Capture The Flag: Defending your base

Use the following trick to easily defend your base on Island Outpost. Make a barricade with one tank and a jeep on the left-hand exit of your base with the flag (the one with the machine gun turret on both sides and a flak gun on the right). Put the tank on one side parked perpendicular to the roadway. Then, put the jeep behind it also perpendicular to the road. Throw a grenade at the jeep and two at the tank. They will both be almost destroyed so if an opponent jumps in you can easily destroy him. As enemies try to drive through the barricade they will get stuck and must either reverse to try another way in or jump out of their vehicle once it hits the barricade. This just adds to its effect. Use the Bluetooth headset to tell your team what you are doing so that no one takes a vehicle. Make sure to stay and help kill anyone who tries to get your flag.

Capture The Flag: Easy points

In any Capture The Flag match, get four land mines from one of your bases. Fly quickly as possible to your enemy's base with their flag. Tap R2(2) to use turbo. Land just about where their flag is located. Do not try to capture it. Throw all your mines anywhere you can, preferably near where health icons are found, vehicle repair, driver's seat of jeep, any weapons, and on the ceiling of any covering commonly walked under. Then, get out quickly. Try to get in and out in about thirty seconds or less. This is possible with practice. Then, get back in your plane and fly back to where you got your landmines. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Dodging missiles

To dodge missiles faster, roll and flip in the air. This will work about 70% of the time.

When avoiding missiles and rockets while in a plane, dive down, bank right, go up, then bank left. This will shake off almost all your missiles if there are more than two of them, and all of them if there are less than two.

Use the following trick to dodge a homing missile (fired by missile turrets and Warhawks). Activate the afterburner then bring down the Right Analog-stick to send your plane into a loop and then press Right Analog-stick Right or Left to get it spinning. Tilt your controller or Left Analog-stick sideways and hold R2 + L2 to power slide. This will work about 85% of the time if you are skilled.

Easy points in TDM

To get easy points, go to a base that your team does not control. Stand next to the flag. You will see a bar appear at the bottom of the screen. If the other team owns this base, the bar will slip to the center (neutralize) and you will get 2 points. It will then slip to the other side filling with your teams color (gaining), thus giving you 2 more points. This process is easy and can get you 4 points in under twenty seconds.

Easy ranks

Create a player-ranked game and set the flag return time to "0". Have a friend on the other team. Play until there are at least eight people. Ban everyone except for your friend on the other team. Go to the place where the other team's flag spawns Steal it, but stay exactly where it spawns. Have your friend stand close to you. Aim at him and rapidly tap Triangle. If done correctly, the flag will flash back and forth between you and your friend and you will each get two points each time Triangle is pressed.

To get a higher rank easily, go to "Local Games", then to your call sign. Enter any desired rank. Note: This only works once -- entering the highest possible rank is recommended.

Extra missiles

When you get the single shot homing missiles in an airplane, you should only be able to get a total of three. However if you pause game play, wait about fifteen seconds, then resume the game, you should be able to pick up three more. This will only work up to nine missiles.

Jeeps on plane

This trick only works with the Nemesis and is very difficult too execute. Have your pilot hover slightly below the edge of a cliff. Then, have the jeep(s) drive onto each wing. You can get two jeeps on at a time. Like the troop riders, jeeps will make your plane sink. quickly. Press R2 to go up and keep from sinking. Jeeps can also be dropped from a very high altitude with little or no damage. It is very effective to have two jeeps with people in the turrets. Also, a person with a rocket launcher can crouch on top of the jeep.

Tanks on plane

This is nearly impossible to do. Try mastering jeeps before attempting this trick. This works with either Warkhark or Nemesis. Just like the jeep, only your pilot must keep R2 held as soon as it is on. Otherwise the tank will fall off and its massive weight will pull down the plane with it. You must constantly press and release R2 to keep a steady altitude. Like jeeps, tanks can also be dropped from a very high altitude. This is useful for stealth bombardment or to drop an empty tank from very high altitude. When it lands it will explode. crushing anyone it lands on and blowing up anyone in the immediate area.

Troop riders on plane

Have one of your teammates get in the driver's seat. Have them hold L2 so that plane gets very low to the ground. Have yourself and whoever else around pile onto the plane. You can stand just about anywhere on either plane, but try to stay away from the sides. Crouch to keep from falling off. Make sure to have at least one rider with a rocket launcher. The pilot should never leave Hover mode and not make any sudden movements . Planes may be able to exit troop boundaries, but the riders cannot -- stay in the boundaries. The plane will sink a little with people on it. Just go up if you get too low. You can then carry your troops to the enemy base. This is also useful in Capture The Flag because you are not allowed to fly with the flag.

Updating stats

Due to a server error (partly because of global servers), your stats usually will not update immediately. To see your stats, log off for four or five hours then log back on. Your stats should be updated.

Zones: Easy points

Do basically the same thing as in the "Capture The Flag: Easy points" hint, and put a land mine on the base of the flag/marker thing that shows whose base it is. Then, move on and do this to every base you find. You will not only get points every time you capture a base, but also for every time someone tries to take one from your team. They will get blown up, giving you more points. Then go back after awhile and repeat.
