[quote name='primetime']I don't want to pose myself as an expert of any sort, but I seem to be having pretty good success online to this point.
Mostly it just comes from thinking tactically and being sensitive to what's going on in the game. If you're dying a lot, focus on just being a good teammate and providing support to others. I know that what I outlined isn't something I can really describe, but I'm usually thinking throughout the entire game. What has the other team been consistently doing? How can I counter that? Do I have all my angles covered? (I find that closing doors helps me a lot) Are there usually guys down this hallway?
Just actively thinking and questioning yourself will probably help a lot. Other than that, it usually helps to take it slow, pause and take cover before heading down a dangerous route, and using short bursts in firefights (even going to single shot if a long range map like some spots in Trainyard or Vegas Junkyard). Be careful when you reload, I usually reload with about 14-16 bullets left. If you notice an opponent is reloading, especially the shotty guys, then jump them. Also, when you're in a super close range 1-on-1 battle, don't empty your clip.
Another fun way to get a few cheap kills is to go Sam Fisher on them. When a team is camping your spawn point or a certain spot on the map, try to sneak behind them, attach the silencer, and go to town on em
I think the shooting aspect is secondary to being tactical, but quick reflexes don't hurt. You can practice with lone wolf THunts.
Finally, focus on playing on a certain map until you get to know it well enough (you can also do THunts). Play item restricted matches if nades are getting on your nerves. My gun is the M8 with a reflex scope, but lots of people use the SCAR, FAMAS, and M468.
I saw you were on last night-my bad for not playing with you, but I had to do something when I logged on.[/quote]
I'm currently playing deathmatch, so I try to hide out in a room for a minute or two. If no one pops in I move around and repeat. I'm not having a problem getting killed by a grenade. It's that people are finding me before I find them. I'm used to the Villa map so I do pretty good on that one. I think my main problem is that I'm playing it like I would COD4 or UT3: just finding someone as quick as I can to kill them, and not really taking my time with it. I guess I just need practice.
Oh yeah, how does the laser scope work? I see other people online using it but when I equip it I see no laser. It seems like it would help too. Do I need to hit a certain button or something to use it?
Send me an invite whenever you feel like it if you're up for some games.
