============================
Probably the most fun you'll have in Battlefield 2 comes down to choosing what
class you want to be, the weapons you use, and how you execute both traits in
the combat area. This section will review the seven different classes in the
game, while providing what weapons are best for that class, and also general
strategies on how to perform in a most efficient manner.

+ The Special Ops class was one of the first widely used classes, mainly
because it has balance, power, and explosive capabilities. The Carbines
generally on all three teams have great long-range power, not as much as a
rifle per say, but almost equivalent to. They can be considered partial
snipers, but also have C4 in their equipment stash. The C4 has many uses. It
takes 2 charges to detonate the strongest armored vehicle (tanks), and
generally only one for light-armored vehicles. The idea is to drop the C4
charges (they stick to elongated surfaces), then right-click to pull out the
detonator. Left-click again to detonate the charges. There doesn't seem to be a
limit on the range. Spec Ops are by far one of the best classes in the game.
- The M4A1 outrules the other two teams in terms of a base setup. The M4A1 has
a high-zoom scope, but also provides little recoil with efficient power. The
Ak74 & M4 have red-dot scopes, which may make it easier to aim at targets. The
Type 95 is an above average carbine, but has no special qualities. The G36C
unlock is the best unlock in the game, in my opinion. It gives you the best
unlock for a class, simply because this thing is as accurate as a sniper rifle
(has iron sights though). You can easily take down 2-3 at a distance compared
to the base models. G36 should be taken as a top 3 unlock regardless of what
classes you play.
Rest of Setup: Knife, (S) Pistol, Frag Grenades, C4 x 5
~ General Strategies ~
======================
- Spec Ops are your second best solution for taking out armored vehicles.
Sprint towards an APC or tank while it is distracted. Quickly toss two charges
on the vehicle, then retreat, and detonate. This will kill it instantly. In
certain cases, it destroys armor much quicker than a few anti-tank missiles,
but you have to get close. Make sure you are not squished by a moving vehicle.
- If a vehicle approaches towards you, drop two charges on the ground, and run
straight backwards. Detonate them as the vehicle runs over the area where the
dropped charges are.
- If you know a vehicle is passing through a chokehold, plant the charges ahead
of time, find some bushes for cover, and detonate as it passes over.
- If there is an unused transport vehicle nearby (or transport helicopter),
plant 4 charges on the vehicle - 2 on the front, 1 on each side. This strategy
is often called "jihad" or "suicide" since you generally commit suicide at the
cost of several kills. Once the charges are in place, pull out your detonator,
and get in the vehicle. Charge into a heavily enemy-infested area, press E (or
use key) to jump out, and left-click to detonate the charges. You will maximize
the explosion radius with charges on three sides, and most likely kill several
infantry troops. You will lose -2 overall points for committing suicide, but
will most likely net 4 points for killing at least 3 people.
- Spec Ops work best as alone, or as a squad. They're quite interchangeable.
- Prone and use the scopes on the weapons to take out targets long-range. Use
semi-fire or moderate auto fire in close situations. The 30-round clips can
usually engage several targets at once.
