Jeeps and Crap

[iamzach727]

Ya, I'm new here, so you don't know me, and I don't know you guys, so I'm not sure how you'll take this. Anyway...

Since I've started playing BF2 -- like a week ago (coolest game ever) -- I've noticed that the lighter, machine gun-mounted vehicles aren't quite popular amongst most players, but I've actually been able to put em to some pretty good use. I mean on routine I'll simply approach an enemy position and, while maintaining a safe distance from the target, open fire with the mounted machine gun and kill them all. If I need to get a better angle or find safety, I'll switch back to driver position and relocate. After all, the jeeps have excellent mobility. (Just watch out for tanks and crap. Ehhhhh...)

Or I can just back up friendly troops who are entering a hostile position. It really helped out in the Kubra Dam. While a friendly tank was holding the spot in the middle of the dam, I was about fifty yards back and suppressing enemy troops on the scaffold. Of course I've seen the same thing done with tanks, but the jeep seems kind of under-rated, from what I've seen. Your thoughts and opinions?

Stick 3 blocks of C4 to the front, drive it at a tank, bail, momentum carrys the jeep the rest of the way and leaves you at safe distance, blow C4 and boom goes the tank. :P

Small vehicles can be quite usefull, when used by a devious mind.
I prefer not to blow my vehicles up, instead I tend to use the mounted MG to shoot stuff with.
Choppers can be taken down with accurate fire from the MG. If your vehicle is behind a wall, and you man the MG, you can shoot over most walls while your vehicle is under cover. You will be a harder target to hit, and I mowed down waves of attackers at Karkland with this approach.
Beware the well intentioned teammate who hops in your vehicle and drives you away from an excellent firing position! lol.

for one thing, the .50 cals on the HMVs are crap. You can blast away at someone standing still, and not hit them.

YES!! boom
that is if they don't blow you up before you jump out.


These vehicles are totally neglected. I will take these ideas into account next time i hop into a battlefield. Most of the time everyone is busy running to the A/C or the tanks, usually leaving these behind for people that just want to transport to the other side of the map. Tanks are an absolute hassle. Paying attention to location is very important when going for that sunday drive and splatter.

BAil?? Why does everyone just bail?? Just crush your vehicle into the lav or tank and boom it is. You be death anyways :p

I love the buggy's and jeeps. They're very fast. Tho I really really dislike that they don't have good grip. I mean they slip and slip and slip its gettin annoyin.
but all in all preffered vehicle cus of their speed

Im the most dangerous speeding buggy driver I tells ya

[mrbucket]

I enjoy the fact on humvee w/ rear facing, you can dump c-4 repeatedly w/fast escape.

I feel that anyone who camps a jeep is a ******.. People shouldn't be allowed to be a gunner unless theres a driver.. This is tank whoring.. but in a jeep.

Yeah because in a jepp you have armor, and it's impossible to shoot them, and they aren't open and exposed, and a noob tube wont take them out.. and.....Oh, wait.

Not even, they are easy targets taking a risk. I frequently kill 'em with a head shot.

killing gunners in a jeep is pretty darn easy i love killing them cuz they think they are just owning every one but i just hs them and they are done in a second blowing up a jeep is the easyest thing any ways id like to see some one whore a jeep

[CS-Evolution]

Another good jeep tip:

On maps that have bases surrounded by fences, a great tactic in the jeep is to position yourself behind the fence and fire away at infantry. While infantry and MG bullets will be able to hit you, the fence protects your vehicle from tank rounds, AT missles, Helicopter missles, etc... Fences are great cover for the MG on light vehicles.
