Extracting Mr. Pickle
In the mission where you rescue Mr. Pickle, equip Kahuna with the claymore. When you capture Mr. Pickle, do all the other objectives besides "Extract Mr. Pickle". Get to the main gate where you would go if you followed the bridge. Place a claymore near the gate with the "jail cell" bars. Get your team away from it then let it explode. The gate will blow up, allowing you to easily extract Mr. Pickle.
Bonus objectives
There are many different ways to achieve bonus objectives. In almost every level, you can complete a bonus objective by listening in on conversations (for example, in the first level, sneak up and hide in the bushes from the first two sentries), or there are other ways by gathering intel, capturing Bosses, recon sentries, or blowing something up (for example, in the last level, place C4 on the helicopter).
Quickly get higher ranks
Usually the best way to get a higher rank is to get MVP in the rounds. Also try killing people who are higher in rank than you. For example, if your an ensign, kill a lot of lieutenant commanders and captains. Also avoid dying. REMEMBER: If your team wins a lot of rounds, you also go down in rank
Easy surrenders
To get a person to surrender easier, equip yourself with a stun grenade. Go into a mission and sneak up on the enemy. Do not be seen, then throw the grenade at him/her and run away/look away. This is useful when you have to capture Bosses. You can then restrain them when they surrender.
Vote off when you die
To vote someone off your team online when you die, press Circle. Then, go to "Teammates" and select the person who you want to vote off. Then, press X on "Vote Off." REMEMBER: If you camp and hide, you will probably not die. Also, you must at least get four votes on that player before they are voted out.
