Well there's a good set of key settings, feel free to edit it any way you would like...
BINDINGSHere area a couple of misc. bindings for your playing pleasure.
bind x "say (type in what you want to bind this key to say)"
color # (were the # x is you put 1-14 for the top and x for the bottom). This is used in the console.
- color 1 = brown
- color 2 = light blue
- color 3 = yellowish-green
- color 4 = red
- color 5 = greenish-yellow

Some misc. key commands.
- fov ## = Zoom in/out (the lower the number the more you zoom in, the higher the number the wider you view is). THIS IS GREAT FOR SNIPING!!!

- Messagemode 2 = Wisper mode
- +mlook = Toggles on mouse look permanetly (until -mlook is used)
- "cl_yawspeed #### = If making a script to turn in a blaze use this to edit the speed... Example script would be ("cl_yawspeed 3000; +left; wait; wait; wait; -left; cl_yawspeed 3000") or something like that.

SUGGESTIONS
Here is the best tip of all time: Don't die! But if that ain't enough here's some more tips.
Here we go:
- NUMBER ONE STAY ALIVE AT ALL COSTS!!! There is no reason to die over and over again for the hell of it. Go get an RL and some armor and kill that bastard, and if he's campin at the RL go shove a pinapple up his ASS!
- Listen to the sounds, if you are playing 1 on 1, this is important. Pay attention to where the other guy is and to what sounds he's making, and try not to get fooled if he is trying to fake you out. (Something I comonly do is open a door, or shoot a rocket, hightail it the other way and BOO! you got'em.
- Dont go into a battle ill prepared, if there is someone with a rl campin don't run up to him with a boomstick (unless you know he has almost no health) and die.
- If you are playing No Friendly Fire, my suggestion is shoot like a mad man, and go in the water and discharge if someones down there.
- Use a mouse!
- Keep your sidestepping in a battle original... Don't do the same left, right, left over and over again, people will catch on.
- Health , if there is a health laying around and you have 99 hps, pick it up.
- Armor, always, always go the extra step to get the armor. If it is 200 armor, always try to get there before your oppenent because with 100 health and 200 armor a guy can take 2 head on rocket hits, and several splash damage hits.
- Rocket Jump, do it!
- Lastly, practice your aim, and be ready for those side steppin 1 on 1 battles...
- GOOD LUCK!!!
