First time you played ps2. I got you out of that desert and into some fights. :-)

The TR on mattherson actually won an alert today and I helped win it. That was fun, and I killed a whole bunch of enemies too.

That's quite a shock. Mattherson tends to be all Vanu all day when it comes to actually winning stuff.

lol @ 3% NC on Amerish. I guess that's because they're all on Indar, where the alert... is... not happening.

We just won another alert.

I tried this game and really couldnt grasp it, it felt like a really badly made battlefield. Its just always a giant clusterfuck of vehicles. You're either blown up by them or shot from a random far away place. I had 10 minutes of fun in 4 hours of playtime because the place i was fighting in was a relatively close-quarters compound, then we were kicked out of it and it was back to the clusterfuck.

It's kinda bad for new players to get into

Tell me your ID / server right now.

Edit: If you joined the NC, you need to quit and make a Terran Republic character.

I think in the official guide on their site it even says your first few lives will be short and chaotic.

But yeah, don't give up just yet. Find some people to run with (like on here), and mix up what you fight with. Air skirmishes, ghost caps, whatever.

Find 48+ allies on the map. Take an empire spesific fighter. Fly there. Bail out if you want to, but stay with them.

You had 10 minutes of fun because you couldn't grasp the game. There are public squads if you need additional guidance.

It's really not easy to kill people at first, unless you know how to be super-gay with anti-personnel turrets. I also recommend doing engineer and manning the gun turrets. Repairing them gives you points and xp, and they can kill enemy units fairly well. You can also repair tanks and climb into them to man their guns to get kills, then jump out and repair when the tank gets low on health. If the driver kicks you out of the tank, just find some other tank to climb into, or repair someone's max suits.

Big armor battles can seem intimidating at first, but they become manageable once you get into it. Being an Engineer is something that I too recommend, as it's a good way to help out your team without being directly in the action and being instagibbed by tanks, since you generally have whatever you're repairing as a meatshield. I also really like the starting gun for the Engineer, at least the TR one.

Chances are, you will die quickly before you get used to it, even if you are experienced with FPS. Support roles are your best bet since you'll be effectively useless in frontline combat until you gain more experience.

I prefer fighter combat since it's more individual and faster-paced, but that's extremely hard for a newbie. I died the first fifty-thousand times with my Mosquito without even seeing the enemy, so stay away from fighters until you're more knowledgeable about the game. Using them as transport is OK, but you won't do well fighting with them. Tanks are pretty newbie friendly, but remember not to go out without support, since it's pretty easy for a tank to get focus-fired by enemy anti-armor if there isn't other stuff around to suppress it.

"Random" deaths are the #1 complaint by players who quit this game. Big fights are terrible, horrible, godawful if you can't get into a full squad (or more) with friends and knowledgeable players that have a gameplan.

Also, Indar is notorious for being a horrible vehicle shitfest.

Most important thing for new players to learn is probably that you won't be able to do shit on your own for a long time. You need to learn to "read" the battles, learn the base layouts and find some gear/class combination that really suits you well; and once you got that you can start soloing and destroying nerds left right and center. But until then you'll want to play rather passively or accept many sudden deaths.

[edit] There's a tab in the "social" panel of the UI, that lets you find open groups/platoons. Join them and tag along with them.

[edit2] And while the comment about not playing NC a few postings up was probably half-jokingly made, it's actually a good idea to play the other factions first since NC guns are harder to use for beginners.

I agree, find an open Squad and run with it. This is a good way to find an outfit too. And it gets you more xp (=more certs) most of the time.

Hopping into a well certed out tank as gunner if possible also helped me a lot. You learn the game frome "their" (I play mostly infantry) perspective. It also gets you clues how to not get tankfarmed all the time.
