HIde your mines, lead your target, stay close to your SL, right click grenade drops it instead of a through, keep your supplies or medic packs grouped together.

Show us your what???

**Specop937** · 10-11-2009, 10:23 PM

Don't know if it's been said, but if you kill a guy in an enemy squad, throw a nade, or rockets on the dead guy's body. (rockets work best , because of the distance) On the TG server, your almost guareenteed to get another 2 kills becuase people tend to be revived shortly after death.

Have a squad member hang back a bit from the squad if possible, if no else is doing it, do it yourself, but follow the squad, if people go down you have time to scan the area ahead, hopefully take out an enemy or two and revive those that are down.

You can reload while sprinting.

This is my recipe for freaking out Zhohar when I'm in his squad......usually though I don't so much hang back as fall behind but when the squad gets wiped and suddenly I appear and get his revive and everyone spawns back on him and we push on and finish the job we set out to do. Gives me a warm glow inside to be able to freak out a true master of 2142!

Indeed, not many feelings better than sprinting to dead Zhohar, adrenaline pumping through your veins and reviving him in a hail of bullets, only to have the rest of the squad spawn in and start owning everything. TBH it only happened like twice, but it was pretty cool

There's probably someone that already said it, but you can get your IDS-PDS back when you miss the wlaker for example... by pressing "G".

Also, you can use the power of true love while playing, it will always help you to get your objective.

**ArmoredBear** · 10-14-2009, 04:27 PM

In a similar vein to KossT's post, a deployed APM can be picked up with G/pickup kit and crouch keys while holding the other APM. I have not found a way to retrieve both APMs if they are deployed. Unused APMs are such a waste.

**Stickybandit** · 10-14-2009, 05:40 PM

You can pick up Sentry Guns with G as well. Dunno if it's been posted.

**XXXDemon007** · 10-14-2009, 09:30 PM

You can pick up pretty much everything with "G" actually. I'm not sure if you can pick up motion mines 'cause i don't play engineer much, but you can pick up everything exept med and ammo hubs. RDX, APMs, (Both of them AB

you just have to spam G until they both get picked up) Support Shields, Sentry Guns, Beacons, IDSs, PDSs, Ghosts etc. can all be picked up. I've probably forgotten others but you get the idea. when in doubt, press G.

**boosteryu** · 10-15-2009, 03:31 AM

When you're in a vehicle, use the 3rd person view (Default F9 to F12).
If you're flying, remove that annoying cockpit (Default F9).

**-Str!ker-** · 10-15-2009, 02:27 PM

You can damage mechs with any gun by shooting the bottom vents. You never will really kill it, but it makes for one heck of a distraction.

**Stickybandit** · 10-15-2009, 02:56 PM

Heh dunno, I've seen some walkers go down mighty quick when they get EMP locked on an infantry-centric map. 2 whole squads running up and unloading into the vents is pretty nasty.
The vents are a one-hit kill if you hit them with an engineer weapon though, which is pretty easy if they don't know you're there or are EMPed.

**Fruvous** · 10-15-2009, 03:04 PM

(1) Squad members / Squad leaders: Convey intell. People are in the back of Junkyard. Squadlead is down. There's a hole in the bucket. They're on the catwalks.
(1.618) Telling the SquadLead what to do is not intell. Suggestions are welcome, SM orders are not.
In addition, saying "Put a beacon down!" will sometimes warrant a TK.
==
(2) Belgrade: there are places that like to explode.
Please resist temptation to enter the explosions, even if the explosions are shiny and pretty.
==
(3) If your commander is competent, never request for orbitalstrike/emp
(3.14) If you are a commander, orbitals go over your enemies, not friends. Especially when said friendlies are capping flags.
You are not 'protecting' them. Firing explosive space bullets into a friendly squad does not constitute 'protecting them'
==
(4) If a friendly is dead, the place where he died is dangerous. It is usually best not to revive an exploding corpse.
==
(5) You have been teamkilled. Press page-up.
(5.5) It is pitchblack. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
==
(6) Squadleaders: Ask for a person to camp vehicle spawns when capping a flag.
Verdun Church: Walker
Verdun Uncap outposts: Tank, walker
Sidi Reactor: Gunship
Sidi Reactor-sides: Walker
Sidi Uncap outposts: Tank
etc
==
(7) Q-Spot. It's sexy.
(7.14) It is so sexy, you shouldn't google images for "q-spot" with safe-search off.
==
(8) If you go support, bring an IDS.
When using support, put an IDS down.
If your squad is moving, put an IDS down. Then pick it up or resupply. Then place another one.

If you want to EMPlock someone, throw down your ammo/lunch box. Equip EMPs. Throw. Rinse wash repeat forever.

==
(9) don'tgooglethistitle
==
(10) If you can shoot someone, they (and probably three others) can usually shoot you too. Solution: Bring friends or hide.
==
(9) Do a barrel roll!
==
(10) When facing Fruvous, you must pay a 'protection fee' of 2 bits of string-cheese. And never question his counting skills. Or his grammar.
==
(11) Get up on the hydra's back!
==
(12) Squadleads: you can get non-VOIPers to cooperate/volunteer. Page-up test.
"I need an engineer"
[silence]
"Soandso, I see your mic going on but I hear no sound. If you want to engineer, press page-up."
[pageup]
==
(13) Sometimes, you should make silly squad names.
==
(14) Skittle-flavored rockets AKA Rainbow-rockets AKA 4 medics shooting 12 rockets behind one crate
This is very pretty. But that's all it is. Fire rockets somewhere else
==
(15) Know your reload times, especially if you're a shotgun.
If you don't have enough time to reload, toss/drop a grenade and run towards the nearest friendly.
Whoever's chasing you will likely be killed by said friendly.
==
(88) No matter what people may tell you ingame, pressing alt and F4 at the same time will not yield more unlocks
