Use Ghost and Silencers, as well as non-lethal killstreaks (Spy plane, Counter Spy plane, and Blackbird).

Best way is to play more Tactical. Rushing will get you blind sided from many different positions. Be more aware and move about with caution. Also, walking is better than running. Add me, KiDMaTiX. I`ll play a few games with you and we can raise it together.

Find a loadout that FITS the style you are playing. If you find yourself being blow up by grenades/explosives, use Flak Jacket. If you are running out of ammo, use Scavenger. If you like to "hunt" your enemies then use Hacker. It will usually get you about 5-10 kills in TDM just by seeing where enemies are holed up.
BE PATIENT. Running wildly around the map with no purpose will get you killed from behind 95% of the time. If someone throws up a spyplane and you only see 3 dots, there are 3 people WATCHING for you to head to those dots. This last bit of information is where all the hate of Ghost comes from. Everyone seems to think that a 2 killstreak (with hardline) should be a blackbird.
FIND A TEAM. This is probably the most important piece of the puzzle. If you can find a clan/group of friends that use their mics, and communicate well it will be VERY beneficial. Our community even has "classes" for callouts on the maps so everyone that plays knows what every building is called.

Yea, I always play objective and actually try to win. >.< That may be my problem I guess. Thanks for all that, though. Good info to know! [:

I know PLENTY of HQ and Domination players with so-so K/D's (.89-1.0) that ALWAYS come out on top of the leaderboard because of caps/defends. This is why K/D SHOULD NOT be in any objective modes. If they only used K/D for TDM then it would reflect the skill of the players. Just as using SPM for objective games would be better as well, especially if they made kills worth less points. In my opinion kills in games like Domination/HQ/CTF should only be 10 points, and defends 50. This would stop all those players who run and hide in obscure places to pad their K/D.
I have players on my friends list that have K/D's of 2.0 and higher, but their average weekly SPM in TDM is around 90. They are perfectly happy sitting back and going 6-0 in a 10 minute game. I personally have too much ADHD for that. My TDM SPM is between 190-220 weekly, and I have a 2.3 K/D ratio.

Try dashboarding whenever you're going negative. That seems to be pretty popular here in Black Ops.
On a side note, I was in a game of Dom on Array tonight with a bunch of my fellow KRAPpers. We were actually winning for a change, and then we got the familiar black screen of death and the match ended abruptly. Really? I'm not sure what's more pitiful, losing to the KRAP clan or dashboarding to keep from losing to the KRAP clan.

Flak Jacket/Tac Mask. Headglitch choke points with a G11 using 8/9/11. If that doesn't raise your k/d, nothing will.

This isn't about me obvs, but I can't use this gun at all. I'm better with a damn pistol. :/

But you're right, I'm terrible with burst weapons. Though I did do well with the Famas in MW2.

try out the m16 with an acog.. it takes a bit to get used to but once you get it down you can do really well with it.

Don't try to raise your KD just by camping in a corner with ghost with a silencer like others have stated before. It might raise it, but in the long run, you'll stay a very bad player because there's no skills involved in shooting a guy in the back while he's running by. Also, KD is nothing without a good SPM, so once again, camping in a corner with ghost will not give you a nice SPM. In a few months, you will be a lot better then if you had stayed in your corner, i can swear it. You need some gun fights practice to become good.
Some guy in this thread talked about a 2+ KD with 90 SPM in TDM and himself with 2+ KD also with 190/220 SPM... This is awfull, don'T listen a word on how this guy plays. Look, if you wanna camp, do it, but not in a corner. Use a motion sensor and camp in a high trafic area spot. You can start doing this by using ghost at the beggining(even tough i don't wanna encourage ghost). When you become better and learn the spawns, you can camp in a spot in the beginning of a game them move to the ennemy spawn where you can pick a lot of free kills again, then go back to your camping spot. I'm playing a bit like that know, with scavenger. I know it's camping, but my camping spot is half of the map just because i know the spawns. I'm 3.31 KDR with a 400 + SPM in TDM monthly/weekly 15th prestige. Like i said, high kd is **** if you don't have the SPM too. SO DO NOT CAMP IN A CORNER WITH GHOST AND A SILENCER!
Anyway, good luck

What are you talking about? There's literally hundreds of thousands of people with 200+ SPM. A 200 SPM in TDM isn't even good. I have a 300 SPM all time in TDM and I'm still ranked 173,000k overall.

OVERALL. Look at how many players are on the leaderboards. There are HOW MANY players?

^^^^^^^^ FINALLY someone gets it. It really is unbelievable just how blind some people are to the facts just how many people are on the leaderboards. Sure, 173,000 in the world sounds really low, but by the time you take away the boosters, and people doing lobby takeovers you can pretty much take away around 20,000-40,000 off that number.

I don't know of a sure fire way to raise your KD.
It really falls onto the individuals skill level and tactics.
Unless you play TDM more than 80% of the time it's a hollow statistic.
Gauging gameplay is more important in my opinion. A 2.0kd player who spends their entire rounds proned ADSing doorways is a less skillful player than 2.0kd player who runs around racking up more points.
Spreads are important. 4-2 versus 20-10 who would you want on your team?

PLEASE post gamertag. If what you say is true, then the MILLIONS of players with 125 and below SPM in TDM are awful players. There are VERY FEW people with a 200+ SPM in TDM. According to your (posted) stats you average over 40 kills per match in TDM. HMMMM...... seems kind of suspect. Now I am in no way saying it's not possible, but if you do have that you have to realize that you are in the top 100-500 players with SPM worldwide. Also you must realize the net average in TDM is about 115-130 SPM.
What YOU are suggesting doing is the EXACT SAME thing I said to do, other than using the motion dildo. The reason I don't EVER suggest this is the fact that most decent players use Hacker and see it and know where you are camping. If I see a motion dildo, I know there are at least one guy sitting in a corner/hiding spot in that area. The same goes with claymores. If I see a claymore in a room, I know that there is a guy there 95% of the time.
Also you say "my camping spot is half the map because I know the spawns" Well genius, in TDM they are DYNAMIC SPAWNS meaning that the enemies do NOT have a set place to spawn. This means either you have TDM confused with a mode like Demolition, or you are blowing smoke out of your bum.
