Now when I am scanning the field for 'human' targets, don't act like a 'human' blend in with the 'bot' crowd. When you run hunched over in a crouch you are the 'human' not like the upright running 'bots' around you, and you attract my attention.
Fire from places other than the standard "If I were to shoot me here, where would I be" spots, be unpredictable.
Don't kill a lot of 'bots' in a single area. I listen and watch to where the shots come from and where 'bots' drop, backtrack and "there you are". Spread out where you drop bots, harder to centralize your location.
Kill a 'bot' on the mid left, then one closer and all over, it is tempting to go after the 'bot' pile, but then we know where you are.
I drop bots all over, and then occasionally I drop a group far off, and the human will wander that direction tryin to locate me, I will see him huntched over running the trenches, and guesstimate that he will pop up 'here' to get a look and wait.
Also smoke, throw smoke at a point and instead of rushing through it, back off to a flank and wait for the human player to show up just waiting for you to appear out of the smoke.
Oh and on smoke, smoke is designed to obscure the flanks of your advance, as you make an advance down the CLEAR center lane, so you can see your targets and those on the flanks can not see into the lane you are using. Smoke works both ways, you also blind all of your 'support' firers not just the defenders, actually the way most of you use smoke now just tells me where your advance line is, so a MG firing about waist high through the smoke usually gets the smoke thrower and those following him.
Smoke the flanks of your advance, use MG's to suppress, and attack down the CLEAR corridoor, will work a lot better than running blind into a hailstorm of bullets.
