Don't drink to excess– You might shoot at tax-collectors... and miss

1) Driver drives. Try not to get too close to enemy players who might nade you or whip out a RL or FRG and ruin your Sunday drive.
Monitor health of gunner and passenger and your shields. If your shields are going down, retreat till they come back on line. If gunner health gets low, get him to health powerup. If passenger health is low, it's no loss, (see below). Also, when driving a RL hog, try to keep track of your gunners shots– 3 then l-o-n-g r-e-l-o-a-d. Don't drive into a situation that requires a blast from the RL if it's not loaded yet.
2) Gunner guns. Don't get in hog with low health. Dead gunners get drivers killed. If driver takes you to a health powerup, jump out and use it ASAP.
Unless you are taking fire from another direction, your job is to keep eyes front and clear the way for driver- ideally, every enemy should be dead by the time you get there.
RL gunner– make sure you are fully loaded going out– your driver may be counting your shots and timing his arrival accordingly. Blasting snipers off ledges is good, too.
CG hog gunner, just keep firing unless team mates are in the line of fire. If you arrive at an enemy base that is not deserted, stay in hog as long as its in motion. If there is/was no passenger to go for flag, it's your job to keep the enemy busy while other team mates go in for the flag. (Note to other team mates: If you have a hog harrassing the enemy base, that's a good time to snatch the flag.)
3) Passenger. You are totally useless till we get to the enemy base in a CTF game. Then you get out, slay your way into the base while hog stays in motion and gunner keeps gunning. Get in base, get flag get back in hog.
Don't stay in hog at enemy base and take shots at the enemy with your pistol as the hog circles. The longer you stay in the hog, the more enemy will be in the base, hiding from the gunner on the hog– and guarding the flag.
If driver stops at a FRG or RL on the way to the enemy base, jump out and pick it up. Don't throw nades from the hog. You don't know where drivers is going to go– half the time your nade almost blows up your own hog.
Remember- anyone you kill on the way to the enemy base will be respawning at your destination– and they'll be expecting you. If you wipe out the entire enemy team on your way to get the flag, you might feel like mighty slayers, but you probably will not make a clean getawy. Avoidance is best.
