Tips
- Fast experience: use the same pistol until you complete all the mark and elite challenges: the last part is generally worth 1,000 experience points. Also do the odd challenges (jumping from 15 feet and surviving, falling from 30 feet and dying: on the Countdown map jump into one of the open silos, crouching).
- More accuracy: with the Red Dot Sight attachment also use the ACOG scope: the red dot improves aim, while the ACOG gives more range but takes away accuracy (useless especially for snipers).
- Sniper: follow the moving target even when you are not shooting. Prefer the M40A3 to the M21: slower but it kills with one shot instead of 2 or 3. Excellent combination: Claymore, Prestige Play or Stopping Power, Iron Lungs.
