help tips for new players

scragcat

LOl sorry i meant to reply to the new player guy who was finding the game hard not make a new thread

 

a BattleRank 1 can kill a maxed out 5year+ vet easy in many situations.  Find your favorite form of combats and keep at it..indoor and outdoor.

 

Sift through the new player help posts on the official forums for some info..although reading and doing are not often the same. 

 

Grenades are pretty useful..jammers for outside (stops the tanks etc from firing for a good few seconds), plasma inside before engaging enemies if you cannot see them but know they are hiding (softens them up)

 

Combat Engineering is a good Exp farming tool..Mines can net  awsome exp at times and you can repair turrets and vehicles for support exp.

 

Filling up base Ntus with an Ant is also good exp and vital if the base is like at 20% or so (just remember to check for enemy mines at the Silo or driver very slowly if your not being attacked once inside the base walls)

 

Uni-max (bleh) is a exp farming cert for low levels although if you dont like maxes its not vital. (Tr maxes are a little harder to use well than some of the VS, NC ones also)

 

Medium assault is nice if your smart and outdoors..using trees, rocks for cover etc and trying to keep the cone of fire as tight as possible with short bursts from the gun can be deadly especially if the enemy doesnt see you(and watch gohans vid on weapons)

 

Using Mosquitos or Reavers is harder than it looks especially for a total new player..Anti-Air is very rampant and unless you get the jump on the AA you wont normally survive unless you afterburn out of there There are some real dangerous Dog-fighters out there also that can destroy you in air combat super fast. (sure hot-dropping on towers via a Skeet is pretty killer but for a new player you wont have a high sucess rate usually)

 

Remember friendly fire is in effect so charging up a set of stairs past your empire mates who are shooting usually nets you a quick death

 

Save in your equipment favorites a different set of armor to what you usually wear at the bottom or someplace you can find it easy in the favorites list like standard or whatever..changing outfits quickly when your armor is shot to peices is faster than manually repairing if your near terminals (plus its a quick reload of your ammo and med-packs) 

 

Find a good new player friendly outfit will be a huge asset..you will learn a ton of tricks and tips if they are experienced. (heck i played for just over 5 years and after joining my outfit 447th ranger elite a couple of years ago it majorly boosted my skill level) Plus playing in a regular team can be hugely fun

 

Find a cheap form of transport like the harrasser or ATVs unless you are becoming a pilot or tank driver..running from base to base kind of sucks when your new especially if some random enemy plane/tank spots you near the end of your 5 minute cross-country run

 

Also try and gun all the different tanks, bombers for people..TR have 3, 4 man gunner variants so the more the better (prowler, galaxy gunship gunning = huge exp if the driver, pilot is good.

 

Understanding the Map is very useful...know where your enemy is attacking or going to attack next can help alot, same goes for the bases you attack.

 

There is no single form of total domination..for every weapon, vehicle there will always be at least 1 form of counter, often though several.

 

There is alot to the game and a million more tips/tricks but like i started with..find a form of combat you enjoy and keep at it....i can kill 20 people before dying sometimes and then get totally owned for the next 30 minutes.  Just gotta be patient and learn from your mistakes..dying can teach more than killing alot of the time.

 

'Situational Awareness'  is my favorite term for planetside

 

lol sorry for the long post..i could probably add 5 pages to this

 edit: just looked at what i posted and ouch  my eyes bleed from the wall of text so added more spacing
