Two versions of the Thompson, known as the WWII M1A1 Thompson, are featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2[]

"The new installment of the "Tommy Gun". This 30 round fully automatic submachine gun was adopted by the US Army and the Allies in WWII. Possessing .45 caliber stopping power complimented by firing 600 rounds per minute."

— In-game description

The Thompson is a weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Singleplayer[]

The weapon is seen during the beginning of the Operation Aurora. Thomas Wyatt is seen holding it in the boat but is forced to drop it in the water when discovered by the Japanese. Throughout rest of the level, Wyatt's squadmates are seen using the weapon, but it cannot be used by the player.

Multiplayer[]

The WWII M1A1 Thompson is a submachine gun available to all kits. It is unlocked by reaching rank 10 or by owning either the Limited or Ultimate editions of the game. It uses the same weapon model from Battlefield 1943, though it appears to be rusted in areas due to its age and wear.

It has relatively low damage, and only beats the Type 88 LMG, M60 LMG and F2000 Assault in terms of damage per second. It has a moderate recoil, but is not hard to keep on target at close to medium range.

"The new installment of the "Tommy Gun". This 30 round fully automatic submachine gun was adopted by the US Army and the Allies in WWII. Possessing .45 caliber stopping power complimented by firing 600 rounds per minute."

— In-game description

The WWII M1A1 Thompson is a weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam. Like the base game, it is an all kits weapon and is unlocked in conjunction with Battlefield: Bad Company 2's multiplayer. It has mostly the same stats as in the base game, though it does have increased damage and a modified range of 18 metre rather than 16 metre.

Its appearance has changed slightly, with a darker steel finish and notably more rust and wear, as well as khaki-colored cloth wrapped around its handguard and magazines, similar to many other weapons in the expansion.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to a patch, the Thompson used to be glitched and kills made with the it wouldn't be tracked. Rather, kills with the M1 Garand would count towards the Thompson's kill count.
  • When the Thompson is reloaded, the user can see the bullet in the chamber is actually ejected, but nothing happens to the ammo count.
  • While reloading in Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the player first tries to put in the new magazine in at an off angle, and has to rotate it and try again.
