I thought I'd help out newbies to the game with some hints and tips on how to play. Please post your ideas below.

- If the walker starts stuttering or gliding while you are driving it, swap seats real quick (F2 then F1). Or jump out and back in (dangerous move).

- If you are quick with the C4, you can throw it and blow it. I am not good at this, but the idea is to throw the C4 then jump. While in the air you can't shoot, but you can switch weapons. So by the time you land you can blow the pack.

- You can repair the jeep and the helicopter while in these vehicles. The jeep from the back seat and the helicopter from the side seats (F4 I think).

- Jeeps don't warn you of motion mines so don't expect to hear the tone before the explosion.

- You can't blow up a walker if you land on it within a pod. So don't try. But you can land on it and drop C4 or motion mines and then jump off for the kill.

As far as gaining rank goes, nothing is better than a dog tag collecting server. All you need is 5 dog tags during the game and you gain a metal that's worth a lot. Keep doing it until you have some decent weapons in your kits.
