    DO: Run parallel to the enemy firing at you.

    DON'T: Run straight towards or away from him!

    When your running low on supplies and there is no support or crate nearby, grab a kit from those that have fallen. "G" key by default.

    DON'T: Place mines in or around the your UCB. It will do nothing but cause TK's and
    bottlenecks with vehicles unable to move.

    DO: Communicate with your squad. This can be one of the most important you can do to stay alive.

    DO when flying in a 2 person aircraft join the squad with the pilot/gunner so you can communicate.

    DONT take the aircraft by yourself and leave people on the airfield yelling "HEY gimme a ride".

    DO look forward in the gunner seat if traveling fast as your chances of hitting something off to the sides is low and your pilot will try to line up targets in front of the craft.

    DO offer to repair friendly vehicles if they need it.

    DONT drive directly behind a friendly vehicle in combat, this prevents it from retreating.

    DO watch out for mines, friendly ones are easier to spot because they have red Xs over them. If you aren't sure if it is a mine or C4 or a claymore just avoid it.

    DONT punish someone for running over their mine. It doesn't help your team.

    This is one of the greatest "truths" about POE. 5-6 guys in the flag radius all at once will turn a flag all the way within 10-12 seconds.
    A few random stragglers may take 30 + seconds. An entire squad can run from Crash to Trenches on a map like Fallen in that amount of time.

    Another Do: Pay attention to the maps you play to learn where you can be to stay in the flag radius vs out of the radius. (watch the flag indicator that will pop up)
    If you are defending and attack, staying in the radius will slow the change and give you time to adjust and defend.
    This is especially important if your SL goes down and may buy you the time to revive them or have them spawn back in before the flag turns.

    I think it's actually closer to 5 seconds... that thing whips up and down with 5 guys on it.

    If your team loses all their flags:

    DO attempt to turn a flag IMMEDIATELY, the longer you take the less chance you will have.

    DONT hide and think that they won't find you, someone will being going commander shortly if they don't already have one.

    or the activity on the TS channel will go nu-cular (heh heh) with not so in accurate hints about where the last guy might be. its always the same folks.

    Lightbulb Re: Do's and Don'ts - how not to die so much

    Here's an example from last night of two previously mentioned Don'ts:

    - Don't: Revive someone, especially your SL, until you've cleared the attacker(s) that killed him.

    - Don't: Spawn on the SL and stay grouped up.

    - Do: Have patience attacking/defending and keep an eye on the dead bodies you just killed.

    As seen in the pic; I first shot CtyZ3N then, as I reloaded behind a nearby wall, his medic came and revived him and within a second their squad members spawned on him and stayed in a hudle long enough for me to easily pic them off and get an eventual flag capture

    Smoke may have helped their situation, but I usually throw a granade or two if I can't see who's in the haze.

    Those simple mistakes makes me look better than I really am

    Re: Do's and Don'ts - how not to die so much

    DO-Pick up a medic bag and rev your medic or team mates
    Lead by example
    Listen to your Squad Leader
    The best you can do squad leading, practice makes perfect, or damn near it.
    Give squad directions (York I know you got mad at me last week, sorry buddy)
    Name your squad the flag you are heading for- This will help other squads.
    Respect the 71st and the admins

    DON'T-Ask questions about a goal you may understand
    Constantly spam the channel
    Go sniper all the time and wander off
    Gripe and complain and get into little tiffs, it's a game, have fun
    TK over anything on purpose, this =s bad news

    DO- take cover whenever nessisary during a fire fight.
    follow SL orders unless SL tells you to go somewhere else.
    take cover when armored vhehicle comes
    let AT an engineneer handle tanks and other armored personel
    respect everybody around you



    DONT-run out in plain sight
    attack infantry and other vhehicles when trying to be stealthy
    attack a full squad by your self
    playing around on an airfield
