1) How many points either team has (if they disarm your beacon it will give them 300 points)

2) How many people are in the game (the more people on their team the more chance you/beacon will be found.

3) Chance of success, NEVER EVER deploy a beacon if you can not defend it for long, if you are killed it will only take them 10 seconds to disarm it

4) Go as a team, do go in on your own and deploy the beacon, take a few other people that can help you defend the beacon (a group of 5 SBH works VERY well)

5) Put down your timed C4 if you have it, when I blows up if the enemy is disarming it they might get killed.

6) Try to hide you beacon as much as you can, if people cant see it they cant disarm it.

7) Dont buy a beacon if you are a n00b (no j/k) too many times I ave seen a n00b buy one and screw the whole thing up.

Lay more than one beacon, get a few others to come with you and deploy a beacon too, they may disarm one beacon but can they disarm 5?

9) Dont be seen by the enemy or they will follow you and kill you (and let you deploy the beacon so they can clame points)

10) Look at the time left, it takes about 40-50 seconds befor the nuke/Ion cannon hits and if there is 30 second left then you cant destory a building using it BUT 30 seconds is enough time for them to disarm the bacon.

I can think of loads more but I'm not going to post them because there are too many.

Hehe, once, in walls, Nod set a beacon in the war factory, me and a hotwire found it and started to disarm it, but since we got there kinda late the missle started to fall, soon after the hotwire ran off but I stayed. A few seconds later I managed to disarm the beacon, but the funny (and very freaky thing is) I could see the missle in the factory. It was literaly 1 second from hitting. I laughed so hard at that.

Always nice seeing everybody running away from the beacon while it has 5\% left.

I like nothing more than to see a groupe of eng running away from the beacon... when it was our beacon they ran away from

If possible when placing the beacon alert snipers, they can cover the beacon quite effectively. Though for this you take away the aspect of the beacon being hidden, however if the snipers are good it can mean the difference between a successful beacon placement.

Much safer just to kill the stealth first off. It's extremely hard to follow one unless you're right on top of him in which case he probably notices. Otherwise, he'll fade out of view. I usually whip out my pistol (often I'm an engineer) and fire at him until I kill him or until someone does.

Works well if you see a stealth tank, too. fire at it with a pistol to keep it somewhat visible until a teammate with better firepower sees it and takes it out.
