ADVICE FROM A SEASONED CASUALTY

Below you'll find a few words of advice that may help to
give you a more surefooted approach to shooting your
friends and possibly help to increase your survivability in
the hostile enviroment of the Rainbow Six games. After
all, the whole point of RS is to get some healthy outdoor
exercise and to impress those softdrink-and-pizza-bellied
strategy games buffs whose only activity is to instruct
a bunch of tanks to move to a new, equally hopeless,
position in an already lost game.

Here is what you should do:

controlled agression is the name of the game: Find,
engage and destroy the enemy(the order in which you
do it doesn't matter as long as you destroy);

always move, always run, always use the cover you
can find to shield you from uninvited slugs;

should you inadvertently come under fire, run - fast;

kill with your first bullet; failing that; kill with your
second bullet; failing that....(But remember the enemy
will also know this);

if the enemy is shooting in your direction, and without
any provocation, she is using live ammo, return fire
while you sidestep.Sidestepping spells survival. In close
combat always sidestep while you are shooting(my worst
nightmare in RS is the expert sidestepper running this
website);

keep your sidearm to hand, you may need it before you
know it. In many cases the fastest draw gets the kill;

my calling card carries the motto "I can hear footsteps":
always wear sneakers, they are less noisy than wooden
clogs;

the shortest distance between two points may be a
straight line, but under fire the safest distance between
two points is an erratic line(for me that means gentle
alternate pressure on the left and right arrows while
I put all my weight into pressing the run-like-hell keys,
making me a distinctly swaying, unhittable target;

if you hear the gentle thud of a frag landing in your immediate
vicinity, run and pray at the same time.

Here is what you should not do:

don't get in the way of lucky shots;

camping is bad for your blood circulation and will in some
cases, such as Siberian Base I and II, give you frostbite;

sniping is bad for your eyesight;

if you are in the least doubt as to whether there is time to
get out a frag grenade( - now where did I put them - ), don't
bother, rely on your primary weapon;

caught out with a heartbeat sensor, don't expect it to shoot
as well.

Happy hunting
