The Vet & The Noob

Now I wanna play MW3 again, haven't touched that game in 1 and 1/2 years.

 

honestly to the newer players I'm going to say this:
You're wasting your time.
Go read a book or something.
Look at the sky.
Enjoy life.
There's already salt on your food, you don't need more salt.

honestly I'm starting to find that exploring new games as opposed to playing the same game over and over is more refreshing.

I remember I said, "change is the thing I know has to happen but I hate it anyway"
(somewhere along those lines)
generalizations like that lead you nowhere

Spoiler: discouraging to a certain extent

1) Use your nades, C4, and molotovs, to gain the advantage.
...
I fail to see how grenades would help in the long run. It all depends on the gamemode. Molotovs are just a hindrance, it is just obnoxious, and I can still see what is happening through the flames.

I often see new players stand out in the open spraying bullets into the sky or shooting at random things. Where as Veterans tend to know exactly where to go and how to deal with the enemy.
Of course they don't know what they are doing. Most of the time they are little ducklings without a mother. Most of the time, people don't seek help, and when they do, they might not get any, because who cares about addressing an obvious noob who doesn't know how to play the game? I'm on a 14ks and I definitely don't care about newer players, because they add numbers to the screen, numbers that they don't have.

I would recommend newer players learn to play with the MSR (Modular Sniper Rifle)




I think many newer players would benefit from learning to shoot using the MSR because it requires aiming, stealth, reloading, and then re-engaging the enemy while not dying.
. . .
All guns require aiming or just shooting in the general direction of the player.
Stealth is unnecessary when you learn how to quickscope.
Re-engaging the enemy? I have a secondary pistol.

The over-compensating Skully users suffer from "Skullcrusher-itis" this is the common belief that they are better than they really are because they can spay and pray while dancing back and forth. I think this often puts them into bad positions and they die more often because the belief that the weapon will bail them out.

Because when you are at that position, you become a cocky player. Basically, they're pretentious players, but how are you going to prevent this from happening? Obviously, people are going to buy armor and equip a skullcrusher because it is one of the best weapons.
It depends not only on the skill, but the spatial awareness of the player. Players die from obliviousness.

The MSR rifle forces users to shoot, duck while reloading, employ stealth, and be more cautious when engaging the enemy. I believe that more players would benefit from learning to use the MSR and that it would benefit them in the long run so they don't gain bad habits or act carelessly.
Duck? Pretty sure that that is just hiding behind a corner while you wait for you guns to reload.
Yeah, I'm a realist.
...
The MSR forces users to shoot, duck while reloading, employ stealth, and be more cautious when engaging the enemy?
Don't you do that with all guns? It's more so with the MSR, but it's the same experience for all guns, so I fail to see how that would force users to utilize the following.

Also, learning the art of the head shot will save your life!

Shooting from angles, or through doors/windows (while not standing in them) flanking the enemy and shadow shooting (shooting between tiny spaces) is a great way to use this weapon while not dying excessively. Also, employing stealth, while shooting down range, and fast reloading force the player to employ more tactics while not relying solely on the weapon.
k

Try using the MSR for an extended period of time and then use another weapon, the skill sets learned from the MSR will benefit you when you try your other gun out.

I hope this helps "Newer" players become "Vets".
...You can't teach an old dog new tricks, and in the same way, you can't teach a new dog new tricks that he/she doesn't have the specifications to use efficiently.
The gun type or the actual gun doesn't affect how well you play (sometimes), it's about the players reasoning, condition, and specifications. Will the player succumb under pressure? Does he keep his cool?
Is he cocky and just wants to see blood spill and heads fall?
Does he know how to quickscope?
How well does he utilize advanced strats?
People always think that a more advanced gun will serve them better in the midst of battle.
However, it always depends on the player, not the gun he has.

For the newest players I would recommend the dragonov: it is extremely similar to the msr.

 

Nice guide! I bet a lot of newer players will like it and learn a lot from it. To add on, the MSR is a two-shot with a body shot and a one-shot with a head shot. Over time, players will subconsciously aim for the head more and more often and effectively. After enough practice, it will just be totally automatic that you aim and shoot at the head. It is really helpful to use guns that are a one-shot for a head shot and two shots for the rest of the body because it naturally teaches players to aim for the head every shot, rather they know it or not. This will come in play later on when you actually go for a good KDR instead of racking up as much kills as possible while disregarding your deaths. Even with an automatic gun, it can make a difference killing someone one or two bullets earlier.

Now for the part where I disagree with your thread in some way. I think skully-itis is prevalent in some players, but not as often and to such an extent as you may believe. While a lot of players use skully, a lot of other players use the iso and a variety of other guns.

Many skully users do think it can bail them out from everything and they go crazy on the battlefield because it, well, can do just that. Depending on the skill of the players around them, the skully can work wonders for almost anyone. It can kill large groups of enemies with extreme efficiency and effectiveness. While many players do it a bit too much, it can help a lot more than most guns do in those situations. While if camping, the skully does take less skill than the iso to use, but it does take some skill. To me, a player is "good" or "really good" when their EMP:game ratio is high. I honestly don't care if they use iso, skully, moddel, or anything really. Good is good to me, no matter what they use.
