Re: New Player Question
Also, learn to tell uniforms apart. It sounds obvious, but to many new players it isn't - you really want to be able to tell at a glance whether the guy you're looking at is a friendly or not, without having you look at him and check for a red or blue name. Two reasons: one, in that time, you could well be dead; and two, there is a now infamous bug in the game that sometimes puts the name in the wrong colour, making team-mates appear to be enemies.
If you can't tell friend from foe, one of two things will happen, depening on your mindset and the way you play. You'll either shoot straight away and pick up loads of teamkills, or else you'll try so hard to avoid this that you'll take too long checking every guy and will therefore die many, many times because the enemy will get the drop on you.
The simple way to tell is that the USMC wears a pale sandy-coloured uniform, whilst China and the MEC both wear a much darker colour. Since China and the MEC never fight each other, you only need to be able to distinguish Americans and "non-Americans".
