Strategy
Depending on how aggressive you want to be, survival is your best bet. Pay attention to where the Power Up spawn points are to grab much needed health to keep you going and make good use of Hard Cover while reloading to avoid incoming fire. Attack can, and will, come from any direction so keep your eye on the radar and stay mobile. Defence is not a good idea since you'll eventually got worn down and won't be able to score any easy kills by picking off weaker opponents roaming the Map.



A classic deathmatch tactic is still worth mentioning here: Circle Strafing. Basically, do doughnuts around your target, keeping your turret unloading pain in their direction. It makes you harder to hit because you're constantly moving while directing all your firepower against your victim. Because the terrain and hard cover will get in your way, you'll have to be clever - switching direction or passing behind the hard cover (hopefully while reloading) to take advantage of it and not simply run into objects and get stuck, leaving yourself open to attack.
