I'd recommend sticking to 32 player servers for now. 62man servers get crazy as it's grenades, vehicles and snipers EVERYWHERE.

-edit-

Here's some beginner's tips for you as well.

-pressing F2 in a vehicle lets you switch to the second seat. This ranges from F1 (driver/gunner) all the way to F5
-when playing assault, you don't need to look at your teammate to revive them
-laser sights are visible through smoke
-when in the RHIB, pressing F5 puts on the jetski for quick getaways
-to pick up a soldier's kit, hold E when looking at his weapon (this is useful to revive teammates if they are playing assault and you aren't)
-you cannot load ammo into guns you pick up on maps (.50 cal sniper etc)
-use 'Q' to spot enemies
-'Q' is also used to request ammo, health, orders etc
-when playing as a squad leader, hold 'Q' to give orders to your squadmates as well as request items from the commander
-enemies can be spotted through smoke grenades
-you can hold 'E' and run towards a vehicle to enter instead of spamming 'E'
-C4, SLAMS, and Claymores can be detonated by shooting them
-pilots can be shot out of all air vehicles
-at full health, tanks need 3 C4 charges to be destroyed
-you can counter a knife kill by pressing 'F'
-knife kills cannot be countered from the side or back

To Add to @DuckKnuckle's post.

  • Press "v" to zero sniper rifle scopes (set the scope distance to counter bullet-drop)
  • Spot all the time.
  • Play Rush at first. It has a clear objective and more easily promotes team work.
  • Use destruction. If they're camping up a building, drop it on them.
  • Be a team player. Drop meds and ammo, when playing Assault and Support, repair vehicles as an engineer.
  • Balance your squad. Don't be a sniper among 4 other snipers. If you notice many assault players go support or engineer.
  • Double Team Tanks. Taking on a vehicle solo is maddness, always make sure you've got other engineers backing you up unless you deploy mines.
  • Spot everything.
  • try to never solo a vehicle, a decent gunner is a good assist, even a crappy one is better than none.
  • Get the feel of the maps and select you loadout accordingly. No point in ranging it out in Locker and running around CQB on Silk.
  • Spot even if there is nothing there!
  • Assault is the core class, build them well and you'll prosper!
  • Don't die, ever. You staying alive is more important than getting a camper tags.
  • If a teamy is going to die because you want to take a enemies tags, rather shoot that enemy, please.
  • Spot all the things!
  • Have fun, it is a game after all :D
 
I'm suddenly experiencing some weird lag or frame drops, not certain. Anybody else feel this jittery behaviour?
