That's a hell of a ratio. Do you have any advice for a guy who wants to improve his k/d?
Hopefully something other than "be That Jerk who sets the spawn trap on Dom/Demo games." I hate that guy, especially when I am playing with regular jerks instead of friends or PA guys and your team is just too damn terrible to take out a spawn trapper.
Allow me to incoherently write down some thoughts on my gameplay style:
I play mostly TDM and DOMINATION, the tactics listed below generally apply to those gametypes, even though I apply some common sense and they usually work fine for other gametypes.
- I know its frowned upon but I dont really care - I use GHOST, SLEIGHT OF HAND, NINJA
- My killstreaks are 3 RADAR, 9 CHOPPER GUNNER, 11 DOGS
- I use the 74u with GRIP, even after nerf
- The gun is perfect for players with a focused mid-range game. You have the speed to win close range battles and the distance to take care of mid to mid-long range fights with some decent aim (even though after nerf the success in those has scaled back some).
- I use 3 sensitivity
- I use semtex, flashbangs, and claymores
- Ghost and Ninja allow me benefits in keeping my killstreak alive by catching enemies by surprise - I feel supremely confident in getting my last 2 kills after gunner thats why i dont use BLACKBIRD
- Sleight of Hand is vastly underrated, it saves my ass constantly in 1 on 1 close range fights as well as keeping my ammo loaded in sequencial close range battles where i have a multiple enemies bearing down on me.
- DOGS and GUNNER in sequence is generally pretty successful for racking up high kill counts, you have enemies focused on taking down air support getting killed by dogs, and you have enemies on the ground focused on avoiding dogs getting killed by my gunner
- I try and stay moving
- I try and stay away from my teammates, but not consciously?
- I always take notice of the radar, in terms of general enemy area, not in terms of exact locations
- I like having radar as my 3 KS because it gives me a push through kills 4-9.
- I plant claymores in high traffic areas, in passing, not caring what happens with it
- I plant claymores to cover a generally uncoverable area behind me, allowing me to focus on whats in front of me
- Whenever I have a free moment I replace my secondary with a long range gun, it helps immensly. After I do this I switch back and forth depending on what area of the map I am in, and what type of situation im more likely to find myself in (long range vs short range)
- My general gamesense and corner peeking ability has been molded over years playing CAL-i CS and DoD, as well as quake, UT, and numerous other PC games, MW2 was my first console shooter and while it did take me a few weeks to adapt to the sticks vs mouse/keyboard it's more about your smarts. Since I dont really have time to take games seriously anymore I subliminally try and re-live my competitive gaming "glory days" by being a try-hard pub douche
- Anticipation is a FPS gamers most undervalued skill, if you can anticipate spawns and movements you will always be a step ahead.
- Confidence - playing good vs playing bad, like in sports and many other areas of life comes down to confidence. I always play knowing ill kill the next guy i see before he kills me, if you play scared, if you over-camp, you wont play up to your potential.
- All of this adds up to me having games like the ones listed below, having 40-1 games consistently will obviously help your KDR, because like everyone else i do have bad games and even sometimes finish with barely positive KDRs. Feel free to watch them, you'll notice pretty much everything i list above.
I am about 20K in EXP away from Prestiging. It was my goal to at least accomplish that once. Took me longer than I can explain but shooting planes and choppers to get hardened Pro led to my demise too many times.
I like the idea of the double exp weekend for Xbox map launch, maybe that means they will do it again for the PS3 launch. Plus, I was on the fence about buying the DLC, but maybe, just maybe a quicker second Prestige is the incentive I need.
preston, those videos are interesting. I run almost the same build, except I use Marathon and use Rapid Fire instead of the Grip. I tend to use Napalm/BB/Dogs but sometimes get into games where no one else uses SP, so I switch to SP/BB/Dogs.
I've been playing around with using Extended Mags instead of RF because while RF means you mow people down at close range, ammo burns up quickly and even with SoH Pro that quick reload may take too long. Plus, as long range it's difficult to be accurate with RF, and burst firing an SMG usually takes too long as it takes 5 bullets. Having the quicker ADS time from SoH Pro is a big help too. How much of a difference does Grip actually make?
You even use the same emblem I do ;-) I'm not quite the same skill level though, 1.9 K/D overall and usually between 2-2.5 weekly. Maybe someday...
Ghost and an unsilenced weapon seems ... uhhh ... lets go with "counter-intuitive," to me.
lol
its more about gaps in my displacement from sound to sound, you can hear where i shoot, but if i relocate quickly you really cant trace that, i can cover large gaps of ground without an enemy knowing, i can also slightly adjust locations during a multiple enemy firefight without giving them the chance to lead my next peeked corner, etc
though if i had a second attachment without sacrificing sleight of hand, id probably use a silencer

You'd be suprised.
It gives me an advantage to get to a spot without being lit up with a big red fuck me arrow over my head. Then fire off some shots and cheese it out of there and I'm gone again.
Only time its a disadvantage is if your camping in one spot or grab an over watch location.
Also Glithert the person who put the guy into second chance might have left the game. At least thats my theory.

Crazy theory time... what if he put the guy into Second Chance himself, got killed, then rounded a corner and finished him off without realizing it was the same guy?

There anything special I should do to add the [PA] tag?
One tip as stated is when we are running as a group change it to something different so we don't have a bunch of PA tags.
Granted when you enter a room with 6-9 people a lot of people will quit but the matching tags tend to make people just leave as they are under the impression that we are an organized group.
It still boggles my mind how little we actually talk about things ingame and still win, its just randomly "Hes on B" or "A guy went over there". Its also quite funny when we run into a group with the same tag and curb stomp them, I'm talking to you crack domination 200-63 win
In other news t-minus one hour till I'm home and killing mans.

I gotta say, last night was the first time I was able to join a bunch of y'all in game. It was glorious to play with people who consistently knew what to do. I look forward to later tonight when I get off work and can hopefully join people again and kill more mans.

You can use my friendslist as a good jumping point to get into PA games, normally if you check it and see a PA person on it you'll end up in a group of them.

Also, yeah, don't send me voice or text messages.
Because I will never listen to/read them.
Also also, if you want to join us, we don't usually wait for other people to finish their game, unless they are in our party chat and are like "Gimmie 30sec, I'm flying my heuy 'round moping up some pubbies" You pretty much have to be willing to leave any game in p[rogress the second we send out an invite, or you will probably miss us.
Edit: these apply to everyone. Not trying to be a dick to you.
I dunno I think sometimes when I run with the PA group we have trouble with some of the other teams out there. Not sure how we can fix it since we kinda just depend on everyone to be better than the enemy player.

Instead I'm going to leave early to go to Best Buy to get a point card (using a gift cert/have no money til Thursday) to get the map pack. Then I can go home to play.

Oh come on, guys. If it were that simple I would have figured it out. I joined the game halfway through, he was the first guy I shot at. So iRevert is probably right.
I dunno I think sometimes when I run with the PA group we have trouble with some of the other teams out there. Not sure how we can fix it since we kinda just depend on everyone to be better than the enemy player.
I don't think that's the case. I mean, yeah, sometimes you come upon a team that's just great, and half of the PA guys go out of their way to not be try-hards, but when we all put on our Fuck You Hats, we can really do some damage. Last week we got beat by a group of dudes and decided "fuck this, we're going to fuck shit up from here on out," and we absolutely did just that. I mean, we won a domination game on Havana where we never flipped the spawn, and never let them cap (or even threaten) our two points. And we did it again after that, and again, and again. We steamrolled every comer for at least an hour or two. Most of the time, though, yeah... it's just everyone running around doing their own thing (and flipping spawns/three capping) with no rhyme or reason or semblance of organization.
TL;DR - Stop flipping the goddamn spawns, and stop three capping.

Yeah, I'm usually annoyed when playing by myself (or one of my pals one of which is average the other is alright but rages hard (even when it's just me doing better than him)) and when I lose to a clan I really just get annoyed at everyone else on my team giving those guys points because, more often than not, they're just cheap and campy and are easily beatable.

Since I've prestiged I've actually been doing better. Pro perks are for tryhards.
