FORUMS_

I used to be like you (over in MW3) until my friend on XBL gave me a few pointers on how to play competitvely online and now on Black Ops 2 my overall KD is 1.8, TDM 2.16.

Don't go rushing around, it rarely works unless there are scorestreaks already supporting you (such as the UAV, Counter-UAV or Orbital VSAT), take an easy approach and grab an assault rifle and play a support role.

Treyarch has already made it so the UAV required more points since it was incredibly easy to obtain in game against opponents. The majority of the on-line community would rather that scorestreaks are harder to obtain(which presents a challenge) than very easy to obtain.

I wouldn't mind the support option as long as there would not be any scorestreaks such as the Stealth Bomber.

My two cents,

have you tired getting better or at least thinking before you try to kill someone

I've read so many different things about scorestreaks, that they've been done this way to encourage gameplay by players scoring points for kills and achieving objectives etc etc, but its an unfair system for those of us, like me, that aren't that great at the game. I've been playing 1d 21h 41m 38s, i have a a k/d ratio of 0.5 and in that time i've called in only 182 UAVs

 

I brought the game so that I can play with or against my mate and have fun at the same time, but it most matches I struggle to even get a basic UAV (as you can see) and that was when it was only 350 and using Hardline too, now thats been increased to 425.

 

There needs to be something for players that aren't experts to keep the game fun for us too, please bring back something like the support option that allows players to earn scorestreaks without it being reset everytime your killed.

 

I doubt that I'm the only player to suffer like this, I can run around and try and rush kill people, or I can take my time act cautious and I still end up being shot, I'm not one of these that just sits and waits in one place camping I engage with the game, and would like it to engage more fairly for others like myself,

Try playing Kill confirmed. Even if you're not going on a monster kill streak, you still have a good shot at UAVs and RC cars by collecting tags. Then the UAV assist points can help you toward a Hunter Killer scorestreak. You'll be cool.

It's called a Care Package.

As others have said, try DOM or KC. TDM is probably the worst game mode for obtaining kill streaks. Also, you have to pay your dues man. I started at the very end of World at War and had a 1.09 K/D. I was aweful, but I got better by playing and learning. In BO1, MW3 and BO2 my K/D is 2.5+.

I'm an old geezer, for a gamer, 39. So if I can do it w/ old man reflexes, anyone can.

There is sooo many pointers and so much advice veteran players can give you, it would take up too much space here.

But one bit of advice I can give you? Stay away from objective based games until you're good at doing two other things first.

1 - Stay alive. It is more important that you don't give the opposing team scorestreaks than it is for you to earn a scorestreak.

2 - Let the kills come to you. That does not mean camp. What that means is that if you know there's a guy around the corner and you know he is facing that corner waiting for you to come around? Don't go  to him. Make him come to you. If you get really good at step 1, you'll see that step 2 happens non-stop all match long.

Want to get good at getting enough points/kills to call in scorestreaks or kill streaks?

Turn them off. Don't use them at all. That sounds to me to be your biggest problem. You're so focused on earning a damm UAV you get killed ten times in the process. Stay alive.

Stay alive.

Stay alive.

When you get good at that, you'll get good at getting kills and then you'll be good at calling in scorestreaks.
