Being new to AssaultCube, you will need to get familiar with some of the basics.

==Chat==
To send a message, press ''T'', type your message, and press ''Enter''.

===Team chat===
Team chat is quite an important step if you are playing team games, and especially organised clan games, so it has been implemented in AssaultCube. It's easy to use - just push ''Y'' instead of ''T''. These messages will show up in blue instead of green.

==Names==
Of course, learning the usage of T will lead us to the first basic steps - changing your nickname. By default, your alias / nickname is "unarmed".
A nickname is what people will know you by. Your nickname can be as simple as your first name - it can be pretty much anything!
To change your nickname to ''Mario'', you will need to execute <code>/name "Mario"</code> in your console.

Since many players are in [[Clan|clans]], they will usually have a name extension that shows which clan they are in - a clan tag. Clan tags usually go in front of one's real nickname but can in cases be in the end - such as ''^MD'' for the MD clan.

<b>Note:</b> Deliberately using another person name or clan tag, without permission, is a blacklistable offence.
==Weapons==
The weapon choice may differ between [[Gamemodes]], but [[Capture the flag]] and [[deathmatch]] games are usually composed of all available weaponry. Yet, you can only choose one of the four main weapons - Assault Rifle, SMG, Sniper and Shotgun. To do that, you have to press '''B''' and select the right weapon. Next time you spawn, you will own that weapon.

==Purpose==
The purpose of this game is to kill (frag, gib).
A '''gib''' is the fragging of an enemy that causes their bodies to explode.
Usually, making one gib will award you with an extra frag, making gibbing more efficient than normal fragging.
In AssaultCube, gibs can be made through the use of a [[knife]], [[grenade]] or a [[sniper rifle]] (when shot at the head of the enemy).

All other methods will frag your enemy.

==Basic controls==
Basic controls are the main controls that are essential in the gameplay.

===Movement===
;W: Move forward
;S: Move backward
;A: Move left
;D: Move right
;Space: Jump
;Shift: Crouch

Turn your mouse to change which direction you are looking.

===Fighting===
;MOUSE1 (left mouse button): Shoot
;MOUSE2 (right mouse button): Zooms in with the scope if using the sniper, otherwise throws a nade
;R: Reload
;Mousewheel: Up or down - will switch your current weapon
;1/2/3/4:Different weapon choice
;R:Reload the weapon

===Misc===
;Tab:Shows the scoretable while held down
;LALT (Left Alt): Show the map and your location
;/: Alternative console
;Esc:Bring up the menu
;B:Change your current primary weapon (it changes the next time you spawn)

 The weapon choice may differ between [[Gamemodes]], but modes such as [[Capture the Flag]] and [[Deathmatch]] games are usually composed of all available weaponry. Yet, you can only choose one of the five main weapons at a time for your primary - Assault Rifle, SMG, Sniper, Shotgun, and the Carbine. To do that, you have to press '''B''' and select the weapon of your choice. Next time you spawn, you will own that weapon.
