Could do with tips for how to play with latency cause some rules tend to need to be broken.

WTF, “rely little on radar”?? No thanks, I always, ALWAYS, use my radar. It’s like my life line

#4

Gosh, I need to aim to maximize my bullets hitting? I didn’t realize this. /s

Majority of your tips is what should already be common sense. And it is an absolutely horrible idea to activate smart scope in close quarters entirely. And melee is never always a last resort. Sometimes it’s a good thing to melee first.

#5

Save best reqs for end of match? If you’re dominating enough to call a high level req in then first priority should be getting high level stuff like vehicles in to secure the win. Getting high level reqs first is like getting power weapons first in arena; chances are the person with them first will secure map control if they’re good.

I can’t get behind this one. It’s already bad enough that people hardly call in Reqs during the match while the enemy team bombards them with their own Reqs. Instead of waiting until the very end of the game, I’d rather somebody call something in that can change the tide of the battle during the match.
