Noob's Guide For GM

Yeah so this is my first guide for noobs, so give me some feedback on how to improve. If there has been a better one, don't qq all over this thread please.

BLACK LIST (GHOST TEAM)
So, there are a few things to keep in mind when playing the ghost:
1. When you get hit, get the hell outta there! I cannot stress this enough, even though it is common sense. I guarantee you that the guys on GR will turn on blood, and when they see some blood out, they WILL begin to shoot around the area.

2. Learn to bhop. There are some better bhop threads out there, but I can't find any atm (post the link if you find one). Bhop is a cheap trick that will let you get close the GRs, and get you out of some tight spots. Bhop in, try to get some kills, and bhop out.

3. If you have the C4, don't be a hero and get some multikills (unless you're a pro, which you probably wouldn't be reading, because this is a noob's guide). The best example are the vents in Lab. There have been countless times where just one noob with the C4 goes into the vents with a GR not looking. Sometimes, the GR WILL turn around (unless there's some distraction) and shoot you, thus having 1 hell of a good reason to camp and causing a round lost for BL.

4. Stay away from smokes. Think you can bhop after doing it once? Wrong. You are guaranteed to fail sometime. This really sucks when there's smoke and you failed your bhop.

5. Kill before they defuse! I have lost a few games as BL when someone is too slow to kill the guy defusing.

GLOBAL RISK (DUDES WITH GUNS)
1. Listen. This is common sense. I have gotten numerous kills listening to ghosts fall and let out that grunt (or in SPOP's case, groans/moans ;P), listening to their footsteps when they rush me and get excited, or when they camp and breathe.

2. Take advantage of the both maps. There are 2 maps in the game. 1 is the minimap and the other is the full map (accessed by holding the `/~ key ingame). When you see one of your team die, find out where they died. This will give you some sense at where the enemy is.

3. Go in groups. If you don't wanna die, just follow some guy. He probably won't say thank-you, but he will be thankful that he let you follow him when you save his @55 while he's reloading. And vice versa when you reload. Plus, traveling in groups is a way to kill faster.

4. Cover, I have seen many GRs lose when someone is defusing and some ghost grabs that free kill. I recommend throwing a smoke bomb on someone who is defusing.

5. Know when to back off. Let's say you're defusing. You just got there and the bar is not half-full/empty yet. You get knifed but you're still alive. Get out and find that ghost, he can't be too far. Now lets have that same situation, but you are almost done defusing. You get knifed and have 1 hp left. Keep going! If you win and someone kills you after, that will not count, so don't worry.

This is my first guide, so feel free to write in what I missed.

Thanks,
Ryan (find me ingame as EVL_jRagun! Ranked Staff Sgt.)
