Battlefield 2: Modern Combat - Challenge - Weapons
Information, Tips, and Walkthrough
Weapon challenges test your ability to kill enemy soldiers quickly and efficiently. Each one will give you a single weapon and task you with killing a set number of soldiers and/or vehicles. Some of these challenges may be very difficult at the beginning of the game. Try coming back to them after you have been awarded weapon upgrades by moving up in the ranks. A larger clip can make a hard challenge seem simple.
Weapons Challenges
Assault Rifle
Available: From the start
This challenge puts you through ten rounds of target practice. For the first round, you only have one target. If you keep killing all of the targets, more will be added for the next round until you have a boatload of moving targets at the end. To succeed, you need to be able to use your radar to quickly locate targets and then shoot them either in the chest or the head. You get the most points, 1000, for a head shot and less points for kills that require more than one shot. You can get three stars without doing perfect head shots, so don't go crazy trying to perfect this challenge.
This challenge can be difficult at the beginning of the game. For each round, you are only allowed one ammo clip. Later in the game you have an expanded clip which allows you to miss a few times without being punished as severely.
RPG
Available: Sergeant
This challenge will require you to hit moving soldiers and vehicles from one of four positions using the RPG. Depending upon the ease of nailing a target, you get more or less points. For example, a lone soldier is worth 75 points while a boat is 250 points. Scores may not make sense because the score multiplier is in effect. If you hit multiple targets in one round, you are rewarded with more points. This means that at the beginning of each round, you should always shoot out the easier targets first to make the more difficult ones worth more points.
The armored tanks and helicopters are worth the most points, but they each require two shots to take down. Find a vantage point that you can use to easily hit the helicopters. Shooting down a couple at the end of a round will almost guarantee you three stars. Remember, Hot swapping freezes time. Rather than waiting to reload, switch over to another soldier and keep shooting.
Sniper Rifle
Available: Sergeant Major
For the sniper rifle challenge, you are in the air on a helicopter. There will be ten rounds where you are given five targets in each. Your score for each shot is based on how much time is left on the clock, so aim quickly and do not try to search out new targets with your scope zoomed in.
There are actually only five areas. After going through each area, you are brought back to the first and cycle through the exact same targets. The second time through, you are slightly farther away and have a little less time. If you do this challenge several times so that you know the locations of all the targets, you are easily able to complete it with a high score.
Once again, an extended clip makes this slightly easier because you are able to miss a couple of times without running out of ammo. Come back to this later if you have trouble getting three stars.
Frag Grenade
Available: Chief Warrant Officer
This challenge is a fun one. For each of the ten rounds, ten soldiers will fan out in a triangle formation below you. Your job is to toss a grenade into their midst and blow them all to bits. If you can manage to get the grenade to drop at the feet of the one in the center, you kill all ten in a single throw. This is the key to getting all three stars. If you kill all of them in one throw on the first round, you get 10,000 points. If you do it again on the second round, the score doubles. Each time you successfully kill all of the soldiers in one throw, your reward will grow. However, if you take extra throws or fail to kill all ten, you score reward will begin to decrease again.
Practice playing through this several times to get the hang of lobbing grenades at long distances accurately and then go for a scoring run.
Shotgun
Available: Captain
The shotgun challenge puts you in a square of buildings and randomly assigns some of your friendly troops as target enemies. At first, this is easy. Simply Hot swap your way around through the square and look for the yellow blips indicating targets. The faster you shoot them out, the more points you receive.
Things get difficult if you are good. Each time you clear the entire field of enemies in a perfect round, more will be added for the next. Since they all take positions of what previously were friendlies, you are on your own against only targets. Since you cannot Hot swap, you have to shoot most of them from the ground. Once you run out of targets, look for a staircase up to the top level to finish clearing out the targets. They always appear in the same position each time the round is reset. Play through this several times and work toward memorizing the spawn points so that you can quickly target all of the enemies.
Machine Gun
Available: Colonel
Your goal is to stay alive as wave after wave of enemy soldiers rush your position. If they get close enough, they will knife you and end the challenge. Keep firing with your machine gun to lay them down and don't let them get too close.
Starting at round four and continuing from there, you are faced with more and more flanking attacks. Make sure you always watch your radar and pivot so that you can attack the closest soldier. You may also want to consider kneeling. That way you can improve your accuracy a little bit and pick off some soldiers before they even get close to you. This is all about speed and accuracy.
