I love when people on the other team talk loads of crap before or after the game. It just give me more motivation to blow their head into pieces...

I just think of different ways to own the enemy. Alright, they're all goin here, Let me get them from behind. Rush? Ambush? Hold Back/Camp? It depends on the game.

I have noticed its always the guy thats on the bottom of the list thats like 0-6 yelling at the guys who are like 6-7.

if you are not doing very well in a game,you need to do a couple things,maybe.First,try switching spawn points if you feel u cant get 2 where u wanna b quik enuff,2nd,swicth weapons if u think u need more accuarte weopn or a different kind of weapon depending on the terrain,for example,it isnt smart to run around in a CQB map witha sniper rifle,try getting an SMG or something.and finally,if your strategy is camping but the enemy has found ur spot & u keep goiing there and he keeps killing u,then u should obviously find a new place to camp...

This is an excellent post.

I'm what you would call a noob I suppose. I bought Socom about three years ago specifically for the online play, played for about 4 hours, woke up the next morening and surprise! No internet anymore. The single player bored the hell out of me, so I stopped playing totally. I just bought S3 yesterday, and I'm in the process of learning everything, so I almost always end with at least a 2:1 deaths to kills ratio. This morning I played a game where I was at the top of the scoring list after like the 6th round - with only 4 points! Believe it or not, I have yet to willingly quit a game (I accidentally pushed the reset button on one game when I was attempting to plug my headset back in).

So what keeps a silly little nub like me going? The fact that I know for every death I take, I become a little more familiar with my surroundings, a little more comfortable with the weapon I'm using, and a little more able to be tactical. The second to last game I played yesterday ended with me being at 19 kills and 10 deaths. Abnormal for me so far, but I still feel it wouldn't have happened if I just quit any game where I may be sucking up the playing field.

When I die, usually I try to realize what I did wrong and hopefully remember for next time how to avoid the mistake. Eventually I'll be able to fit in well with the tactical clans, which is my aim. Until then, I'll just play the unrated games and practice practice practice!

Easy Lu, I just figure, their character is just as vulnerable as mine (most times) and I just need to outplay them. I do believe in this mind over matter thing. If you know you are capable of ownage and MVP playing, then it isnt impossible to pick it up.

I try to switch up my tactics when I'm getting owned, say if I'm rushing and I keep getting hit with grenades, I will hang back with the team and let the other side waste theirs, then charge in and hit em while theyre not expecting it. If I know an entire team is heading to one area, I try to take a teammate and hit em from behind when the rest of the team is distracting them. If we keep getting rushed and owned, we set up a camp at our spawn. If I lose my life in order for my team to get 2+ kills from the action I did, its worth it to me. I try to play for whatever benefits my team the most, if I am at the top of the ranks I try so hard to get mvp that I end up having no fun at all. Having fun...isnt that the idea of the game?

[SmoothMoves]

When I'm having a bad game i just try a new tactic with a new weapon when im playing like crap on the terrorists sad to say but i bring out the noob of all noobs guns the f90 and just waste anyine around me and when im seals ill sometimes pull out the hk5 which is one of my favourites next to the Iw. try and get easy kills and just focus to do anything to keep yourself alive and shoot anything moving this applies a lot in harvester and black woods

[Superstar]

I only get out if im like 20-0 on a spawn camping respawn.
