Tips and tricks

  • Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
  • Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
  • Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
  • Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
  • Because this is a Strategy game, economy first, power later.
