Thanks for the inputs!

I picked up the games last week and been having fun learning the strategies.

Played mostly medic and engie, as I find these have the most value to the team. Engie is my most played, have to have some offense against those damn tanks.

Starting to play recon, but I've never been a fan of snipers as it seems 50% of each team is recon. Also been learning the maps, knowing where to kneel, how to move.

I was shot by Bacon's M60 way too often so I picked it up and love the gun.

You laugh at 4 wheelers, but they can be pretty practical. As are jeeps and suchs, for quick transport. I sometimes run the edges of a map with one to get behind the enemy. Not possible with Cain's rotations, but the bigger maps let you do that. Very practical.

I just wish there was a bit more squad play. I often find myself capping flags alone, with my squad mates at other flags or just hanging back and sniping.

Love the anti tank minds. Havent done the TnT on tanks yet, but the mines are bloody fun. Drop in front, some in back and wait. Do they stay in the map even though I die? even though I change classes? Or do they despawn when I die...

Fun times... now that I'm off vacation and back to work, less time to play.

dude join teamspeak with us.... the squad play works alot better that way.

Like med kits, mines stay when you die, even if you switch to RPG.

Yup, I like to run around and drop mines near a flag, then run off and do my thing. If they get run over later, free kills.

Mines are awesome and they hang around pretty much forever. I love getting mine kills some deaths, two classes, and 15 minutes after laying them.
