if you're not shooting, reload. even if you still have half the magazine left. start every fight with a full magazine.
don't crouch. for some reason every newbie fps player i've ever known has tried to spend the whole game crouching.. like, for stealth or a stable firing platform or whatever the **** is going on in their heads... all it does is slow you down and put your head at a convenient shooting height. there are exceptions of course, but yah... don't crouch.
shamelessly follow teammates. shoot what they shoot. combine your damage. anybody who bitches about stealing their kills, you respond with "well how do you know i didn't just save your life?" some of the time you might actually save his life.
of course there are some teammates you simply cannot follow, like snipers. unless you have a sniper rifle to, you are probably useless shooting from where they shoot. plus lets just be honest, most snipers are useless in their own right. the same goes for "run people over with an LAV guy" you can spot "run people over with an LAV guy" because he will be ignoring all objectives and closed off areas, endlessly patrolling the roads, looking for someone to run over in his LAV. this is not the teammate you want to be shadowing.
if all else fails, stay near an objective. any objective. even if there's not a lot of action there at the moment. in a game with multiple objectives, most players have a tendency to just run after anything they don't own. but you usually don't need EVERY objective to win. it's better to defend 2 full time, than lose 2 because you completely abandoned them to take the 3rd.
carry gear. nano hives, repair kits, drop uplinks, nanite injectors, whatever. so long as you use them.
but heads up: i would actually consider the injector more of an advanced logi tool. cuz think of it this way.. that guy has to be dead for you to revive him. so somebody had to have killed him... so you have to be able to finish that guy who killed him off before you can revive him.
nanite injectors are awesome, and can save teammates a lot of money, but mindlessly chasing revives without the ability to clear the area is a great way to get you killed and your teammate RE-killed. |

3 - talk to people
How? Does voice comms work? I've had a headset plugged in all evening, and have been trying regular comms checks, but with no success. I've enabled voice and push-to-talk in the options (and yes, I *am* pushing the PTT button).
yah just disable push to talk. also there are seperate channels in game for squad and team. try hopping into the team channel and see if anyone is talking there.
you swap by hitting select in game or in the war barge, you'll see a team tab, when you click on it you'll get a prompt to "enable voice" and that'll swap you to the team wide channel.
of course then you can't hear people in the squad channels, even YOUR squad but... eh. |
