LONG BUT HELPFUL!

There are 6 classes and I have seen people that cant control, cant use, and cant aim with certain guns so here is a post to help you use there main guns.

1: RIFLEMEN
Rifleman is class that can stay back and scope people but also can be used to rush people. When using the rifle in close range as a American soldier aim and just keep shooting about 2 chest shots should kill. As a German soldier up close aim for the head because usally you will not get a chance for a second shot. So I would take 1 shot then take out your pistol and own them. When far away and scoping them its pretty simple with American gun aim for head and keep firing until they`re dead but with the German gun shoot once at head, hide, then shoot again when your gun is loaded.

2: Assault
Assault is a great character to rush with. I have seen people run at someone shooting like crazy; unless you are rushing a flag I do not recommend this. What you should do is crouch and shoot this is far more accurate and will kill your enemy much faster. Also with a smoke nade a good tactic is to smoke the person, run up to them, and kill them.

3: Support
Support has a very powerful gun but since it has a very high recoil and not very accurate I recommend going in prone or crouching and then firing I dont like rushing with it because it is likely you will not hit them enough to kill them. Also remember you have 2 nades so use them!

4: Sniper
When a sniper it is important to remember your job is to kill that M.G. nobody else can get so try to hide in the shadows. When shooting you do not need a headshot a chest shot will also instant kill. Find a window go in the corner and wait you MUST be patient. As a sniper its kill with your first shot or be killed!

5: M.G.
The M.G. is a class that is meant to cover a area. As a M.G. 2 or 3 shots will kill and you have tons of ammo, so while set up try to spray windows and doors even if you can`t see someone there; this will scare off snipers and other opponents. Remember you can not rush as a M.G. so dont try it. Don`t forget to use your gun to force enemies to take cover by shooting into their positions. Also keep in mind you turn room is limited so make sure when you set up you can aim everywhere you need to.

6: Rocketman
As a rocket shooter you 1 hit kill anything with a direct rocket hit. When shotting its better to aim at there feet so you will hit them. From far away aim a bit over the person because the rocket will lose height during flight. Keep in mind your ammo is limited and it will go fast so make sure your friends give you tons of ammo. Also when in shooting mode you move slowly and can not pick up nades or switch weapons so make sure you have cover from your teammates.

Please do not put other tips for these are just the basics.

I hope this helps you all I will also soon be posting one on how to defeat these classes.
 
this should probly be put in the DOD area? or maybe edit your title so it says "Tips for DOD newbies" ?
 
Or better yet in the tip/guides forum


But anyway nice guide, I played DoD:S during the trial period, and it probably would've helped to have something like this.
 
good work :)

but about the assault class, try running in a pattern almost like a zig zag but varying your time going in each direction, make yourself unpredictable. do this all while firing, most of the time you can evade their bullets long enough to kill them. and once you get good enough, i've seen people do it on mgs/prone soldiersj

as for mg. you can try to rush. if you turn your sensitivity up, and use the german mg, just crouch, and while shooting, slide your mouse down. it'll keep the mg in the same spot. only really good for short range though. as for your other tip, if your looking for more kills, try not shooting randomly, but only when you actually see an enemy. this will let them wander in, and gives you chances to shoot them.

:) good luck everyone, and remember to have fun :)
 
with assualt me and my friends did a test when in medium range with 1 crouching 1 running around and firing crouching won 9 running won 1.
Also wiith mg if you are guarding a flag u wouldnt help your team out just sitting there waiting for some1, shoot the sniper spots and doorways because even if some1 isnt there he might see you firing and like i know many people have dont go there. Last thing close range with mg is horrible REALLY REALLY REALLY close u would win but likely before u would get that close u would be killed.
