#1 - play nicely. this is sort of a twist of the golden rule, and oddly enough, alot of people forget it. if you are doing something to somebody, stop and think, would i mind if i was in his shoes? such a simple concept that will earn you alot of repect.
#2 - Teamwork is the name of the game. suck it up, i dont care if you just cant wait until your a lance lieutenant commander whateverthehell or if you are really trying to get that i-blow-myself-up-alot badge. TEAMWORK. you are here to win. that doesnt mean to do anything to win, that means that you and your team work as one to kill/assault/capture the other teams assets.
#3 - Dont camp assets. that doestn mean dont basecamp. that means if you really want to fly the plane, play single-player. dont sit around for 20 mins waiting for your turn to fly the plane; thats not how it works. instead of sitting about with your finger in your anus, actually do something. i dont even really care if your really great at flying that plane - youll be really great for capturing a flag, not sitting around watching the grass not grow.
#4 - Follow orders. unless the commander has proven he is totally incapable (like ordering a lonewolf sniper to go repair an asset, or by asking to you capture an uncapturable flag) then assume that he sees things that you dont, because, he probably does. Even if you dont think his strategy works, then realize, A CRAPPY STRATEGY WORKS MORE OFTEN THAN NONE AT ALL. if he continues to be a jackass, point it out over the chat menu. this doesnt take a great deal of time.
#5 - Dont shoot your teammates. why should i elaborate on this? i dont care if you just got TKed for taking the tank. every bullet you put into a friendly is a negative point for you team. dont punish the entire team because somebody is a jackass. on the flip side, dont shoot the guy that just took your tank you just camped for 10 minutes for. better yet, dont camp for that tank.
#6 - Do your job. by job, i mean class. if somebody is right in front of you, kill them, but other than that, a medic heals, an engineer repairs and mines, and support should resupply anybody that needs it. once your job is done, figure out how to help the team, or better yet, follow your orders.
#7 - Dont make it hard for other people to do their job. Dont kill the pilot to take his plane. dont sit down right beside the sniper and start jumping around and shooting your gun. this should be simple, but alot of people ignore it.
#8 - Accidents happen. yeah, that bastard shot you, but maybe he was jumpy. i dont know, but forgive and forget. if it continues to happen, well, then its not an accident now is it?
#9 - Dont punish when people dont deserve it. this really should be higher up on the list. dont just automatically assume that they are an ass. dont use the excuse "but everybody just punishes me!"...what if everybody was jumping off a bridge without a parachute? would you do it?
#10 - Dont be a liability. first, do no harm. if you need to practice with that heli, do it offline or in an unranked server. dont use up team assets (including tickets) by not knowing what you are doing. new to the game? practice offline for a little bit so you know your ass from a grenade.
follow these 10 and nobody will hate you. if everybody followed these 10, then well, there wouldnt be alot of room to complain, now would there be?
