Some DOD basics
Note this isn't an article, just an informational post. If you feel I missed something important or said something wrong please feel free to tell me and I'll fix it.
Some of you were asking for an article, well this isn't one but it will be informative for anyone new to the game.
Control Points
Most maps have control points and to capture them it's as simple as standing there and not getting shot. Some points take less than a second so you can just pass by them to cap it and never stop running while other points may take up to 5 seconds or more. It's good to try and memorize which points take a long time to cap and which ones don't. The capture area is also really small on some points making you have to stand right on the flag making you easy to shoot.
Other points, usually the middle points, take up to two men to capture them and these usually take too long and leave you in the open. Just find the best cover you can or run around trying not to get hit BUT STAY ON THE POINT! First team to capture all the points wins. And pay attention to the tray at the top left, it shows you who has what flags. When we play on TTP we generally refer to points as first second third mid point etc. This is where you need to pay attention, If we say their second were referring to the enemy second not ours. It helps to look at the top left tray whenever you see a change so you know whats going on. The names of the points are too hard to really remember so refer to them as our first their first etc.
Bomb Sites
Thats not really the name of the game type but these are pretty different from normal points. You HAVE! to pick up a bomb at the designated areas for these maps so you can blow up the sites. Run up to the yellow outline of the bomb on the site when you reach it and press E to plant it. It takes a few seconds to plant and some agonizing amount of time to explode. Depending on the map the offense team has so much time to blow up all the sites while the defense team protects them. Some maps will have both teams trying to blow up the others equipment before the enemy blows theirs.
On offense/defense maps you get bonus time for blowing up a site. Some sites you'll have to use two bombs on some only one. The more bombs it takes the more extra time you get on the time limit. The other team just has to hold out long enough for the timer to die. Here you'll need to try and remember some names since we'll use names like the half track or the tank. You can tell which one is the tank by the icons in the top left but if you can't tell what some others are always feel free to ask anyone on the server. Under the site icons will be tiny dots that display that sites lives or something like that. It's just how many times it needs to be blown up since tanks just seem to stubborn and need two packs of highly explosive dynamite to be blown up completely since in-operational isn't enough.
Classes
This is a good explanation for all the classes for both sides and their balances.

If someone has a nice list of the maps (since I can't remember all the names) Could you please post it or send it to me so I can put it here? Also feel free to post anything that you think should be added and I'll add it. If you want to be good at the game go out and play, these are just the rules. You won't get good by reading my text all day now will you?
