New player DIY

Hey complainers! (Just kidding) This game is challenging I know, but once everything starts to click you'll have lots of fun!

First thing, if your having issues with the tactics and overall strategy of the game and you don't want to research CQB strats, then check out Control Pairs and/or Karmakut gameplay videos on Youtube. They talk about what their doing and how it works while implementing CQB tactics playing the game.
Fumbling through the game for minimal stars is one thing, but I personally found it unsatisfying cheesing the gameplay for more XP and stars just to progress. It turns into a grind and grinds SUCK.
Once you understand basic CQB logic your game will improve dramatically.

- Kit your troops for speed and efficiency for hostages and HVT's. Slap charges are louder and take more time to set up then a breach hammer.
- Cover paths and doors.
- DON'T walk your guys in front of each other when they are covering paths and doors.
- DOMINATE every room you enter. If you leave a room and need to re-enter later, DOMINATE it again like before. Enemies are dynamic and show up at random.
- ALWAYS cover your breach man and troops using equipment. They can't defend themselves when using grenades, setting a breach, etc.
- 2 troops covering a wide gateway is better then one. 2x eyes on targets 2x guns 2x the bullets fired.

TONS more to cover and that's why trial and error is key. DON'T do the same thing over and over again when it fails. Try different weapons and equipment, troop type, positioning, etc.

Anymore to add???
