Picked up one of the Santa suits for a new character in BF:H.  For every Santa suit sold, EA gives a portion of the proceeds benefits the Child's play charity.


Made a video to showcase santa suit:

The engineer mines seem rather persistent.  Although they can be destroyed by many things, if you start the round as an engineer you can lay the mines.  If you get killed, you can respawn as another kit and the mines will still be active. 

I am trying to compile a list of helpful resources for new players (like myself).

One very helpful link is the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Wiki.  It has overviews of maps.  One thing which appears very helpful is a brief description of the specializations.

Another interesting video is this one, though, it could have been better with less attitude.  It seems more promotional at times:

Less specific, are some simple tips here:

I also like Tactical Gamer's tips- which seem thorough and professional.  Here is one example:

I am also looking at map specific tips.  NGT seems to have several online:

A fairly well done map overview is Harvest Day Rush:

A very helpful engineer video is here:

For data freaks, this weapons guide is pretty comprehensive:

Also, people should know about destruction 2.0:

The forums were shut down for probably 6 months.  Unfortunately, abusive posts by malicious posters closed the forums.  As my webhosting is a free site, the webhost company makes the rules.  I have opted to modify the process for signing up for the forums as well as enforcing the webhosts rules.

There was the possibility that the entire website would be taken offline, so the forum was closed for a long time. 

The forums have been reorganized.  The focus is on the Battlefield Series, with an emphasis on the PC games of the series.
