Even if you aren't having a bad game to start, it is a good idea to switch it up a little. If you don't you will find the opposing team will work together to bring you down first. Make the enemy think you are one place and kill them from another. I like to call this the roadrunner tactic. Well, not really, I just made that one up on the spot. It is a good tactic though. I don't usually go the same way twice in one game unless the enemy is really bad and never catches on to my route.

I find that the best thing if your having a bad game is to get up for a minute and get a drink, or a snack or go to the bathroom etc when the next round starts. Then come back like a minute in, assess whats going on, and try and help out and get some kills. I just think this works because it gets you out of the repetitiveness of whatever you've been doing and also chills you out. What happens to me is sometimes if I do bad initially, I try and make up for it by being a superstar and getting a bunch of kills, but if that fails, you just dig yourself into a deeper hole. Also sometimes they just kill you every round, while your going all your favorite ways that usually work great.... and it's frustrating because now you have 4 different guys and they are all expecting you each way you usually like to go. And now instead of your favorite ways helpin you pwn, your the one getting pwned.

Either way, by now your probably feeling all pissed off and antsy, and you want kills, but your not thinking straight. Take that minute break to get up and walk around and calm down. Then hopefully you can come back and pick off a few guys who maybe were already wounded, or perhaps your team outnumbers them and you can get a kill or two with some support. Then once you get it rolling and you have a good round or two, it picks up. It doesn't take much to turn a game around, but I think you have to get your head on straight before you can make that huge turn around. Getting mad doesn't help at all, getting psyched up does, but you have to remain calm and collected... and also break out of the mold of whatever you've been doing, since it obviously hasn't been working if your not satisfied with your performance thus far.

i think its all about momentum. if you get a grenade kill off the back you are for sure going to be good that round. its all about how you start. when its tough to kill people they just have the momentum on there side.

i usually kill all my team members the next round... throw my controller at the ps2 and bi*tch about lag. then i sit and cry for a while and come back to the game and whine some more. (he couldnt have killed me on the gotdamn reload, i got him on the reload AHHHH)

No i always stick it out. Im mediocre at best on most maps and i know this so when i have a long drought in a few rounds i just keep at it. then ill get a round where ill get a few then some more in the next and by the end im usually better than 3/4 of my team and at least half the other team.

i think tht you have a bad game for a reason. zIf it is 10 or even 8 rounds into a gmae adn we are losing i jsut say f' it. I do wht i ahve been adn wht happens happens. Now tht i have basically made a foool of myself i get made fun of in the lobby. NOW I HAVE A REASON TO SLAY!!!! Negative emotion helps me play better...maybe for you to.

For me when I have a bad game, I usually end up just fooling around. Whenever I have a bad game is when I start taking it too seriously or I've been playing too long, I just get careless. If you're having a bad game it's usually because you're bored. Grab junky guns and go have fun, screw around, just do something to make the best out of a bad game.
