if u want to go unseen in the envirinment, you have to be like the envirinment.
I know it sounds corny, but it works.
e.g if u are creeping in shadows created by foliage and there in a breeze, move back and forth kinda swaying with the movement of the trees. in makes you blend in more

Thats an idea,but you are looking for movement so you can get the enemy before they get you(viv),the thing is if I see some movement I stop take a quick look in the general direction the movement came from,and if it is someone scope is up and finger on the trigger,if it isn't anything I scan then carry on doing what every I was doing. Thats only if I see the movement.

I dont know much about your feilds as i havnt had the chance to play yet, but that will change, i hope to test myself in your upcoming clan wars(thankyou ghillie), but in past experiences with this sort of thing i find that in assistance with your camouflage, your environment can become a powerful ally seeing as that is what you are aiming to blend with. and using cover such as trees and mounds, like others have mentioned, sheilds you from those unwelcome headshots. keep a minds eye of every aspect of your surroundings because when the time comes, its the tree or you that gets hit.

use of dead ground (low spots ) to gain ground and using there vegetation to your advantage is important but it is no use hiding behind the only tree in the middle of the field either cam and concealment helps with this also with your barrel pointing the same way yuor eys are so you can bring your weapon to bare faster every milisecond counts it can be the difference between life and death

i mainly play at the monthly night games up here so cam isnt a problem, concelment is basically standing in the middle of the bush hunkered up in a small bushie trees,

btw just a way of topic note: idd LOOOOVVVVEEEEE to come down there and play on your feild, hopefully ill be down there around the 24th of june

Hey Angel Fire, it'd be great to have you down here and playing. It's always good to get feedback from people who have played on other fields, so I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

What about acting like one of the wild life like a Wombat. Is that a good idea or a big no no?

Well you should try it and see VIV. Let us know how many leech's you get.


I move quickly but always try to end up in cover, unless it is going to benefit me more to go in the open and use my speed as surprise.

In my experience if you are playing a VIP game and you are the assassin, then it is advisable that you hide among some tall reeds or grass, then when the target appears ignore his guards and just concentrate on the VIP, it also works if one of your team mate has a sniper rifle, then he can pick off the guard as you kill the VIP.

try and take on the vip team asap so that you take there respawns from them then all they have left is to get there vip across the field which is made even harder witthout the reinforcments strike swiftly then hold fast until you either take out the resawns or find the vip and tactically withdraw closer to the the vip extraction point minimising the chances of the vip reaching it

Leeches are just mosquitoes without wings... they drink some blood, then fall off and go their own way. They're nothing to be concerned about.

Vengeance is right tho. It is often useful to have a single team member hiding on the direct approach to the flag, they can usually take a significant number of hits off the VIP. I have seen Ghillie do that numerous times, often winning the game.
