*At the beginning of the level, it will be of no surprise that everyone will want to get a hold of the [[Shotgun]]s and [[Gravity Hammer]], but near the [[Shotgun]]s are [[Bubble Shield]]s, picking this up and used correctly can help you get at least one of the [[Shotgun]]s and possibly the [[Gravity Hammer]] without risking attack from [[Battle Rifle]]s or [[Needler]]s. | *At the beginning of the level, it will be of no surprise that everyone will want to get a hold of the [[Shotgun]]s and [[Gravity Hammer]], but near the [[Shotgun]]s are [[Bubble Shield]]s, picking this up and used correctly can help you get at least one of the [[Shotgun]]s and possibly the [[Gravity Hammer]] without risking attack from [[Battle Rifle]]s or [[Needler]]s. | ||
*A good form of defence for [[Assault]] and [[Capture the Flag]] is to stay up on the first floor of your base with a [[Shotgun]], this allows you to pounce any attackers on the ground floor, [[Plasma Grenade]]s are nearby for attacking vehicles, and you are normally at very little risk. | *A good form of defence for [[Assault]] and [[Capture the Flag]] is to stay up on the first floor of your base with a [[Shotgun]], this allows you to pounce any attackers on the ground floor, [[Plasma Grenade]]s are nearby for attacking vehicles, and you are normally at very little risk. | ||
*Use the gravity lift on an incoming warthog and it may sail to the death barrier. | |||
*Another good form of defence is to have a [[Shotgun]] and the [[Rocket Launcher]]; the [[Shotgun]] to deal with the on foot opponents and the Rockets to deal with vehicles before they can get in, provided you are on the first floor instead of the ground floor. | *Another good form of defence is to have a [[Shotgun]] and the [[Rocket Launcher]]; the [[Shotgun]] to deal with the on foot opponents and the Rockets to deal with vehicles before they can get in, provided you are on the first floor instead of the ground floor. | ||

*In Team Slayer, CTF, and Assault, the Ghost is one of the best ways to help your team dominate. Due to the Ghosts high speed, splattering opponents is easy. Since Rats Nest's main road doesn't consist of uneven terrain and sharp turns, controlling the Ghost, and fleeing opponents with heavy weapons are a blessing. Another thing to keep in mind, each of the teams spawn points are outside the bases, which means each team will usually spawn on the main road. So, with the Ghost, you can boost right through their spawn points, and wreak complete havoc. | *In Team Slayer, CTF, and Assault, the Ghost is one of the best ways to help your team dominate.

*If you have the bomb, move on the higher ground and go through the coridors. If a teammate omes to pick you up, get on, plant the bomb and hide. If any players come to disarm it, slaughter them. | |||
*In a game of Team Slayer if you gain the lead and have all members of your team pile in behind the fence using the aforementioned mongoose fence glitch, you are safe until the match is over. The only catch is that someone must guard the sealed door to assassinate any potential intruders. <!-- actually you can kill people who are hiding inside the fence. --> | *In a game of Team Slayer if you gain the lead and have all members of your team pile in behind the fence using the aforementioned mongoose fence glitch, you are safe until the match is over.

*Use both your Warthogs in the beginning, put them on each opening of the hall in the middle so that if any body walks through they'll be barraged with machine gun fire. | *Use both your Warthogs in the beginning, put them on each opening of the hall in the middle so that if any body walks through they'll be barraged with machine gun fire. | ||
