26 Tips for old RTCW players and new ones ofcourse too.

Most of these tips can also be found in the user guide.
But by providing these tips you don’t have to read that guide.
These tips help you get up to speed :slight_smile:

  1. When the mortar impacts a little blue dot can be seen on the command map and compass sometimes you need to zoom out, sometimes it isn’t shown at all. Field ops can designate targets via airstrikes.

  2. Switching to binoculars can be done with zoom key ??? but no option in
    menu to set it.

  3. Covert ops can open locked doors when wearing enemy uniforms.

  4. Weird tip: The covert ops’s luger has a silencer which can be removed with alternate fire ?!

  5. Engineers can defuse the covert ops’s remote bomb. (satchel charge)

  6. Covert ops loose their disguise when they are targetted by enemy soldiers. Targetting takes a few seconds… so move out of view to prevent loose of disguise.

  7. Covert ops can detect enemy mines by scanning the ground with their binoculars. When they find mines it is broadcast to all other soldiers
    The mines can then be destroyed with other explosives like granades.

  8. Covert ops can spot enemy positions these positions will be shown on the command map for all other team members to see.

  9. knife is silent as well for covert ops.

  10. The covert ops’s luger carries a silencer as well.

  11. keys [ ] can be used to scroll wapens ?

  12. crouching makes fire more accurate, laying on the ground (prone) will make it even more accurate… sometimes you can’t shoot while crawling.

  13. mg’s can be destroyed with any explosive.

  14. command post increases recharge rate… it can be destroy via the remote bomb as well.

  15. only dynamite can destroy the main bridge.

  16. only the tank can destroy the tunnel gate.

  17. covert ops can try to snipe engineers who try to build the foot bridge.
    lot’s of cover so the manual says.

  18. tank can be ambushed in tunnel.

  19. The allies can only reach the depot via the 3 tunnel exits.
    One pantzer soldier can easily see all 3 exits from the mg.
    Controlling all 3 tunnel exits is a great way to stop the allies.
    Near the mg is also the command post where ammo can be found to reload pantzer and mg’s etc.

  20. covert ops+enemy uniform+engineer can enter fuel depot early then go via building and jump on fuel depot to blow it up.

  21. hold control key to see which players is best with a certain wapen.
    ( holding alt shows other statistics )

  22. This tip is not in the manual but I saw somebody do it:
    Stand near the door of the fuel depot… wait until an axis soldiers runs out of the door then quickly run passed the door before it closes. then plant dynamite :slight_smile:

  23. footbridge can be destroyed with remote bomb as well… which is very fast… kinda lame :slight_smile: but fair compared to the door tactic :slight_smile:

  24. cant destroy own buildings dont waste time on it trying :slight_smile:

  25. ambus allies in tunnel near their spawn point/door with for example mg.

  26. cant fix a moving tank :slight_smile:

Personal favorite: I like the mobile mg the best :slight_smile: crawling slowly with the mg mounted is best for mg… so you are ready to fire whenever somebody pops out… make sure to have a good position so you can shoot left and right far enough so they cant circle around you… mg has limited range left <-> right

I also played once as a covert ops (while wing commander was watching as spectator ? :slight_smile: who’s that ? :slight_smile: )

I went into the fuel depot early and shot many many many axis in the head from the back. That’s just too easy and boring after a while :slight_smile:

There you have it folks !

One thing Ive noticed and it might be a tip is that field ops and medics seem to have a harder time doing there job, aka reviving and handing out ammo. Both classes need to use their maps more to find fallen commrades.
