I came across these in a search so I thought I'd post them here for all the clan to see. You never know, they might help someone!
1. The point of the game is not to rack up kills, but rather to help your team win. It doesn't matter much if you're the best fragger on the losing team. So guard your objectives, and fall back if you need to. Better to lie in ambush and kill the one enemy who manages to get through to the objective, than to run around racking up kills while a Covert Ops sneaks in and costs you the game.
2. The Engineer is the most important position on the team. In theory, all the missions can be accomplished with no other personnel except Engineers, however, none of the missions can be finished without one. If you're in the Limbo menu, and you see your team has no engineers, then you need to become one!
3. Cover your Engineers! They frequently have to put themselves into the line of fire to build bridges or ramps. If they get killed, then you can't get anywhere!
4. Don't step in front of someone's line of fire. If you see someone lying on the ground with a machine gun, don't stand in front of them. And don't walk in front of them. They're concentrating on targets in the distance, and may not see you wander in front of them until it's too late.
5. If a teammate kills you, do not file a complaint against them if it was an accident or if it was your own fault. If you step on your own team's mines, or you walk into a teammate's line of fire, it's your own damn fault, don't hurt your teammates for your own stupidity. On the other hand, if they killed you deliberately, be sure to file the complaint. Too many filed complaints will auto kick the player that is doing the team-killing.
6. Be on the lookout for Covert Ops. Clever players will sneak in and not fire until they are in the optimum spot to cause damage. Back areas are usually left unguarded early in the game.
7. Field Ops and Covert Ops can use their binoculars to provide fire directions for Soldiers with mortars. If you see someone on your team with a mortar, use your ability to provide them with a target.
8. Medics, your job is to heal and revive others. Don't scatter your first aid kits around blindly, as the enemy can use them as well. If you see a fallen soldier, be sure to revive them. Remember, this gives you XP.
9. Field Ops, one of your jobs is to provide ammo to others. As with the Medics, the enemy can also use your ammo packs, so don't just throw them around wildly. And be sure to provide ammo to anyone manning a mortar or a mobile MG42, as these weapons are hard to reposition. Remember, giving out ammo gets you additional XP.
10. Covert Ops, one of your greatest abilities is to don an enemy's clothing and open enemy doors. While the door is open, others on your team can sneak through. If you go through on your own, don't start shooting at the first enemy you see. Stay as far away from enemy soldiers as possible; if they get too close, they may spot your subterfuge. If anyone sees you kill someone, you automatically lose your cover. If you must kill someone, try to sneak up on them and stab them in the back.
11. Engineers, you are the one indispensable part of the team. But that means you also shouldn't be running around acting like a soldier. You need to get in, accomplish your tasks, and retreat to safety. Don't run around trying to rack up kills; building bridges and command posts is more important to the team than killing people. Remember, you can also repair fixed machine guns. Do so.
12. Soldiers, your responsibility is to cover Engineers and Medics. The Engineers are vital to the success of the mission, and Medics can revive you if you get killed, so treat them both like gold. |
