Would you like to be master of the battlefield in Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer? Brush up on some tips from the Spotgamers’ experts.

1. Always use your environment.

Remember, use enviornment as you would in real life as your modern arsenal and the ballistics it packs can punch through a lot of the cover you would normally think of. So think again about what you use for cover and be sure to use hardcover as high ballistic weapons and shoot through small weak material like wood, plaster, or sheet metal. Same goes for when assaulting, see an enemy run up stairs, and know he's hiding in the corner? Try shooting up through the floor to kill him or distract him while your buddy goes up and finishes him.


2. Customize your weapons.

You are able to fully customize your weapon load out to your playing style. You can opt to fully customize your primary and secondary weapons, add attachments such as sights, scopes, hand grips, or grenade launchers. Please do take into consideration customizing your perks to your liking. If you are a stealthy guy who loves to pull out a silent knife kill whenever possible, customize your perks with UAV Jammer so you don't show up on Enemy UAV Radar, or add a suppressor to your weapon so you don't show up when you fire. Wicked stuff.

3. Use your support by staying alive.

In the event you stay alive long enough to get 3 kills, 5 kills, and 7 kills without dying, you'll be able to utilize some dreaded support from the sky. For example kill 3 enemies without dying and call up 30 seconds of UAV Recon (radar) for your entire team, continue your warpath to 5 kills to get the ability to call in an Airstrike anywhere on the map you choose, or even 7 kills without dying to radio in Helicopter support which will fly overhead taking down any enemies it sees and allowing some valuable distraction for you and your squad.

4. Study the battlefield.

You're going to have 16 Multiplayer Maps at launch, putting you in the middle of the action all fights and cocks, and be sure to take the time to learn them so you can communicate and move smoothly as a team. Observe crucial markings on buildings so you can call it out to your team mates and work better as a squad. For example, if you see an enemy run into a small cafe, be sure to alert your team there's enemies in the small cafe to the north.



5. Communicate.

Use your voice communication to call out enemy positions and direction to keep your entire team informed as what's happening around them. Communication is the key to victory, so watch your kill cam, which shows the perspective of the killer when he killed you so that you can possibly call out key sniper positions or where the enemy is holding up. Simple yet efficient.

6. Silent kills mean better kills.

Remember, if you come up behind several unsuspecting enemies, don't give away the element of surprise by opening fire and alerting the rest, use your Knife melee to get some swift and silent kills so you don't make a noise and don't show up on radar.

7. Use your perks sensibly.

You know you have Perks in multiplayer, which allow you special abilities, use them wisely depends on the game type or map your on. You can save up to 5 custom classes at a time, which you should use to secure a specialized class for each major game type you play. If you're playing Team Death match where kills mean victory then maybe take the Bandolier perk so you have extra ammo or Stopping Power for increased bullet damage. If you're playing Domination or an objective gametype, maybe take Extreme Conditioning which gives you extended sprint so you can get the objective faster than the enemy.



8. Always stay moving and in cover.

Use your aptitude to sprint to transverse wide open spaces and get cover, never stay in one spot too long especially after a kill because all enemies will be converging on your spot. Sprint is limited as you'll get tired, so use it wisely and to get out of a sticky situation.

9. Explosives are your best friends.

Taking an M203 or Claymores out to the fight with you can make a huge difference in Objective game types. If playing Headquarters, once you've taken over the HQ and are defending, set up Claymores around the major doorways to do the work for you while you watch your six. Or put some M203 rounds down range onto an objective to keep enemies from camping on it and capturing it.
