Hint, Advantages and Tactics:
As the title suggests this post is all about the advantages that can be taken advantage of
.
1)Anyone have a drop shotter or halo jumper in a game, well go medic as you will find most of these players will have sapper helmets so the Engineer's and Sniper's mines are useless and the Rifleman's weapons are far too accurate for dealing with these tactics unless your a seasoned player. Medic has the best weapons for this problem a.k.a. the shotguns. No aiming needed just point and shoot. Think of it as clay pigeon shooting
2)Always help a Sniper up top on a map as sniper cover is brilliant when the odds are stacked against you. Also if there's two Snipers you can generally cover the map with just the two of you so please keep these guys happy and well stocked.
3)Rifleman please don't rush out in a suicidal rush as a Medic would. Your guns are perfect for suppressing fire so a well played Medic can rush in for those close combat kills
while this is happening your Engineer friends can lay their mines to better protect the battlefield.
4)Always have one class equipped with a sapper helmet and anti explosive vest for those occasions when the enemy has filled the battlefield with claymores but there's no point in having it on all your classes.
5)If you find your always in a game with overwhelming odds because your team is too afraid of helping then use the map against your enemies. There's always corners to use for an ambush and don't forget you can move to different places so you always surprise your enemy, nothing works better than your enemy being paranoid about where you will come from next. Predictable enemies are easy to kill.
6)Try finding some bushes to hide in for problem matches. Shrubbery makes for excellent cover...Fetch me a shrubbery!!!
7)Maps like crossing allow for dirty tactics (not camping please I don't like camping) because you can use everything from terrain to buildings to make a defensive or offensive position. Think about how easy it could be for one player to pop out and kill an entire team on their own
8)If you have a team mate that keeps getting themselves killed then instead of kicking him/her you can always use them as bait. Let them go out and cause their mayhem and then wipe the floor with the enemy team as they focus on killing this one person instead of only one or two of them going for the kill. Almost all teams are greedy so hell why not turn a negative into a positive
9)When you have the majority of the team constantly going off on one as a unit (instead of spreading out) you will find you can use these guys as bait too. You will not be much of a threat compared to a whole team which will allow you to slip through the cracks.
10)Find choke points and abuse them. Overwhelming odds are nothing compared to a well placed grenade. Lay down a little extra covering fire then lob a grenade for a devastating kill count, if it's a crywar then please follow through to finish them off.
11)Pick your targets. Kill the threat against you first and then the other guy. Too many times have I seen people go for 2+ people and they always take out the ones not facing them. Why do that when you could kill the one/s facing you for a multi kill. This is in all FPS games same with the rest of these tactics.
Hope you all will enjoy these hints as much as I do. More tactics will be presented soon and don't forget you can post your findings here too and take credit for them.
