I also had to get used to the pc to console conversion. I also sucked @ 1st. I simply kept the sensitivity up and just practiced and practiced. I also believe ther is an anusual amount of really good players who play COD

Its going to be more difficult for you to get used to the game now than it was for everyone else when it first came out. Now, everyone is already good at the game, where as at launch we were all noobs trying to figure out what the heck was going on. You are truly an underdog in this situation. ;) Just keep trying. :)

trade it in and get the PC version xD.. but seriously, as others have said, just keep at it... don't mess with the sensitivity unless you are turning it up (helps ALOT once you get use to it)

Or you get flashed by an idiot teammate and cant run away, or you only play hardcore (like me) and your idiot teammates have martyrdom and it kills you. :)

i just dont understand how they came up with that perk. I mean really, how many people in real life actually dropped LIVE grenades (that they werent holding) when they were shot? It just doesnt make any sense.

Probably has something to do with the enemys in the single player like some enemies go into last stand and somebody drop grenades, but the way people use it online everybody seem like a bunch of suicide bombers :P

haha, now thats fun! I mean actually doing suicide bombs, when you just hold a grenade and run up to people. Now that i dont mind; i can always find humor in that, even if someone does it to me.

Like playing on a PC, your main focus is to get really good at aiming and killing with different weapons. Always make sure your aimer on the person before you press the the fire button. Also, always try to aim for the chest area. Even if you gotta do it slowly, focus on having the aimer on the body. After a while, you'll get quicker and quicker at getting the aimer on the body and shooting. The second thing you got to do is learn your radar. You should be always looking at your radar until becomes a habit.

I basically mean chest/neck area because recoil will bring it to the head.

well personally there is a difference between martydom and suicide bombing because youre still actually alive and just running up to a guy wit a live grenade in your hand and blowing both of yourselves to hell...marty happens after you die and is just annoying and a waste if you're in a big map...i see no point in it unless you're cheap

The only tip I can give you is laugh at people who take it too seriously.

These so called "guys" who can't grow a pair, all they do is whine and cry because you killed them with a P90 or a LMG :lol:

play the hell out of free for all. it really helps. when you can constantly place in the top 3, switch to team deathmatch. use the MP5 and put a RDS on it ASAP (get 25 kills with it) and then a silencer (75 kills). the most deadly weapon is the M16. can be very hard for some people to use, but deadly. hope that helped. and if you come from PC, try turning the sensitivity to insane.

Finish the single player on the hardest difficulty. If you can't aim by then you're a hopeless case. Seriously, I always play through single player to learn the game before I even think about hopping online.

The only tip I have for you is waste your time on this game. Break off any relationships you are in, and lock yourself in the basement with 2 weeks worth of food, it should improve you on many dynamics for that game. Seriously, what I did was played through the story first which made my aim and control of the weapons good and then I just played online for a long time. Good thing I put that game down, I would of been a hermit now lol.

Yea i got the gold mini uzi. It was part of a thing me and my friend were doing. See we have a 2 man clan of just us, and all we play is hardcore search and destroy...so we both got the golden uzi at the same time and just use that with the silencer. Just to kinda stick together you know? haha.

It's really your own fault if you get killed by martyrdom, it;s not too hard to avoid unless you;re prone or get stuck on a wallNuck81

I really hate when people say that. Is it my fault if I'm rushed by 2-3 guys and the first guy I kill has martyrdom and I can't sprint away since there's another person trying to kill me? What about if I run from one person's martyrdom, straight into someone else's that died by my teammate. Or maybe if I knife or kill a guy a close range that had stun grenade cooked and it's impossible or me to run away. Face it, it's a ***** perk. Whoever uses it must plan on dying a crap load during a game. Someone who was actually good that doesn't die often would have no use for it

1. Dont Sprint everywhere by doing this your most likely gonna run into someone and they'll shoot you before you can stop.
2. Aim before going round corners normally gives you an edge if someone round the corner hasnt got their sights up also.

thats all i can think of :P

1. only sprint to cover

2. make sure you get the m16 with a red dot scope as fast as you can

3. hiding in the shadows really help as peoplenever notice you

4. always keep moving especially after you kill someone

5. and always go to the hotspot because there is usually a sniper there camping (at these moments i get too excited and miss so its a safer choice to use a grenade or knife)

hope tht helps

I find it a necessity to have bandolier as your first perk. If you are on a killing spree you wont have to worry about ammunition, but that's just me:P

- Always be prepared to fight someone when they come around a corner. And like someone else said, don't run everywhere. You can't see where you're aiming when you're running.

- Knowing starting game spawn points helps a little. For instance, on overgrown the teams spawn near the wooden and brick bridges. You can always expect at least one person to run across that bridge, which is where you should be aiming with a sniper from a place other than the bridge.

- Get to know what weapon type works on each map. Overgrown is sniper, Vacant is SMG, Pipeline is Assault. Shotgun sucks on every map, but if you're going to use it, at least put steady aim on and don't aim down the sight.

- Know the hiding spots on each stage. Generally a higher spot is better. The top roofs on pipeline, the wooden house in overgrown are both good hiding spots but offer a good enough view to get kills.

Dude, this game is crack. You will get better because you will put 15+ days on this game, easy.
