Don't use killstreaks right away, wait till you respawn because : a- you are less likely to be killed and b- it can help you start a new streak

Doesn't help you start a new killstreak after dying.

Killstreak rewards only count towards your killstreak if you use them during the killstreak you earned them in . . . If you get me:D

Changed that from MW1, where people would build up a chopper, die, call in said chopper and get another one

What has helped me improve as a player the most is learning to flank and move effectively. This comes with learning the maps I suppose, but most people in this game don't protect their flanks at all, making for easy kills. Watch the minimap and horizon for hotspots and come in from the side. When moving around the map always be aware of how many lines of sight there are to you and how best you can move to minimise those lines of sight. I rarely ever get shot from the side and getting shot in the back is a 'wtf' moment.

Like someone said earlier in the thread, a score of 20-4 is better for your team than 30-25

Also don't be cannon fodder for air support, there is nothing wrong with standing in a building untill it goes away

I was hiding in that little shed thing on wasteland from a chopper near our spawn and being given out to over voicechat for doing nothing while the rest of my team ran across the open ground getting mowed down again and again, ultimately ruining our score enough to lose us the match. I'm not sure if they even realised what they were doing, stupid kids hellbent on storming that stupid f**king bunker. I ended up with second highest score and best k/d ratio so I hope they learned something. So yes, hide from the air support if you have to, otherwise you're just giving free points to the other team.

Shoot them before they shoot you.
Aim for the head

Rezident · 12-01-2010 02:46PM

Aim for the head.

Firing a machine gun at someone and hitting them numerous times and yet they are still able to operate fine and shoot you, can be quite annoying.

here's a tip don't die

However I'm playing around with something I heard about, which is changing your button configuration to "Tactical", which basically swaps your crouch/prone and melee buttons. The thinking is that it's more natural to hit the deck with the right stick. You also turn the sensitivity up as high as possible; something you have to do gradually. It can be painfully frustrating at first when someone appears out of nowhere and you try to stab them, but hit the deck instead

Ive heard and seen this tactic being used. VERY VERY effective and can get annoying if you keep meeting the same guy in hall or room, they usually win everytime.

How do you set it up???? i might give it a go!

I tried it for a few minutes early on and then stopped. I was new to the game and learning maps, so this new layout was just a bridge too far in the beginning. Considering going back to it again though.

If you want to change that layout, go to the options menu and change it to the tactical layout. Everything is pretty much the same except for the crouch and melee buttons. This will change the right analog to do a drop shot while the B button is for the melee attack. They have 2 other layouts as well. one for a lefty player and one other that I never tried.

Useful.Idiot · 12-01-2010 04:26PM

A good tip I've read and have put into practice is to always stay AWAY from your own team. Teams tend to advance and congregate as a large group in a certain area. So if your team is advancing ahead you should circumvent around the other side of the map right up the enemy team's ass. Most of them shouldn't be expecting it unless they have UAV, heartbeat sensor or if it's someone with the same mindset as you :P

ChemOC · 12-01-2010 04:38PM

Using the heartbeat sensor can really save your ass. I like to have it on a sniper rifle. That can stop people getting too close when you are snipping.

Claymores with Scavenger is lethal for racking up the kills!!!

nonnah-semaj · 12-01-2010 07:59PM

Incorrect. If you get a 7 killstreak - obtaining harriers, die then use the harriers. If said harriers get 7 kills for you, they won't get you harriers again.

what kill streaks do add to your kill streak?

My Tips:

Recommeded Weapons: TAR-21,SCAR,UMP,50 Cal

Personal Favourite:TAR-21 with Silencer/AA-12 Extended Mags
(Pro Tip: use silencers on everything but shotguns)
Same power as SCAR but with a better ROF and alot better at CQB....Use burst fire for long range maps... Learn to manage the recoil and you wont look back.... The AA-12 is teh sex at CQC many times have i cleared a room with 4/5 people in it (Extended Mags doubles the clip size EPIC!!)

Recommeded Perks:

Slot 1: Scavenger
Slot 2: Stopping Power/Cold Blooded
Slot 3: Steady Aim

Personal Favourtie:

Slot 1: Scavenger
Slot 2: Stopping Power
Slot 3: Steady Aim

Many a Nuke(All legit BTW) ive gotten with the above setup

Recommended Killstreaks:

Slot 1: Preadator
Slot 2: Harrier Strike
Slot 3: Chopper Gunner

Personal Favourite:

Slot 1: Harrier Strike
Slot 2: Chopper Gunner
Slot 3: Tactical Nuke

I have knocked out at least 20 Nukes with this killstreak setup(Favela FTW)

Overall Tips:

As somebody already said play defensively(Always use Claymores), that doesnt mean camp just create killzones(eg.Buildings around bomb site B in Favela in Demo(Pro Tip:Always play Demo good fun with friends and it gets you loads of xp !!))

Also communication is key to sucess(get a headset ffs!!) Use all assets available(Radar,UAV,Footsteps,Team-Mate,Killcams)

Have a designitated Anti-Air Class as soon as an AC130 or Chopper Guner hits the skies change to it a down it(When playing with friends have a designitated Anti Air Man)

And finally don't camp(Espically with HBS) or n00b-tube or you will get an ear full from me!!

the only tip you'll need.

Assault rifle with a Noob tube, with the perk that gives extra explosive damage. And a Thumper for your secondary kit.

Launched explosive goodness in one neat little tin.

use one man army instead of Thumper to get more ammo every time you use it also claymores.
