Always remember it is a team game and all your efforts are for the team.

Regularly check the map on the command screen for the location of flag/flags and to learn the topography of the combat area.

Constantly run fast (with knife, handgun, or grenade in hand) in a zig zag pattern. This makes it harder for opponent snipers to hit you.

Focus on your objective -- do not reveal your position by unnecessary shooting.

Always be ready to backup and give fire support to any team member that is attempting to capture a flag.

Do not snatch indisposed teammates flags, unless it is a real danger for the flag being taken by opponent soldiers.

When running a flag, always take safe routes and avoid high ground and areas where soldiers from opposing force are likely to show up.

Although running flags are the main task, defending can sometimes be more crucial, especially if you are one of many flagrunners on the team. Defense actions are: defending a remaining flag or securing your home base.

Save lost flags you run across, but only when it is safe or if it makes it very hard for enemy to win game. Remember that saving a flag always reveals your position.
