(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So NGU as most of are you COD players and not played BF before i decide to make this thread to help you and share tricks.

Learn your kit.......this is most important what the point of your kit
What it role what things can it do well and what things can't it do.

Assault - is the killer and keeping people on the ground. Giving them medic boxes and getting people back up. It always has some very powerful ARs which do work at range and close range.

If you like being a soldier assault is for you. Weapons suit mid range fighting but some are good at both.

Gadgets
Defibrillator – What to say see somebody down get them up.
M320 – Mini noobtube is under used in BF3. Not sure why it pretty good and powerful kills most of the time. Great for being aggressive assault you do give up your medic pack.
M26 MASS – Is a shotgun bit meh compared to other shotguns but if your using a mid range AR which sucks at close range. Then may be worth using this to counter your close range weakness

Guns
M16A3 (US) / AK-74M (RU)
M416
AEK971
F2000
AN-94
G3A3
KH2002

Best guns imo are F2000 , M16 , and KH2002
F2000 for more close range fighting
M16 is good doing anything.
KH2002 for more longer ranges

Assaults only real weakness is vehicles but the class is not designed for taking them out. Your best bet if you see a tank avoid it.
Another thing is class is good for is spotting and taking flags. It for the aggressive player who can play smart. Rewards you for killing and healing your team.

Any squad specializations works with this class. I found that sprint is good fit along with flak or cover.


Support - Is the ammo box and spawn point......it point is to hold people down and give out ammo. One thing to remember it nades abuse them......you have infinite nades with this class.
Point of support bipod down in a high traffic area and act as a spawn point for assaults/engineers.

Support is a ginger kid class.....very at times.
Is to give out ammo and act as a spawn point. In order to be a good support you have to camp out high traffic areas and give supporting fire. Along with throwing down ammo where your team is.
As a result you can EARN a lot of points doing not very much lol
Suppressive Fire is supports best friend you can keep people busy for the assaults even if you miss.

You need to learn how to use LMGs in other to get the best out of them or your dead. Due to the LMGs recoil pattern the best way to use them is to bipod down. This reduces the recoil to well not very much. If you don't at mid range your find winning a battle against a AR impossible unless you control the recoil.
IF you don't bipod down burst fire.......

Gadgets
Claymores – Good for protecting your back, if you crawl they won't go off
Mortar – Attack / Defence and counter mortar. These are 3 things which mortars are good for.
One pro tip don't keep in one spot and spam , your way too easy to counter mortar.
C4 – Useful as a trap or taking down vehicles.

Guns
PKP PECHENEG
M60E4
M240B
M249

Best guns in the class
M249 , PKP

Supports main weakness is close range if you play the class right you can counter that weakness pretty easy.
Squad specializations to use Suppressive or frags.


Engineer - Vehicle support and vehicle controlling. IF your not in a tank or vehicle should be supporting your teams vehicles or keeping the other teams out of the fight. Engineers very powerful guns up close but at range very weak.
Abuse the RPGs if people are camping.........and have a better view on you. Take down the cover they are using.

Engineer

This class is only one which does super well at close range. Carbines in this close ruin assaults AR at close range apart from the F2000.

Gadgets
FIM-92 STINGER / SA-18 IGLA – Flying things can be locked on with this. SO if a jet annoying you pull this out. Remember to keep the lock on as long as possible then fire. Most people flying jets panic and press flares straight away
SHAW / RPG – Engineers mobile rocket system no lock on just fire. Remember that rockets do drop off at range
Mines – Put them on high traffic routes for vehicles and forget about them. Best to group them together as a single one won't take out a tank.
EOD bot – This little bot quite helpful can plant bombs , disarm and repair things. Or you can spy on people and kill them lol
Javelin – Has a couple tricks for you......first one.
Lock on then before you fire move it upwards then fire the rockets lands on the top of the vehicle does more damage.
Next one is pair this baby with a SOFLAM you can fire behind cover without needed to look at the vehicle also it goes upwards does far more damage.

Guns
M4A1 US AK-74u RU
SCAR
A91
G36C
SG553

Best guns in the class are A91 and SCAR. A91 is deadly up close and good hip fire. Overall good at mid range. SCAR good at close and range but lacks hip fire.

Engineers main weakness is range. But if your keeping vehicles repaired and in one that won't matter.

Recon - Much like the support.....ish.
Recons are meant to be in the middle of the fight keeping the spawn point alive. And killing stuff along with providing recon support.
Did you know that you get SOFLAM or a UAV......

SOFLAM and UAV can laser targets making them glow for people. SOFLAM placed in a good spot can make a recon deadly to all targets. You can cover two spots on the frontline. And use the SOFLAM as a camera to where people are.
BUT the SOFLAM only works if engineers or people are using guided weapons. Make sure to play with a friend.

See the recon far more then a guy with a sniper on the hill. Or support far more then a guy with a LMG

Yet to put alot of time into this class , so don't know what the best guns are.

Vehicles
Next thing is this battlefield that means vehicles abuse them they can turn the battle.
If you see a tank at spawn jump in it with a buddy and make people cry.
IF nobody on your team using them hop in and do some work.

General vehicles
Boost out of danger , 3rd person view all powerful. Tanks are slow being able to see all the battle helps you.
Another a thread on jets which is worth a read too

How to play conquest
Conquest is a game mode about capping flags and kills.
Each flag you take you burn lives off the other team.

Taking a flag , in order to take a flag you must have more people on it then the other team. So 4 vs 3 the 4 people going to take the flag. Of course if you taken a flag best to check nobody waiting for you to leave.

Art of flanking.....
IF you know where people are holding out , go flank them and surprise them. So in other words don't bro rush down the same spot over and over hoping to kill them your just feeding them kills.

Next tip use anything the game gives you. Power to go prone , get shot go prone around the corner and wait on the guy. If people been playing FPS are long i have you never chase after a guy if he gets away.

If you have any more tricks for weapons or just overall post them here.

Nice guide.

Well done. Although I knew all of this. Except for infinite grenades. :dumb: Oh well. Eat my shit, campers in Grand Bazaar. :argh:

You also might wanna put something about mortars in too.

good guide thanks mate

any tips / tricks to get other players to actually bloody listen or attack or defuse mcom stations as i always seam to get on teams who are hung up on killing and not playing the objective in rush

Yea, I don't understand why people will not play the objective, I wanna rank up fast so I support my team and capture the objective and that how fast I can rank up just by doing that

very nice guide

Don't underestimate the lower tier attachments! The M16A4 (3 burster) with a heavy barrel is a reincarnation of the Lord Almighty.

Don't forget the foregrip!

tip: if your getting spawn trapped, use the damn mortars helps a LOT, especially with tanks

TIP#1: I keep seeing idiots running at helicopters, and everytime they get into one, the enemy has us cornered and blows the bejesus out of us S: if you're cornered try not to get into a highly explosive vehicle that can hardly be controlled.

TIP#2: Use the mortars, see a group of enemies hiding somewhere? USE the mortars.

TIP#3: You can destroy the objective using explosives like launchers or frags, try using those if you can't reach the objective.

TIP#4: SOME (I emphasize the SOME) snipers can take out scenery such as trees, use that to your advantage.

TIP#5: Don't run around with a shotgun in a really long-range map, I see people running around with shotgun's and trying to hit me from 90 yards.... It's not a rifle...

TIP#6: Pistols/secondaries are really useful, pistols are extremely accurate, and great if you're in a building with a long-ranged primary.

TIP#7: GRAVITY!!!! Some people might not realize this at first, but gravity plays a GREAT role in battlefield, a bullet can drop several feet due to gravity, launchers drop even more.

TIP#8: Knives, can tear away some fences and gates and doors, but for god's sake, it's not a super-weapon... I see people rushing at me trying to knife me from the front.. WTF?

TIP#9: Try learning how to use the vehicles (I learnt all about them in campaign mode.) before actually using them, when I bought my first battlefield game I was like "Yay, helicopter" Then BAM i crashed.

TIP#10: Teamwork is a must in BF try to help your team as much as you can, doesn't really hurt to throw a pack of ammo, or wait for people to get onto your vehicle. Once some idiot parked the chopper I was on on the edge of a cliff >.>

I hope you use the tips wisely, and have fun .

Actually you don't get infinite grenades with Support. Grenades are not resupplied by the ammo box (at least not on Xbox, maybe Ps3 or PC)
