NOOBS: Learn from YouTube

CORRECTION TO THE TITLE ~ I think everyone could probably learn something new from these guys, not just beginners.


I hope some find this helpful. When I first started playing online on MW2 I was clueless. Then one day someone sent me a link to one of xJaws videos. Since then I've been watching and subscribing to several channels. Here are a list of my favorites that I have learned A LOT from. If you're struggling, see how the best do it. Monkey see, monkey do!

I did a search before hand so I hope this isn't a repost. Please add your favorites!

Cool, never really have the time to watch video's [if at work you tube blocked, if at home on killing ppl]. I found the painful way is the only way for me to learn.

If you have ever seen me play you will know what I mean.

Great post Sr Slampiece, i checked out some of these and im feeling like my games improved. Mabey next time you get stuck in a party with me ill pull more of my weight!

If you know of a good vid or have some advice on aiming/identifiying targets at long distance that would help me and all the other noobs here out i would think?

Great stuff. I really enjoy Woody's videos and have been just listening to the live streams he does at work the next day. I've tried to make use of some of the callouts that he does as they are useful and I've picked up a couple tips too that I hadn't even thought about before.

Delta, glad to be in a party with ya!

Last year Woody did a series of "Dissecting The Greats" where he broke down the top players game play and analysed them. These are mostly from BlackOps but still very relevant.


Here is a link to the Dissecting playlist




Delta, have you tried using the Marksman perk? I use it on almost every class. If you're using an automatic assault rifle from long distance, don't hold down the trigger, you want to burst fire allowing the gun come back to "zero".

If you ever want to go into a private game and try some stuff out, I'm always game.

These videos are really good, but I have to say, the 100 kill matches are ridiculous. They are playing the biggest newbs of all time. I sometimes get into a lobby with newbs and start the match hitting all my killstreaks and then I'm like, damn, I wish I had Reaper, AC 130, Osprey.

I need to have a Perfect Storm class for when I have a great connection and terrible opponents...

Marksman is great. As well as changing your settings to Color blind assist. Everything seems to pop out.

I understand that perfectly. I suggest for those that are pretty average back on Black ops you should try bumping KS up IF you go back to play. I had some of my best games recently. The game has become child's play.

Thanks for the links. I'll check them out.I can use all the help I can get thanks.

Thanks for the aiming advice slampiece and jk. I tried these out last night, and went 27 and 12! By far my best ever. I guess there is hope for a noob like me haha!

Awesome! 2+ K/D's from here on out!

I hope so, but that was just one game. The next couple we played i was closer to +1 K/D, still much improved from the night before.

if i can figure out how to post a link on here with my droid theres a video from tmartn on a great line of sight on the village map.

Heres that one i was talking about:

That is what I have done in MW3. In BO I used to run almost all my class slots with completely different loadouts dependent on game type and map. I find for MW3 I am running class slots with very similar weapons and perks but with variations of strike packages. I get an easier lobby I have one set up with higher assault killstreaks. I get a very tough lobby I have a support class streak package. My default is always Care Package, Predator, Assault Chopper. I find especially in Domination I can get 2 choppers a game with a combination of capping flags, shooting down air support and kills.

I find the helis to be hit or miss. They are so easy to shoot down that they almost yield no kills in Dom, unless you are playing noobs. In FFA, they routinely mop up 5-8 kills because no one wants to expose themselves shooting them down.

I've been running UAV,CP,Bitch bomb and having some great success, especially in Dom where the bomb is an easy double kill in their spawn. And the CP can often be a reaper or better. Plus you can cycle through them faster.

I tend to do 5-7-9 (Predator-Attack Heli-AH6 Overwatch) or 5-9-13 (Predator-AH6 Overwatch-Pavelow/AC130). I don't have Support on many classes anymore, because I found that when I played with the Support strike package, I tended to just blindly rush into things knowing that kills/objectives/taking out enemy equipment/air support fueled my streak. With Assault strike package on, I play a lot more conservatively/tactically without camping.

I pick my spots and play aggressively and still end up with a fair amount of Predator/Helis/Overwatch to make it worthwhile.
