RE: Tour of Duty advice and PBEM wanted
I can't top the advice you have been given. One thing I would say though is that it's a game of hidden subtleties and it takes a while to appreciate. Learning to lie down and remain hidden until you can launch an ambush is really satisfying when it comes off. Seeing your opponent and knowing he can't see you. Preserving certain weapons and ammo for different situations and ranges is also important I think as weapons quickly deteriorate during battle and you need to use them when they are most effective. Deciding when to hold fire and when not is a perplexing little conundrums that make the game intriguing. These type of pleasures only really work in PBEM for me. I could never play a whole game against the computer. I don't have TOD yet, but I know the snipers work really well in some of the other titles, it can be a very effective weapon especially against leaders and keeping enemy squads pinned down.
