After playing on the only 24/7 Smoke Screen server, with 13 vs 26 teams, and 7 of the thriteen on my (MEC) team waiting at the airfield, while we were continually raped by 6 tanks, as we had no arty which couldnt be repaired as there were guys all over our main base, I decided to write this.
This is not a serious guide, rather an illustration of what I see on the battlefield.
A Guide to Playing, by Talon
1. Infantry
-Always take the shortest route from A to B.
-When you spot an enemy, go prone instantly and start blasting him. Even if the enemy is 60m away, has a sniper rifle and you have an MP5, going prone will either guarantee a kill or give you the excuse that "he had a better weapon." Thats ok.
-Never crouch, after all, the control button is just too far away from the Z button.
-Never try to dodge enemy fire at the expense of your own. The ideal fight is two guys, prone, facing each other, blasting on full auto.
-Never advance slowly, you will get no points. Instead, rush in very quickly and get lots of kills before dying.
-When Anti-Tanking, stand infront of the tank, in the middle of the road, and fire at the front of the tank, where it is strongest. You'll do the tank 1/5 damage, he'll kill you, and you call him a "tank whore". Thats ok.
-Always spawn in the base nearest to the enemy. if they arty or bomb you, they're baseraping and are cheaters.
-When your mainbase is under attack, spawn as a medic and revive people. Or, go for the nearest base, as most enemies are there and you'll get more kills. Never go for an empty base.
-Never play assault, as you can't get heal/revive points.
-If autobalance is off, switch to the winning/biggest team.
-Never give ammo bags, medic bags or repairs. It wastes time you could be killing enemies.
-Never play Zatar Wetlands, it has no points.
2. Jeeps
-Always follow the road. If you stray off the road, you might get lost. If you see a tank, drive at him, you get killed and he is a "tank whore".
-Always drive right inside the enemy base, so everyone knows you are there and you can kill lots of people. Never stop inside and walk in.
-Never pick people up. After all, you got there first.
-When entering a jeep, always accelerate immidiately get to enemies quicker. Don't worry about running people over.
3. Tanks
-Always follow the road. In this way you will meet lots of tanks/jeeps/APCs.
-On encountering an enemy tank, stop, then shoot. Then reverse, go forward, shoot again. Reversing makes it harder for them to hit you. Rinse and repeat. The one who shot first will win.
-Never try to go around the enemy tank and go for weak spots. Stay to the procedure above.
-Never move the tank and turret at the same time. Move the tank, stop, move the turret, move the turret back to centre, and move the tank again.
4. Airfields
-If someone is waiting for a plane, wait next to them, and try to push them away from the spawn.
-If they get the plane, run under the plane. They teamkill you, and they are a planewhore.
-If your team is losing, wait for the plane.
-If your team is winning, wait for the plane.
-Remember, there are only 2 planes and 32 players, so you must fly the plane every time, otherwise nobody else will.
-When getting in a helicopter, never wait for a gunner.
-Fly very low to the ground if you have a gunner so he can't use his missiles and nick your points.
-If you get artied/bombed while waiting for a plane, spawn again and take your old position.
