Do you keep getting killed in Call of Duty games? Want to grab those enemies and get amazing score streaks? Want to get 20+ kills on a team death match game? Then this is the article for you!

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Using Equipment Properly

Download Article

  1. 1

    Combat training is useful. You'll improve your skill at the game while learning the maps. If you're new to CoD, then it's recommended to start from here.

  2. 2

    Utilize everything at your disposal. This is especially important about equipment. If you average 1.00 K/D, an extra kill per death through claymores will put you at 2.00.

  3. 3

    Use the gun that suits you best. People might give you a hard time for it, but you'll have the advantage.

  4. 4

    Run UAV Jammer or UAV. Both of these kill streaks are underused, but can give you a massive advantage. It's recommended to use Jammer over UAV, because it will give you an advantage.

  5. 5

    Don't use red dot sights. Learning to use the iron sights can be a real pain, but it is most definitely worth it. Take an attachment like Dual Mag, Grip or Masterkey to really get the advantage. (Although using red dot can be useful if the weapon takes up quite a bit of screen space.)

  6. 6

    Sound is your friend. If you have a pair of gaming headphones, you'll realize what this means. You'll hear someone shooting at you and can react before they even hit you sometimes.

  7. 7

    Find your play style. Find out what you are good at. If you're quick on your feet it's recommended for a sub-machine gun class. If your more of a patient player, use an assault rifle or LMG. If you are good at camping, try to use bouncing bettys or claymores, and maybe a sniper rifle.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:

Using Agility and Fighting Skills

Download Article

  1. 1

    Find a comfortable sensitivity. 2-3 sensitivity it gives you better accuracy than higher sensitivity, but if you get shot from a place other than in front of you, you might not be able to react in time. If you use a higher sensitivity, you will be able to turn faster, giving you an advantage, but your accuracy might go down as well.

  2. 2

    Don't sprint around corners. So many people do this without thinking. Take your time and go round the corner already aiming down sights. You'll gain a massive advantage. If in doubt, then chuck a flashbang or a concussion grenade.

  3. 3

    Practice aiming. Practice one on one with a person of similar skill level, or higher if you want. Practice against them in a large map. Switch between this and normal play every couple game sessions. You will get much better at aiming.

  4. 4

    Shoot down choppers. If your using Ghost Pro, you can really help out your team by taking out a chopper without much self-risk. Keep a class slot free just to take down all choppers.

Method 3

Method 3 of 3:

Getting to Know the Maps

Download Article

  1. 1

    Become familiar with the terrain. Knowing the different maps inside and out can really help if you're playing modes other than team deathmatch.

  2. 2

    Pay attention to spawning points. Knowing the maps can help you get kills by always knowing where the enemies are spawning.

  3. 3

    Use maps to your advantage in Hardpoint mode. Another example where map knowledge can help is the mode Hardpoint; knowing where the next hardpoint is allows you to rotate early and get the points, and get a jump on enemies trying to get in that might not know you're there.

    What if I'm stuck reloading with an empty magazine and I can't find a corner or any thing to protect me, what do I do?

    Community Answer

    Usually, you don't want to reload in a situation like that at all, you do have the option of using your secondary if you have one. For future reference, learn your type of reload style and adjust to how you play. Running on the edges of the map is somewhat advantageous if running out of ammo a lot, mainly because the edges have more corners to hide in, but this is when you reload frequently (e.g. after every 1 to 2 kills).

  • Question

    How can I make a certain gun (M27) with attachments such as fast mag, ACOG scope, and fore grip more effective?

    ACOG may look like a helpful sight, but the iron sight for M27 is useful because it doesn't take up room on your screen. Fast mags are good but extended mags give you more ammo, so you won't have to worry about picking up guns all the time. The M27 doesn't always require fore grip; some people prefer a red dot sight or quick draw.

    Community Answer

    Try "Search and Destroy." This will force you to play defensively and aggressively. You will gain a lot of skills all around from this mode.

      • Keep an eye on the radar.

      • Playing online with real players can be the best way to get better, because while you may think you are good against bots, players can be different.

        Thanks

      • Try not to stop firing at an enemy just because you've memorized the amount of hits it takes to kill someone. It can always change if you lag or have bad hit detection.

        Thanks

      The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.

      • Use the Tactical button layout, swapping crouch and melee. This lets you aim while crouching more easily. If on Black Ops 2, find it in the pause menu. Tactical improves dropshotting.
      • Start practicing alone against bots using the worst pistol. Spend hours with this — it dramatically builds aim and reflexes. These core skills make a huge difference.
      • Have a balanced loadout — pair sniping with a quality secondary SMG or pistol. Never stay still for long. Be ready for close and long range fights.
      • Predict enemy movements using map knowledge. If someone runs behind a truck on Prison Break, expect flanking left or right. Outsmart opponents.
      • Place sentry turrets right away when you get them. If you die, it stays to help teammates. If not, you can still reposition it. Win-win.
      • Use SitRep to see enemy equipment on your HUD. Notice a claymore? Bait enemies by shooting it, watching for their new location.

      If you’re trying to get better at Call of Duty, learn the maps and look for spawning points in game so you can get more kills. Try not to sprint around corners. Instead, take your time and go around corners already aiming down sights, which will give you a massive advantage. Additionally, keep a class shot free and shoot down choppers when you can, which will help your team without much risk to yourself. Finally, use the gun that suits you best to maximize your kills.
