What does the select button do? Isn't that show scoreboard?
I was using the turret on the parked tank for most of that game. But I hardly got any points 
Is there some sort of FAQ where people can learn how to play this game? I didn't know how to plant C4 until my third match, and I'm pretty sure there's still stuff I don't know.

Tips:
SPAM (tap, not hold) the Select button. What'll happen is that you'll identify the enemy to everybody else, so they're pretty much guaraunteed to die and give you an easy 20 points. With all the dust, explosions, ruble, it's also easier to see the orange dot and just shoot it. The dot also stays even if the guy loses LOS, so you'll know when he runs into a building, if he's going for the corner, or going upstairs.
Burst fire
COVER COVER COVER!!!!
Let me emphasize this, if we were to consider two extremes, camping and running around like URT or something, this game is more like a camp fest. BC1 emphasized cover, but this one does so more, because you simply do not have the option to run around and headshot anymore. Straight on charges agaisnt enemies are something to be avoid. Rather, you want to be attacking from the sides, above, etc.
Even if you are facing someone faceon. If you have soemthing to duck under, that fight will last longer, and you very much have the chance of taking on 2-3 guys head on as long as you have cover to take.
Minimap and orange dots. Know where the enemy is. If you see ANYBODY or SUSPECT anybody running towards an alley, or trying to get behind the battle, go after them, or be aware of them. You can't wishfully think that they don't exist anymore like in other games. It frusturates me so much, when I'm on a tank, and I spot a group of people, or even one, and everyone just ignores it and drives/runs towards the crate. I hate it when I spot a sniper, and nobody looks up.
I think that Medic is the most accesible and easy class. You have a medkit. You have a large magazine. You have great range and recoil for medium ranged conflicts.
Tanks- You want to attack by the sides, and best, from behind. I still haven't gotten used to the tank battles yet, namely because the maps are not really fit for big vehicle on vehicle battles, but I go to the left side near the mountains of defender, since I know that the 2 attacking tanks will exposed their sides towards me when they get to the gate, while I only show the front.
RUN AWAY!!! Don't be afraid to run. If you get caught off card, run for cover. If you run into a group of soldiers, run. Run with outflanking in mind. So if I bump into a bunch of guys at a stairs, I'll run back up, and then look for a house, look for a dumpster, etc to hide. Once I hide, I can recollect my thoughts, and see where everyone else is. They'll split up, they'll show their backs to me, etc.
Use your grenades if you feel like you're going to die. You only have 1, so I wouldn't advise spamming them like in UC, but they're for desperate measures. If you can't fight back because you're pinned down, throw a grenade and at least get some breathing space.
