Hi everyone. For context I've never played any CoD game. I was lucky I found this one on steam and so far I've been having fun. For context on FPS experience, I've played overwatch for almost a good 500 hours worth and I played the knock off Roblox version of COD called Phantom Forces years ago. I reached level 143.

Despite all that experience I find myself struggling a lot to improve.

I have a lot of questions if you guys are willing to help a new 2-day old player out!

How do you win more gun fights? I feel as if it takes me a lot of bullets to kill 1 person in a 1v1, but they win with 2. It gets frustrating especially seeing how poorly I performed, and I want to know how to do as much damage as the high level players (I'm only level 27 haha). Do they strictly aim for the head? If so, are there any tips to play?

For sensitivity, whats the best sensitivity to play in? I currently use the default 8.00 and I have a logitech mouse with 1600 DPI. Unsure if the high sensitivity is a good thing but I figured to keep it that way so I can turn around if needed. It feels like a fast paced game so putting it to 2 feels really off. (My OW sensitivity was 3.25 but CoD does it differently i guess?) is there a recommended sens if you have high DPI?

(Gunfight related again) How do you do head glitching and strafing? Maybe its really just how the game is but I feel slow when I strafe. I'm unsure if I'm supposed to do it while ADSing but it would help to have tips on strafing more effectively (I strafe into cover but I still end up dying in what feels like nanoseconds)

(added question): how do you guys prefer to play the game? Something aggressive like running head on, sliding when you see an enemy, or do you play safe and cautious? Something like not sprinting often and playing similar to counter strike?

Thank you so much!

What is the state of the game currently for those who still actively play game. I mostly want to how abundant the cheaters are, it seems like this cod out of all has the weirdest cheats. First it was glitched guns, now one kill nukes and likely wall hackers. How common is it to encounters these types of players. Mostly other playlist and anything but the snd playlist because that's its own cesspit

I played the OG MW2 and streaks could absolutely be oppressive sometimes, not going to deny it. I don’t think streaks in any COD have ever been as powerful as the 5-7-12 combo where the predator will often get you the harrier, the harrier literally contains the precision air strike 6 streak within it, and is basically as powerful as the overwatch helos in the new CODs, and then the 12 is either the Ass-Clapper 130 if you’re an ethical gamer or the Chopper Gunner if you’re not.

Nothing like that exists in the modern CODs. The Cruise Missile is six kills and it’s harder to use than the Predator was. The equivalent of the Harrier is the 9 kill overwatch helos. You know what was 9 kills in MW2? The Pave Low, which needed two stinger missiles to be taken down. And no one was taking down streaks in the old days.

We’re in the SBMM era with spawn protection. Let killstreaks stack on the (larger) MW2 maps. It’ll be fine.
