Black Ops Multiplayer

Playing Black Ops multiplayer mode is my favorite thing to do in Call of Duty. In this section of the website, I will be revealing some of my best multiplayer tips and tricks that you can use to start winning more games, getting more kills, and having a lot more fun in CoD.

Black Ops Multiplayer - 5 Methods for Getting More Kills

Below, here are 5 quick changes you can make to your playstyle that will help you start getting more kills right away and even avoid dying. Getting more kills is a lot of fun and as a bonus you also get to use all the cool killstreak rewards. Plus, the better you do, the faster you level up which gives you access to more guns, perks, and prestige levels.

With that said, here are 5 ways you can start dominating in Black Ops Multiplayer mode:

#1 - Avoid Sprinting When on the Offensive

This is the biggest mistake newbie players make. You almost never want to sprint when you are on the offensive (i.e. looking for players to kill). The amount of time it takes you to pull your weapon back out and be able to shoot is enormous and if you find someone head on you will almost always die in this situation.

It is better to creep around the map without sprinting so you have quick access to your weapon. Although perks help with this, I prefer to only sprint when moving across a dangerous open space or when I am chasing another player.

#2 - Select the Right Weapon for the Map

A lot of players make the mistake of using the same gun whenever they play Black Ops multiplayer. While I suggest getting comfortable with a few select weapons, there are certain times when it helps to be adept with a few guns.

Some maps are more open and favor longer-ranged weapons. You will not do well at these maps with a submachine gun. On the other hand, it can be difficult to do well with a larger gun at a map like Nuketown where there is a lot of close-quarters fighting. Do not limit yourself to a single weapon on every map. Try a variety of combinations to see what works best for you.

#3 - Select the Right Weapon for Your Opponents

Sometimes you end up against a team that all happen to be camped inside buildings with assault rifles, patrolling the open for people running by. In a situation like this, you could try to approach with an assault rifle, but your attack is not likely to be successful.

If the enemy team is primarly camping, you can have a lot of success and earn a lot of kills in Black Ops multiplayer simply by selecting a Shotgun class and rushing into rooms where people are camping. While it is not my preferred approach, sometimes this is necessary to stop campers.

#4 - Select Perks Based on Teammates and Mode

There are two types of perks: offensive perks and scouting perks. Offensive perks are things that kill other players, whereas scouting perks either get you information (spy plane) or block enemy information (such as the Counter Spy Plane).

When you are playing by yourself or with low-skill teammates, such as in a random team deathmatch, you want to select the killing perks. After all, if your team is bad and they are not getting any kills, why would you want to waste a Spy Plane on them? A Chopper Gunner usually ends random team deathmatch games, so you might as well try to get it as quick as you can with perks like the Napalm Strike.

If you are playing with good teammates (or against good players), the power of scouting perks increases dramatically. Each Spy Plane can often lead to your team netting an extra 5+ kills, and the Counter Spy Plane is great perk as well. It also is a lot harder to shoot Spy Planes out of the sky than it is Helicopters, so these generally stay safe for longer.

#5 - Keep Voting for the Same Map

It is hard to learn the maps very well and figure out what works best if you are constantly changing maps. I recommend voting for the same map over and over again as this gives you a lot of practice on this map.

If you can get a half-dozen matches in a row on the same map, you will be able to quickly see what the leading players are able to do to net so many kills and avoid dying. This way, when you see the map again in a later Black Ops multiplayer match, you will know exactly what to do.
