There are different tactics I use for multi-player.  2 person is totaly 
different, but since I play alot of you guys over IHHD, I wont talk about my 2 
player tactics. :)

General tactics:

Use the terrain to your advantage.  
 -Try to stay in dark areas of a room if dog fighting.  
 -If someone's close to lava, warm them up and fire at the ground.  Lava's 
  explosive.
 -If someone's in a closet (small room with only 1 way out) fire all you have  
  at em.  They have to hide somewhere.  If you have a smart, that's the 
  perfect  time use it.  They can't run from it if they have no where to go.  
  Mega's are also nice for this.  But a waste.  Concussions are underated and  
  are pefrect for this.  You have 20 concussions that you've picked up?  Now's 
  the perfect time to use them.  Don't worry about hitting the player with 
  them,  the explosion should do the trick if you fire enough.  

Multi-player tactics:

Never allow yourself to be trapped between 2 players.
 -If you're in a long tunnel and you have someone in front of you and someone 
   behind you.  Fly over/under the person in front of you, or duck down a side 
   tunnel.  I find about 90% of the time they'll sit there firing at each 
   other.  Wait till either you can get a good shot at one w/o exposing 
   yourself, or wait till they have killed eachother, or just one guy is left. 
   He'll be hurt so quickly kill him too.  Not only do you spare your own life 
   (you would have died if you were getting hit from both sides), but you get 
   all their weapons, and possibly 2 health balls.

Use your smarts missiles in defense
 -If someone is chasing you and you don't have much to defend yourself with, 
  fire a smart missile at a wall and keep running.  This is far more effective 
  than proximity mines.  As I tend to kill myself with them more often than 
  others.  As you're running away from someoen, fire the smart at a wall and  
  keep running.  Even if you fire it ahead of yourself, they won't hurt you 
  and   most likely clear your back side.  (don't forget to pick up the 
  goodies)

Note: If you have more than 4 players, try the First Strike missions with map 
turned on.  The Total Chaos levels are fun for small groups, but we always 
have 8 players in the game and they're too small.  Fly into a room and some 
random shot kills you, no skill involved.  The larger levels are perfect since 
you're more likely to find 2-3 people fighting at once instead of 7.
