PS - how do you get a 20+ streak on shipment?

I can barely get a 3 kill streak/


get 5 kills easily (hide in the grass....people don't expect it) , call in air support on Flag B. Then call in Heli 🙂 most of the folks for some reason like to sit around B. rinse and repeat, if you're lucky


finally got 24 yesterday on Pipeline. woohoo

Any tips for someone who does well to break .500 on a match?

It may be a problem with your style of play. If you run and gun, you're going to get smoked. The M-16 is the most popular gun in the game, and it can pick off people at long distances very easily. Be aware of your surroundings and use cover to conceal your movements. I try to stay around the edges of the maps to limit the directions I can be attacked from. And make sure you aim when you fire (using the left trigger). Shooting from the hip sucks. If you find yourself getting shot first a lot, use Juggernaut instead of Stopping Power. Stopping power won't help you when you're dead. 😉 Having good eyes helps.

I always used the M-16, but have since started using the AK-47 and that gun is badass. Doesn't quite have the range, but it has GOOD range and its much more effective in close quarters due to full auto.

I haven't played COD4 in over a week due to Mass Effect. I need to get back to it before R6:V2 comes out.

I get bored with waiting for people to come to me. I grab the M60 and run around shooting at everything I see. I'll have to try the juggernaut perk. Haven't done that one yet.

Either way, I have lots of fun, even when I'm dying. 🙂

72 on Ambush.

I was on the Marine side, as a sniper in the upstairs room on the side of the map. I was well hidden, but the retards that were up there with me (team deathmatch) did not hide and kept getting killed themselves. Gave me lots of extra ammo for the barrett. Did not die at all that match.

What game mode were you playing?

Shipment is my worst map to play on. I'm terrible on dark maps like that even with the nightvision. I'll be lucky if I go over .500 on those.

Are you sure that you mean shipment? Shipment really isn't dark. It's the really small map.

Wet Works maybe? It's the one on the boat that is dark.

Lol, yeah that's it.. Wet Works. I dont know why I was thinking shipment there.... lol

Speaking of shipment, I exclusively played Team Deathmatch until yesterday I started Domination. I played shipment for the first time and that map is ridiculous.

I've started using the G36c a lot, but I just started my first prestige so I'm stuck with the M-16 again.

That's what it's all about. I've stopped caring about my K/D and have been focusing on having fun.

He says team deathmatch... but he'd have had to get 72 kills while his teammates had a combined total of 3 kills...

I didn't see that. He must have the 7 and 2 mixed up or shenstastic.

Do the PC games have more custom settings, like more kills to win the game? Maybe they can set a higher time limit and bump of the max score to 1500 or so. Maybe he is confused. I dunno if I have heard of anyone doing that yet.
 
28 is my highest streak. Went 33-4 on Crash using a G36C. My previous highest was 27, when I went 27-0 on Wet Works with a silenced MP5. Other team deathmatch notables:

57-13 on bog
41-2 on bog
33-3 on overgrown
25-0 on overgrown

113-30 on Shipment playing HQ with a .30. Shipment has to be the worst map out there.
 
23? In the beta it was something ridiculous like 36, but that was because it always chose me for host even though I lagged. I'm glad they fixed it; I felt like a cheater and stopped playing once I realized it.
