I haven't played much and am still getting my head around this game. I might bind my pistol to 1 instead of 2 as it keeps throwing me off when I run out on a clip in a firefight and need to make the switch.

What tips you guys got for me? Stuff you wish you knew at the start?

-For me anyway, I find using the foregrip on support guns gives the best results if you run and gun a lot. The damn bipod always seems to set up at the worst time and gets me killed a lot.
-Make sure you knife from behind! Doesn't register right if you're looking right at the guy.
-Pistols are surprisingly powerful.
-The starting guns for each class are actually pretty good.
-To be honest, the foregrip, surpressor, and holo or rds are probably the best configuration for each gun, once you unlock them.
-Higher magnification scopes give you away when you're scoped. It shows up as a white circle to the other player.
-I still can't find a good reason to use the tac light or laser pointer. They only give you away and they don't seem to offer much benefit. The blinding of the tac light rarely prevents me from killing the other guy.
-Don't be like snipers I've seen where they're using the laser with their sniper rifle. Makes no sense (improves accuracy when firing from the hip) and gives your position away.
-The audio is pretty good. If you hear a lot of pops that sound like they're from far away, run and hide. A sniper is probably trying to blow your head off.
-In fact, listen for the other team's chatter. Like when they drop a medkit or ammo kit, the soldier will say something.
-Spot your face off. I get a decent amount of spot assists each round, sometimes 30 seconds after I spot the guy that I lost sight of. Only worth 10 points, but gives you something extra for pressing the Q key.

Yeah, I ended up going back and smoke launching them out and putting a laser sight in their eyes. There are worthless fucks for every class though, the medics that will run out and revive you in front of enemies getting themselves killed too, etc.

i like getting revived so i never complain about that. they really need to fix the gay ass shit where youre frozen after getting revived tho. and also you should get kills for killing people who just got revived but havent hit space bar yet

nope

yeah should have just a little more time to revive
i really like the option to accept the revive
i think you should get a kill if you kill the guy that gets revived, even if he doesnt accept it, but he shouldnt get a death

Not if they haven't pressed space bar. I like it the way it is, because ultimately you get to decide if you want to get back into the fight or not. I think they need to increase the window for being able to be revived. It's like 5 seconds right now? Or does it depend on respawn time set by the server?

nah man its the full time until you can respawn again
