Movement in Urban Terrain
-
Avoid Silhouetting (even shadowing. in night lay in shadows)
-
Avoid Open Areas (easy prey in PvPs)
-
Visual Reconnaissance (look for possible danger - like BMP on crossroad on "sniper" in window)
-
Conceal Movement (its better not being seen - after you are seen - you are target)
-
Move Rapidly (from one cover to another (hard) cover - to limit exposure of enemy weapons)
-
Always assume danger (do not feel safe)
-
Failing recognize Danger Areas (Linear Danger Area - "LDA" - running over roads)
-
Weapon barrel visible behind corner (PvP like KOTH or else PvPs)
