To help ease everyone's suffering, here are a few handy tips for playing a GDI soldier. In Sewer (the map in the beta), your team's job (The GDI in this case) is to hack the control center deep in the (you guessed it) sewer. The Strogg's goal is to defend against your team's incursions. Each round lasts upwards of 20 minutes depending on the server rules. Sooner, if you take out the controls, of course.
Before the round starts, players warm up until either the server fills up, or everyone presses F3 to signify their readiness. You have a few weapons to choose from, including an assault rifle, rocket launcher, Rambo style heavy machine gun or shotgun. By pressing "L" you can change your weapon at any time, and the next time you respawn, the switch will go into affect. All the little icons and doodads are intimidating at first, but your job is pretty simple.
