Battlefield Bad Company 2 Best Sniping Positions

Expert Author Kyle Wood

If you own a copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, then you have probably taken up the mantel of a Recon soldier a few times. You have probably also been subjected to a team full of players simply sniping rather than destroying M-COM stations. People like to snipe, but for the most part they all suck at it.

If you come up against a team of snipers, it's pretty easy to just find a good sniping hole and pick them all off as they stand in the open scratching their butts. The trick is then if you want to play a sniper, to find a good hiding place that either isn't well known, or that provides such good cover that it doesn't matter.

Isla Innocentes - Rush Mode

  1. USA first base: Move to the south of the base and then west along a little jettison of land. Stay behind the cover of the ridge along here, you will have to pass through no man's land. Move near the top of the ridge out of no man's land. You should be able to cover all of the west side of the island.
  2. Russia first base: Move down to the back (north) of the island. You will find a lower section behind the middle peak. From here you can completely cover M-COM B as well as any enemy boats and jetskis that attack around the west of the island.
  3. Russian second base: On the east side of the base, above the middle concrete wall, there is a small shed. Next to that is small section of fence and then cliff. Break the top of the fence with your knife. Use this hole and the window as your sniping points. From this point you should be able to take out any enemy snipers on the island and on rocks in the water as well as any USA troops attacking through the water from the west.
  4. USA: On the east side of the hill before the final Russian base, move onto the slightly raised ground here. From this position you can get awesome shots of Russians on the west side of the hill. You can also move up on the next ledge to get an open (albeit no cover) view of the Russian base.

Other sniping tips to remember are:

  • Always account for bullet drop.
  • Sit back behind cover while not shooting.
  • Look slowly around corners and only present a minimal target when shooting.
  • Hold down the trigger button to stay scoped after firing.
