Just got back into online gaming after a long break. All my friends have been playin CoD:Modern Warfare, but I am at such a low level...I just hurt whichever team I'm on. Any ideas on how I can quickly beef my charachter up without everyone hating me?

Well, even if you beef your character up your probably still gonna suck. Or do you mean just to get better weapons?

Hide back and snipe,camp,or use your teammates as bodyguards. By that i mean stay back and give them cover. If they die retreat.

Use the M16 or AK47. Instead of bodyguards, this might be a bit harsh, but use them as meatbags, or sacrifices. If you follow along behind them and they get killed, you may find out the position of the enemy and in turn get a kill, getting you closer to better weapons.

I recommend a different tactic: Just jump in at the deep end. Run around, shoot anybody you can (that's on the other team mind you), and just improve naturally. You will get the hang of it in no time. Good luck! :)

Honestly, the trick is merely knowing your way around the maps. The more you play and become familiar with spawn points, high traffic areas and common sniper positions, you will naturally adapt.

I recommend you dont play games with levels. Basically the longer youve played the game better youll be and that is not freindly.

Well if he wants the quickest way to level, besides Search and Destroy, this could be it. For him, his teammate dies, and the enemy dies, and he gets the kill, therefore more exp, and therefore better guns as he levels. And that's only if he's following a teammate, which often doesn't happen in the standard TDM.

I reccomend sticking to Team deathmatch, as more experienced people tend to go to the other playlists, particularly search and destroy. Secondly, get out of the mindset that it actually matters whether you win or lose, COD 4 is not a great team game, so you're pretty much exclusively rewarded based on your own performances. Chances are, if your team is doing bad, it's not exclusively your fault, as I have gotten 20+ kill streaks one match, and it has been a walkover, then struggled to get a UAV the next match as I came up against some tough opposition. COD 4 does have this 'Snowball effect' whereby one man doing good makes the team better as they end other team's kill streaks, while getting their own and helping the team.

Tactics wise, I reccomend you experiment, Use a variety of guns and find one that suits you, give snipers a bit of time, they take some getting used to. Also,watch Killcams, you may see enemies killing you from interesting places, which you can then use yourself. Follow the team, and they'll lead you in the right direction and give you some cover. You naturally get better ovr time, so don't worry too much about it. Just have fun and you'll do fine, the great thing asbout COD 4 is, that no matter how bad you think you are, there is always someone worse :D
