Mitchell, you would be best asking these questions in the Dr Newbie thread. If possible, post some footage of your gameplay as that gives the experts a much better idea of what you're doing.

I don't have any way of recording my games so I'm in a sticky situation there .

You could look into the Dr. Newbies thread. There is a lot of advice and tips in there. see how they work out for you.

put your games in file share mitch. if you add me up on PSN i can record them for you so they can be posted up here/there

Going prone while shooting, or 'drop-shotting' as it's called doesn't seem to work too well in BloPs for some reason, it appears to take a little too long to get in position. I've had reasonable success with just crouching as it's almost instant and throws off your opponents aim whilst keeping yours trained on their body... Recoil helping out too.

My problem with laying on the ground/going prone is that I always seem to move at the wrong moment. When you move your guy stands up a little exposing more of you than you want, which usually results in taking way to much damage and/or getting killed. I generally dont use it unless im attempting to snipe.

Ok I'll take up on that kind offer banded . I'll have some games today and put one in my file share that shows my difficulties . It's the weekend where I am now so I should be able to catch some of you guys on .

I tried the Barebones Pure. Wow, apart from the quick kills, it was a lot like R:FoM. Also, I don't know if it's because I'm used to the iron sights anyway, preferring extended mags or suppressors, but it seemed most people couldn't aim in those games. Consequently, I came top in the first game and in the few I played my KD was never below 2.0. I think I'll try some more of them. Oh, and they seemed a LOT LESS laggy than regular TDM. I tried a regular TDM in the middle and the lag was terrible.

sweet. my PSN is banded1 if you havent already figured that out lol

is yours the same as youre account name here?

Okay dunno what happened. Good games Monkey.
Leo, B & Mitch, I got signed out and when I retried signing in I got the Undergoing maintenance message.

Likely prepping for the ToS change. Be over by tomorrow, I'd bet, if not sooner.

Definitely GGs today. Hit my personal TDM best of 37-1, followed up by 25-0.
That said, I feel bad because the chopper gunner seems so overpowered. At least 11 of the kills in the 37-1 game came from it. Now, as I learned the other day, it can be pretty useless if a majority of the enemy is using Ghost Pro as you can only see one or two people. But on some maps where you most often spawn out in the open and far from cover...
They could probably help this a bit by cutting down launcher lock-on times. Takes so long to shoulder and lock on that often times you'll just get mowed down long before you can fire if you get caught in a spawn kill loop.

On a different note, I think it's great that when you run out of ammo you automatically switch to your secondary weapon...Except that I use the Strela. Not very useful in the middle of a shootout, especially since you can't knife while its being readied. I'd kinda like it if that was an option you could set, or if it would simply ignore the Strela. Might as well wish for wings though.

I only had a 1 bar connection in the regular TDM.

I was waiting for someone to post about lag in the BOps thread only so I could say...

After playing KZ3 for a week or 2 now....I will NEVER b!t_h about the lag in COD again.
OMG!

BEAST.

I still cant decide if a good connection or a bad connection is an advantage or a disadvantage. For me host seems to be a blessing sometimes and at other times a curse.

In my experience, 3 bars is just about ideal. One bar is unplayable. Two is playable, but not fun. At four bars I start getting stabbed in the back by people who are in front of me.
None of that happens on 3 bars.

prestige again today and already back at lev 15 and only need 10 more
air craft to shoot down and i will ghost pro .
manged to kill a sentry gun in my third game after buying ghost sweet

i am up to 10th prestige now

Gunning for gold weapons Wadey ?

Made it to round 18 on Ascension with my friend . We were all set up , my friend had a pack'punched HK21 and a ray gun and gersch devices while I had a pack'punched thunder gun and a ray gun . We both had Jugganog and PHD Flopper . We could of gotten very far , we had a good stray also . Yet unfortunately the game disconnected us for no reason despite both of us having 4 bar connections. Twas very annoying !!!

gold guns idk i always spend most my money trying new class set up
and you stick out like a sore thumb with them but may be at the end of my
next prestige then i can say i have done it i guess .

did you try searching locally for your MP games yet and did it help your connection ?

I didn't actually play any online today , not sure about tomorrow either
No. 1 : I want to save a bit of bandwidth for the weekends
2: I really need to go and finish the last few chapters of the campaign and nab that stand down trophy bringing me to trophy level 8
I'll give it a go tomorrow , gotta do some more on my Ascension guide also , so much to do!!!!!!

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah....

*** does happy dance ***

My M16 with ACOG just got me my first set of earned dogs on WDM. Yes, that's right, I finally managed an 11-kill streak. Ended up 22-4. KS rewards: spy plane, Blackbird (that WAS useful) and Dogs.

I know some people routinely get 11 kill streaks, but for me that's a big deal.

Good job! Feels good don't it?

nice eat
