Hey guys Boston here and I will be posting weekly guides to the games I play to give everyone who plays these games a little insight to improve your gameplay. Comment below if you have any tips or tricks, or if you would like to have a more personal guide on game.
Call of Duty has been my forte since I’ve had online gaming, so I have evolved from casual gamer to pro player and now to a competitive casual player. With boots on the ground CoD, there are some very simple ways to improve your gameplay.
Positioning is the first and very important piece of your game. Once you have played the maps in the game a few times you get used to the layouts of the maps and where the “power positions” are. So depending on the game type and where the objectives are you should know the choke points on the map and spawn points to a general area. For example, I play a lot of Domination, so I know the lanes on the map where ppl can attack the B flag and I know that they spawn near their home flag, unless we as a team are pushing the spawns. Positioning boils down to a few main concepts, where should you be to stop an enemy push? Where can you put yourself at an advantage either via height, headglitching etc? And lastly where are your teammates? These questions can help you develop an idea of how to improve your gameplay for positioning whether you are an aggressive sub player or a passive lane watching AR.
Communication and IQ: The next biggest portion of your gameplay is communication and game IQ. Communication should be constant if you are playing in a squad to help your teammates stay alive and alert everyone of potential team pushes or help needed. Things that should be stated are called call outs, these are quick bits of information told to everyone so everyone understands what you’ve seen or are doing. Main communication points in a sequence should be: Where you spawned? Right side of spawn, spawned out at A, odd spawn at B etc. What you are pushing off spawn? What you are watching when you get there? Do you need help in that area? Do you see any enemies coming to your position? If so, how many, did you shoot them at all, how weak are they? And finally when you die and where? IQ is something that is built and learned through experience, IQ encompasses map awareness, score awareness, rotations/pushes, who to fight and when to fight them, using all your advantages, out thinking the opponent by thinking ahead of what they can do.
Another important piece is gunskill and movement. Gunskill is somewhat self explanatory but I’ll go into some aspects of it. To be a good player you need to be able to aim effectively, meaning keeping center mass to head shots at a maximum. Keeping up with buffs and nerfs so you know what guns are good. Gunskill is also knowing how to position yourself and knowing how to take fights. The last part of gunskill is movement, now movement is not as important in boots on the ground CoD but it can help you dominate people on the regular. Basic jumping or drop shotting can throw a lot of ppl off in aim, just knowing when to do it is crucial. For example, I usually jump around corners or if I am pinned behind a pillar or something by an enemy and need to engage. Also I jump if I get shot in the back to help with turning around. I usually drop shot when I turn corners or am in a gun fight in close quarters and someone’s in my face.
These are sos simple things to improve your gameplay that you can see a considerable difference in once you master them. Once again if you would like to have a game session to learn more or have a personal guide please let me know.
