Hints

Is there any hints that could help me kill those tanks? I can only get to level four it gets frustating because there are so many tanks on only one of me. The team plays are a little better but I get killed there too. I'm a little new at this I can't get the cheats to work on z server but now that I am a member they may work I hope, after I leave this form I will try again, hope you guys can help me. Thanks , oldbaldyjp

I only got to 74, 450 in solo, but use the heavy. That will give you more life. And remember a smoking tank can still shoot, so finish off the tank you start. If there is one shot left on it, and you start someone else, it could kill you when you could have killed it w/ one shot. capishe?

My hiscore is 978,750... Sorry for bragging, I do want to hit one million though.
Anyway, just SHOOT. Dont use tricks and cheats. Thats the cheap way.

I will offer you the following advice.
Learn how to shoot straight and accurately. This will help you kill quickly before you take too much damage. This takes practice.
Use terrain features and rocks and trees to block the advancing tanks line of sight. Wait for them in a low area or behind a hill then pick them off one or two at a time as the cross over.
Use the sides of the map to hang on to the cliff and watch the bots drive off trying to get to you. Shoot them as they plummet to get credit when the fog kills them.

Otis. Solo mode is intentionally difficult.. the programmers have said so themselves.I will offer you the following advice.

Thanks for the help. The game takes getting used too. I hang close to the edge and try to get them I also use the cover but I have not got that down pat yet. I wish they had more health icons that would give us more of a chance. Once I get used to the map I hope to improve. Thanks again.
