I myself decided to make a guide on one of the most basic things in the game, movement. Ive searched this and didnt see this in specific, but if its here don't flame or anything, forgive.
Anyway...
On the battlefield movement is your best friend, it can save your life numerous times.
1. Not getting hit by bullets or not getting killed.
A.If you are pinned down by multiple troops or even just one person, you may have the advantage, but still you should be spamming the Z, control, shift, and space key like theres no tomorrow. Don't give a shit about your rep as a "bunny hoping" or "prone spamming" noob, who the hell cares. I find that one of the easiest ways of avoiding fire is to hold D or A (strafe keys) while spamming control and Z to go from prone to crouch. Or even doing the same but using control and space to go from jumping to crouching while strafing. When doing this, its a lot harder to hit you, especially from a distance. Or when moving forward, jump then hit crouch and repeat to process, its harder to hit you because your going from a high position to a low position.
B.If your low on health, dont get greedy, sprint to the safest location you can. Especially with no squad hopping in the current patch, when you die you might be spawning a very long way away (and nobody likes taking long hikes on the battlefield when theres no vehicles around). I've actually noticed when not going for the kill when low on health, I end up getting less deaths and getting more points. Or if you are low on health, find a safe place, wait there a bit then come back out and if the same enemy that lowered your health in the first place is still there, chances are he has forgotten about you and you can come out and own him.
C.If someone starts grenade spamming at you, don't just sit there, charge the bastard while hes ripe for killing. Everytime somebody throws a grenade towards you, you will rarely die. As soon as you see a grenade land near you, sprint to a safe location or rush the guy who threw it, he'll be defenseless. And if you only see one grenade come at you, once it explodes be on your best senses because a second one will most likely be coming your way.
2. Going from place to place.
A. When theres no vehicle around, I know you like to get to the location faster by sprinting, but reserve your sprint and use the normal jog. I find it that I die less when not using sprint because when you come under enemy fire, you have sprint to get to a safe location. Or this works well too, hold sprint (shift) for about 1 second then let it go for maybe a second, and repeat. You still go faster then just jogging, but you'll still have some sprint left when the time comes.
B. When moving, try to move with a group of troops so your back will always be covered. When moving with other troops, the chance of not getting killed will probably greatly increase.
C. When moving to somewhere, there is most likely 2 ways to go, the longer less dangerous way, or the fastest more dangerous way. Choose wisely, but try to find a route in the middle, where there will be still a chance of enemies coming and it won't take too too long to get there but won't be too fast.
D. If you absolutely must swim to get somewhere, fine do it. But if you don't have to, don't do it. You become and easy kill if seen since you cant wield a weapon and it just take longer.
3. Cover
A. When moving, try to choose a route where there is always somewhere to hide form enmies or to take cover. I think its safe to say that running out in the open is a stupid idea.
B. When hiding or taking cover, don't move, you may just be seen moving or the enemy may hear you and come get you.
4. Move to kill.
A. Everybody loves kill, but to kill you must see your prey. Its kind of obvious to move somewhere where you can kill an enemy, but try to pick a spot where more of his body is exposed and less of yours is exposed, for example a window.
B. If you can, pick a spot where you can see the enemy but are less likely to be seen yourself.
For now, that's about it, I know this guide is very very obvious in some parts, but I don't know I just got board and felt like doing something
