So I was just playing on Dead City and came across a situation I've wanted to discuss. Below I'm going to attach an image to illustrate what I'm trying to convey.
In the image we'll see the blue X about to be engaged by 2 reds. Or a red and a pink for ease of explanation. The lines are the areas they have an angle to fire into. As you can see the pink O can safely be fired upon by the blue X if he hugs the wall to his left and moves up just barely. That makes him the priority. As the red advances (in this case it was a Leo, so speed isn't as much of an issue) his angle of fire increases. As that occurs the blue will need to move back. Some awareness of what weapons everyone has is needed to fully make use of this. The red Leo had a thunder and pinatas. He had just fired his pinatas and I assume was waiting while they reloaded. That meant it was relatively safe to bump up and attack the pink O. I went for Pink first and destroyed him. Then I went back and around the obstacle to my left, came up behind the red O and caught him by surprise because he was focused on where I was previously instead of staying aware of my movement. By the time he realized what was occurring he was flying toward the heavens, the beacon was defended, and the blue team had the advantage of 2 reds respawning. That allowed the rest of blue to double team the remaining reds and continue to hold the advantage. Had I attacked the Red O first, they would double teamed me, almost surely killed me, taken the beacon, and quite possibly the game.
This is only one example. The game and every map is full of angles that can be used both to attack and as cover. Learning to use them will positively improve your performance.
