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.
