use cold-blooded or hardline.

always use a silenced weapon.

if your camping use bling and add a heartbeat sensor to your silencer.

only smg worth using is the UMP.

Use a Shotgun.

best flawless s&d=16-0 best total 18-1.

If you're not very good (like me) stab someone on your team at the start of each round so if you die without doing anything you still get a match bonus - don't do it on HC though!

Don't have any tips. 15-3 on Afghan is probably my best, but I hardly play S&D.

In COd4 I had developed strategies, but the ability to adapt is the main thing people need to learn. If you die going one way, try something else next time. Enemies will likely go the same way expecting the same kill, so surprise them. There may be certain paths to go on certain maps to increase chances of an easy kill.  In COD4's "Vacant" for example, I always ran from the attacking side to the window on the left, then tossed a frag down the hall. If timed properly, someone running from the defending side would pop out the door and usually blow up.

You basically need ATLEAST 2 classes specifically for Search and Destroy.

The first should be silenced weapons + Ninja, the second should be the same (or similar) but with Cold Blooded as well as Ninja. This is so that if they call in a UAV at the start of a round you can quickly change.

Normally I use Marathon + Lightweight, not too many people use this in S&D for some reason so you should be able to get into position for either camping or rushing.

For equipment I would go for Claymores but frags or semtex do work as well.


Offense can be hard, normally I rush to about half way and take it easy, listen out for footsteps etc and only plant when its safe (or camp/defend when it is planted).

Defense is a lot easier than offense, usually you are closer to the bomb sites!

The key to Defense is knowing the map well, knowing where the enemy will typically go and then having half a dozen spots to camp. Yes... camp!

S&D can really be a game of patience, sometimes just lying prone and being very still will get you kills as people will often just run past and not notice.

Killstreak setup should be UAV, Care Package/Counter UAV & Predator Missle.
