That makes sense 🙂 Is there a hotkey for voice chat by the way? Or do you need another program like mumble? ---

- Assault → Drop Medkits and revives teammates - Support → Drop Ammo packs and focus on killing vehicles/choppers - Engineer → Repair fellow vehicles - Recon → Spot ennemies (worth for all classes though) ---

Be the god damned box fairy. Use the training room helicopters to learn the basic manuvers. No, you will never be high enough to 360 the heli. Dont bother sniping with recon till you’re a good shot. Upgrade your carbines Get the M4 C4 on the objectives rarely works. Claymores on objectives. Learn the maps Communicate Aim to balance, if you’ve got 10 snipers on your team, play a different class. If you want to farm XP, actually rush in rush. Arm and Arm over and over agian. Clear rooms before you go into them. Always be ready for enemy armor. Boats, 9/10, are not for extended combat. ---

I mostly agree with this, but I was disappointed that the M4 is single/burst fire only. I prefer the AK5C, the SG553, and the G36C over the M4 so far. I don’t just spray at people from a distance, but it’s nice to be able to do so when someone surprises you up close. Also, I don’t want to have to switch between single/burst when firing at a distant target. At least with full auto you aren’t forced to fire three rounds every time you tap the trigger. I still need to get more attachments for the M4 though. ---

I like this. This has some good advice. Luckily i dont like sniping but the other things are things i either forget frequently or (like clearing the room) communicating or just forgot existed (helicopter training). I’m assuming the box fairy is the support to refill ammo or the assault to heal? ---

Yep. When ever you see someone, drop a box on em. ---

Agreed. Also play your class drop med packs, repair vehicles, and ammo when your squad needs it. ---
