Newbie TIP: When you learn to predict where the enemy will be, you'll get a much better KDA

Some things that are not immediately apparent if you're new to BF (like me). I was getting a decent score just by running like a rabid weasel from point to point trying to cap them, but I kept getting killed until I learned a bit more "game sense."

• Point taken by enemy? Enemies will be streaming from the points towards your positions, have your gun up and ready if you're moving towards it.
• Point currently being taken by enemies? Enemies will be on the point, probably in corners, above the point, or just off the point. Sweep these areas before moving in.
• Enemy points behind frontline enemy point: Rarely anyone will spawn here, making them much easier to take than a frontline point. Focus gun towards enemies coming from the frontline point.
• Moving to take a point, running behind friendlies? Your allies will alert you to enemies in the area by taking fire first. Run with a knife.
• Moving to take a point, but no friendlies nearby or you're in front? You'll stick out like a sore thumb if you run in. Stop, check points and corners before you move. Move between cover, low and fast. Make sure you can always dodge back into cover if you're starting to be under fire.
