You are one person, against them by yourself you are worth less than a maggot stuck to a fly on the back of cow’s ass. If you don’t play as part of a team, then you should not be playing at all.
Score is everything in this game. NOT YOUR SCORE, but your team’s. In the event of a draw it will decide who wins.
Taking out the power plant causes them to be charged double for everything and turns off any defense building as well.
A lot of people say to take out the weapon’s factory first, but if you leave the barracks for last, then you will find out in a most surprising way that a focused set of people playing with high energy weapon characters can kick a whole lot of ass.
Don’t steal people’s vehicles. If you want a ride and they ask you to get out, get out. They bought it, they should have control of how it is used.
Try everything, even if it seems stupid to you. If you die a lot with the sniper, ask why, and keep asking why until you find the answer. There are certain times and certain places for every character and every vehicle, don’t fall failure to recognize their uses. You will have favorites, we all do, but knowing how to use all of them can mean the difference between your team being bottle-necked by a small force or you knowing how to handle the situation.
Think of new things to do. Don’t look for exploits in the game like a cheater, but think about how using your mind in this game can create some new and interesting challenges. What would mining the enemies harvester path do?
Watch how people play. Learn from them. Learn from your enemies.
Don’t always take the quick route. Sometimes it pays to have a pace and live by it. Learn a tactic that suits you for each map and make a backup plan for when it fails.HOPE THAT HELPS! ENJOY A GREAT GAME!

I have to agree about the barracks/hand killing before the fact/stip. Once the factory is down, everyone turns into infantry... There are many hotwires who mine furiously, and repair even faster. Any attacks made will almost always end in futility, and even if you have a stealth black hand, you have no hope of nuking because of the high number of mobius and patch characters running around the base. SO, newbies, go for the builings in this order: 1. Power plant. (Only if it is a base defense map).
2. Barracks/hand.
3. Fact/strip.
4. Refinery/power (Only on non-base defense maps).

DO NOT STAND STILL. EVER!
not even at the purchase terminal?? lol.. seriously, all these are great tips. but some of them, like building destruction priorities, are perhaps for the more advanced beginner. for the absolute beginner, i'd suggest NOT buying some of the more expensive characters, cuz they're just going to die and give the other team lots of easy points. and wasn't the number 1 priority teamwork? it's not teamwork to give the enemy points. if you are very new and don't have a feel for the game yet, stay as a cheap character and play mostly defensive. observe the actions of others(hopefully they're not as new to this as you are) and learn! learn all the keyboard functions, how to strafe, jump, plant mines, how to switch weapons, etc. know that your enemy isn't going to just stand there and let you shoot him, so don't you either. also know that not everybody on your team is necessarily playing teamwork, and learn the difference. know that the teamchat button is f3, not f2(i used to get the 2 mixed up myself), and don't be afraid to tell your team mates if the enemy is approaching. protect your base with your life(as many lives as it takes), and be an engineer to heal it or other players. and don't be afraid to die. don't retreat out of battle with a tank just because you're a little damaged. there's an infinite list, but the written word just won't substitute for playing the game. don't worry too much about making mistakes, we all do that. remember it's for fun, so enjoy yourself!! and lastly, when you do kill someone(hopefully the enemy), hit f2 and taunt proudly "you'ved been killed by a nOOb!" that'll p*ss him off for the rest of the game! lol
