#32 Mini Ambushes
STAY FROSTY. What this means is keep your cool at all times. A mini ambush is an ambush that you set up in the middle of a fire fight. A normal ambush (camping) is when your sitting in a bush or behind some rock, waiting for a guy to come along. It's the easiest kill you can ever get. A MINI AMBUSH is the same thing, only you set it up during the heat of combat. Nerves of steel are required here. If you are fighting against a guy and theres some sort of terrain around you, such as rocks, walls, trees, etc, use them to your advantage to set up a mini ambush. Almost everyone tries and puts things between them and the enemy during reloads or just plain old bad situations. A lot of times during a close quarters battle, you and your enemy can lose sight of one another, for just a second or two. It doesn't matter who puts something between you two, or whose hiding to reload. Either way, you can surprise the enemy by doing something completely unexpected by just getting behind something and STAYING COOL, not moving for a second or two, INSTEAD of just keep moving or popping back out to continue the battle. Get it? You can just stay crouched behind something only 5-15 feet from the guy and don't come out. Thats the hard part. Actually having the nerves to STOP and SIT for a second or two, instead of keeping the gun blazing. For a second or two he'll think maybe you did something like that, but if you STAY FROSTY and just wait 5 seconds, he will automatically assume you went somewhere else and start moving into the open, looking elsewhere or behind him because by now he's absolutely sure you went somewher else... or even better, coming out in the open and walking towards you to check and see if your where he thought he saw you go, but meanwhile he's thinking "Theres no way he just stopped behind that ______ (box, rock, barrels etc)." Then you pop out and get the easy kill. Works awesome among the rocks on Blood Lake, crates on Rats Nest, Frostfire, hell, just about any map has objects to hide behind. The thing is, most people when they get in a battle just keep spraying and moving and going all nuts, instead of just using their head and staying put behind a rock. This happens so absolutely infrequently, that nobody even suspects your hiding there! They ALWAYS think you must have moved somewhere else and they didn't see.

Great tips Al!

Also it works if you have an SD because if your in a not so obvious place or
an obvious place where people don't even take the time to look because they know you wouldn't be there you can get an easy kill and not be spotted until they are dead.
