Hey Lotus, glad to see you're planning on spending some quality time on our servers. Of course, by quality, I mean getting fragged by some of these clowns over and over
. It happens to me too, and I used to play non-stop in this Division...no biggy. My best piece of advice is to find a class you're comfortable playing. Being that the game is somewhat more realistic than most of the Steam games, I recommend starting with Rifleman since they're relatively versatile, and dangerous when with their squad mates. The next big thing is just to get a feel for the maps...it doesn't hurt to actually cycle through your team mates when you're downed, and just spectate where they go. This can give you valuable insight as to where the action's happening, as well as show you some nifty little hiding spots. Once you're comfortable on a map, and with a class, it all the comes down to thinking realistically. The survival rate for a player in this game is quite a bit lower than in most games, and causes players to proceed with a bit more caution than they would in most games. Use this line of thinking to your advantage. Think to yourself, "If I were the Marines/Insurgents moving to this point, what route and cover would I take?" 9 times out of 10, using this method and checking your corners as you move from cover to cover, you can get the jump on someone and take them out before they take you out.
At least, these tips are based on my personal experience. Like I said, I'm by no means the best on our servers...I get smoked quite a bit, but I
have noticed some significant improvement since I began practicing these fundamentals once again, so it can never hurt to try. Good luck to you out on the battlefield mate, perhaps we'll have a chance to cross paths some time
.
