Hint: Equipment tips:
The plasma gun is a must -- its high power and rapid fire make for a
tremendous weapon once you penetrate the enemy base. The grenade launcher is
also very powerful and versatile. The blaster is weak for most combat -- you
will often find yourself blown apart by the enemy's plasma gun or disc
launcher.
The repair pack should be distant third choice for most gamers. The energy
pack offers a increased range of flight and can keep you alive as most
opponents cannot hit you in air. The second choice should be the shield pack,
especially for players that have use the "action hero" approach and go off on
their own. Properly used, its effects are devastating.
Grenades and beacons are very valuable to any player class. Dropping a few
grenades while hovering over an opponent is a great way to walk away from the
fight. Beacons are great for marking a target for a heavy teammate to blast
with the mortar.
Hint: Avoid moving too slow:
If you have a player using "heavy armor" you will need an energy pack just to
get out of your base. Using medium armor with a shield pack is suggested so
you can take just as many hits without being very slow.
Hint: Capture the flag mode:
In capture the flag mode (Raindance, Fog of War), sell your chaingun and
bullets and buy a "Energy Pack". This will help you get to the flag and
escape. Also, make sure that you are using light armor. Once you get to a
tower (Raindance) you will notice a room by the opposing flag. Throw a grenade
in the room and this should stun your opponent long enough to grab the flag
and get out.
