Battlefield: Bad Company Cheats

If you want to avoid having to protect the tanks when you're supposed to protect them in the "Acta non Verba" mission, go along with the mission as normal (walk or ride with the tanks). As soon as you get the autosave (when "Saving..." is on the right of the screen) walk back to where the drill, RPG, and C4 pickups are. Now wait until the objective becomes complete and regroup at the smoke. You have avoided a nasty battle :D
