Running and Gunning Tips
I didn't see another but i thought there should be one because run and gun dominates the servers as the most popular type of game played. This thread is more of advice for new players because I'm sure most experienced players have there own techniques which work fine for them.
What Is Run and Gun? The game setup will say no grenades, explosives, and mines, and sometimes snipers. The standard is 11 rounds with 3 or 4 minutes rounds on small maps. This game is also referred to as No boom or boomless.
What you need to do, to be successful.
1. Most importantly, don't stop moving. Side to side movements will make you harder target to hit especially by snipers.
2. Along with keep moving, means you should be jumping around because damage is minimal to legs.
3. I recently figured this out as probably the second most important thing. Be light, or keep your load as low as possible. Don't carry 2x Ammo, and as seal carry 9mm pistol and terrorist the f57 pistol. Why not carry 2x ammo some may ask, and my reason it will do you absolutely no good. The odds of you needing 5 extra clips are very very low, because most people on average will only get one kill a round and die after that. Plus you are more likely to pick up someone else's ammo. With sub-machine guns I usually make an exception to that though. Being light allows you to get to your position faster and in gun fight will give you a major advantage. A fast moving person going side to side makes for a hard target for snipers.
4. Communication is key in games, it's not all about you. I personally think it's the most annoying thing one no one is talking, and also it seems you will always lose when your team is talking.
5. The buddy system. We can't all be gods of socom, and rambo through everyone. Come up with a strategy with someone in the room. It's nice to have someone at your back, and people are grateful when you say their lives.
6. Speaking of rambo, sometimes you just need to post up in spots for a second. This game is notorious for camping if you haven't heard so you got to be aware. Look at popular spots from different angles. Make use of leaning and laying down. Your also more accurate laying down. Also try to go unnoticed in your movements, it helps to know that someone has trailed you halfway across the map.
7. High ground is beneficial in a firefight since your shooting down on somebody. It also allows you to scout the area.
8. Listen to your environment, a lot of times you can hear people running around. So turn up that tv.
9. I can't believe how many people don't know this but you can shoot through certain boxes. Also, you can shoot between the cracks of things like steel crates.
10. I can't help you much with this but some advise with shooting is just aim towards the chest because your guns recoil should kick up and hopefully you can get a head shot. When shooting your gun you don't have to shoot every round right away, a good player can reset himself if he misses with his first couple of shots and then take the kill. Be very careful with reloading, this for me personally is where I will sometimes screw myself over.
11. Don't get into clusters with your teammates!!! The enemy can easily kill you all if your standing next to each other because you end up shooting each other absorbing the shots and the enemy runs off with you all dead.
12. I think I missed a few things but I can't think of them right now so I will end on this. Don't be a dip **** in the room, and don't cheat.
If your wondering what to use it's all personal preference. I will give you a look at what I use and my control settings though. Favorite guns to use as a seal are hk5 with rifle laser and suppressor and IW with front grip and longer suppressor. As a terrorist 552 or stg with front grip and suppressor. My look speed is like 85%, acceleration is 70%, and dead zone about 33% and I use frogman as my setup instead of precision shooter.
