"The better the player, the better he will dodge. Total beginners will stand still, newbs will run around, advanced players will strafe while walking to be faster, more advanced players will dance around, semi pros will jump, jump crouch, run backwards and dance, while pros will do everything listed previously and also use their surroundings to practically become ninjas to the extent the game will permit it."
while this does make some sense, there are many players who simply focus on aiming. Everyone strafe runs to some degree while firing, but people like horus, newbie, myself, etc. prefer to aim more precisely than move around. Xemi is hard to hit sure, and his aim has gotten a lot better while moving, but if you're focused on dodging, you're also not hitting for the most part.
"From what I gathered, best way to go about surving long periods of time is to camp a route and stay on defense."
if the goal is to survive, you should just hide in a corner and not worry about losing the game. death is a tactical play in this game and not enough people realize this as far as i can tell. Its always good to get a frag and a flag, but often times you can choose not to kill to set up an easy push. while some other dipshit is trying to whore back some health around his own base, you can double their teammate and then double them (2v2, just one of many examples).
I realize you may be talking about pubs, but if the goal is to be a good player then we shouldnt base what we know off publics. fragging and aiming does matter, but positioning is oft overlooked. If you're trying to beat feng 1cap, just run around him, he's easily confused.
