-This is to add to the Blood Gulch "Sniper Hill Tank" base camping tricks. Get a buddy, because it takes two to pull this off: I take a tank up to the top of sniper hill, behind the Red base. I put the tank just inbetween the two rocks, facing the back wall, and then rotate the main cannon around so as to prevent me from being sniped. My teammate can then hide fairly well behind either of the rocks. The teammate acts as a "scout" and sights long distance with the sniper rifle. I just look to see where the enemies are on my teammates' screen, and blast the crap out of the Blue Base. Nothing worse than being blown up by a tank that you can barely see.
-On games where players from different teams are both on the same TV, I cheat off their screen like a dirty screen-cheater. in fact, I've been known to cheat off of the reflection in their glasses, too.
-On sidewinder, you can use a ghost or other vehicle to teleport you through the bars in the middle section where the overshield and invisibility appear. Park the ghost on one side, and you can get into it from the other. Great for getting away quickly with the flag.
-On several levels, there are areas where you can duck and move a little bit farther beneath a slight overhang. Then you don't need to hold the duck button anymore, and it gives you a very slight advantage.
-On blood gulch, always be the blue team. you can duck in the water and it is hard to see you, especially when you duck behind the invisibility. Leave the Invis. there, and blast the snot out of anyone who comes to get it. Also, you can jump through the Red base's windows, making for a quick exit with the flag.
-If someone is trying to run me over with a Ghost, I stand just on the other side of a hill from them. As they come over the hill, I can duck and they'll go right over my head. Then I just move back to the other side of the hill and repeat. Shooting them while doing this will, eventually, kill them, plus, they rarely shoot you due to the angle with which they have to climb the hill every time.
-I'll wait for one of my lesser teammates to pull an "Enemy at the Gates" move - sticking their head out and getting sniped so that I can see where the enemy sniper is. If the teammate is lucky, the enemy sniper is no good and only pops the shields. If the teammate is unlucky, oh well, at least the enemy is dead and I still have my rifle...
-On Sidewinder, just stand behind the base teleporter exit for either base. Kill whoever comes out. I prefer the shotgun, but there are also rockets nearby.
-On Sidewinder, I'll hide in the enemy base on one of the ladders that leads to the sniper rifle. Then I just shotgun anyone who comes up. Switch ladders frquently to add confusion.
That's all that I can think of for now, but I'm sure that there's more.
