I am aware of PF's reputation on OT (generally not good), but I am also aware that some people who are relatively new to it want tips for someone who doesn't stink like they do. I don't claim to be good or anything, but I do have some good tips that may help some newbies, or noobs (if you want to believe it's still 2008). The filter was a bit picky while writing this, so excuse any tags. The filter, funnily enough, censored random words like 'you' for me, but did not remove any instances of kill, grenade, kamikaze, knife, and the such. If I want to get a point across and I'm unable to, I will replace to words with cipher code. This is really easy to decode, since all you need to is look up 'letters to numbers' on Google, and sites that will do it for you will show up. Enjoy!
GAMEPLAY WISE: #1: Go quick! This one is simple. While you can go slow, it's easier to be spotted and taken down that way. Going quick may get you killed allot, but it also has it's rewards (like high kill counts). Doing this is as simple as it sounds, with a few bits tacked on. Holding shift down while moving will make you sprint, but while sprinting, you can also do additional moves and jump over objects quickly. Though the latter can help in a few situations, it's also important to take note of the former.
While sprinting, you can dash or dive. Hitting X will preform a dive, which makes you... well, dive. Note that you will go prone after doing this, but sprinting will get you back up. You can also jump and dive at the same time to cover gaps that normal dives would flop, though this is a little difficult to preform and does take some time to get used to. Dashing can be done by hitting C while sprinting. This will make you crouch afterwards, but it's much easier to get up from, and also much faster, than the dive. Note that it takes a few seconds of running in order to do a dash, so, while you can chain them together, you will need near perfect timing to get a chain going.
#2: Compensators, Grips, and Sights. While using a primary or secondary wep, it's a good idea to get a compensator for them to improve it's damage. Sights also help, and grips do also come in handy if available. Note that by doing this, any sort of hip fire is weakened, but aimed fire increases.
You can also put silencers on your weapons to be stealthy, although this weakens the weapon if the silencer isn't already built into it and cannot be changed (there are weps like this in later ranks like the MP5SD and Honey Badger).
#3: Knife! By hitting 3, you can equip a knife. These come in handy when dealing with close situations, though I advise you only really use it as a last resort (no ammo, close to baddie). Note that you can also quick knife by hitting 𝕗. 24 14 20 can run w/ a knife equipped, and can dash faster if you get the timing perfect to do a quick knife and dash immediately afterwards.
#4: Kamikaze and cooking grenades To throw a grenade, hit G... simple! However, if you hold G for some time and then release, you can cook the grenade. This essentially means that the time for the explosion to occur from when you threw the grenade has shortened. You can also go full on Kamikaze if you opponent is weak enough by cooking the grenade and not releasing it. You will also die, as this is a method of kamikaze... in case you didn't know what that means.
#5: Spotting! If you don't want to camp, there's an easy way of getting EXP that's easier, although slower, and won't infuriate as many players as camping does. While looking in the direction of an enemy, hit E and a red dot will appear above their heads. If the spotted player is taken down by a teammate, you will receive 25 EXP. If looking in the direction of more than 1 player, you can spot multiple players at once. This method comes in handy if a) your team is being overwhelmed, b) you see a near-dead player and a team looking at them, and c) if you're about to die, are weak, and have a high chance of being killed.
You'll know when you're spotted because there will be a yellow string of text explaining this to you above you ammo counter on the bottom right hand corner.
#6: If sniping, almost NEVER stay in one spot! That almost perfectly describes what I was about to say, but I do have some more to add on. Yes, if you're going to camp, it's better to pick a place with good cover so can alternate in and out of it... that said, it's still not a good idea to fully stay in that spot. If you're going to snipe, you will NEED to relocate (in other words, change your position) if in chaos when the coast is clear (no visible enemies to get you).
This is important because anybody you kill can, and most likely will, come after you.
#7: (Quickly) check your surroundings Since silencers and knifes are a thing in this game, it's not always easy to know if there's someone behind you. While moving around in a suspiciously empty spot, ALWAYS look around to see if someone may be coming for you.
#8: Frequently check your radar In your bottom left hand corner is a radar. This, of course, shows you where enemies using non-silenced weapons (and also no knifes) can be. It's really handy that you use this to know where baddies might be. Note that a red dot on the radar does not always indicate they are close to you, but can also indicate they are on higher elevation than you.
#9: Learn the maps This is one that will take a long time to get down, but if you're willing to do so, will greatly improve how good you are. While playing matches, explore the map, take note of all of camping spots, or spots that can be used for that, and brief hiding spots.
Since I'm kind, I'll give you some info on some maps here. Some maps have light sources in obscure spots (e.g. Highway Lot, near where the Hill is usually, or the hallway near an exit into another part of the building) that can be shot out. If you do this, you will remove all light sources in a spot and use it for a stealthy approach. On the other hand, however, this can also be used against you should you risk doing it.
#10: Aim above the heads! If you're going for a headshot from a distance, aim above the head, but not too high. Easy.
TECHNICAL ISSUES:
"There's been no loading screen, I see the map from a distance, and I can't play!" WAIT. The has yet to load, so you won't be able to play until it does.
"I can't move!" This is most likely due to a bug or your internet lagging. If this does happen to you, hit F5 to try to reset your character, or hit ESC and do it there. You can also cook a grenade until it explodes, which might kill you if you're not lagging. In a last resort, you can also re-join the game (quit, go back to the games page, hit play). Remember: you'll be kicked if you have too much lag.
And that's all!

There's no way in hell I could shorten this to a TL;DR summary and have it work, I tried!

Alright I guess I will take a moment to pause in phantom forces during a tough moment and read this all in my mind.

| I know this - if you read more than the threads title (even just a little!) you'd notice my awareness of it's forum reputation. That said, to bash someone for doing something for no reason other than fun is not only hypocritical, but generally not wise. Even as an avid play... Yes, I can admit the only real reason I find it fun is because it's just a watered down version of Battlefield, which in many ways is far superior. |

Ah, the classic argument used whenever someone whines about their skill in a Video Game. It's gracefully bizarre to me, because getting good involves actual knowledge and practice.
To all noobs out there, git gud And cheers! |

@Aquish Lol, I just don't see how anyone could say that seriously. For a Roblox game, it's pretty much revolutionary. |
