Nelson Bay



Nelson's Bay is a multiplayer level in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It is only available in Rush and is the only map so far to take place during nighttime.

= Lead up = After facing defeat at the Battle of White Pass

= Battle plan = Russian Military minds decided to pull out Airborne and Special Forces units from South America to seize Nelson Bay in a nighttime airborne raid. Russian Military leaders designated 75 Russian Ground troops in the assault. Armor assets could not be deployed as the terrain around Nelson Bay prevented any armor to be deployed.

Attackers Deployment
The Attackers start off parachuting into the combat zone where a UAV Station and a Quad Bike are available near the landing area. The area is out of bounds to the defenders until the 1st base is lost.

Civilian Area
This area consists of two buildings. Both of which contain the M-COM Stations, both can be destroyed.

Army Outpost
This next area has two more M-COM stations; one in an area wooden, two story barracks and another in a communications building. The communications building can be destroyed, but it is difficult as it is large.

Submarine Base
Objective Alpha is located in a warehouse and Objective Bravo is located in the COM Station. Both objectives are simple to defend but hard to retake when a charge is set on the crates. If Objective Alpha is lost, it is best to hole up in the COM station

= Tactics = Nelson Bay is one of the most difficult maps to defend. The attackers are given cover by the dense forest covering nearly the entire map, allowing them to rush directly to the objectives undetected and arm them within seconds of deployment. Trees can however, be destroyed using various explosives and sniper rifles, leaving the to be held off by friendly snipers. As Attackers, the best strategy is to avoid any encounters with enemies until the objective is armed. As Defenders, the best options are either destroying the entire forest as stated before, or holding out within the objective buildings to negate the effects of enemies slipping past deffensive lines.

= Outcome =

U.S Victory

Russian Airborne and Special Forces units are pushed out of Nelson Bay and 2 U.S Submarines are deployed from Nelson Bay.

RU Victory

Nelson Bay is seized and the Submarine base and the Submarines inside it are destroyed.

 * Nelson Bay is arguably the most difficult for the defenders side and is extremely difficult to repel the attackers.
