Hello all, im Avarice. Im semi new to MW2, but new to this forum. Ive read alot of the threads posted by many pro players.
I'm at 3rd prestige, aspiring to be at the top.
I do not/have not boosted before, I play for a few hours at a time everyday.
I'm still a nub, no 2500 kills with any weapon, altho I am close with Scar-H.
I just got 250 kills with Harrier.
I'd like some pro members to help out with some tips for nubs like me.
Like, Which combination of perks and attachments with any weapon has worked best on you.
Or, which kill streaks helped you get a Chopper gunner, or for that fact a Nuke(I've only gotten a nuke 4x before, i was extremely lucky to be paired up with nubs)
Please and Thanks
Well, there are 4 combinations of perks I use for different situations.
Defensive: Scavenger - Stopping power (cold blooded if you're going for a nuke) - Ninja
Rushing - SMG: Marathon - Stopping power - Ninja
Rushing - AR: Sleight of hand - Stopping power - Ninja
Stealth: Sleight of hand - Cold blooded - Ninja
With those perks you can never go wrong. And the easiest to get a lot of kills with. If you're comfortable without stopping power then don't use it. Some people say it's not needed, but I just think I get kills a little quicker with it.
Attachments can vary, depending on the map, and what you're going for. You can never go wrong with a silencer on any gun. If you want to rush and get into a spawn use a silencer, so you can go undetected for a little while longer. If you're going to set up camp, then there is no need for a silencer, because people will know where you are anyways, so use a red dot/holographic site. FMJ and extended mags can be used for whenever you want to use them, they're both also good for rushing playstyle.
Guns are all up to opinion. I'm sure you know the most popular guns, UMP 45, Scar-H, Tar-21, ACR, M4A1, and if you have good aim the M16 or Famas. You can never go wrong with those guns.
For chopper gunners, the basic 5-7-11 is good, if you're comfortable with getting harriers first then switch the 2nd killstreak for pavelow. Nukes use 7-11-25, it's pretty basic stuff that's been said 1000's of times, and that's because it's the easiest way to get it. When getting nukes it is best to get them in lobbies that you've been in and you know how the other players play, if you're playing against people you feel you can trample on, then go for your nuke. But if the players you're playing against are actually good, just settle for 3-5-7 or 5-7-9 or something. Plus good players usually get mad and back out when they nuke so less kills for you

.
And the best tips for getting the least amount off deaths, is don't run all the time, especially around corners. Be observant, watch your back, and check corners. And the biggest cause of death IMO is returning to people who are camping, just ignore them, you'll end up dying more than you need to. Connection plays a big role in how good you can do, if you find yourself in a match with a 2 bar, I'd recommend leaving that match, because you'll find yourself getting cheated out of kills. Play with a high sensitivity, 5+ for being able to turn around quickly to shoot people behind you, and that's where a headset can come in handy, if you don't have one invest in a cheap pair of x11's, they don't make you god, but they will save you from a lot of deaths.
That's about all I can think of. If you don't watch youtube videos, you might want to check out some, there are 100s of youtube commentators who can give you some great advice. But I hope I helped.
