1. The first thing i always say at the beginning of a battle is: "someone mine the AGT/oblisk and the tunnels. You should do it as well most of the time they listnen to you.

2. When playing in small amounts (4-8 players per team) always tell your team mates: someone always stay here at anytime to repair, wait for an anwser and if noone gives you any stay back yourself as a hotwire/ tech.

3. Try to find a game where the so called "driver gunner" option is disabled so that the second pesanger is the gunner in a tank.
This always is usefull becouse the driver can focus on driving and running over enemy's and the gunner can focus on the shooting and can turn al around so he can shoot behind the tanks as well(sometimes gives you and advantage).

4. This is my golden rule and should never be forgoten:
Never ever leave your tank in the open snipers can kill you givving their team the chance to get your tank.
Also never use a tank as a APC becouse of its armor. Becouse when reashed your target your own tanks can be used against you and you wont like it ( aspecialy with a mamoth).
Keep this one in the back of your head i losed a lot of battles becous ppl made this mistake.

5. When you see a open tank always try to get it.
It can give you a big advantage, example:
Your on GDI and you see an open NOD buggy.
Seems unimportant but get it up anyway and drive it back to the base, inform your team mates first or they will shoot you, Once the buggy is repaired you can the an engi and go to the enemy's base, the defence will detect you but the players will thing its just a buggy trying to get home.
This can mean the defrents between live and death.

6. Your having trouble with those nasty flame rushes and always losing you AGT becouse your team isnt repairing?
Here is what to do:
Get a hot wire and mine the entrance with 8 mines not more, then refill again and trow your mines all around the AGT encountering with icoming tanks. when done this you can choose to stay there and keep and eye open or attack the base like everybuddy els.

When you choose to stay i recoment to take a personal i0on cannon as a weapon becouse it can take down flametanks with easy.

7. Defend your Power plant at any cost becouse without it youl be in deep sh*t,
The cost for everything but the free units and the beacons will be doubled and the base defences are offline.
Mine the powerplants entrance and around the powerplant as above with the AGT.

8. Here is a lesson in placing beacons:
When placing a beacon always put it on the outside becouse when ou but it inside it will be found faster and you dont have much hiding places to defend your victory.
when placing it outside however you can hide behind a rock and when they start repairing put a bullet in their head, the fuse is only 20 sec so you only have to hold on for 15 second becouse the defusing will take more then 7 sec with a hotwire/tech.

The best way to deploy a beacon is with a stealth soldier or tank (for tank read below)

9. When placing a beacon with a stealth tank at your side deploy the beacon and hop back in. when the engi's come to repair just run them over.

10. And last but not least the sniper.
In some maps there are bunkers to be found and many ppl think thats a good place for a sniper to be.
Well it may seem that your in the dark, noone will see you and you have an exelent view over the map.
The enemy sniper ALWAYS looks at the bunkers first and the dark wont help you with the night vision on the snipers.

You better explore the maps good and find places where a normal sniper would never be, in the wild open if nesecery (hey they might overlook you becouse they are looking at dark spots).

Well thats a few i could think of and i use them a lot you know.

As i said before i have a rank of 1300 and i thank it to these 10 rules.
Have fun with them and please let me know what you think about them.

This tactic doesn't apply to me. why?
Very simple.
I play Treadmarks.

Its a tank DM game, and you either learn to drive in exactly opposte direction your turret [and therfore camera] is facing. i can litrally drive one dicretction and shoot the other in things like humvees, mammoth tanks, and so forth.

EDIT: I remmber buying a mammoth tank, and someone got in. what a prat. he couldn't gun to save his life. and he didn't. both of us got taken down by a stealth tank. it never occured to kill what was attacking us. then he did this a second time...

[ April 14, 2002: Message edited by: Loké ]

In Options, under Controls, there is an option to turn on CAMERA WILL FOLLOW VEHICLE TURRET!!

TURN THIS ON!!!

Now, when you move your tank turret to the left, the camera will not be stuck in position looking to the front of your tank, but will move according to the barrel! You'll be looking straight down your barrel at ALL times!!
Personally I think it is ABSOLUTELY essential to have this option turned ON!
When retreating back to base for repairs, you can still shoot at any enemies attacking you. You may even be able to kill them before they kill you.

OPTIONS -> CONTROLS -> LOOK/MOUSE -> CHECK BOX FOR 'LOCK VEHICLE CAMERA TO TURRET'

HAPPY TANK FRAGGIN!

my stopwatch said:

exactly 5 seconds to plant beacon
exactly 48 seconds to blow

48
+5
--
53 seconds for a beacon strike

so if there is only 52 seconds left, there is no need to plant that beacon (it only gives the enemy points when they disarm it)

1. The first thing i always say at the beginning of a battle is: "someone mine the AGT/oblisk and the tunnels. You should do it as well most of the time noobs listnen to you.
Unless you play with total idiots this is normally taken care of without spamming '
"defend the base".
"defend the base".
"defend the base".
"defend the base".
Of course if you have no clue where to place c4 just throw it everywhere. That rumor about a limit of 30 is false!!!!

2. When playing in small amounts (4-8 players per team) always tell your team mates: someone always stay here at anytime to repair,
Because someone has to be the boss and order all the rest of the morons around! you are all too dumb to play this game LOL

3. Try to find a game where the so called "driver gunner" option is disabled so that the second pesanger is the gunner in a tank and steals all of the driver/owners points.
This always is usefull becouse the driver can focus on driving and running over enemy's and the gunner can focus on the shooting and can turn al around so he can shoot behind the tanks as well(sometimes gives you and advantage).
This is a very popular tactic and almost as good as not buying vehicles when there are a continous supply rolling out of the airstrip/weapons factory. Why waste all of your credits. Also a great way to make freinds.
The people who by those vehicles don't have the skills to use them anyway. Nobody should try to drive a tank all by their self! too much skill required (almost as hard as tying a shoe)

4. This is my golden rule and should never be forgoten:
always ever leave your tank in the open so
snipers can kill you giving their team the chance to get your tank.
Also never use a tank as a APC becouse of its armor. Becouse when reashed your target your own tanks can be used against you and you wont like it ( aspecialy with a mamoth).
Keep this one in the back of your head i losed a lot of battles becous ppl made this mistake.
Never have a driver keep the APC so that he can make another trip or act as a diversion while people are atacking the building/ APCS are disposable and it is good form just to take one to the enemy baseas a peace offering

5 If you receive the gift mentioned in
It can give you a big advantage, example:
Your on GDI and you see an open NOD apc
Seems unimportant but get it up anyway and drive it back to the base, inform your team mates first or they will shoot you, Once the buggy is repaired you can the an engi and go to the enemy's base, the defence will detect you but the players will thing its just a buggy trying to get home.
Because nobody has ever tried this one before and who would expect it!
This can mean the defrents between live and death. HUKT ON FONX WURKT FER ME TEW!!!!

6. Your having trouble with those nasty
unexpected flame rushes and always losing you AGT becouse your not repairing?
Here is what to do:
Get a hot wire and mine the entrance with 8 mines Not more then refill again and trow your mines all around the AGT so that you'll only have 14 on this one building. Why does everybody tell me we only get 30?
I can just keep buying them. Maybe you guys have bad copys of the game!!!!
encountering with icoming tanks. when done this you can choose to stay there and keep and eye open or attack the base like everybuddy els.

When you choose to stay i recoment to take a personal i0on cannon as a weapon becouse it can take down flametanks with easy.

The cost for everything but the free units and the beacons will be doubled and the base defences are offline.
Mine the powerplants entrance and around the powerplant as above with the AGT.
remember you get all the c4 yo want,no limit
so the fact that we now have 28 c4 on 2 buildings is not a problem.

8. Here is a lesson in placing beacons:
When placing a beacon always put it on the outside becouse when ou but it inside it will be found faster and you dont have much hiding places to defend your victory.
when placing it outside however you can hide behind a rock and when they start repairing put a bullet in their head, the fuse is only 20 sec so you only have to hold on for 15 second becouse the defusing will take more then 7 sec with a hotwire/tech.
( this one was so screwed up that I didn't change it)

I would like to see your tips.
ttssss n00b.

You really need to go back to first grade, too. Your spelling is horrendous, and I think in your case, it should be a felony to breed.

As for repairing.. seems obvious, but I still find games where everyone rushes off to attack the enemy and just assumes that someone stayed behind to repair the base.

As a side note, I don't see where the original poster said anything to deserve the insults. Heck, for english being a second language, I think he did pretty well (assuming "He", since there's no name to go by). At least he was making an attempt to contribute something worthwhile to the forum.

6)Mining is never not done. As soon as a person gets that $350, someone gets those proxies and mines. (Do you really think we didn't know this already?)
