· Look for goggle and sunglasses shine and shape, look for straight lines and order not in nature, movement is the biggest giveaway, stay still and you can hide in plain sight with minimal camouflage. Use the shadows, stay out of sunlight which can highlight your movement.

· Do not get tunnel vision, keep scanning look for the above, try to keep a sector to your back that is unlikely to have enemy approaching

· Always make sure you check that sector, or someone sneaky will get through

· Always move from cover to cover, never move without a plan, always plan your movement

· Look for enemy is areas likely to provide cover, factor that in the plan. Can you move faster than others, are you smaller and hard to see, are you a good shot, use your stong points to your advantage and make sure you gauge the enemies capabilities as well

· Understand what different types of cover actually provide, will it block your whole body and gear from incoming rounds, is it just tall grass that can be shot through with heavy rounds, can you be seen from elevation, is it better to move fast(hopefully they cannot adjust fire) or slow (avoid detection), how accurate has been the incoming fire gauge your enemy skill level

· Learn the effective range or your weapon (learn to shoot it instinctively)and your enemies, stay outside that distance until you are ready to close the gap once you have manoeuvred into a favorable attack position

· Dare, go where they do not want to go, get wet when they want to stay dry, be cold when they are warm, use more energy to climb when they want to go downhill, do the unexpected, be unconventional and flexible, adapt on the fly, without the aptitude and willingness to hone these types of skills, your success will be minimal.

· Team work is good, it is always advantageous to have other cannon fodder around for a distraction, but lone wolf can be successful as well if you know what you are doing


Finally, practice and experience, always analyze what went wrong and how you can improve for next time, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

And another tip, is don't shoot your own player in the back. :wink:
