The maps in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are often quite large. It can take a while to walk them on foot. Therefore, use vehicles to get around. There are several types of vehicles in the game, yet they all are driven with similar motion and camera controls.
All vehicles have more than one seat. When you get into an empty vehicle, you are placed in the driver’s seat by default. However, you can press the change seat button to move to another position inside the vehicle.
The driver has control of a vehicle’s movement and, in the tanks and IFVs, also controls the vehicle’s main weapon. The second position is usually a machine gun.
Some vehicles even have passenger positions for use during multiplayer games when you want to load up your squad and take them into combat. For more information on the various types of vehicles in the game, see the Vehicles chapter.
