That may sound easy to do but its damn near impossible. Just get used to a handgun and if u can snipe good u should be able to pistol whip people.

Also, Ive actually started using the pump shotgun. It mat sound stupid to yall but it takes alot of skill to use that. Think of the pump as a DE .50, u need to be about 3-5 feet to hit accurate enough to kill. I usually go head to haed and get as close as i can and wham, knocks the guy off his feet. Its very usefull in close combat, i took 3 out at once then i was shot in the back by my teammate.

Prone is never a bad thing
If you see or hear incoming grenades and don't think you can run out of the area in time, go prone. More often than not, being prone will do less damage to you from grenades. I survived grenades landing almost right next to me being prone, where if I'm standing I'll die from a frag that seemed like it landed on the other side of the map.

My advice for multiplay is to use the 3rd person view to your advantage, to look around corners and stuff like. It might not be like that in real life but it doesnt matter because this is just a video game.



PS Paintball is the best (i have an Angel Speed)

That is helpful, AŠŠASŠIN. I do that a lot and I know everyone who camps on hostage missions does it also.

i think that the third person view is best used in desert glory if you are a terrorist because u can camp i the hostage room and be on one side of the wall and still be able to c when a berson comes into the room through the doorway. but if they blow the¨C4¨wall the only place left with cover is inside the jail with the hostages.

thats some of the best advice you'll ever hear. i always dive away from incoming nades, even if they land 10 feet away. it's saved me more times then i can count.

Yeah thanx "major" this helped me out a lot. Another thing about grenades is, if you're in a hostage mission and you accidentally drop the "nade" and you can't get away in time to save the hostages, just dive on it. even though you commit suicide, you save your teammates lives AND the hostages. This has worked for me on several accounts.
