Tips From The Beasts?

So it's best to control a certain area of the map it seems? I try to run and gun and usually just get pooped on. Have yet to get into the swing of things with this game.

I figure it this way for Dom if you have 4 people "patrolling" the area around b and the rest doing the same around a/c then you can keep 2 flags. The shit hits the fan when people get greedy and take off looking for kills and trying to triple cap. Alot of people hate to play defense but my opinion is if you want to win dom matches thats the way to do it.

Maybe I should take more pride in my 1.33 W/L ratio than loathing my 1.08 KDR lol...

I am just ultra competitive and hate seeing myself at the bottom of the leaderboard in scores so much, I feel if I am going to play a game almost as much as a full time job I should be damn good at it

We have been winning alot more Dom games lately.. And it has more to with defending our flags than anything else.

Once they are lost it is hard recap, and that is when the grind of fighting off all the pesky campers begins...

You have to let them come to you in Dom...

Colby the FMG9s spray a ton of bullets and if used highly often will tremendously reduce accuracy. I use them on my sniper classes where I have a 50% or more accuracy and after using those suckers its less than 20%.....fyi

Stream man funny thing is, according to elite... my FMG9 accuracy is 10% in contrast to my ACR accuracy at 11% lol...as well as my UMP45 and P90 accuracy at 11%...

Only the SCAR is any better at 12%

Yup i agree 100% with that Snow. Just sucks cause some of these maps you get screwed if you start on one side compared to another. Village is a good example if you start at A then you are basically behind from the get go.

Village A spawn is ridiculous...

the other team basically gets B and C right away and you have to fight for them

Currently sporting a 1.99 KDR in the 2nd Prestige, here's what I got:

-If you're not playing with a good group you're at a disadvantage...and as slimy as this seems, if you're playing with randoms online you need to be selfish. Let your teammates be the first around a corner, the first to a flag, let them be your bait.

LOL I could not agree more with this one! When I'm with randoms I let the other guy go ahead of me ALL the time - they draw the fire and I get the kill most times.

Nixon you are SPOT ON. I've had insane 100pt upsets because someone got cute and wanted to attempt a triple cap and it was all down hill from there. This holds especially true for maps like Mission if you were once holding B C now got flipped to A.

I'm no beast, but the ol' KD is climbing nicely...going up about .2 per night. Up to a pedestrian 1.14. 1.41 WL. I started out mostly running and not knowing the maps getting owned. I didn't like Dom initially, but lately I'm having better stat games in Dom than KC. (FFA is still the best for KD)

I always run CP, just because you never know what you'll get. Also UAV and Pred, or if I'm feeling plucky, I'll run CP, Pred, Heli.

Patrolling a hotspot is key. I've found I'm using ARs more than the first prestige, where it was all SMGs. Once I get ACR and Stinger unlocked to go with the MP7, I'll be set. Just for shits and grins I'll unlock the Striker and try to level that up eventually because it appears to be unstoppable with Range.

I am not a beast, but was recently faced with a falling KDR...so I put the smg away and tried the Type 95 out...I have never seriously used a burst weapon before and it forced me to slow my game WAY down and the result has been pretty incredible so far...with the Type 95 I have a KDR of 1.63 and my accuracy is 21%...my overall KDR has increased to 1.19 from 1.10...

My setup is

Type95 w/red dot and kick
FMG9 w/Akimbo
Flash
Bouncing Betty
Blind Eye
Assasin
Marksman

I no longer "rush" I try to keep an eye on the open areas and if I need to enter a building I always switch to the FMG69 since the Type 95 is tough to use in tight spots...

I love that I can usually kill with one burst and the Marksman perk allows me to spot people I never would have noticed otherwise

Soo I've been reading up on posts and there are a lot of good tips in them. I think that your playstyle also has to match the gametype and those of your team members. If I'm playing with my regular team members I know they have their flags covered so I can go and wreak some havoc. However on some maps I will have to camp since it will be easier to control/win that way and will hold back.

But since in BLOPS you had the same playstyle as me, I will try to give you insight on the way I usually play. Normally I will have:

Blind Eye/Recon
Assasin Pro/Blastshield
Marksman/Stalker

I run low assault killstreaks Uav/Pred/Chopper when it's an easy game, or support Uav/Sam/Emp when it's a good team. ARC 6.8 on big maps, Ump 45 on medium sized maps and Striker on small maps. I use kick and red dot mainly (grip with striker) and have my sensitivity on 10.

I run, rush and camp. Meaning if the game is fast and we switch a lot between controlling points I will always cap the flag where I'm near. Run trough it once, wait a bit, kill the one or two trying to defend (blastshield helps a lot) it and take it.

I'll always assume there's 2 instead of one so will always wait with reloading. Marksman lets me see a lot. Another point of which you should be aware is that the auto aim is still there. So let go a bit of your stick(you do need to adjust it to the direction where you are expecting them from) when capping a flag and it will automatically adjust. I don't need L1 up close if you've targeted your opponent just blast away. I'll only use it when they are far away.

Last but not least, if I kill one, he will either spawn behind me or in front of me. Just wait and check for a few seconds most people will try to get revenge. I'm regularly checking my games to see where heat points are so I adjust to high traffic area zones.

Unlike most posters I tend to move throughout the map. I always check the mini map and try not to push to far ahead. It does happen however and in those games I will always make a circle so I can pick up A or C. Ow and yes I love running trough the middle that way I can guess where people are hiding + stalker will help you move out of some bullets.

I did this last night in our games, I just camped around the B flag didnt rush into enemy spawn and nearly every game was a 1.50-2.0 ratio for me, helps when the competition wasnt that great but they all sported +1 KDRs so they werent total lay downs

Thanks for the advice, will keep hanging at B most of the round on maps where it's viable
