Mornin' all, in this thread I will try and show you how to raise your K/D (Kill to Death ratio) by improving your strategies and tacties whilst playing online whilst giving you some custom classes to use/think about.

First off, i'll tell you a few things about myself. I wouldn't really call myself a 'noticed' member of the NextGenUpdate community, I post threads, comment, but nothing more than that. I play on is the PS3 and i've been playing the Call Of Duty series since Cod4. My K/D on Black Ops is currently 2.33, and you may say to me, "You're not an expert, why would you know what to do?" and other phrases along those lines. My reply is simply, I'm not a pro, but these are tips and classes which i've picked up over the years, they won't make you better instantly, but with practice they will help.

Weapons

Ok, let's start off with the Weapons, this, without doubt is the most important thing in the game, without a weapon you're dead. One thing which is different from the other COD series are the maps. They're a lot more built up, ranging from objects to hide behind to buildings. We're going to want to pick a gun which has a significant amount of manoeuvrability but which has a decent amount of firepower. In my opinion the guns that you are going to want to look at are:

• AK-47u - Very good movement wise, good rate of fire, but recoil varies (can be countered by using the grip attachment).
  

• Galil - Very 'solid' gun, high power. It has a high rate of fire for an assault gun, but this can be countered by using the extended mags.
  

• Famas - A massive improvement from Modern Warfare 2, it's now fully auto, and with the RDS, can be very effective.
  

• Commando - My favourite gun, high power, not much recoil, the reloading is a bit strange and takes a while but this can be countered by using dual mags and/or SOH.
  

• AK-47 - High power, but a lot of recoil, (I suggest using this gun is small bursts to lower the recoil).
  

The list of guns, are my favourite so far, please don't flame, it's in my opinion and I haven't used all of the guns to a degreed vary yet!

Secondary Weapons

I don't exactly have a lot to say in this section. My tips for you would be, don't always rely on your secondary, try to switch it for a primary weapon as soon as you can. Most of the pistols are rubbish. DON'T USE THE SPECIALS. They are a huge risk, and luck must be on your side. I would say use either:

• M1911 with extended mags
  

• CZ75 with the fully automatic attachment.
  

Attachments

Without a doubt, I have a few things to say when it comes to the attachments of your weapon. The most important of all, has to be the surpressor. Many people rely of the radar and a single red 'blip' can send people coming to investigate. I would say that using a silencer should be at the top of your list in attachements. If you're not worried about showing up on the minimap and you're looking for other effective attachments, I recommend using either the dual mags or extended mags. I say this because, if let's say you run into a room full of 3 people and your accuracy isn't great, having more bullets to fire at them without reloading is always a great thing!

• AK-47u with rapid fire and grip.
  

• Galil with extended mags.
  

• Famas with silencer.
  

• Commando with dual mags.
  

• AK-47 with silencer.
  

Perks

As stopping power was removed in Black Ops, it gives us more chance to try out the different perks given to us. In this thread, I am looking at how you can improve your K/D meaning we have to die less. A simple way for this to happen is to use the 'Ghost' perk. It leaves you off of the radar when a UAV is called in. 'Ghost pro' removes the red triangle away from you when an enemy calls in a chopper gunner and stops killstreaks from killing you. One other way is to use 'Flak Jacket', this reduces explosive power which can stop you from dying if faced against a claymore. 'Hardline', this makes killstreaks takes 1 less kill to gain, this will improve your kills...hopefully.

Slot 2 will have to go to either 'Warlord' - so that you can have more than 1 attachment, this can be VERY useful. Not everybody likes 'Steady Aim' but it can be VERY useful is you find yourself running into an enemy and not finding the time to zoom in. By using 'Steady Aim', firing from the hip is more accurate and the bullets don't tend to be so wild. Sleight Of Hand, can be increadibly useful at times, especially if you need to quickly spray and reload.

For me I only use 'Marathon' for slot 3, that or 'Ninja', Using 'Marathon' using me more time to sprint, instead of slowly lolling around. 'Ninja' is a very useful perk, as it cuts of the sneaky people who have spent money on getting a good headset.

• AK-47u with rapid fire and grip, S1 - Flak Jacket, S2 - Warlord, S3 - Marathon. Sec. M1911 ext. mags.
  

• Galil with extended mags, S1 - Ghost, S2 - Sleight Of Hand, S3 - Marathon. M1911 ext. mags.
  

• Famas with silencer, S1 - Ghost, S2 - Steady Aim, S3 - Ninja. Sec. CZ75 silencer.
  

• Commando with dual mags, S1 - Flak Jacket, S2 - Steady Aim, S3 - Marathon. M1911 ext. mags.
  

• AK-47 with silencer, S1 - Ghost, S2 - Hardline, S3 - Marathon. Sec. CZ75 silencer.
  

Equipment

Like Modern Warfare 2, it is almost essential to use the claymore. You can put it in a doorway KNOWING that you'll kill someone without 'Flak Jacket'. Even it doesn't kill them, it will most likely hurt them and this explosive can serve you by telling you that someone is close by.

Lethal

With the choice of using a, frag, semtex and tomahawk I would definately use the semtex. It has reasonable firepower along with a short fuse.

Tactical

My favourite tactical equipment have to be the nova gas along with the decoy. The nova gas disorientates the foe along with damaging them. The decoy can act as a ...decoy and get you out of a tough situation as a lot of people depend on the minimap.

Killstreaks

Here are a few killstreaks that I use.

#3 - UAV, #8 - Blackbird and #11 - Dogs

#5 - Napalm strike, #6 - Mortar strike and #9 - Chopper gunner.

Top Tips

My top tips to sum of this thread would be...

1. Use silencers, when you fire you don't get put on the minimap!

2. Anylysis the situation, don't take this seriously and spend 5 minutes looking at a building. But instead if there is a red 'blip' the likelyhood is that there'll be someone in that building.

3. Don't rush, if you want to build up a killstreak, rushing the enemy will always get you a few kills, but you'll end up being killed by a camper.

4. Use your equipment. If you suspect that there is somebody in a building use your equipment, throw your nova gas as well as your semtex.

5. Find the sensitivity that suits you, play a few games trying out different sensitivities, often higher ones help.

6. Try a different controller setting. By changing to the 'tactical' setting, crouch and knife change positions, this can lead to you dropshotting. This tactic can often lead to an enemy's line of fire being put off in a 1v1.

7. If you find yourself suddenly playing badly, try having a break. Get some mates together and play football. Try to give your eyes a rest.

8. Practice, practice and practice. The better people at this game, have propably played FPS games for years. This is the only tip which I have that covers for everybody.

9. Stick to the shadows, don't run out like a lunatic down the most obvious route, stick to the corners of the map and try and flank the enemy. Becareful, other people try the tactic as well.

10. Have fun. Yes it is said hundreds of times, cliche after cliche. Don't kid yourself, try and play the gamemodes which you enjoy as well as gamemodes which rack up lots of kills.

Thanks for feedback, + more stuff has been added.
