Sprinting & Knowing When To Do It
In Call of Duty, a simple rule of thumb is not to run around corners. This is because you can't
be
sure what is around the corner, so you need to be ready for anything. It's also due to the fact
there is a period of vulnerability between the sprint animation and being able to shoot your
gun;
meaning you're at the mercy of your opponent. The audio is also very loud when you're running,
so
everyone will be able to hear you - slow it down so you won't get caught out and keep yourself
undetected.
Create Classes For Different Playstyles
Every match you play will be different and you want to be prepared for all situations, This is
why
you need to have these classes:
Rifle Class: Your go-to power class that gets you your streaks. A nice versatile weapon that you
want to put time into. Rushing Class - A fast pace SMG class for getting up close and personal,
great for round opening routes and for staying undetected by enemy UAVs.
Sniper Class: For big maps with long lines of sight and open space to pick off enemies at a
distance, useful for locking down areas of the map and picking up stay players to build towards
streaks.
CQB Class: A destructive shotgun class for maps that are extremely small with tight corridors
and
corners to help you blow through the opposition and keep you ready.
Killstreak Class: This class is made to keep you safe from killstreaks and take them down if
your
team isn't quite performing.
Controller Settings
Get the right settings for you to help get the best out of your game, that means setting
yourself up
with the right button layout and sensitivity. If you play a slower game and opt to use weapons
such
as rifles and LMGs, we recommend lowering your sensitivity; this is to improve your accuracy. If
you're a fast and furious player, who likes to get close and personal with the enemy, we
recommend
increasing your sensitivity; this is to speed up how quickly you can turn and snap onto multiple
players quickly. We also recommend switching your layout to tactical so you can drop shot by
clicking the right thumbstick. This is even more useful in Modern Warfare as there are far fewer
melee opportunities than in past Call of Duty games.
Weapon Knowledge and Killstreaks
Testing different guns at every opportunity to figure out what each gun is like and what you're
most
comfortable with. There are always some guns that perform better than others. These are the best
guns:
-M4A1 (ASSAULT RIFLE)
-MP5 (SMG)
-Model 680 (SHOTGUN)
-M91 (LMG)
-AX-50 (SNIPER)
If you’re struggling to get going and rarely pulling together a killstreak, a really simple thing
to
do is lower your killstreaks to help yourself and your team. Here are two killstreak setups we
recommend:
If you're struggling:
Personal Radar -> UAV -> Cruise Missile
If you're playing well:
UAV -> Cruise Missile -> Chopper Gunner
Utilize Cover, The Environment, and Enemy UAVs
Cover in this game is everywhere, so it makes it quite easy to make your way around the map
without
exposing yourself too much. If you can take gunfights behind cover, you instantly create an
advantage for yourself by revealing less of your body.
Furthermore, you can now 'mount' cover allowing you to add more stability to your shot and peer
around corners without exposing yourself fully. You can also change it to double-tapping, also
you
can do plenty with the doors. Apart from opening and closing them normally, you can run straight
through them to catch opponents off guard. It's also a great way to disrupt enemies from
attacking
you! If you're not a running Ghost, which is highly recommended. If you're in a building there
are
fewer directions for the enemy to attack you from and will better your chances of staying alive
by
funneling the traffic the way that YOU want it to. It is also good to group up with your team as
you're less likely to be isolated and killed, there is power in numbers and also more targets
for
the enemy to aim at!
