When I start every prestige I play drop zone to level up shotguns as quickly as posible. That must be one of the easiest games to understand, hold the dropzone, get points. I've been in games recently with over 5500 points in a single game and still lose. I go to the dropzone and try to defend it and get kills. I don't always go positive but I'm always in the top 2 players. I always get the muppets who go 34-3 and get 1000 points or 5-25 with 500 points. If I actually win a game of dropzone it's down to me and no one else 95% of the time. If I can do well in the simplest of game modes with an pump action shotgun without damage, then why can't other people with SMGs/ARs?
