Chapter 1 - The Classes
Before I talk about the gameplay basics, it is important to know the different classes in Ace of Spades and figure out which class is the best one for you.

The Commando:

The Commando is a class that is mainly focused on heavy assault fire. They are one of the best classes for causing destruction, and is a good class to pick if you are new to the game and are not sure what class to choose.

The Commando has a mini-gun, or a selection of two different rocket launchers as a primary weapon.

Use this class if you want to cause lots of damage and destruction against the enemy team.


The Sniper:

The Sniper is a class that is mainly focused on support fire and stealth type combat.

The Sniper's primary weapon is the bolt action sniper rifle, which has two varients: One only holds one shot at a time but has a very high scope zoom, or one that holds many shots at one time, but doesn't have a very far scope zoom.

If you want to support your team from a distance, or want to be stealthy and want to get that perfect headshot, The Sniper class is for you.


The Engineer:

The Engineer class is a good class that focuses mainly on going against the enemy team to steal intel, help build structures, construct turrets, and fly to other places that most other classes cannot reach.

The Engineer's primary weapon is the Machine Gun and what sets The Engineer apart from the other classes is that he has a jetpack.

If you want a good all around class that can fly, then The Engineer is a good class to pick.


The Miner:

The Miner class is mainly focused on mining, and destroying big chunks of land at a time with explosives.

The Miner's primary weapon is the shotgun or the double barrel shotgun.

If you want to cause a lot of destruction, or build structures, then The Miner is a good class to choose.
Chapter 2 - The Gameplay Basics
Now that you know the classes that are available in the game, it is important to know how to play the game. Now this part isn't going to cover the game's controls.

Now when you first go out in the battlefield, it is important to know what the objective is. Let's go over the game modes that will be covered in this guide:

Team Deathmatch - Kill the enemy team to earn points.
Diamond Mine - Mine Diamonds and bring them back to your base.
Zombie - Survive as long as you can.
Capture the Flag - Steal the enemy's intel and bring it back to your base.

Ace of Spades has many other modes that aren't covered in this guide. I might add them later, but for now, these are the game modes that are going to be included in this guide.

Anyways, let's go over the basics of the game, by class.

The Commando:

Watch out for enemy Snipers, and attack any enemy's you see. Make sure all of your team mates are safe, by keeping the enemys away. Attack in the front lines of battle.

The Sniper:

Stay back. Also it is good to watch out for enemy Snipers, because they are a big threat to your team, and to you. Snipe enemys to support your team and to make it easier for them to survive on the battlefield. It is also a good idea to find cover, and don't stay in the same place, because when the enemy knows where you are, you become a target.

The Engineer:

Place your turrets in places where you can get a lot of kills and where there is a lot of fighting on the battlefield. Try to infiltrate the enemy's base, and when you are in danger, fly away with your jetpack.

The Miner: Dig. Make tunnels that lead into the enemy's base, and have some of your team mates follow you so you can surprise the enemy. Don't dig straight into their base, or else you can be out numbered and killed easily. Try to dig your tunnels near the enemy base, so the enemy team won't be aware, and so you have a fighting chance so you don't get shot instantly when you dig out into their base.

@dinol you are correct. And this guide only tells you that if you like sniping people then the sniper is for you so it isn't a guide its more like a fast overview of each class.

I find turrets completely useless. They cant aim at all. Sniper usually shoots em down. Putting them in the middle of battle is just suicide.
