690:Don't get carried away with killing the other team. Someone has to do the objectives.

691:Be sure to adjust your mouse sensitivity properly. It'll throw off your aim if you don't configure it.

692:The safest place you can be in against an incompetent with a sniper rifle is in his sightlines.

693:Never trust any player that uses a Sniper Rifle. (Especially if the said rifle can One-Hit Kill with a torso shot.)

694:Also, never trust an auto-shotgun user.

695:If someone has more than 3 KDR, either he's hacking or your team is utter shit.

696:Use your grenades. It's hard to use properly, but it'll safely clean up an objective if they're bunched up together - to say nothing of bouncing it off a corner and blowing up your enemies without risking yourself.

697:If your team lost, it's partially your fault because you're a part of it.

698:If all else fails, banzai charge the objective and die a heroic death.

700. Hesitation is Defeat. Retreat if you must, but do not hold back; seize the opportunity to attack whenever possible.

707. Drifting is the slowest way to take a corner, unless it isn't.

708. Learn to identify racing lines! This applies to everything from Mario Kart to iRacing.

709. In general, how fast your vehicle can go around a corner is more important than how fast it goes on straights.

709a. Acceleration is usually preferred over top speed, unless you're racing on a NASCAR track, a drag strip, or an open expressway.

709b. Tires are the most important thing to upgrade unless your vehicle is hilariously underpowered. Better grip translates to better cornering and acceleration.

710. Win with the slowest time possible: it doesn't matter if you're one second or one lap ahead of the guy in second place. Going faster than necessary means higher chances of making mistakes that can cost the whole race.

Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.

718. Focus your fire! It's often better to take down one guy rather than moderately injuring five dudes, because then there will be less enemies who can counterattack.

Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.
