When squad leading try not to mumble or voice incoherent thoughts - you're squad will start to tune you out and won't react as fast when you give vocal orders or warn them of squads/armor/grenades.

For those who are REALLY new you use the [F1] - [F6] keys to select your seat. I felt SO stupid when my entire squad podded up to the titan and I was stuck on the ground cursing because I couldn't figure it out.

(I actually had to read the manual on this one...)

I couldn't figure out the pod thing for almost a month!! I had to use google, because even the manual (I thought) didn't even explain this!

TIP 1 : the Baur is ( in my opinion ) best used semi automatic Mainly because it improves accuracy and it saves ammo ( very good for the baur ). thinking semi's not good for close encounter's, i beg to difer ( i think its spelled that way ) if you practice semi at close ranges you can take down an enemy faster than full auto. another thing to keep in mind is that a head shot with the baur ( very easy when you engaged an enemy at close ranges in semi) will drop his health down to 1/2, killing an enemy is as easy as 2 *clicks*. using this tecqnique i got my k/d with the baur to 4 ( and rapidly augmenting )

FYI, the K/D ratio is determined by how many kills you make with it vs how many kills other people made with the same gun.

My tip is NEVER scope or crouch. It only slows you down and speed is of the essence in this game. You can thank me later.

Those who fire and run away, regain surprise when they fire from another way

It also greatly decreases your accuracy and makes you a larger target. The cons far outweigh the pros on that method of playing.

That's why you only use the shotgun and flank. Geez!

When driving tanks while operating in a squad be sure to sync shield deployment. Because the shied is able to defend a larger area than just your tank(or other vehicle) so by keeping an eye out it is possible to shield your tank or tanks from others for a much longer time and with a higher frequenty.

Basically: tanks operating in a squad should never deploy theyr shields at the same time when the little red indicator starts to light up, instead pop your shield and get infront of your squadmembers tank

( mostly usefull for gunships which keep picking on your tankline.)

Let's me see what tips I can conjure up from my spell book:

1) Instead of hunting down an enemy, your priority should be placing yourself on the ground you want to engage the enemy.

- To clarify that, instead of trying to take out one enemy, find a spot that will help you knock out more than one. Letting go of one enemy won't hurt especially if it's a risky firefight.

2) Use the mini map, it'll tell you what direction the enemy is facing, then engage accordingly. Despite how fast one can turn, most people's swivel has a major jam.

3) If you can't kill it, don't mess with it. Same goes for enemies, there is no need to engage every single enemy war fighter you see.

4) Reload.

5) Let someone else go first... My favorite thing is when someone is moving to a corner they wish to go around, and a friendly knows there are enemies there so they blow by with sprint to get the glorious kill, but they end up getting shot up because of the short delay between sprint and Mouse Button 1. Patience.

Keep the kits ready!

If you get revived you will end up with kit you had in the start, also you may end up with the kit selected in the kit screen, handy way to switch into support when stuck in somewhere where you are having rocket wars with other squads!

Good way to get your squad lead up when there are many hostiles and they don't know youre there is to throw frag grenade on hes body and then run on the body (keeping in mind that you let it blow first)

Tank (--and transport--) gunners are best when vehicle is stationary, if you miss with your main cannon switch to secondary and get rid of those annoying engineers popping their heads behind hills!

There is trick to get your rockets go into straighten line: Go crouch and up while shooting and they won't drop as much as they would when not doing this.

Always try to be one step ahead of your foe, if he thinks he got you, pull back and wait for him to run after you, he won't have time to shoot back!

Use all intel you can, for your favor or to counter your foe: Enemies are able to see deployed medic hubs through walls, so remember when you go to heal, don't drop it on your feet, instead keep it in hand if you know no1 is following or to nearby cover if someone is.
If you know where they are and that they too have ids up / uav, try make it look like you don't know where they are or that you aren't ready.

Hopefully got some useful tips that didn't come up already O.o

0.o The anticipation of getting the revive points is too great! Sadly, when I look up the grenade I just threw follows me the whole way. Not a suicide tactic, just suicide stupidity.

Just a quickie:

When firing rockets in a heavily contested area, after you fire move to a new spot. People are going to see where your Rockets are coming from and if you stay where you are, you're going to get rocket'd back.

First rule of mobile artillery: Move, Fire, Repeat.

**MrJengles** · 06-28-2009, 09:08 PM

One I've found useful:

When you are being chased and go around a corner, throw a grenade just before the edge so that when the enemy chasing you turns it, he gets blown up by the grenade he didn't even know was there. Keep in mind that there are some walls with alcoves where the same can be done, just when the enemy think they have you cornered. Although you probably have to throw the grenade into the open so as not to blow yourself up. If they don't see it, they die; if they do see it, they run away rather than rush around the corner and kill you.
