Any tips for a complete newbie? :)

Don't grief, don't hack, don't rage, etc. Always play on green, blue is stupid.

Use the rifle and aim for the head.
May need some practice,but after sometime,they wont even have time to shoot back.

If you use the SMG,aim at the torso.The recoil will get you a free headshot.
Fire in small bursts,while aiming down sights,and crouching.This way you will get minimun recoil.

If you use shotgun.
Well...
dont

Make sure you build cahirs BEFORE you snip.

Ignore everything said by those gicks, Blue is the master race.

The soldier that stands tall comes home in a box.

Don't build pixel art and otherwise useless buildings unless on a build server.

Use servers that are in or at least close to your region for the sake of yourself and others. Nobody likes a laggy game :)

This is what I did and it works for me: Play really fast twitch shooters like Counter-Strike: Source or Quake Live. I would suggest Quake Live over CS:S, mostly because it's free and browser-based. And it's so fast and requires so much precision that after you play a while playing Ace of Spades will seem slow and easy.

As for Ace of Spades itself, the best weapon is the rifle. You won't need to use any weapon other than that. You also need to learn how to jump-crouch (for jumping over two-block high obstacles), quick scoping, aiming for the head (headshots are super easy in this game) and not stopping. Seriously, most people I kill are people who decided to stop for a second. Once you learn those basics, you can start learning when to use the spade (never pull it out unless you enter an enemy bunker), how to build proper cover and other things.

Before long, you'll be feeling like a Delta-Force, deniable-ops commando, sneaking through the outskirts of the maps, sniping enemies oblivious to your position, watching people ragequit ... and also getting called a hacker! XD Just reply to those losers with the same phrase on my signature. XD

Good luck! ;-)

EDIT: Also, you can also, if it's your thing, join a clan. Then you can play against clan members and get killed many times without worrying about being insulted.

obviously pick blue. cuz when night comes around, the green guys cant find u

Before you build up, dig down. I have had more luck digging 2 block deep trenches and foxholes than I have with forts and bunkers.

Do not just run straight at the enemy intel. This is a fast way to get killed. Go around the enemy whenever possible. This is one of the most important pieces of advice to learn, and will win you many games.

Green is cool.
Blue is poopy.
Build as much as you wan't, but be sure that those buildings are useful.
^Don't forget to shoot someone from time to time, or else you will miss the whole point of the game.

Play on Blue to build fortresses in the middle of the map so you can snipe away green builders
Play Green to build useless shit
