may get about 800 points playing as medic, a further 200 points for vehicle (sat as gunner till it blew up ) and maybe 50 points as assault (ran out of nades and died lol)
also i would have gained a further 200 award for 5+ revives as medic and ano 200 for being in best squad

in total i would have gained say 1450 points towards my rank score while only 800 goes to leveling up my medic class, 200 for vehicle unlocks and 50 for assault class

i'm not sure as to what the 400 from awards gets assigned to if anything maybe someone else can clarify
