  • Question
    What if I'm stuck reloading with an empty magazine and I can't find a corner or any thing to protect me, what do I do?
    Community Answer
    Usually, you don't want to reload in a situation like that at all, you do have the option of using your secondary if you have one. For future reference, learn your type of reload style and adjust to how you play. Running on the edges of the map is somewhat advantageous if running out of ammo a lot, mainly because the edges have more corners to hide in, but this is when you reload frequently (e.g. after every 1 to 2 kills).
  • Question
    How can I make a certain gun (M27) with attachments such as fast mag, ACOG scope, and fore grip more effective?
    Community Answer
    ACOG may look like a helpful sight, but the iron sight for M27 is useful because it doesn't take up room on your screen. Fast mags are good but extended mags give you more ammo, so you won't have to worry about picking up guns all the time. The M27 doesn't always require fore grip; some people prefer a red dot sight or quick draw.

    When you've been caught, it can be tempting to run and look for cover, but your best bet is to take a chance. Hurry to locate them, fire back and try to take them out first.

    No matter how good you are, there will always be someone who can do it better. That's an important fact of life that applies to almost anything you do. But that's okay, because even still, you should never reach a point in anything you do at which you cannot improve.

    How can I get more kills in COD?
    Community Answer
    Before you go into multiplayer online, play one or two games with bots warm up and get your hand-eye coordination ready. Don’t rush around the map, just take your time -- you will notice that you will see more. If your playing the new MW, go to YouTube and watch what setting you could use to help out with getting your aim on targets faster and other helpful things that you wouldn’t really think of, like turning off motion blur and controller vibration.

    First, you can try adjusting your sensitivity for ADS and non-ADS, second, Don't flick the joystick all the way to the right or left, keep it in between, this can help because the joystick has a far range, so it needs to be to the right to track moving targets better.
