I was up there yesterday and got many kills. I literally ran out of ammo for my sniper rifle and pistol while I was up there. You are really exposed, but no one looks that high up, so I was picking people off left and right.
I saw a guy show that spot on you tube once so I look up there all the time... it's fun picking off the guys walking across the arm of the crane. I think you can actually jump from the crane to the building and get onto a ledge that overlooks inside one of the buildings.

I finally reached lvl 40 and unlocked the M16. I love this gun... Even with only iron sights I went 24 - 7 and won my game.

I was the same way when I got it. It has increased my kill count substantially.

LOL keep practicing. I felt the same up till about two weeks ago (I've had the game for a couple of months)... now I feel like I'm just mediocre

Its funny how inconsistent I can be... I feel like the flames. Some nights I come out and dominate, winning every other game and absolutely pwning guys. Then other nights I get destroyed. It also seems to help having a healthy buzz going, which you wouldn't expect.

For the first time ever really I think I had a decent game last night. Ended up with 14 kills or so and only 4 deaths.

It was a ground war domination game and I found a place to defend point B when I came across an enemy just sitting behind a box. I stuck him with a semtex just to be a dick and then camped out and pegged off at least 10 people with another guy.

That was enough for the night for me.

I just Prestiged for the first time today, and boy, do I miss my AK-47 and my Desert Eagle.

I've got a new found appreciation for the Intervention now, though. I used to be a big Barrett guy when I sniped, but the Intervention is quickly winning me over. The M4A1 is another gun I am finding myself enjoying more the second time around... probably because I never really spent any time with these guns before.

It would be nice if my Care Package would give me something better than a UAV or Ammo though!

Why is the Intervention better than the Barret? I tried both and the Intervention is a better looking gun, but the Barret is semi-automatic... and if they are identical in stats wouldn't that be better?

Less recoil on the Intervention makes it way easier to double-tap a guy, or quickly switch to someone else (I think)

The Intervention is bolt-action, so the delay between shots is pretty nasty, especially without Sleight of Hand as a perk. It's the only non-semi auto rifle of all of the sniper rifles, but the one advantage it seems to have, (but I'm not an expert on this,) is that it's damage fall off, or perhaps lack therof, is vastly superior to other guns. The bullets just keep travelling and hit hard.

It's definitely the type of gun where you have to make your shots count, though.

Technically in the real world a bolt action rifle will be more accurate than a semi auto rifle.

I use the m21 rifle becuase it has no recoil and its accurate.

I find the Barrett easier to quick-scope on the normal sight while I find it easier to thermal on the Intervention. But overall, I just use the Intervention for sexyness.

Went 78-1 on Headquarters, no nukes, went pred missile, harrier and CG.

14-4? n00b.

If I get Derail or Wasteland (on Domination), I am guaranteed to have a K/D ratio over 10. Chill at B, snipe with my thermal to get 5 kills, Predator, Harrier, Chopper Gunner, over.

All I play is Big Team Battle now and camp with my thermal barrett.

All I do is run around with a Scar and noob-tube. I don't get as many streaks as I used to (camp with FAMAS) but I get more kills, I tend to have a decent k/d as well, right now it's 1.41.

right now I'm just trying to use my Intervention with Thermal scope. It's a lot of fun but I die way more than I kill.

Finally got the stinger. It's so nice to be able to remove the choppers and harriers from play.

After I started leveling I started playing with the guys in Prestige and my K/D ratio took a massive dive from 1.34 to 1.21. I am finally crawling my way back and have it up to 1.25.

I have totally changed my tactics again. It took a dive because I was running around too much. I now employ more of a camp-n00btube/2 rangers, tactic. It is super cheap, but I do well with it so I could care less.

I always hated the big maps, but now I love them because I just snipe with the thermal, get my predator missile, harrier, CG, and I rack up kills like there's no tomorrow.

Big Team Battle for the win as well. Playing against 9 people really helps getting the streaks going when you camp (like I always do playing BTB). As soon as I get my 5 kills, I basically get my CG instantly, and then I rack up the kills. CG is so beast!

What are all these terms you talk of Justin? What's a CG? What's Big Team Battle? I haven't seen it, is it only open to prestige? Or is it the same as team deathmatch?

CG = Helicopter Gunner - I think it's an 11-kill streak. You're a gunner on a helicopter that flies around the map for 30 sec



Big Team Battle: I think that refers to the "Ground War" game mode. It's a rotation between Domination (team hold and secure 3 flags to gain points) and Team Deathmatch but the player limit is set on 18 instead of 12. The game I play the most
