Alright guys, making a new thread to get away from the spammy/flame filled mega thread.

Tip for playing by yourself in Team Deathmatch:

Spoiler

- Make sure you know every map well. If you get stuck with bad teammates and you can't make your away through the map you might as well ragequit.

- Use a gun you're comfortable with that can easily pull off a high score of your team is falling behind. Yes this means the "OP" Famas or AuG. Helping out newer players keeps the Wii Community going.

- Use team-friendly killstreaks. I think you all know what these are. Running a Spy Plane, Napalm, and Blackbird would be a good setup because it supports you and your team.

How do you place your claymores? I'm having quite a bit of trouble knowing where to place one. I barely get any kills with them.
Only reason I got Hacker Pro was throwing C4s at enemies who were capturing flags in Domination.

Now, speaking of my ideas.

Spoiler

- I personally think the 3, 4, 8 setup (Spy Plane, Counter-Spy Plane, Blackbird) would be more team-friendly, as all three are beneficial for teams.
- Regarding T5U's comment about knowing the map, do Combat Training. It helped me learn more about the maps, the hiding spots, and more!
On other notes, here's the cast for the new Zombie map pack!

One of my favourite classes:

Spoiler

Primary: Stakeout with Grip
Secondary: Python Dual Wield/CZ75 Dual Wield/Ballistic Knife
Lethal: Semtex/Tomahawk
Tactical: Flashbang/Concussion
Equipment: Jammer/Motion Sensor
Perk 1: Scavenger Pro/Lightweight Pro
Perk 2: Steady Aim Pro
Perk 3: Tactical Mask Pro/Marathon Pro

What I use frequently:

Spoiler

Primary: Spectre with Suppressor
Secondary: Ballistic Knife
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Concussion
Equipment: Jammer/Motion Sensor (Depending on which game mode I'm playing)
Perk 1: Scavenger Pro
Perk 2: Sleight of Hand Pro
Perk 3: Marathon Pro

[T5U]

I put them at an angle..45º I think.
Same way I used them on MWR, except this time claymores will get you a kill or so this time.

The 3/4/8 IS a good idea, but if your team falls way behind and you're the only one getting killstreaks, you better have perfect aim or else you're going to lose.

@Zombie characters: Finally, a girl! :O

What I usually use nowadays:

Spoiler

Primary: AK-74u w/ Extended Mags
Secondary: Python Dual Wield
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Concussion
Equipment: Claymore
Perk 1: Flak Jacket
Perk 2: Sleight of Hand Pro
Perk 3: Marathon

or

Primary: L96A1 w/ ACOG and Extended Mags (Saw a video on TheDarthEmpire's channel, can't put this class down ever since)
Secondary: Python Dual Wield
Lethal: Tomahawk
Tactical: Concussion
Equipment: Claymore
Perk 1: Lightweight Pro
Perk 2: Warlord Pro
Perk 3: Marathon

Well,I prefer C4 but try to put the claymore in a place where people don't expect it. Like in a bush on Jungle,and if you put one around a corner try to step back a bit before you set it so people can't "outrun" it.

Anybody have any quick scoping tips? I've been using the class in my sig (L96A1 w/Extended mags and Variable scope) on pretty much every map. I've been having a lot of success so far,I went 34 kills and 6 deaths on Summit last night. My perks were Spy Plane,Black Bird,and Dogs.
Is there a better set up for quick scoping? Oh and I don't like the ACOG sight,so please don't suggest that. :p

Place Claymores in camp spots, entrances, and when you're running place one behind you just in case you feel like you're being followed but don't do this all the time. But the real key is know how to place them.



Rofl ^. But yeah, this is how I place my claymores by an entrance. Make sure its back far enough to where people won't see it and its in rage to get tripped and get a kill.

Oh yes of course there's more to quickscoping haha.
Any scope works, the only thing that can get you to be better is practice.
I can do great with everything but the silencer, but that's reasonable.

I personally do not like sniping, but that's just me. X)

I use this class for more objective-based games:
Primary: Commando with Dual Mags (Anything with Dual Mags and decent distance)
Secondary: CZ75 Dual Wield (Pulling them out is faster than other Dual Wield Pistols).
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Flashbang
Equipment: C4/Jammer
Perk 1: Hardline Pro
Perk 2: Hardened Pro
Perk 3: Tactical Mask Pro/Hacker Pro/Ninja Pro

Also, using a Jammer is very effective in objective-based games as a supporter.

Is it just me or is it easier to reach lvl 50 again once you prestige?
Every time I do it it seems easier to get to 50 again =o

It's because you're more used to the game than you were in the beginning.

Alright guys, big news and another easy class to use!
