Call of Duty TED Talk
Call of
Duty multiplayer is an incredibly fun game that the American youth is playing.
This TED talk is here to help you survive in the world of COD multiplayer for
Black Ops II. So multiplayer is when players go up against each other, whether
it’s on a team or solo. These players are fighting against one another with
many different types of weapons and attachments for these weapons. They are
fighting to achieve many different objectives in many different game modes. But
enough about that. Now it’s time to start on how to survive.
Step One: Determine which player you are
When broken
down, there are only two types of players. There are slayers and there are
objective players. Sorry that the latter doesn’t have a cool name. Slayers are
people who running around the map killing anything on the enemy team. These
people usually go solo and are in the game for the kills. Objective players are
people who do whatever the objective of the certain match is. They will capture
points of flags or whatever to help the team. This TED talk is going to be
geared towards slayers.
Step Two: Pick your primary weapon
To be a
slayer, you will need a specific type of weapon. In COD, there are six types of
weapons: assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, light
machine guns, and riot shields. When playing as a slayer, you are going to want
to pick either and assault rifle or a submachine gun. Sniper rifles and
shotguns don’t fire fast enough, light machine guns are too heavy, and riot
shields make you get in close and don’t kill quick enough. Assault rifles and
submachine guns are the way to go. Assault rifles fire slowly and do damage,
but are a little slower to move with. Submachine guns fire quickly with less
damage, but you can move faster with them. Once you have chosen, you can move
on.
Step Three: Pick your attachments
When
playing as a slayer, the most fundamental attachment you will need is a
silencer. A silencer keeps you off the map the shows where people are firing
their un-silenced weapons. This keeps the enemy from knowing where you are most
of the time. The next attachment is up to you. I personally go with fast mags In
Black Ops II, this attachment lets you reload your weapon faster. This is
invaluable in a tough gun fight as you can get back in it quicker.
Step Four: Pick your secondary weapon
In Black
Ops II, there are three types of secondary weapons: pistols, launchers, and
special. There is also a knife attachment, which does not take up a spot in
your Pick-10 system. A good slayer will go with either a good pistol or stay
with his knife in order to put that point somewhere else. One good thing is that the pistols can be
silenced and the knives are already silent.
Step Five: Pick your perks
Perks are
things in the game that help you out. One can only attach three perks at a
time, unless you use wildcards, but I’ll talk about that later. One good perk
that is good for a slyer is a Tier 2 perk called Scavenger. This lets you pick
up “scavenger packs”, which resupply you. It resupplies your ammo and equipment.
This is good since you don’t want to run out of ammo during an intense fire
fight. A great Tier 3 perk is called Engineer. This lets you see the equipment
of enemy players. You will be able to see things like claymores or bouncing
betties that the enemy has planted. These are proximity mines that are very
deadly to players like you. One of the best Tier 1 perks for a slayer is called
Ghost. This keeps you off the mini map as long as you are moving. These are
great perks for slayers.
Step Six: Pick your Equipment
Equipment is
things like explosives. One good thing for players is C-4, which is the most destructive
device in the game and can be thrown. They have a very large blast radius and
are great for slayers. Another good piece of equipment is flash bangs. These non-lethal
grenades blind and deafen your enemies for a short period of time. This gives
you a good amount of time to get in there and kill them.
Step Seven: Pick your wildcards
Wildcards
are things that let you customize even further. They can do things like add a
third attachment to your primary or a second attachment to your secondary. They
can also add a second perk to each tier. One great wildcard is one that unlocks
a second Tier one perk. Another good perk for slayers is Hardline, which makes
it easier to reach your point streaks.
Step Eight: Pick your point streaks
Points are
things you are awarded for doing things like getting kills or completing
objectives. Point streaks can either help your team or hurt the other team. Slayers
are usually geared towards hurting the enemy team. They use lethal point
streaks that kill enemy players. You can pick whichever ones you want.
Step Nine: Finding the right play style
There are
many ways to be a slayer. The best tactic that I have used is a simple one. Basically,
you work your way around the side of the maps. You do this to avoid most
players and kill any stragglers. Once you have worked your way around the
sides, you set up in their spawn. The spawn is where the players go after dying
somewhere else. From here, you can kill many players when they are off guard. You
can use you scavenger perk to never run out of ammo and your Ghost perk to stay
hidden.
Step Ten: Go forth and win
Now that
you know all of these things, you can go forward and have a successful career
in COD multiplayer.
