This tip will help you keep your teams armor up longer and is also one of my biggest pet peeves:

If you are the gunner in an FAV, walker, APC or tank and you spot hostile armor and it has not yet noticed you, show some self restraint and DO NOT shoot at it. Your bullets will do nothing more than alert the hostile armor of your presence and direction.

Exception to this rule: Hostile FAVs. Shoot them at will unless under orders not to engage.

My tip is all about medics.

CLEAR THE FREAKIN' AREA BEFORE YOU REVIVE! None of us likes to be revived into gunfire. Yeah it happens, it we all make mistakes, but make sure you look both ways before you cross the street for that rez.

Watch where it is that you throw your grenades! Its not fun to get team killed!

As assault, cross large open area's holding your medic hub out. Even if the enemy see you and fires most of the time you can outheal their damage output, especially if there are more than one of you.

When you engage a tank, you're in a tank and you are fairly close to each other, don't be afraid to run into your opponent. It deals decent damage.

constant, sporadic movement mixed with the ability to shoot enemies from multiple different angles
as for armor, please play defensively and always run away

Technically this is considered ramming, as per our rules. I know there is a thread about it somewhere if you go looking.

This also applies to walking across streets. As evidenced by my recent gameplay, not checking for vehicles before crossing certain areas (e.g. the roads on Belgrade) can get you run over, even if the vehicle is friendly. So remember: look left, look right, look left.

If an orbital lands right on your squad, DO NOT THROW YOUR MED HUB ON THE GROUND. The med hub will be instantly destroyed by the orbital and you will no longer have the ability to heal while scurrying around under the orbital.

I'd like to take this one step further.

Ok kids!

Stop, look, and listen, before you cross the street!

Tip 1: Don't anger the forum gods, errr I mean mods, by getting too far off topic.

Tip 2: If you're cloaked and you get EMPed, decloack, pull out your gun and find a safe spot to hide until you can see clearly and then resume the cloaked run.

Teabagging is actually the CPR of the future. Don't be afraid to use it.

In all seriousness, Revive, revive, revive! Don't just leave that dead body lying there! Take out your defib and revive him/her, except when you are under heavy fire.

My tip: Q-spot ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Multiple times. When I'm running around, especially with the sniper rifle, I'll take a shot, spam spot messages, then take another shot. Trust me. It helps.
