BF2S Forums How do you manage to stay alive?

Stay in background, use your teammates as distraction. Don't run on open ground, don't use main attack ways use back routes instead and attack from behind.

I personally prefer the AT class, you can fight everything with it. (I once managed to shoot down a bomber with an eryx) But you have to avoid long and mid range combat agains infantry if they move.

dont try to be a hero, stay in the middle

My way
i often have 23 kills and 2 death
NEVER ATTACK WITHOUT A VEHICLE
you are much more effective.
that's the way

Well that's really the only way to survive is in vehicles for long periods of time. Don't take obvious routes to the flag.

Thanks. I play medic alot, so i have to run into open ground to revive teammates... thats probably why my k/d ratio is crap.

Nope.  The reason it's crap it because you revive guys you shouldn't.  Be a little more cautious about who you revive.  I play medic primarily and get a good amount of revives, but I'm not stupid about it.

Another useful tactic relating to staying out of the fray.  If an area is being over run spawn at the next point and work towards it.  COMMON EXAMPLE: You are MEC on Karkand.  The US is swarming all over the Hotel point but haven't taken it.  Rather than spawn there and get killed from behind, spawn at the Square and work towards the Hotel.  It's a lot easier to stay alive working in one direction.  When you work linearly like this, you can be fairly sure that no one will be behind you (notice I said fairly sure) and can concentrate mostly in one direction.

Not necesserily, just because you cleared out one guy, doesnt mean that thats it.  Becareful in expecially hot areas or spawns.  You have to becareful as a medic because your at your most vulnerable when you go to revive, as most people tend to ignore the world around them.  Kill, check, revive.  You cant save everyone, but you can sure as hell make the other team pay for it in blood.

Bunnyjump around the map with your medpacks out

chose the kit that situation requires, also, don't strike and armor from the same spot twice, if you see an attack chopper, better hide then you can attack it from bahind or scape,
2 days a go i was playing in sharqy as sniper, and i had 20 kills and 0 deaths, and we were kicking the mec's butt big time, none of the enemies realized from where i was shooting at (it was a really obvious place thoug) but then i got killed by a tank, cuase an assaul guy saw all the kills i was getting, and he wanted to kill some too, so he ran and went prone next to me but l the tank didn't saw us at first, but then this braind dead noob started to shoot at the tank with the g3 (tank got us with a shell)
so what i mean with this is, don't stan so close to teammates cause that make you a better target, for tanks,arty and noob tubers, also he can give away your position (like what happened to me)
also you can stay alive the whole round but not kill much, so vehicules are better for big kills strikes

u should be hung drawn and quartered

just be sensible bout who u revive and when u run out into the middle of a street

Like the guy said, always be in a vehicle.  Even if you just grab a jeep or a buggy, you are way more effective.  You come to the CP's much faster, you have some armoring that will protect you from the average long/medium range shooter, and you have some kickass machine guns with unlimited ammo.  You pull a jeep into a CP, hit F2, and chances are you will be able to hold of most of the infantry till some teammates show up to back you up.  (Which they probably won't because they want all the points from a fresh CP, but that's for another thread.)

The word vehicle seems to equal armor/air to some of you guys.
