Call of Duty Kill/Death Ratio and how to improve it. KD in MW
95
In games like Call of Duty: Black OPS and Modern Warfare 2, a player is only considered decent or good if they have a solid K/D (Kill/Death Ratio). What does this mean? Well to put it right out there, your K/D ration shows how many kills you have to deaths through out your Call of Duty: Black OPS/Modern Warfare 2 career, other players can see this on your player card and can use it to to determine a strategy against you.
Now this is not saying that because you have a KDR or 10/15 that you are a horrible player, all that means is that you get about 10 kills per map and die 15 times. It could also mean that you are not a hardcore player and enjoy playing the game for fun due to it being a game. There are a lot of players who don't care about their Kill/Death Ratio at all, but there are even more who do and they also care about what other have. Some players looking for a clan might wonder why they got denied and that could be due to your ratio being to low or not 'elite' enough to join.
Kill/Death Ratio will also have an effect on your experience points during a game, meaning the more deaths you have the less points you get and the slower you will rank up. Playing games such as Team Deathmatch you will want to keep your deaths lower than your kills as this impacts your teams wins. A higher Kill rate will also earn you more XP, better COD cash in Black OPS and will help you to earn a spot in the top three.
Any player can become a hardcore killer with a really low Death rate in Call of Duty, it takes practice, patience and learning. You can improve your Kill/Death Ratio by learning from others as well, watching videos, reading articles, practicing. If you have friends who are really good at the game ask them for advice and pointers.
One nice advantage for when Call of Duty: Elite is released this fall with Modern Warfare 3, players will be able to re-think mistakes and see where they can improve. With the Introduction of the new modern warfare 3 multiplayer mode faceoff keeping a good kill/death ratio is going to take more effort. Since faceoff involves small teams 1vs1, 2vs2 players will need to rethink the whole run and gun tactic. As said through out this hub aiming down the sites is going to help players more than anything in faceoff.
Improvement takes time
- Free-for-All makes a good mode to improve on as well, since you are playing against everyone you can get a better feel for what is going on.
- Practice sniping and finding the best locations to shoot from. This will give you an advantage in not only improving your Kill/Death Ratio but also in improving your sniping and head shot skills.
- Learn your weapons, know which is better for what maps.
- Create your classes for your skill level, learn the ins and outs of your perks and how to utilize them for each map and game mode.
- Game modes such as Dropzone in MW3 can hurt your K/D a little
How can I Improve?
With Call of Duty: Black OPS one good way of learning how to improve you Kill/Death Ratio would be from watching your latest games in the Theater, check out the videos from past game plays on maps you seem to be having an issue with. This will give you an inside direct look at the mistakes you made and what you could do differently.
Players can also take advantage of the Training Simulation for Call of Duty: Black OPS and play against AI which seems to play like your friends. Practice, practice, practice and never let it get to you or the game will become like work.
Studying the weapons that you have can help improve your Kill/Death Ratio as well, if you get to know the weapons you will be able to in return get more kills. Improvement does not come over night and it does take time to do; but you do have to be serious about it if that is the change you want to make.
Once you get your K/D Ratio up you will have to keep it up as it can drop once you start losing more. Champion players are not created over night it takes practice and a ton of dedication to improve your rating and keeping it up.
With the release of call of duty: modern warfare 3 using call of duty: elite in conjunction with mw3 to learn the maps and find the best possible locations will not only give you an up on getting in those kills but will also allow you to have a better chance at raising your kill/death ratio. You can also utilize the elite services improve section that will give you tips and tricks on how to use each weapon to the best of it's ability. I have found that with the improve section of elite I have been able to learn the maps a lot more and get in those precise kills that have been needed and through all this, I have found myself with the final kill multiple times.
One thing that is introduced in call of duty modern warfare 3 is the addition of weapon proficiencies which can help your weapon in combat. One of the most used proficiencies is kick and that is because it is received early for weapons and can reduce the jumping around. This used together with ADS will allow players to build on a tactic that they can use to perform a large amount of kills.
My Headshots are low
If a player wants to improve on heads shots to unlock more weapon attachments, the biggest thing to remember is to scope and aim for the head. More weapons have either a red dot or a scope take a second to fix your shot before shooting. Just remember you don't have a lot of time to target so you will need to get the hang of quick aiming which will help to increase your accuracy along with giving you a knowledge of headshots before hand. Running and gunning with your eyes on the map will allow you to notice your targets before you get to them.
If you are a sniper it is a little easier to improve since you are not running and gunning you are mainly sitting and camping. Aim for the head and hold your breath and shoot, if you miss the head try again with another target. Players should always remember that a good head shot takes a second but if you are close to another player don't take the chance. Headshots also help improve your K/D Ratio as they give you a quick kill with one shot saving on ammo.
In Modern Warfare 3 one of the better sniper weapons to use is the RSASS due to it being automatic and also taking only two shots to kill your opponent. It is still a good idea to try and aim down the sites to get that headshot and try not to take anymore shots that normal to keep your accuracy level. Also if you are looking to improve your kill rate a good mode to do this on is hardcore team deathmatch due to the one shot kill with most weapons. Depending on the map you can easily get off a good amount of headshots and increase your k/d along with keeping your accuracy at a good point.
Accuracy
With your Kill/Death ratio also comes a nice little stat called accuracy this is used to determine how many shots you have taken in a match and how many actually hit your target. Your accuracy does not really effect your K/D but it does have tell you how many rounds you shot and this means if it takes an entire clip from a P90 to kill a target you are not aiming or hitting the target at all. Most weapons should only take a few round to take someone down. If you are looking to improve your accuracy than it would be best to aim down the sites and grab your targets as they approach your location.
Stat Reset
For those who wish to and just can't seem to improve their k/d once you reach 10th prestige and you have an extra prestige token laying around you can go into the prestige shop in the barracks and reset your stats to 0, allowing you to start out fresh with all those nice stats giving you a clean kill/death ratio and allowing you to keep it at a decent percentage. Just remember you can only do this once and when and if you choose to, you should keep your k/d at a percentage you are happy with.
Kills compared to Deaths
Something else that will effect your kill/death ratio is the amount of games you have played in along with the amount of deaths and kills you have gotten. For some players who have a really death count against them getting their K/D higher is going to take a lot of time and a lot more kills to do. If you have lets say 6000 deaths and only 3000 kills you will need to raise your kill count to almost 9000 in order to bring your K/D above 1.0.
I would like to point out that even though it is fun and will help you get a lot of points, DropZone is not a good idea to play if you are trying to improve your kill/death ratio due to the fact that at each dropzone there is a ton of killing and I have seen a lot of great players go negative due to this. If you are determined to raise the amount of kills you get in the game you should also make sure to watch the radar and don't get caught in an ambush of the sorts where you kill and enemy and get killed. Exchanging a kill for a death will not do you any good, as I have learned sometimes the best actions to take is to kill a target, move to another location near where you killed the target and wait a minute while looking at your radar. This will help you stay in a location to watch and in turn perhaps get another kill on your previous enemy.
If you are still not sure about the kill death numbers always remember;
- A kill/death ratio of 1.0 means that you get one kill for every one death which is ok for beginners and noobies to the game. This is also a good stat to have if you are looking to join a good clan. Though you might also hear that a k/d of 1.25 is average that varies between players and clans.
- A kill/death ratio of 2.0 means you get at least two kills per everyone death. This is the average K/D of players who play the game a lot, know the maps, the weapons, spawn points and have a vast knowledge of call of duty.
- A kill/death ratio under 1.0 means that you die more than you get kills and that requires time to increase. There are a lot of players out there who have a low K/D but those are also the players who play the game for more fun than anything.
- You also have a stat called win percentage which means how often you win in the games that you play. This is also another stat that doesn't have a reflection on your kill/death ratio but shows the percentage of wins you have. The higher your win percentage, the better you are according to most players in a game. This also doesn't mean that if it is low you are not a decent player, you might just have been dropped into a match on a team that doesn't work well together.
With all the stats involved in a game one can get lost in trying to understand it all, though some stats don't reflect on your kill/death ratio is does impact how you are playing the games. A high k/d and a low win percentage holds only in the amount of games you played in as stated above.
Some Tips
When you are looking to increase an already low kill/death ratio there are some things you should take into mind.
- Choosing the right game mode- this is important as if you are not familiar with a certain game mode (IE: kill confirmed) you wont really play the game to your full potential and that could get you a lot more kills than deaths. Looking around youtube or even cod: elite to find information on modes and studying them is a good way to help improve your stats.
- Party Up With Friends- If you get into a game and don't know anyone sometimes you will find that there is no communication among players. This could be a bad thing in games such as tdm, tdm-kc etc. If you are in a party with friends you can communicate among one another and work as a team.
- Choosing the Right Class- If you know the maps and the gamemodes well enough you should be able to create-a-class that will work best for each mode. If you are on a small map you will want to use some type of shotgun class to as they do a lot of damage and smaller maps usually consist of close combat fighting.
- DropZone- If you are playing dropzone and want to keep your k/d up than you will not want to rush for the smoke. Stick it out in a location near the smoke and take out enemy targets as they move into to capture the area. Try to get multiple kills right away before getting killed as this gamemode is hectic and extremely fast paced.
- Recognize and learn the radar- This can be a pain at times but a lot of players wonder how they get killed before they even get near a target. This is because the other player knows how to use his radar and watches for movement and dots. Remember everytime you shoot you appear on the radar as a red target, you also appear as a red dot when someone has a UAV up or a triangle with advanced UAV. If you can move while looking at your radar you will get in multiple kills before you die.

Final Thoughts
Kill/Death Ratio can hold an impact on your reputation in the Call of Duty community as many players are heavy into the whole "WOW, you shouldn't play the game because you have more deaths than kills" , if you let this get to you then you will only become frustrated and that will take away the fun from the game. If you are serious about improving your KDR you can do it using the tools that are there for you and become a better killer in the game.
If after trying everything at your disposal and your KDR is still low, the next best thing to try is weapon diversity. Take a weapon that you have a good streak with and use that one on a few maps. Something else that players should take in mind when building up their KDR is to make sure you know the weapons well, use the weapon that you feel most comfortable with and customize it to your liking and feel. For me I like the ACR as my weapon of choice, I have used it through my prestige levels and customize it how I like. This is also a great gun to have in any map size due to the ease of ADS movement.
The last thing I would like to say is learn the maps and which maps you have the best streaks on, this will tell you what maps to vote for and keep up your ratio.

No problem thanks for the comment. K/D is something that I always try to improve on, though I don't always manage to keep it that good. It shifts for me up and down more or less, but that is also because I like to run and gun a lot more than just camp.
Hey ghostwolfe,
My KD is 1.38 and i want to know how to get to the more elite kd's like 2.5 to 3 i dont have a turtle beach so i know i can improve there and also my kd with the galil is 1.69 but i prefer to use more fun guns such as the L96 and the skorpion as the game is meant to be fun are there any other tips you can give for me?
cheers James
Thank you for the comment James, about raising your K/D higher first I would suggest using some sort of tactic like perhaps run and gun for example, but know the map. If you know the key locations to a map you can get around it faster. Also go for headshots as it only takes one shot and you don't have to worry about your target ducking if you pop off their head. I myself prefer the Galil and the Commando as they are superior weapons with good accuracy and not a lot of bounce when you shoot them.
Thanks For your help
i think i might take cod a bit more seriously in mw3 and try and get a Kd over 2. I also hope they have guns in MW3 that are more fun to use but are good eg Tar 21 and ump45 so i can keep a solid KD while having fun! Thanks for your help again Ghostwolfe.
Cheers
PS my gamertag is Jimmy A10 if you have a xbox although if i dont accept for a while dont worry because my xbox is being repaired
Thanks
Yeah I have an Xbox gamertag, it's Ghostwolfe 13 thats my new one.
Great stuff Ghostwolfe, very helpful!!! I have my own Hub on how to become a better black ops player and I still learned so much from your article its unbelievable. My gaming is progressing and this will help me so much. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!!!
Loved the page Ghostwolfe, I'm currently playing mw3 and my K/D is sooo low! It's 0.55! I have around 400 odd deaths and around 200 odd kills. I'm a pretty bad player... but oh well. I'm just trying to learn how to get good from you and from friends. I've added you on xbox by the way. My Gamertag is iRizzer (: and.. yes I am a girl.. but not all girls are so bad. :D
lol , my K/D is a .69 . when ever i play i am on the top 2 or 3 players on the board for team death match and free for all 90% of the time . i am a run and gunner about 95% of the time. i hate camping it's no fun . realy i dont think anyone should say if anyone is good or not by there K/D . i like like to stay in the heart of the map at all times also .
@Kurt Most people look at K/D as a way of showing how good someone is. If you ever notice usually the player with the lowest K/D is the one who is always under constant gunfire.Though I do understand what you are saying and for me I play COD for the fun of it, but with MW3 K/D does hold a decent standing with your XP as well. Thanks for the comment.
Yes you are spot on with your comment about being under fire at high percent of the time . I play black ops for the most part . I do play MW2 sometimes. Lol I am a running gunner that is always under fire.
@Kurt, Yeah in Black OPS I am a mad crazy run and gunner. I actually prefer it since OPS is just one of those games that allows for the fast paced running and gunning. Though in MW3, running and gunning with a tactic is whats been doing good for me.
Thanks for your great advice my kd right now sucks(.80) but I'm sure this will help. I've been trying for a little while. And previously I'm becoming more patient. And have been getting lots and lots of positive matches
Thanks kurt, I have a few things to add. Learning maps is absolutely crucial as you will quickly learn where the choke points are. Try to stick with one gun to get used to it, changing classes everytime you die doesn't curb the death streaks. Another good thing to remember is ' silent classes are your friend' the amount of times I've caught enemies napping because they were too fixated on the radar is incredible. My kd is over 2 after 2 prestiges
@Noname thank you for the comment and especially in mw3 patience is a virtue.
@FriendlyHelp, thank you for the comment and you have a good point, a silent class is a good strategy and can get you a lot of good wins.
@ friendly help . I know the maps really well . I am a run and gunner with tactic and patience. I only use 2 different classes in witch they are the same for the most part other than the guns . I stick to a class per map . What I do find weird is that my all time K/D is a 1.69 or so , monthly is a lot higher as well . Why is it that my combat record is a .70 K/D. ?
@Kurt, thank you for commenting, reading your comment and from what you have said what is your accuracy? Wins, losses and kills compared to deaths over all? All that plays into your K/D, even with a high enough k/d all time if you have a low accuracy and more wins than losses on your record you will see that your K/d will remain low. One thing I tested on another account was getting killed multiple times until I had 20 deaths and zero kills, than I played a game where it took me a bit but I got total of 60 kills between multiple games and only fired a limited a mount of shots to keep my accuracy good, my K/d went up a little but not to much.
So with all the factors being weighed in on the game you have to consider everything that has an impact on your stats.
Oops I meant to thank you for the original post ghost.
@kurt, your combat level, i presume, is your overall kd ratio? No doubt when you first started on mw3 you were achieving a not so desirable kd; and its only as you started to level and gain familiarity with the game that you started to improve your overall kd drastically.
I think in terms of running and gunning, this is one aspect of the game. Very useful to be a run and gunner on maps like dome, arcadian etc. However don't employ tactics to suit the maps. Employ these tactics to suit the game (enemies, allies) what are they doing? If you're the only one on your team running and gunning, you're gonna get eaten alive. Maintaining a balance of running and gunning and patient picking off of enemies to suit each game will net you the best results =)
I am talking about black ops , I don't have MW3 yet . I am not a running gunner that just go's crazy all over the map . I will stay around 1/3 of the map that seems to be busy then move on to another part of the map if it calms down . I do find myself trying to think what my opposing players tactic is as well as mine . I will have to see what my over all wins are . I bet they are not all that great do to the fact that I am not on a clan or play with anyone I know . Friends of mine have Xbox as I have PS3. I do play with two kids I met on black ops from time to time. They have asked me why my K.D is what it is. I just tell them IDK.
@gostwolf,
Hummm , when you talk about my accuracy that's a good question . I used to use rapid fire with the 74U gun on maps that I should not have for so so long range maps . That set up was crap for mid to long range maps. It was great when I was face to face cuz it was spraying bullets at my opposing player lol. I would miss a lot with that class.
@Kurt, Your accuracy is determined by how many bullets hit and how many miss. Other than that accuracy plays mainly out in your total.
im highest prestige on cod 4,waw,mw2,blk ops.
im 13th prestige on mw3 my k/d is 1.23
for overall score im 8200 ranked in world.
i have over 60 thousand kills and around 11 thousand more kills than deaths yet ratio is still at 1.23.
im ranked 796th in the world for hardcore kill confirmed.
played in 2 call of duty premium lone wolf competitions i finished 62nd in 1 and second competition i was 254th out of 8560 odd players got gold badges both times for being in top 10 percent.
k/d ratio means nothing at all and is in no way accurate to judge a player or how good they are at the game only people with high k/d ratios are campers and this is well known and tells other people you sit in corners or lie in the grass and wait on people running past.
if you play any objective based game modes like cap the flag,domination,headquarters,search and destroy and the rest you will die a fair few times if you are playing properly and trying to take objectives rather than hiding in corners.
virtually every game i play on mw3 im top of lobby for over 8 to 10 games in a row im ranked 24 thousand in world for overall kills. and 12346th for wins
i have a 1.23 k/d
but ill guarantee i can defeat most teams and players and win every game.
im so tired of little noobs constantly going on about how k/d means something in a game
for example the guy sits in corner of map i finish the game 33 kills 19 deaths and come top in lobby the guy has 11 kills 2 deaths and comes bottom of lobby yet according to him hes better than me because i died more.
k/d is for people who camp and anyone with a high k/d who says they dont camp is a liar
Thank you for the Comment @Dog Soldier UK, but I would have to disagree with you because I know people that have high K/D and they are run and gunners, camping does not improve your k/d because you still have to get more kills in a game than deaths. If you are camping in the same spot over and over, eventually you are going to become the target of other players that know your there.
I have seen it done many of times, campers die more often than they let on, but for 80% of players a good k/d means more than just a number, the more kills you have the more points you get, the more points you get the better your rank becomes. If you are looking to prestige and get to the top of the rank in less then a year, you have to have a good kill/death ratio so that you are getting the max amount of points in order to move up those ranks.
Something else I would like to point out, this is not a judging contest against anyone, it is just a way to help those players improve on something that they find a part of the game.
I also disagree with dog soldier, being a high rank in any cod game means nothing, only that you've played it longer than me. I've only prestiged a few times and it doesn't bother me, my ratio is 2.64 atm which I feel is a more impressive stat than what prestige I am. I played a game last night and got 22-1, and I would say that's a better score than some 14th prestige who gets 30 kills but dies 23 times. I may not get as many points as some players, but I also don't give the other team a quarter of their required points. Yes I camp on some maps but it ain't boring, I think its great when I have the entire enemy team hunting me down while I pop them off with my silenced and acog scope mk14. Find it hilarious when the "cannon fodder" forms up in a lovely bottleneck for me to mow down. After all, a sniper is more valuable to the military because they can kill several targets before being noticed, as opposed to the front line troops who are constantly under fire and are more likely to get killed.
Thank you for the Comment TastiesDarren and yes I would have to say that your 22-1 K/D in a game is extremely impressive and does look better than a prestiger. The fact that a player who is sniping is going to have more kills if they know what they are doing compared to the run and gunner who is shooting everything that moves.
I'm not trying to take anything away from anyone else, and we should only play the way it suits us, I just don't like to be abused for using my head and not jumping into the meat grinder
@TastiesDarren Yeah I have to agree with you as with many matches I have played in MW3 I have been called everything from a camper to a cheater because I used my head and played smart. Now I am no camper, I mostly run and gun but I have also learned that it is smart to lay low for a minute to understand where your targets are. I have told many people in my old clan that the US Marines don't just run around and shoot everything in sight, they use smarts, tactics and work as a team. Playing smart is only going to help you get better and improve your K/D in many ways.
Exactly, I get no end of messages calling me camper and whatever else. I don't consider it camping, I consider it strategic placement. The way I see it, if you know where a camper is, but every time you get near him he kills you. The solution, don't go near him. Best way to "eliminate" a camper is to not go where he wants you to go. Do that and you'll give the camper one hell of a boring game as he won't have anything to shoot at. I admit I have had a couple of games where I've not died at all, but only got 1 or 2 kills and it can get boring. But the headless chickens that think if they keep throwing themselves at the camper they'll get him need to realise that the AS50 (my sniper of choice) when coupled with extended mags, starts a game with more than 20 bullets. Now to a crack shot, that's more than 20 kills before he runs out of ammo,
TastiestDarren is my XBLGT if anyone wants to add me and play a few games with me
@Dog Soldier UK, I've seen your elite page and congratulations on being 15th prestige now :/
But I also noticed you played a game on arkaden and got 19 kills, I too played a game on arkaden last night and got 18 kills. However, I didn't die once, you got killed 30 times. Does that still mean you're better than me because you got one extra kill? I wouldn't say so. And as for your remark about "ill guarentee I can defeat most twmas and players and win every game" why is your win ratio only 50% whereas mine is 63%. The ranking system in cod is flawed, not since halo 3 has a ranking system truly reflected a player's skill level. All your 15th prestige shows is that you have too much free time
Nice article! I think my ratio is alright... But i could improve lol! :)
i totally agree with tastiestdarren... i play mw3 on the ps3, i have a kd of 3.05 in ffa and 2.85 in td, approx 2.95 overall with over 20,000 kills. sometimes i run and gun sometimes i hold up an area, sometimes i do both. i 2 love killing the fools that keep running into my trap but also get the same pleasure from running around like a crazed madman. theres a big difference between a noob camper who waits in a corner 4 some unlucky trooper 2 run past and sum1 who controls an area. its very hard 2 stay in 1 area an not get killed so i definitly respect a high kd over a high prestige. doesnt take skill 2 finish 30 30 cos u jus run round with an rpg or sumthing. takes skill 2 read a match and adapt 2 do whatever it takes 2 get the most kills whilst getting the least deaths. i would take a15 0 over a 30 20 anyday, jus common sense if u ask me. add me on ps3 an il gladly help any1 improve kd. fight against the haters, every1 entitled 2 play there own style. in my experience people only get nasty when theyve jus had there asses handed 2 them on a plate lol. 1 guy hate msged me cos i used the fmgs lol gimme a break
btw brill article ghostwolfe. always nice 2 c sum1 who just wants 2 help. do u hav a psn account?
Tbank you Aneesa 786 and Rorschach3004 for the comments as for the PSN Account, right now I need to get a new ps3 so I mainly play on the xbox 360.
Thank you rorschach. Good to know there are others with sense lol
I agree with rorschach regarding the players only sending abusive messages when they've receieved a battering. I've found that when I receive a message calling me a "camping pr**k" or saying "you only beat me cuz [insert pathetic excuse here]", what it means is "i hate that you did better than me"
@TastiestDarren the one thing that most cod players can't stand is being beat, no one likes to be the last on the board or the one who gets killed the most. MW3 especially is not a game that many play for fun, the competition in modern warfare 3 is higher than in any other cod game due to elite and being top and having a great k/d. I have seen friends lose in multiple games and complain the whole time about losing k/d. One thing to do if you get these types of messages is to report them and block them.
I agree that the competitiveness of mw3 is higher than most games. And I understand that people don't like losing, I hate it myself, but I'd never stoop to sending someone an abusive message just cuz I lost. Cuz I know that all I'll get in reply from them is a lol or some other way of winding me up more. I know this because its what I do to people who abuse me, if they start it its game on. It's all banter anyway and I'd never report or block someone for the sake of a few messages. After all, an abusive message is just simply a compliment in disguise. If I've got someone so annoyed they've taken the time to write me a message, it must mean I got a brilliant score and beat most players in that game
One thing that is nice is when you do get those abusive message and you deal with them in game, that is always fun. Normally me I take to the one who has sent the message and make them my target the whole game, no matter what I make sure that I kill them multiple times so I show up as their enemy on elite. Most people that also send out these messages are jealous of your score and how many kills you actually got compared to deaths which seems to get under the skin of even the best of players.
I totally agree with you. These lads try to put me down with insults. Well, i end up coming first on the leaderboard so WAY!! :D
Yeah to many people try to bad mouth the good players Aneesa786, but the ones who usually insult don't have the skills to hold out.
My thoughts exactly
You can just call me Aneesa lol! :) And they can't play to save their lives hahaha. BAM!
Lol, @Aneesa yeah tell me about it. Complaining and hating on those who actually play the game with skill and tactics. My clan recently played in one of the elite clan ops and got a lot of hatemail for that one, but it was not biggie, it was ignored and we had fun while keeping our deaths low and kills high.
Kill Confirmed and Infected for the win! Using a M4A1 Silenced or AK-47, spraying bullets everywhere... 30 kills and 10 deaths lol! :D
@Aneesa Nice....Very nice
Ikr! Hahah.. Have you got a PS3? or are you a Xbox fan?
heh, I am a fan of both, I like both systems as they both have a nice amount of games and exclusives, though my ps3 died on me so right now I mainly play on xbox until I get a new ps3.
THE YELLOW LIGHT OF DEATH? :O THE HORROR! LOL!
Heh, not exactly I had my ps3 for about four years and it was just it's time I think.
I've had my PS3 since it launched... :)Longggg...
Great article and tips Ghostwolfe i just play the game for fun. I don't know why some people care about their K/D ratio its only a game. Just recently i played againsted a clan called KUSH and my team won. I went 33-11 and the clan i beat went negative then they start complainting that i cheated because my K/D is 1.55 and they said that its impossible for me to get it then after that the next game they just camp for the whole game and i went 20-23. i dont do good against a team who just camps the whole game. After that they said that how my k/d should look like and then they left. Not to lied i played mw3 for a long while so i know who is going where how to react to changes during a match. i use to play like someone who just try to get as much kills as possible before dying then i started to think that this game is based on warfare so you have to play like your in a warzone and try not to get killed and think tactical. After that i been getting high kills and low deaths. i still get complaints about me boosting and cheating because my k/d in every game is higher then my 1.55 in my stats. some people think that no one can beat them and when someone does they think that person cheated. i guess some people don't know how to take a loss. If there any adivce you can give me at will be very greatful
Thank you for the comment Farseer I would have to say that a K/d of 1.55 is not impossible to have, since for example my brother has a k/d of 2.64 and he plays the game with a tactical skill, no cheating and always gets the most kills that he can. You are also correct that adjusting to the game environment is only going to help you improve and the more kills you gain before you die the first time is always going to work to your benefit.
The only real advice I can give you is to keep getting in the most amount of kills before your first death and try and keep the kills higher. Use tactics like your map to view targets locations, put a UAV in your strike package as this will benefit you a lot on location. Avoid heading in the same direction that you have been killed by a camper and try a new route to their location. Avoid taking a turn that might have enemies near. Learn the map and the spawn locations this can benefit you more than you can imagine because if team A is spawning near the back of the map you can work out a strategy to get around that spawn. Study your recordeed games for mistakes and improve on those mistakes this will help you to see where you have done bad and what you can do better. Play on the maps that you are weakest at to learn them and study the enemies tactics learn from them.
Hope that helps, if you need anything else feel free to ask.
My KD is 3.27 and win ratio 3.
I play cod for 6 years now and when I started it 6 years ago my KD was horrible (like 0.8 or something like that).
So you see it's just the more you practice the better you get.
Thank you for the comment XDlaurensL WD, you are also correct practice makes any player better.
Hi Guys,
I've been playing COD for a while and I'm proper rubbish, I nearly always finish in the bottom 3 of my team. I usually play domination or free for all. A couple of questions if I may:
How do I choose a map? I'm always given 2 options, and if I don't like the map (I hate some of them) I can't change it. I'd like to play the same map several times to get better at it on each one, but I don't know how I could do this.
Also, sometimes it seems I empty a whole machine gun into an enemy's body and I don't get them. How can I improve on that front? (like I said, I'm rubbish at the moment)
Thank you for the comment VividerDruid, if you are looking to get to know maps a little better you could always jump into a solo game of spec-ops survival or set up a private match and explore the map. I do this myself in order to learn maps before I play them. This helps me to get to know the maps, get to learn where the possibilities of campers will be hiding and also gives me a chance to set up a tactical plan for that map.
As for playing the same map multiple times, most of the time you are limited to two plays on a single map before it is removed from the list for a while.
sounds to me like you have to improve your accuracy and aim down the sights a little more. The more you shoot and miss the lower your accuracy will be and if you accuracy is low your k/d is going to be low. I would suggest spec-ops mode as a tester and practice with weapons you already know but only aim down the sights at your targets. I suggest spec ops mode because it is a good way to learn things using the AI as your training. If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask.
how would someone go about helping his team to form a plan for games and help everyone have their part in the team and not just run around and die separately?
any help would be appreciated.
"We can stand together or fall separately"
Thank you for the comment, pretty much what one would need to do is get a group of people together that they know how to play with and practice together to understand how each other plays. Than you would want to work out tactics with people to plot out what positions everyone would play and keep to that plan. Something else if you are just playing in random games with teams than you should communicate with the other players and tell them were someone is camping, tell them were the sniper is hiding.
thanks
One good tip is to use stalker as your 3rd perk. This allows you to move at a normal pace whilst aiming down sights. This is helpful when strafing or following an enemy. Also a good gun for upping your accuracy is the ACR, or if you haven't unlocked that then the SCAR with kick and a silencer makes for a formidable combination. Of course that's my opinion and there will be others who oppose the use of silencers but its down to you to make the choice that suits you. All I can offer the advice of what weapons I used in the earlier stages. I now have a KD of 2.73, a win rate of 65% and an accuracy of 28-29%. Although that is overall and takes into account my very innaccurate smg firing lol. My weapon of choice is MK14 and I have an accuracy of 40+%
Thanks for the commebnt Vivider , I usually spend a prestige token on unlocking the ACR as it is a good gun and easy to handle with a little kick already. Good advice for anyone.
Woops lol, that comment about using stalker was from me lol. Put who I was leaving the comment for in the name bit lol. It was meant as advice for VividerDruid from me lol. I'm not with it today at all lmao
my kd is 1.08 on black ops i want to improve my kd ratio my psn account is haqeem_789 prestige 11 on bo
Thank you for the comment Haqeem you have a good K/D already but nothing wrong with improving.
alot of people call me a camper they swear at me send me dirty messages and all sorts my kd was originaly 1.20 but i tried to get hacker pro thats when things went down hill for me mainly i use hardline pro, sleight of hand pro and marathon pro.
Thank you for the comment Haqeem you know I look at it like this, no matter your play style people are always going to complain. If you are a sniper you are called a camper, but do real snipers get called campers for doing what they were trained for? Waiting for the shot and hiding. Do soldiers rush into battle and run all over the place No, they sit in wait for the chance to take the kill. You seem like a good player, don't let that get to you and just think about this, if you getting the kills and getting compalints, its coming from players who don't know how to play.
thanks gohstwolfe i realy appriciate it. I mainly run right in the middle of the battle field i dnt care if there are peole camping i run streight in and get them. Thatr the way i play
i was smashing this prestige 15 on summit then at the end of the match he started to swear at me over his mic. Then the stage was villa yet again i smashed the prestige 15 guy he started to swear at me again so i ignored him
VividerDruid bro try using different weapons with different perks E.G i use AK74U with rapid fire attachment with a python with no attachments and the perks that i use are hardline pro, sleight of hand pro and marathon pro this class always works for me try it bro it might also work for you
If that works for you the better, its a tactic. I run and gun and a few maps and take my time on others.
That is always fun taking the high or max prestigers to the bank.
i love to smash the higher prestigers i find it fun lol alot of them get pissed off
gohstwolfe wen u geting ur ps3 again also do u no hw optic predator no scopes from 1 side to the other side without aiming thats awsome
I have been thinking about getting another PS3 over the summer, as for no scoping it takes a lot of practice to get it right. I have only no scoped twice and that was pure luck.
if you do get another ps3 add me haqeem_789 ok
Alright, I am under KreedGhost on PSN. I still have my account there so when am back up and running on playstation network I will hit you up.
me and my m8z have started a clanand we are recruiting players for our clan but our clan is a quick scoping clan only so you have to be a realy good quick scoper to join our clan. Ghostwolfe can you quick scope?
Thanks for the comment Haqeem and I have quicked scoped before but do not practice it.
does that mean that your not going to join our clan
No I just said I don't activly practice no scoping
My KD Is 0.647 But I out SCORE Most People In The Hq Lobby Score.I Get May Be 22 OR 25 Kills And 20-22 Deaths In Ever Match What Am I Doin Wrong?
Thank you for the comment Eradicate. From what you are saying you are averaging out about 2kills per 2deaths Which pretty much is averaging you out low. If you are running and gunning you should watch your hud a little more and drop a UAV every chance you get. To get a better location on enemies. Are you doing HQ captures and getting killed while holding down the HQ?
Yes I Capture Hq over 350 Times I Destory Hq 315 Times In Im Always The 1st To Die As Soon As I Get Hq Im Not Good With Gun Fights I Am More Of A One Man Army When It Comes To Sniping Other Players It Makes Me Laugh When They Get Piss Off In Yell In Curse In The BackGround But Thanx 4 Your Advice
Ohh I 4Got To Mention The Reason My Kd Is So Low Is Because My Team Mates Are Too Scare To Get Hq The Take They Slow Time While I Run In An Try My Best To Be The Hero WHich It Work Sometimes
If others don't want to capture and you are the only one capturing then you need to try and figure out something because this is a problem when you get a good amount of kills it appears that you are losing the kills because of the amount of kills you are getting it with in HQ.
if u are a run gunner like me watch ur back. Always turn around and see if anyone is following you. Try ak74u with rapid fire, python with speed reloder, frag, flashbang and claymnre with hardline pro, sleight of hand pro and marathon pro. That is my fav class try it and see if u like it
