(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As an avid black ops player I thought I would share some things that I found helpful in getting the most out of each match I play.

These are not ranked by importance.

1. Pro Perk Glitch - I know this has been posted a million times but everyone should be doing it. It is very simple and if you get creative with copying classes you can really make just about any combination of pro perks by level 14.

2. Prestige Money Trick - Again, it has been posted many times but starting at '1' with 30k in cod money is a huge advantage, especially when using tip#1.

3. Two base classes.
3.1 ghost pro/warlord/hacker/silencer
3.2 hardline or lightweight/sleight of hand/marathon pro class.

4. For guns, it is impossible to beat the versatility of the famas. In my opinion it should be your gun of choice. That being said, the players that have serious skill can dominate by using just about any combo of perks and guns.

5. Kill streaks. As a general rule of thumb, you should be getting your highest kill streak at least once every 3 games. There is no point in having high kill streaks when you never get them. If you find yourself hitting your highest kill streak and getting a few more kills, switch to the big ones.

6. Semtex nades are the better choice unless you have mad skill at cooking the frags, if so, use those.

7. Secondary. Use the Strela. Unless you are sniping or using the shotgun the secondary weapon should never be out. Unless you have a Strela. There is nothing more frustrating/satisfying (depending on how you look at it) than a heinz or chopper gunner go down without landing a single kill.

8. Points. HQ - Demo - Domination - S& -
These are the games that will make you level up quick. S& is good for the more skilled players, if you die too much your points as an aggregate go up slowly. Demo is good if you have a full squad and can push the time limit to the max. HQ is good if you are playing alone or in a small party. And when double XP is on, HQ is the only spot to be.

9. Concussion grenades should be used in CTF. It slows the flag carry to a virtual halt. As well from my own experience I will still kill you if you flash me, if I get concussed and the shot is not straight on, I die. Decoys are only useful in random strategic situations.

10. Turn your sensitivity up. Most people play with their sensitivity way too low. Turn it up, suck it up and get used to it. It'll save your life someday.

I hope this has been useful to a few of you out there.
