Tribes: Aerial Assault

Add "EXPERT-A" or "EXPERT-B" to your character's buddy list. A and B represent the A or B control settings. If you use C or D, you're out of luck for the moment. Now go online and join a dedicated server (has an arrow or star next to it.) Leave and go back to your setup screen. Go to the controls screen, and you should see a new setting which has replaced A or B. The main reason to use this is that it lets you throw the flag!

NOTE: Adding EXPERT-A or EXPERT-B to your buddy list also lets you use CHAT-TEST, so you don't need to have them both on your list at once.

An easy way to earn extra points and kills during Deathmatches is to set up as many remote turrets and sensors as possible. You will be awarded extra points just for placing these, plus the turrets will attack and kill most enemies who come within its range, giving whoever set up that turret the kill points. The sensors allow the turrets to attack enemies that are longer distances away from the turrets position. This is also an easier way to hold a base during capture and hold missions/matches.

While in the menu for your charactar click ''buddy list'' press add then enter CHAT-TEST. During gameplay (on a server) press square and then there will be a list of options press whatever direction you want(right corrisponds with square, left corrisponds with circle, up corrisponds with triangle and down corrisponds with X) When you press square during gameplay you can't do anything but pick options so make sure your not in a duel with another person

During the Onslaught mission, the best strategy for surviving the Derm Forces is to simply repair the generator, then repair the two turrets. One is on a hill and another is up towards the roof opening. After that is accomplished, go up to the roof opening where the flag is located in the capture the flag games, Then, go to the nearest Inventory Station and select Medium Armor. Select your pack as Remote Turret. Deploy two turrets on each end of the turret side of the base and deploy a few more where each opening to the basement is located (near each of the Inventory Stations). Then, hide and let your Mortar Turrets (you should have switched them at the beginning) and Remote Turrets do all the work. After the first wave is over, switch to the Heavy Armor (Juggernaut Armor) with a Shield Pack (activate it frequently).

There are many floating patches of land that are some times useful to pick off enemies. Some of the soldiers will see you before they get killed and start shooting underneath you. If this happens, jump off, spin, and while in the air, shoot him.

You can protect your flag by surrounding it with mines and also keep remote turrets nearby. You need to keep your generator room protected with remote turrets. To get remote turrets set medium/heavy armor and your backpack needs to be the remote turret. Aim where you want to place it, press circle, and fire (L2). Hope this helps all you newbies.

When you are in need of ammunition and do not have an ammo pack (but for example have an energy pack), on some maps there are bunkers with packs in them. If you do not have an ammo pack and there is one on the ground, swap for whatever pack you have to get instant ammunition. You can do this back and forth as many times as needed.

Set the map to be a capture the flag level and make sure it has flat land, but a long stretch between the bases. There can be mountains, but make sure the path back and forth is just flat land. A good example would be Katabatik (a snow level). Get your vehicle to a fighter and set it to third person vehicle under the player menu during game play. This allows you to see where you are driving a lot more than in a first person vehicle. Drive around in the air between the bases, but stay away from the enemy bases. They will more than likely have a heat seeking turret waiting for you. When an enemy approaches your base, fly down and hit him from above, from in front, from behind, or from the sides. It will instantly kill him if done correctly. It can sometimes be difficult, but will be easy most of the time.

During the first deathmatch, get to the tower. There will be satchel charges that you can plant.

To say phrases to other players not previously capable of such as "Repair me", "I need a ride", and others, create a character to your liking. Then, in your buddy list enter "CHAT-TEST". Note: This code will only work in the rooms marked "Inevitable" with an arrow pointed towards them.
