Playing Karkand 24/7 makes you leet pr0.

..But seriously:
Always check your 6.
Ghillie suits can help if used properly.
Edit:Plants with thick stems are shown for full draw distance. Use that to your advantage when long distance sniping.

For jets: Switch to bombs when you're not using missiles. It won't alert air enemies to your presence by locking on to them.
When bombing tanks, angle down slightly after you hear the "thunk" of the first bomb being dropped. That should put both bombs right on target.
Use your guns on AA.

I'll think of some more tomorrow.

It's 1:38 AM.

Always reload an SVD if you have less than 7 shots and aren't in direct combat.
Dragshots take a few days to perfect. Learn them, it is easy to do.
Put at least 300 meters between you and your target if at all possible. Your average sniper can't hit anything in excess of 150 meters.
Please stop trying to snipe near or around the large rock on Arty Island. It is the main focus of J-10's and choppers. Third arty is your best friend.

All flags are not created equal.

Every map has key flags that have importance from the point of view of what assets you have there: commander assets, tanks, apcs, choppers, planes. If you lose these then you lose the game, and worse than this you will put yourself in a position to get raped.

Also, "Hotel" is not the only flag on Karkand...

If you're not playing medic on karkand, you're useless to your team.

If you spawn on your squadleader and he's sitting hiding on a roof near a flag, get on the flag, don't attract attention to where he's hiding, cause if he's me, I'll shoot you.

I read a couple ones that say reload when ever you can (outside of combat) but when you play on servers with very few people and sometimes you are the only one defending/capping on that side of the map.


?Conserve ammo, if you have more then half a clip, that is more then enough to get a couple of kills, you just need to be a good shot. Also, if you kill someone, check to see if anyone else is there, then pick up their kit, see if they got lots of ammo.
(this also works if they shot you, but you killed them and they were a medic or support, pick up their kit, drop a medic/ammo pack then go back to your kit)

Using the G3 will help you learn how to conserve ammo


Don't nade spam a flag without checking where the enemy is/where your nades will go, if you don't kill them with you first 2 nades, they could have gotten away and might even come up behind you.

-ALWAYS reload,even if you have wasted 3 or 4 bullets.These last bullets will make the difference in combat.
-Screw the kiddies who moan about bunnyhopping and dolphin diving.Jump like there is no fucking tommorow.
-Do not just randomly hit servers.Chances are you will come accross stupid admins and pricks.Find a decent one with mature players and admins,and whore it.After all,having friends who admin your favourite server is always a good thing
-Whore BF2S (Trackr)

Play to win.

If you can't revive somebody because their corpse is stuck in a wall/rock/tree/whatever, bounce some medkits off the body to try to shift them out of there and get the revive. This can take some time so be careful, make sure the coast is clear first.

Most guns are inaccurate on full auto beyond close range. Shoot in shorter bursts as the range increases to control recoil, and select single shot at longer ranges.

Learn to anticipate mines, both of the claymore and AT variety. They are usually placed in fairly predictable places so look for them (although sometimes looking for claymores will get you killed by them...)

Know your limits: If there are 10 soldiers and a tank heading your way, it's probably better to fall back then to try and fight.

Know your weapon's limits: No, you can't snipe with the jackhammer and no, the L96A1 is not a great CQC weapon.

Look at your map: No, I don't have wall hacks, just a UAV. Now stop with the damn kickvotes.

If you are going to hop out of a tank because it is badly damaged, then for fucks sake make sure you have the means to destroy it so an enemy doesn't steal it and repair it.

Just because an enemy is there, doesn't mean you have to shoot them. Wait until you're in a position where the advantage is yours.

Think before you put a mine down. Chances are if the entire enemy team uses a particular route, your team uses the same route too.

You aren't the only vehicle on the road. Leave room to let other vehicles pass.

If you see someone pointing a rocket launcher at you, laying down in the middle of the street probably isn't the best idea.

Use your 3D map: med/ammo bags randomly appearing and your teammates names disappearing means an enemy is nearby. A red skull means a powerup, run straight towards it and then hit page down.

-Single shot often times has better hit reg than automatic. It also conserves ammo, so switch your firing mode soldier!

-When rounding a corner and someone is chasing you, get your grenade ready and right click when you turn. The enemy soldier will be wounded or killed from the nade, giving you an advantage.

-Try to find other spots in the flag radius to cap it. These less known spots aren't the first to be checked, giving you more time to attack the defender or hide out long enough for reinforcements to arrive.

-The crouch key is very useful on mounted machine guns and the tank turret. It gives you time to wait for enemy units to come into your range without getting headshotted by a sniper.

-The tracks of the tank are the weakest point. Always aim for the tracks. One TOW/HJ8 rocket to the tracks equals death. Not many know this, and sometimes the crying tankers will shout out "hacks!!". Screw 'em and keep killing.

-In a tank, it's best to always move to avoid being AT mined or C4ed. Anti-Tank soldiers also have a harder time hitting a moving target. Remember the splash damage on the tank's cannon and use that to your advantage if you miss while moving using the co-axial gun.

-Engineers can defuse claymores and AT mines. If you're in a tank or APC, hop out and remove the mine with your wrench. If a sniper just dropped a clay in your face, be quick and defuse the mine before it detonates. There's a small activation time until it's lethal, and not moving also helps.

You can dodge Eryx and SRAW missiles.

You move slow when prone. Use it to your advantage when knifing Snipers and Supports.

The M2HB and Kord pwn aircraft.

When shooting a DPV as AT, aim ahead of the target.

Flank your enemy. It works.

When machinegunning, don't let out a steady stream of tracers. It attracts snipers.

Before using nades, check your minimap for allies.

Never play BF2 without sound...

Learn to recognize an allied medic's dead body. Pick up his kit and revive him.

When on a ladder, press C to check for claymores at the top.

When confronting multiple enemies, shoot the one with the most powerful weapon first (The G36E)

C4 on dead bodies = EOB.
