Ok - so I've got the game and some time next week to start playing - where's a good place to start without stepping on too many toes?
 
Play a round or two single player to get a feel for the game and some of the maps. After that, all toes are free game. :)
 
1. Practice flying offline (single player). The guys get really irratated when you start crashing "their" planes.
2. Play all the classes till you find one you like.
3. Forgive team killers. Punish repeat players or players that tk for vehicles (remember to take screenshots of guys doing this and mail them to the game admins).
4. Have fun. :)
 
Thanks for the advice.

@Toxin - are classes the same as the specialties you get in games like black hawk down - ie Gunner, Sniper, QCB, etc?
 
Bugger that ... join SGS server 2 or 5 [Urban I or Urban II] and get blown to little teensy weensy bits so oftern that you decide to go and practise a bit in singleplayer mode.

Then join SGS server 1 and live a bit longer, and get into driving the armour around.

Seriously ... if you can survive easily in SinglePlayer mode on the middle level, then you should come play online, cos getting any better in singlepayer will not make you better online, online is waaaay different from singleplayer in terms of gameplay. Humans are vastly different from EA's robots. :p

C U Soon !

[Edit:Okay ... didn't see your reply ... slowest poste rin the world I R :p]

my advise for you is connect to the
192.4.79.31
192.4.79.28

because yolu dont get planes killing you everytime you spawn, which makes it hard to play if your a newbie

the urban server is where you will learn everything

its hectic fighting
dont learn anything but flying in single player

because multiplayer is alot harder to kill then in single player
same as stoke damn must read all of the posts :)

single player the bots die so easily in multiplayer is takes alot more to kill someone
 
my top 10 tips:

1) single shot/burst fire if you can, more accurate.
2) try to spot enemies if you can.
3) Be patient! takes a hundred hours to get really aquainted.
4) some guns reload slowly, rip out a handgun if you can in the heat of battle.
5) PG UP! always forgive a teamkill (unless it's blatant, in which case u prntscrn)
6)Learn all classes, and master in 2 of them. It takes a while to master, so chose your favourite, and a secondary one if your squads need it.
7) Unless you sniping, join squads, you learn alot, and often score more, as well as have an extra spawn point.
8) If you medic, dont heal people who are destined to die the second they revived.
9) Learn on urban first, then go to the other servers.
10) Unless you got a really whiny voice, most experienced players will accept you in a squad and help out :)

enjoy!

err that is like the 10 worse tips ever

"1) single shot/burst fire if you can, more accurate."
- Use Auto fire for the first 3 bullets, if the enemy is not dead by then, you're a noob and can switch to noob-mode shot/burst

"2) try to spot enemies if you can."
- Thats the point of the game :P, same with Vietnam Engine, grass dissapears at far viewing distances, so the enemy is always visible, unless behind a house or rock.

"3) Be patient! takes a hundred hours to get really aquainted."
- You can be aquainted to all classes in less than 10 hours. Start with medic first, for your first 8 hours. Revive alot of people = lots of points = Early gun unlocks = for more ownage later on.

"4) some guns reload slowly, rip out a handgun if you can in the heat of battle."
- As per point 1*. If you are good enough you will never be in a situation where you have to switch to secondary gun to help out. With AT-soldier, always run with pistol, since the AT has a Desert Eagle for a pistol, 1 shot >

"5) PG UP! always forgive a teamkill (unless it's blatant, in which case u prntscrn)"
- Always PTK unless he is in your squad.

"6)Learn all classes, and master in 2 of them. It takes a while to master, so chose your favourite, and a secondary one if your squads need it."
- Learn Medic, since it features everything of all classes except C4.

"7) Unless you sniping, join squads, you learn alot, and often score more, as well as have an extra spawn point."
-Totally the opposite, when you're a sniper, its the perfect time to join a squad. Pin pointing enemies to your squad leader and flag capturing.

"8) If you medic, dont heal people who are destined to die the second they revived."
- Never heal a guy that just died on the corner of a building. Chances are that the tank/soldier is still aiming at the corner because people normally play in groups, thus waiting for the next fool to run arround.

"9) Learn on urban first, then go to the other servers."
- Learn the open maps first, Urban requires skill

"10) Unless you got a really whiny voice, most experienced players will accept you in a squad and help out :)"
- You have to be in their clan 99% of the times, or associated with them.

::If you killing 4 people, you might just run out of ammo... who says it's when you just kill one person. ha

- You can be aquainted to all classes in less than 10 hours. Start with medic first, for your first 8 hours. Revive alot of people = lots of points = Early gun unlocks = for more ownage later on.
::Oh yes, because BF2 is all about points... LOL, I rarely play medic, only if the squad needs it. Easy points though, if you into that.

- As per point 1*. If you are good enough you will never be in a situation where you have to switch to secondary gun to help out. With AT-soldier, always run with pistol, since the AT has a Desert Eagle for a pistol, 1 shot >
:: The AT auto shotgun only has 12 shells, so it's very easy to rip out pistol. And the Auto shotgun rules, i got a great K/D with this gun.. the basic AT gun sucks, i agree. Always run with a pistol? hahahaaaaaaa.

- Always PTK unless he is in your squad.
:: If it makes you feel special to PTK...

- Learn Medic, since it features everything of all classes except C4.
:: play what you enjoy. It's a game. If you like medic, go for it. but damn, Medic IS NOT like all the others. I never saw one repair a tank, or launch at a tank, or snipe one shot to the head from the other side, or give ammo etc....

- Learn the open maps first, Urban requires skill
not really, it can get annoying learning on big maps. lotsa driving, lots of plane/choppers killing you. Urban is also more fun. And no better way to learn than the hard way.

- You have to be in their clan 99% of the times, or associated with them.
::LOL, that's a joke. I almost never experienced this. People must not like you, or you a clan member that kicks "noobs" out.

My god, then yours must be the absolute worst I've ever frikkin' heard!

Hmm..so any mode that you don't use is 'noob' mode?
What, do you think you're ultra cool or something?

Umm.. what? Wtf are you smoking? Ever heard of 'fog of war'? Either that, or your using a hack. There's no frikkin' ways that 'the enemy is always visible'.

Err no. All classes have the same pistol, it just depends on if it's silenced or not. The different nations have different pistols, however they're all EXACTLY the same in terms of performance. The only difference is reload times: http://wiki.bf2s.com/weapons/comparison

Please do everyone a favour and don't play. If that's your attitude then you deserve a kick in the head.

You know... you must be right.
I've seen medics chucking medpacks at a tank, and then the tank EXPLODED! Err hang on. I think it was the rockets fired by the AT that did that.
I'm sure the medpacks supply ammo as well. Yup, I'm pretty much convinced of that one.
Oh yeah, and the medpacks also have a nifty repair ability. Yep, they do!
Oh, and you know what? This one time, on Sharqui, I saw a medic drop a medpack, and when a tank drove over it it went boom. Just boom.
Oh wait, I think it was the engineer's mine that was right next to the medpack that did that. Never mind.

  • Medic can sprint. Yup. All classes can do that.
  • Medic has pistol. Yup. All classes have that.
  • Medic has knife. Yup. All classes have that too.
  • Medic has grenades. Oh oh... not all classes have that.
  • Medic has med pack. Oh, no. Only medic has that.
  • Medic has shock paddles. No, can't say anyone else has that either.
  • Medic has no rocket launcher. Wait wait -- AT has that!
  • Medic has no C4. Don't Spec Ops have that?
  • Medic hasn't got ammo packs either.
  • Medic seems to be missing the Spanner of Death(c) Drusky
  • Medic lost his claymores
  • Medic misplaced his mines. Drat. Some w@nker will PTK him now, for sure!

You know what? I'm guessing that medic does not have all the features of the other classes!

You're obviously one of those players who is so full of himself that you think you're too good to help out noobs, and therefore think that everybody is like you. Not true.
 
Maybe he's sarcastic?
LOL, thisgeek, you just took all my counter points, and added detail :p
 
Jeeva is doing what is called Troll-ing. AKA, trying to get people to start fighting in a forum. Ignore him.
 
which is fine, but do we really want to chase new players away? we need cannon fodder ! :)
 
NEVER EVER PUNISH WHEN TEAM KILLED!
Even if the guys knifes you...9/10 times he's noob and just switched teams and reckons he's till shooting yankees.He will learn quickley,and inside he will feel really ***.Trust me,I've done it.
 
Oh ya,and if you do get punished for a TK that wasn't on purpose but in the heat of battle (latting nades in a area and the tard running into ur nade),join the d!ckheads squad and K@K him out.
I did it the other day to "Sky_news_reporter"...he didn't say anything back because I think he was p!ssing himself.
I told him nobody likes PTK'ers,and esp. when it was his own fault.
