Man, I really suck at CoD: WaW

[SirSisyphus]

So I'm lurking over at the WaW board at Gamefaqs and someone posted a thread that had a link to someone's multiplayer stats. Now the purpose was to laugh at how much this person sucks. So I clicked and looked at his stats and realized "this person could be me". Very depressing.

I don't know why I keep playing. When I play, it's usually TDM and I'm lucky to break even at 8 kills and 8 deaths. More often than not its more like 10-14 or sum such stat. My K/D ratio is .80, but I can't stop playing. It's still fun even though I've put hours into the game (as well as MW which was the same thing for me stat-wise).

Is there anyone else who is a glutton for punishment like me on this or any game?

I'm usually pretty good at games - Team Fortress 2 is the only game I own on PC and as a result I am terrible with a mouse...but its great fun!

It doesn't matter dude, as long as you have fun when you play that's all that matters!

And if you don't like losing just play the single player on easy mode!

I played oblivion on easy because I was so bored of taking 10 minutes to kill each troll.

See, that's the thing. I mean, it sucks to lose, but I still have fun. And I don't get better. My equilibrium is at 'terrible'. I rarely get enough kills for an artillery strike and maybe unleashed the dogs 6 times and I'm at lvl 41. I can unload the clip of a BAR on an enemy accross the battlefield, hit him three times and get popped with one shot and go down. I can go five minutes as a sniper without seeing the enemy only to be stabbed from behind while finding some kills.

And I love every minute of it. I'm pathetic.

Not at all... what's pathetic is arrogant fucks who are so insecure in real life that they spend forever playing games online so they can gloat at people they beat because they are finally better than someone else at something...

The best practical tip is to use the FG42 with scope and stopping power. Use short "squirts" of fire and aim for the chest.

Dont sweat. Did you play CoD4? my KD ratio was negative for CoD 4 because it was the first CoD game I played and I was learning the ropes. Through play time my KD ratio picked up but Id put my self in too big a hole to equal it out on my career stats.

Because of this my KD ratio is mint for CoD WaW. Ive got all of my learning done in CoD 4.

So keep playing, keep having fun with your friends and enjoy it. By the time modern warfare 2 comes round you can start your stats again and look pro.

Oh, and play Hardcore, itsw how it was meant to be played.

This. Seriously, you having fun with it is all that matters. I was obsessed with my KD ratio once too (when I paid attention, it would fluctuate between .95 and 1.5, and I would try desperately to keep it above 1.0). But every time I got it above 1.0, I wouldn't be able to just sit back and have fun, suddenly I'd have to work to maintain it. So, I eventually thought "when is this going to be fun for me?" Since then, I've stopped paying attention to my KD ratio and I have way more fun.

I played the hell out of MW and I was much worse than now. It was my first experience with online gaming ever. My K/D ratio was probably .40 or something so my skills did improve when I moved to WaW. However I don't see myself ever getting beyone .80's.

And as a matter of fact, I just started playing harcore and I love it. The only thing I hate are the pricks who team kill on purpose. It's annoying and childish and easily fixable by just leaving and finding another list, but still...

 

[sneak_copter]

Just play it for kicks.

Dude, your not pathetic because your not good at a game.
If anything, being pathetic is the people who are like
15,000,000,000,000,000 th prestige and there K.D. Spread is

[ssgt splatter]

It usally depends on how tired and/or spacey i am. When i'm focused and have a "TEAM", and I can't stress the word "TEAM" enough, i kick ass. When i'm tired and don't have a "TEAM", i suck ass.

I agree. i don't like the element of competition in gaming and that's why i prefer to play alone and be antisocial. Life is competitive enough without bringing that element into the areas of my life I have fun with...

For every 0.8 like you there is a 3.6 like me. Want some tips?

I've had the game since release and haven't prestige once yet. Between that and coming on here and telling everyone about it, when would I have the time and motivation to implement tips?

Just kidding...sure.

 

[sooperman]

2 tips for you...

Bouncing Betties. As much as possible. Put them on any class where Perk 1 isn't something more useful. Put them down in random places. Doors work best, or try to find a place where people come up/down ladders. For example, on the level Dome, the ladder that leads into the stone walkway on the side of the map, at the top of the ladder and top of the stairs are great places to put Betties. And just like Claymores on MW, even if it doesn't kill, it will tell you someone is there.

MP40. One of the best guns in the game, IMO, because it is adaptable: You can put the AS on it when you need distance, double mag when you need to spray, and Perks make it fully customizable.

But remember to have fun =D

WAW for the 360, right?

 

[Vlane]

To be honest no there has never been a console game where I was bad at. Especially in FPS's I was every time number 1. Maybe I'm too good or everyone is too bad.

Now PC games that is something else but I play them for fun not for a challenge.

No there is something called "2nd place" ^_^

lawl jay kay.

 

[AdmiralWolverineLightningbolt]

yeah, i suck at that game's online
im just happy when i get more kills than other people on my team, but i almost always get around twice as many deaths just because i like to run and gun

it doesnt matter, if someone ever insults you for it, ask them what they spend their friday/saturday nights doing
they'll probably shut up after that

Okay. I use one of three techniques depending on how the other team plays. Browningm1919 (You won't have that yet so just use MG42) with stopping power, bouncing betties and extreme conditioning. I then take on of the tower positions(Maps like Cliffside, Makin, Dome, Castle and Upheaval) Use the bouncing betties to prevent attacks from my back then stand at a window gunning people down.

Technique number two is Type 100 with dual magazines(can be replaced with an stg-44 for longer range), bouncing betties again, Juggernaut and Extreme conditioning. For this one I basically run around the map gunning people down, plant the bouncing betties in a commonly used doorway and then leave them. I find this the most effective having just got a 60 kill streak with it.

Technique number three is my personal favourite. Mosin Nagent with scope. Bouncing betties (Yes again), stopping power and Deep impact. Same technique as number one only I hide in a quiet spot with a view of one of the major towers. Works best on hardcore.

Hope that helps.

There is a word for what you describe: "camping". So to sum up: camp with either a long, med, or short range gun, depending on the map. #2 is not a technique, it's just playing.

Great advice.

You cant suck more than me at CoD. I'm beyond abysmal at it and have no fun whatsoever so therin decided to sell up. For example: I'd often be lucky to get a kill every 4 deaths and often I, unlike those who have kill streaks, had a death a streak. A death streak is where you spawn and die within 10 - 20 seconds of spawning 10 or more times. Its became and irriatation and a blight to my PS3 so I abandoned ship. MGO however Im fair at and have a smashing good time.

Play games you enjoy, regardless of your reasoning. Unless its because killing turns you on. Then you should go see a psychiatrist. Else go and have fun! Obsessives are pathetic, so are 12 year olds who squawk insults in nasely voices down their spit flecked headsets.

Edit: To that effect, Im quite bad at TF2, but love that game and can devour many a night of mirthful epicness in its cartoony goodness=D

My K/D ratio is .80, but I can't stop playing.

In the military business we tend to refer to you politely as a grunt, but in private as cannon fodder.

YOU THERE! RUN UP THAT HILL!

*kapwang!* Thud.

Oops! So there ARE enemy soldiers out there! Ok you guys flank left, while the rest of you give supressing fire...

just remember: dulce et decorum est pro patria mori!!!
