Correct; and I wish he hadn't, since it seems to confuse just about every new player and derail story-speculation threads on a regular basis.

: 2. Can you go fisticuffs with phfor in groups without getting shot by a red

I usually can; I just try to keep moving and stay in open spaces. On the other hand playing below TC limits how much ammo you can carry, and it's only in PID and some fan scenarios that it's ever really tight, so saving it has diminishing returns.

I'd suggest studying vidmaster films, but I don't think there are any for the current AO.

Meh. The game *is* designed to try to kill you, and skill in other shooters doesn't really translate directly to Marathon.
