thanks for the advice on here, it's all very good. I never knew how to use the radar and I worked on it last night and got my highest score of 8 kills and only 5 times getting killed. That's good for me. My problem is that once I see a enemy I need to shoot, I get too excited and start shooting and I miss him, while he just takes 1 shot and kills me.
Practice on small servers, not huge nade spam fests
Aim at upper chest
Keep ping below 200
Don't snipe
That's it. Learning to aim is the difference between going 1 and 20 or going 26 and 11. Little things like looking behind you, learning when to sprint, using surround sound and so forth are for smaller gains when you get better. But to reverse your kill and death count, you need to learn to aim.
Something else to consider is whether you play aggressive or cautiously. An aggressive style plays faster but more reckless, getting kills/deaths that are close in line, like 22 and 19. A cautious person that doesn't fly around corners sprinting can get a great KDR like 22 and 3, but I find the slow play style boring.
Best thing CoD4 has is the death cam. Use it, love it, learn from it. See how you die and both try to prevent that situation from occuring and try to do what other people do. It takes a long time to ramp up from a noob to a compe ive player. I just play casually now-a-days.
Oh yeah, another thing is learn how your opponent plays. One thing that always gets people in trouble is martydom. Learn whom likes to use this perk and so when you do make an assault on the opponent who does, you can avoid becoming a victim of the martydom.
Teamwork is highly underutilized in the FPS. It is harder to take down a tandem or a party of 3 than it is to take down a lone wolf. Communication can be essential when dealing with say, clearing a building or attacking a certain area. I've put up 12 10 3 games (10 assists) and feel like I've contributed to a dominating victory. It also helps get more prolific shooters you may party play with off.
Just go out and get some practice between now and 11/10/09...
Normally, I make it a point not to brag about anything I do, because I usually am humbled with a pretty average score by days end.
That said, this was just so ridiculous I had to post it. I achieved this at 1:30 pm today.
The worst part is, my team barely won the map, and I went 77 and 22 for the duration.
Is that the server you suggested?
Good comp there?
If so, nice ing score.
I'm UncleFertrelli if you see me on there
what does Ping mean?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping
Refers to network latency.
Yeah, that's the server.
It's a nice score, but the best players are on later in the day. These are by no means horrible players, but not the best. Still, the speed with which I got to 47 kills was kind of surprising.
What's the max score available on PC version, Havoc? On xbox live its 750 ONLY and I average 20-25 kills. We should team up one day on something common we both have on the same platform. Ever been in any leagues? From what it seems, I'd bet we'd have some killer strats and plenty of aiming to go with em. maybe some cs source, as I've read you played quite a bit of cs in your day.
there's nothing i want more than someone local who I could team up with and start another team (i'm assuming your in SA). I've been on sponsored (by lan center) teams and have advanced in multiple Counter-strike/call of duty leagues as to my info. I've mainly been a CS kinda guy and I just made the jump to source since I got a new PC less than 2 weeks ago. I'm a little rusty and newbie to the source engine, but I'm averaging about 2:1 thus far.
i'm not an incredibly fat, childish loser either, in case that matters, though i do smoke some pot.

Actually I only play PC. I suck on consoles. And I'm from Illinois.
i was definitely meaning PC as I don't own a ps3, but if you're in illinois it really doesn't help me much.
we can still own some people in source if you want to.
Same. I feel handicapped with a controller instead of mouse+keyboard.

I was a CS guy for 5 years. I never found the conversion from PC to console difficult.
the mouse and keyboard definitely give you way more control. It's not just aiming and moving easier, it's all the other buttons placed conveniently close and easily remappable into something worthwhile. That said, nowadays the difference is not that huge IMO. The main problem with analog sticks is the extremes - moving targets at a distance, enemies within 5 feet, and small cracks to shoot through. It's just not sensitive enough to cover these areas, besides the fact an analog stick moves only so far while a mouse'll be above the keyboard and if you get surprised and need to turn quickly. In this same vein, you can use multiple fingers with a keyboard, while holding a controllers generally limits it to your thumbs and forefingers by design. I just don't see how could pull off certain moves with a controller that a keyboard and mouse lend themselves easily to.
In games like Oblivion though, the difference is negligible, and in many games, a controller is probably better. Fighting games, for instance.

ping pong type idea. imagine hitting a ball to the server, and the server bouncing it back. The amount of time for the ball to complete this exchange is your ping.
For example, you round a corner at the exact same time someone else does on CoD 4. If you both see each other and shoot at each other's heads at the exact same time, who gets the kill? He will if he has the lower ping, because technically, he saw you first and shot first since he's pinging the server quicker than you are.
ping isn't that big a deal right now, but as you get better and better you'll want to look for lower pinging servers. It vastly affects how well you can shoot people and how much of an advantage you can get on them when in equal conditions. Example: you have two players of equal skill level spraying fullauto at each other with AK-47's. One player has a ping of 10 and the other has a ping of 110. 10 ping will undoubtedly get more shots - and hits - in during the same amount of time, regardless if both were shooting at eachother over the same stretch of time. It just takes more time for 110 ping's shots to actually happen.
You should also check out Global Hawks server. They run an open warfare mod of CoD4 that supplies new maps and new ranks (up to 75). The server is now running 60+ maps in a random order rotation and is currently ranked in the top 5% of CoD4 servers.
216 - 86 - 144 - 205
28930
that is waaaay too advanced to me. I'm a pretty basic kind of guy. It took me awhile to learn how to use both joysticks. I went the life of a PS2 without ever using a joystick on it.
Guy with 110 ping will just lag through the autofire. Advantages vs disadvantages, IMO.
I disagree. 110 ping isn't awfully high, maybe UK player in a central USA server. Unless they are experiencing high packet loss (i believe), it'd be very odd for a 10 ping to not have 99% of his shots register regardless of who it is. They're just too close to the server. If 110 ping is moving in 10 foot bursts across the map, yeah okay but I dunno if I've ever seen someone with that low of ping have that kind of loss.
try to join games that arent campfests. team deathmatch unfortunately has become everyone go to a snipe spot and the middle is deserted. i hate crossfire so much cause everyone just snipes. try domination and hope you have teamates determined to help not stay in the back and snipe. cook frags and when the russian dude says "losing bravo" spam B with grenades
Crossfire is my favorite map. All I do is snipe on just about every map, so it's good to know that I'm pissing people off as much as I think I am. Also, I routinely, routinely, routinely lead my teams in kills, while using a sniper rifle, so if you ever see me on your team, best hope that I hang back to snipe the guys who are about to knife your back.
I love the CoD sniper hate. Because everybody knows its the hardest skillset to master, so even though its the most powerful way to play, people who can't do it, can't call it noobish.
In conclusion, sniping FTMFW!!!
Yeah i got no problem with sniping, it's a dimension of every FPS. I probably have less the 20 of my 350000+ kills with the sniper, though.
If you got a beef with a sniper, rush his ass and knife him or lob a grenade in his face.
i only became a sniper to counter all the people who stay back and get them. i like to run and gun snipe not just stay in some tower in the back. maybe its just me but some people would rather get kills in the back than help out and capture points. if all you want is kills play TD. if not then be ready to play well as a team.
i must add hardcore headquarters on shipment is amazing. the only problem is having 2 min respawns due to the friendly fire
