Snd Tip No33 - Use callouts if playing with a team

Use callouts if playing with a team


Use callouts if you are playing with a team.
If you are not alone ,but playing with a team and have mics to communicate,then you can use callouts for giving your enemy's position.It's very helpfull especially when you are in a hurry and want to be quick and exact in your description.You can make your own callouts for each map or search the internet as there are many callouts ready for several maps ,already posted in many sites.In example i give you the callouts for the map Resistance as posted by  TmarTn.

Snd Tip No32 - Never reload in the open


Never reload in the open


You are at your most vulnerable when you’re reloading. You can’t do anything once you hit reload, so it’s possibly the worst thing you can do in the middle of a fight. It’s wise to reload every time you know you have a spare second, and most importantly, when you’re behind cover. There’s nothing worse than running out of bullets when going face to face with an enemy who has a full clip. It’s wise to reload when you’re down to a quarter clip of bullets.





(Tip from Dave Cook)

Snd Tip No31 - Never aim from the same spot


Never aim from the same spot

If you find yourself locked in an exchange with a particular enemy, the worst thing you can do is poke your head out to aim, retreat, and then poke your head out from the exact same spot. You will die most of the time doing this.
Instead, go prone and edge out, or walk around the cover you were behind to get a new angle on your attacker. While they’re waiting for you to poke your head out again, you have plenty of time to flank them. 



Snd Tip No30 - Cook Grenades

Cook Grenades


Never, ever just throw a grenade with a full timer. This gives your target far too much time to notice the grenade on their HUD and escape before it detonates. Holding it for just a second longer will increase your chances.Also, if you see a sniper in a window who is camping, walk around the area they’re firing in, good a grenade until the very last second and hurl it right in for an easy kill. The same goes for buildings full of campers. Learn to do it right and maybe you can reach Chuck Norris!!!

Chuck Norris throw a grenade killed 60 people then the grenade exploded!

Snd Tip No29-Take advantage of the music

Take advantage of the music

Take advantage of the music.When the clock reaches 1 min before the end ,a dramatic music plays and
gets louder.At that time you can't here anything clearly as the music is louder than before.You might have a problem if you are camping somewhere and defending,but if you are attacking, then you can take advantage of the noise.Try to move or to plant if you have the bomb.The enemy won't be able to hear you, except if he has sitrep pro.Many players wait for the music to start and then start whatever they want to do.Play smart ,wait for the right time and increase the possibilities for win.

Snd Tip No28-Use a good headset

Use a good headset
It's very important to be able to hear clearly all the sounds in the game.An enemy passing by can be heard and spotted.Sound is crucial especially in snd,as well as good peripheral vision.If you use sitrep pro that makes footsteps louder then you can hear almost everything.

Snd Tip No27-Play with a team

Play with a team


Find a clan and join.It's easier to play with a team you know.You can communicate with each other and share information.It's harder for the enemy to beat a well organised team with chat.Keep it in mind.

Snd Tip No26-Kill the gun pull-out animation


Kill the gun pull-out animation
Immediately after spawning, if using machine pistols (e.g. the infamous akimbo FMGs), switch to secondary to bypass slow switch animation for later gunfights.So next time when you are in a gunfight and you are out of ammo or need a reload in your primary weapon but can't afford to lose precious time you can switch to your secondary in very short time.It also applies to the Overkill perk.

Snd Tip No25-Check bodies for bombs

Check bodies for bombs
When you kill an enemy check his body.Maybe he was  the bomb carrier.If you see a bomb near the body just camp there and wait for the others to come.You can make some easy kills if you are careful enough.I know that camping is going to frustrate some guys but is necessary to get the job done.


Snd Tip No24-Leave enemy care packages alone

Leave enemy care packages alone
Don't try to steal any enemy care package that you see.Maybe the care package is a scare package (booby traped) or maybe someone is waiting for you to come and kill you.Either way you should avoid them.Camp somewhere and  see if the enemy comes back for it. If after a few seconds they do not show up ,it means that the care package is a trap so it might be best to move on.

Snd Tip No23-Don’t run, walk around corners

Don't run,walk around corners


If you don't know if an enemy awaits you around a corner, sometimes its best to slowly walk than to get caught off guard running. On the other hand, if you do know someone is there, try to flank him or to flash him with an grenade.Especially if you use recon,when you flash him,you will be able to see his position in the mini-map,even the direction he is looking.That's a great advantage,so don't waste time!Catch him off guard while he is flashed and take him out easily.

Snd Tip No22-Don’t spray and pray


Don’t spray and pray.
Be accurate and on point with your shots because shooting like a madman doesn’t gonna kill the enemy.Try to aim before shooting and only when you are sure you can get him.Try to shoot to the head or chest if your enemy is still and you can see him clearly.Spray and pray only works in close quarters when you don’t have enough time to aim down the sight and only when there is smoke and you know that somewhere inside there ,an enemy waits for you.
It’s all too tempting to simply hold down the trigger and volley off a barrage of bullets in the hope that you kill your target.  This is potentially suicidal. For one, if you don’t have a suppressor attached, you will give your position away on the radar when firing.Two, you will run out of bullets quicker and be forced to reload. Three, you will have a tough time hitting your target. Short, controlled bursts will reduce bullet spray and help you nail the chest and head area for quick kills. Be smart and disciplined.

Snd Tip No21 - Ninja defuse

Ninja defuse

In many cases,when you are defending and left alone against many enemies,you can try a ninja defuse.You have better chances to do this,than to kill all of the enemy team.Pick up a bombsite randomly or see on which site there is most of the enemy activity and hide carefully.Play dead.(there are pleanty of videos in youtube so you can learn how to do it).If you do it right and are lucky too,then you can win a round against many enemies,without a single bullet shot.

Snd Tip No20 - Planting right

Planting right
Don't plant in a side of the bombsite that you can defend only from a near position.The enemy will have smaller area to check for a defender.Especially when you plant against many enemies,then your chances are getting fewer.Choose a side that you can see the bomb and defend from afar.That way ,you have better chances against many enemies,especially if you use silencer cause they won't be able to tell where you are.Even if they find you in a later time they will have lost precious time and may not be possible to defuse on time.(see video below)
Also when planting crouch so it will be more difficult for the enemy to spot you.Another good advice when planting is to turn your body facing the way you want to go after planting so you won't lose any time ,trying to find your way out of the "hot spot".

Snd Tip No19 - Check mini-map

Check mini-map
Always check the mini-map.Especially if you or someone from your team uses recon.

Snd Tip No18 - Battle movement

Battle movement
A good tactic you have to adopt is to move sideways during a gunfight.Move like a crab.Face the enemy and move constantly from right to left so he can't have an easy target to aim.You can avoid many bullets that way and earn some extra time,enough to take him out.In order to do that,you must practice so you can be able to aim while doing that.Also when you encouter an enemy you can dive and fall down instantly while starting to shoot.That way he will miss some bullets and it will be more difficult for him to get you ,because he will have less target to aim.

Snd Tip No17-Lag

Lag
 One of the most important things in all the online games is ping.The less you got,the better for you.It's a huge difference if you are 1 sec ahead of your enemy.A good connection is crucial.Also a good ,modern pc will make your job easier cause you can avoid some lost frames,or pc lag,which may be cause by an old hardware.Unfortunately you can't do anything to impove the lag issue,except to try a new connection with a new internet provider.

Oh,i forgot...Don't download anything when you enter the game.This will cause you huge problems.Put the porn you like in the download queue and leave it for a later time.....

Snd Tip No16- Moving-camping balance

Moving-camping balance
You have to know when to run and when to camp.Both are needed for a right and successful game.Do not camp all the time cause eventually they will find you.Even if you manage to kill one or two enemies,the others will take you out.A static player is an easy target,especially if you camp all the time in the same spots.Remember,the enemy learns from your actions.On the other hand a player who runs all the time, is going to end dead soon.Even if you surprise on or two enemies eventually you will make a mistake.Running offers you speed and the element of surprise ,but doesn't allow you to observe all the map clearly and a camping-hidden enemy will see you easily.Also you are more likely to miss a claymore and fall into a trap.You must learn when to run and when to camp,and find the right dosage depending on the map and the enemy's style.


Camping inside a wheel????

Snd Tip No15-Deception

Deception
Another important thing is to deceive your enemies.Make them believe you are somewhere else.Control your opponent’s attention.
Imagine that your enemy has planted the bomb.The bomb site has two entrances and you know that he is camping somewhere inside this area, looking both entrances.You can choose one entrance to enter and throw a flash or a stun grenade towards the other side of the map, near the other entrance.That way he will probably think that you are coming from that side and turn his eyes there.That gives you enough time to enter safely and make a quick check of the surrounding area ,looking for him.Mislead him and you might be the one with the advantage.Another thing you can do is to shoot a barrel near there,so he will be destracted by the late explosion,and turn his eyes over there.Use the contents of your skull and live to tell the story.


Snd Tip No14-Risk

Risk
It's important to risk.Try different things in your game.Don't hesitate.Only that way you can become good.Even if you die it doesn't matter,it's a part of the game.The important is to discover new ways to eliminate the enemy and to enjoy the game.

Snd Tip No13-Stay off the radar

Stay off the radar
In Snd it's crucial to be invisible.Try to stay off the radar.You have only one chance to succeed.Use assassin for the UAV's and most important ,use silencer to all your weapons.When you want to make more than one kills, then you must choose silenced weapons.A silenced weapon might have less firepower in a long range but can keep you alive ,especially if you are among multiple enemies and you are alone.A silencer can hide you,but you must also move constantly,in order to confuse the enemy.If you kill half the enemy team inside a room, it's obvious that you camp there.

Another thing that might betray you,is knifing.Don't try to knife someone that is near you,if you have silencer in your weapon and enough bullets.It's better to kill him with your weapon cause the other enemies won't be able to see the position you fired.If you knife,then they will know your exact position and they will come for you.

Snd Tip No12-Choose your fights

Choose your fights
It's very important to know when to engage the enemy and when to flee.When you are in a place that gives you coverage or you are behind an enemy,then you can start a fight.Depending on your position as well as your opponent's,the map,the weapon and the  number of enemies,you choose to fight or not.For instance you cannot fire with a smg an enemy sniper that is far away.Not all fights can be won.Remember that there is a constant enemy,called lag.Another important thing is to know not only if you want a fight but also when to fight.It is more difficult to hit an opponent that moves from side to side in front of you (see tip no18). The opposite is true for characters coming right at you – or opponents moving away from you in a straight line.
The bottom line is this: Sometimes you will be better off by letting the enemy character pass instead engaging him from a difficult position.Then you will have him in the line you want.Be carefull though!
If you are following a moving enemy,don't try to shoot him while he moves especially if you are not close enough to him.Try to get near him and shoot him only when he is away from any objects he can take cover.Unmeasured factors such as lag,or a sudden movement can make you miss.
In some situations it's wise to hold your fire.For example when you discover an enemy character that is about to round a corner. Will you get enough hits to kill it before he disappears behind the corner?
You lose then your element of surprise and you have shown your position to him.Try to shoot only if you are sure you can get him.

Snd Tip No11-Classes

Classes
Depending on how you want to play ,you have to set up the right classes.A rusher ,for instance, is good to have extreme conditioning for running fast or maybe recon for marking his enemies,assassin and dead silence.A person who likes to camp and defend, might change dead silence with sit rep,so he can here the enemies coming,as sit rep pro canceles dead silence and you can hear loud all the footsteps.
A sniper on the other hand,will choose something else.In general terms it's good to have assassin as you want to be invisible all the time.An other thing you have to know is that you must adjust accordingly to your enemy.If most enemies use sit rep pro there is no meaning to have dead silence in your class.Also choose wisely your killstreaks.If you want to be a team player,then choose support killstreaks.If you want to be aggressive choose assault killstreaks.It's good to know how good are you ,and till where you can get.Know your limits and pick your pointstreaks accordingly.Stick to rewards you know you can achieve.If you can make easily 3 or 5 kills,choose your first slot to begin from there.That way you can give yourself a boost and get to a higher killstreak.Try to have near killstreaks so you can earn them easily.There is no use if you have chosen slot 3 and then slot 12 cause it's a long  way till there and probably you will be dead untill then.Remember it's Search and Destroy ,not Team Deathmatch,so be realistic when setting your killstreaks and set them to a more achievable level.
