As long as you're a team player, listen to what your Squad Leader says, you'll do fine. The best thing to do is first read the manual, it will help prepare you to the equipment better. Not only that just tell your SL that your new to the game, I'm sure most will understand and help out, and in that case will tell you to just use a Rifleman kit. When you think your ready or want to practice other kits, just try them out no harm in trying right? As for the english/mic issue, I'd use it to be honest, I think most people would be able to figure out what you're trying to say, plus it's better to use a mic then type when your in an engagement with Opfor.

Find a server.
Join a squad.
Tell your squad-leader that you're new.
If he says "Cool, I'll walk you through it", be grateful and do exactly what he says.
If he says "Read the fucking manual", "I don't want any noobs in my squad" or something like that, tell him gently to fuck off, and find yourself a new squad.
Use your microphone. It really helps you, and your English will only get better.

The forum is big and its good if you explore it a bit. this forum really has come accross every problem known so far and theres loads of solutions to problems, its a very useful resource for research on design, activision and treyarch and DICE have been using the PR forums for years now, they have gotten quite proficient at borrowing ideas. A good conversation starter is "wai no f4strop3s?", and "wh3re mai teh pol1tical debate forum go???", and"wai did wicca destroy our tournament?" and "wair in teh developm3nt are projekt realty 2???"

For tactics and further reading on all of the generations of vecihle chages check the tales from the front lines forum. its quite good. most of it is gold and its a good reference. I have used it a lot in the past. goes into things like vehicle armours and infantry urban tactics and what-not.

Try and experiment with different servers. there's a bunch of different languages and a handful of the regularly full servers are admined well. and unfortunately some arnt, thats just the way it goes. dont just find 3 and make them favourites. keep checking the odd ones to get a feel.

lastly, dont trust anyone. most players are quite selfish, but about half the playerbase WANT to be helpful. For instance, when crossing a road, make sure your in a safe spot and then cross when somebody else proves that its safe to cross. that kind of thing.

Hope my rambling helped

It's quite simple, actually. I don't know how much experience you've got with other FPS-games, but you should pretty much do the opposite. Don't do whatever you want to do, be patient, follow orders, take it easy. You're not in a hurry.

If you see an enemy, ask your squad-leader if you can take a shot (not just shoot as you would've done in other FPS-games). Don't be an ******* (if you've played/still play COD etc. don't bring your attitude from that into PR).

Set up a co-op game on a map like Ramiel Infantry layer so that it's you versus 48 bots (set them to a very low difficulty level). Survive for as long as possible trying out as many weapons as possible. You will get very good, very fast.

Yes, it works with 0.97

All I can suggest is that you start playing. Most new players are directed to go to the best servers first, but I would recommend starting on servers like "HOG 24/7 Muttrah" because that is where I (and many other players) learned how to play the game. It may get boring at times, but it is worth it when you can play of servers like TG. Another tip is play as much as you can, so that you can learn all of the ins and outs of the game, it will come in handy when you are told to gun in an APC and have no idea what to do.

Actually as Ive seen most of you here gave some great tips. Follow them up, and I can recommend playing offline maybe first in singleplayer ( starting coop singleplayer server ) or joining one of the online coop servers. Its a great thing for a start - exploring maps, get to know basics with kits, vehicles, deployable structures, spotting and request system and so on.

Cut the spam and help the fellow, instead, gents.

(And of course I do not simply blame saXoni, your initial attempt to help the OP is still appreciated.)
