    From what I remember the Black Ops one was quite successful last time round so why not give this one another go. :)

    Post your tips, best gun/attachment/proficiency combos, map lines of sight etc.

    Shammy you've had it a few days, I'm looking at you. ;)

    If you use that gun with that proficiency with that perk to get that killstreak, you'll be grand.







    Find that.

    RPG to the ground right at the beginning is better (no idea if there is a rocket launcher and noob tube delay in MW3). Not that I have ever done this or anything >_>

    Is there a tutorial on the basics on MW3 of how to move around etc?

    Usually a simple 1 level walkthrough?

    Never played the previous version

    I advise you go into survival mode in Spec Ops on your own and get used to using the guns available. Other than that, watch videos on Youtube on how to play, where to move and opening routes.

    TmarTn is one of the best for tips and tricks I think. This video is pretty useless to you, but sub to him and he'll have A LOT of information out over the next few weeks.

    Also, look for ibashtv and other channels like that, they will have tips and tricks all the time.

    Just to get the basics before I heard out to battle.

    Looks so much easier with keyboard and mouse

    Stick to the mercenary game type if playing on your own. Anything else bar TDM and Kill Confirmed only can be a bit much when starting out especially playing on your lonesome. With that said, I'd recommend adding people from here be it through the OPs in the PS3 or 360 About last night threads or the Sharing Gamer tag thread. I'd go with the former two personally, PC gamer tags are in the Sharing Gamer tag thread.

    Keep to the sides of maps and try and take note of traffic patterns. This will come with time. I suggest watching yourself via the Vault feature in the main menu if you have the time. You'll pick up on your mistakes far quicker.

    Try and stick with a couple of primary guns at the beginning. I suggest the M4 and Scar L from the Assault rifles. UMP from the SMG group.

    Have a class with a launcher in it. People are incapable of doing well because they are unwilling to take down enemy air support, especially UAV's and are left wondering ah ****, why can't I do well/keep getting killed!?I'm a strong player statistically but if I can bother my arse taking out enemy air support, there is no excuses for anyone else not doing so. It's easy XP xp as well.

    Run support package. Streaks are so easy to build tbh. They do not stack, so say if you get 2 kills and you die. Your next kill with get you a UAV still.l

    Best tip ever, throw down a dummy care package beside yourself in an open area then lie prone behind it and kill people who walk by, nobody even looks twice at them anymore and they cant be shot through like cars and concrete pillars in this crap game! :D

    For easy XP

    Put on Hardline, play domination, use the specialist strike package.

    Capture your home flag/get one kill and you've already got an extra perk.

    If you get a 7 kill streak you automatically get all 15 perks for that life. A silenced weapon comes in handy too.

    You unlock loads of challenges when your running all 15 perks so you'll be raking in the XP. I got 32,000 in one game using this set up.

    hardline is a perk in tier 2.
    domination is a game type
    specilast is a killstreak type instead of support or assault unlocked after lvl 20 or so cant remeber exact lvl

    if you new and low lvl at the game id reckon you should use the support killstreak rewards as it easier to get and helps the team out and then as you progress use the toher killstreak types
