Headquarters generally screws up my K/D too, so I tend to do a couple of games of HD and then a couple Team Deatmatch to bring it back up again.

you guys are going to hate me for this but this game sucks. im really hoping its because i havent played any games for a while and i just have to get used to it. the controls are junk though. i go to jump over an obstacle and it takes about 12 tries before the games sees what im trying to do. i refuse to do singleplayer until i can do that obstacle course in under 30 seconds, which is next to impossible, i watched youtube videos on how they do it and their guy runs faster than the bullets they fire while my guy runs like he is carrying 400 extra pounds of equipment. the multiplayer is so many steps down from cod 4 its not even funny. in cod 4 everybody got at least a chance to get good. in this travesty of a game everybody knows the hiding spots but me and when i actually find a guy to shoot someone shoves an ac130 down my throat. i have yet to get a killstreak of even 2 yet i have deathstreaks so embarrassing i do not care to share them with you. and i thought aiming through your barrel was supposed to be faster. anyone with a positive k2d ratio, any hints or tips you can give me?

[Scar Symmetry]

If you think it sucks then don't play it

Though I get the feeling you're saying it sucks because you suck at it, know what I mean?

I'm sure once you've learnt the ins and the outs you'll be loving the game

That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard for not liking a game that just came out 2 days ago.

Today I bought a xbox live gold membership to get ready for MW2. It's the first time I've been on XBL playing COD MW for over a year and all I can say is how amazingly crap I am, considering I wasn't too bad when it first came out. my first match was 7K's 13 D's which pretty much sucks, after 4 more matches i was back up to a reasonable 18K's 7 D's. All you gotta do is give it time man, just because people might know they're way around the map it doesn't mean your not gonna get used to the map too, it'll just take time.

Game doesn't suck, it just takes a bit to get used to teh minor changes (they aren't big, theres just a lot of them). Granted, it is a lot more difficult online than MW1 IMO, but once you get to grips with it, its fine.

My brother was saying he didn't like the online, yet he'd only played 1 match Took me a few games to get into it, but now I'm getting back into it my k/d ratio is better than it was on COD4.

Just give it time.

Just looked it up, apparently all you get for prestiging is titles, emblems and challenges.

once i finally unlocked domination it got much better, i still have more deaths than kills and i still cant get a 3 kill streak for anything but its getting much better. the controls are not garbage, but the games reaction to the is. if i try to jump through a window, its a free kill for anyone who sees me. like where it says press x to jump, im a dead man.

Is this the first time you've played a first person shooter?

Yeah man no offence but it sounds like its more you finding the game difficult than the game being crap

[Scar Symmetry]

Damn... I got up to 1.24 but I think I must be having bullet lag because I've barely got a kill in the last 10 games and it's gone back down to 1.21

Just a little fun fact for everyone.

not my first time on an fps but my ex sold my cod 4 about a year ago and i havent played one since. im saving the single player for when i dont have internet because i heard it can be beat in around 5 hours, that obstacle course still bugs the ever living piss out of me. how people can do that in 19 seconds is astonishing and why they decided to make doing it in under 30 seconds a lousy bronze trophy is a joke. but i need it for a platinum trophy. one last thing Scar, 1.21 k2d? im rocking a .41 if you tell me how in the world you do that i will pay megan fox to sleep with you. seriously share some tactics

[MikeH]

Just with everything else ever, practice. You'll get the hang of it eventually. My K2D was like .25 when I first started playing COD4. Now it's roughly a 1.1. Just always be aware of your surroundings. Especially with the bigger levels now on MW2. Not to mention try unlocking all of the achievments on your guns. It helps a ton.

[ToniS]

My KD ratio is over 1.50 (on PC though, if that matters). There ain't no leaderboards on the PC, so I just divided my kills with my deaths, that's the way you count it, right?

Best killstreak: 21 (and I only camp if I need to defend a bomb or something)

Matt, did you ever add me to XBL? My gamertag is RavelCore, what is yours?

Gonna buy the game for the 360 soon so I can play it with you guys aswell

1) The game has only been out since Tuesday, that means as of today that's FOUR days people could have been playing before you. If you're claiming people were magically able to find every nook and cranny of the multiplayer game and they're winning because of that, you're nuts.

2) It honestly sounds to me like you're either not that great at FPS games or that you're frustrated because your reaction time is bad. 90% of this game is aim and reaction time, seriously. If someone pops out of nowhere (which happens a lot), if you're slow to shoot you're usually dead.

3) Claiming "everyone got a chance to get good in COD4" is kinda lame as that game has been out for a few years and everyone had to adjust to that game when it first came out too. Just like any other game, there is a learning curve to the controls, strategies and weapons... you just need to put in the time and pick it up. Don't get frustrated with it and assume it's crap. I've been playing since Tuesday and can honestly say (aside from frustrating random noob kills and campers) that COD MW2 multiplayer is one of the best FPS games so far.

4) Firing from your hip (i.e. NOT looking down the barrel) is faster, but less accurate. Aiming down the barrel will increase your accuracy but you also turn/move slower too so depending on the gun you're using and how closely you're able to aim BEFORE you look down the barrel will determine how quickly you're going to die. That and if the other team sticks together... I've had perfect aim and taken out two guys in a row many times (got the double-down emblem in the 2nd day ) but if another guy is hiding to the side I usually get snagged by him. Just how it goes.

When you shoot, aim for the chest or the head. Even though that's a joke, seriously... it will get you kills. Just have to learn the firing arc of your guns.

I thought I did, I'll double-check when I get home tonight. I was REALLY sick with the flu from last Friday until Wednesday night so my head is just starting to clear up finally! If you're not on there already I'll add you tonight!

It's 1.24 now but ok

1. Make sure you shoot before your enemy does

2. Don't play in games where you have lag and the enemy doesn't

3. Move while you shoot, but keeping the ironsight on the enemy, that way every bullet you shoot hits your enemy, but because you are moving it's a lot harder for your enemy to hit you

4. Stay low when moving and if you have to stop, conceal yourself completely

5. Classes and perks are everything. I personally use a SCAR-H with Bling and Ninja on, but experiment to see what works for you and stick with it, classes are the most important thing in Multiplayer

Practise these things and be a COD master, you shall be

This.

Also, make sure you hide whenever you get prone, because you can't see shit and you'll be easy to pick off.

Stay away from wide flat areas because you'll get picked off by snipers, so try and go indoors to get where you want.

Don't sprint everywhere, it takes a bit longer to raise your weapon so you'll get ....ed if you run into someone.

Don't be afraid to camp, but don't stay in the same place for too long. Your enemy will clock onto you eventually, plus it gets boring.

If you play xbox, add me as Fear Signal, and I'll take some of the heat off you and we can play a few games

[gambit]

Ah damn


And you earn the ability to unlock a new killstreak every few ranks, but you can only have 3 selected of the ones you've unlocked, so I'd unlock the early ones to start with.

Yeah, I did it with 2 handguns, it's actually easier than using one handgun and an assualt rifle. People say 'using 2 handguns' to impress you but really it makes it easier

19 seconds is ridiculous though.
