Whats the best game type to a) get a high Killstreak and b) get the qwickest experience for lvling up?

I have always played Team Deathmatch on COD4 and so far on MW2. Got a 27 streak in TDM on 4 and 24 on MW2 but i want a big Killstreak ( AKA a NUKE ) and I want 10th Prestige ASAP!

Headquarters i think.

Play a domination or headquarters game but play it like TD. Bit of a dick move as you'll team will probably lose but you can rack up the kills as people rush known locations that you can camp.

Saw my first nuke last night. Bit disappointing really. Didn't see a mushroom cloud just a white light and a big cloud of dust rushing toward me. Just a shame it wasn't me that called it.

In COD4 it was definately HQ or S&D, in MW2..

I've found Domination best so far, HQ still only gives you 10 points every few seconds for holding the HQ, which is between 10-20% of what you earn for kills anyway, in COD4 it was pretty much like getting a kill every few seconds even when dead from an XP point of view.

Only got online properly last night, only just unlocked S&D so I'll be playing that today to see how it compares points wise.

S&D is really disappointing points-wise. 50 points per kill, the same as COD4, whereas everything else is 10x the amount of points. Apparently they've done it to allow the "proper hardcore players" to play Hardcore S&D without having people annoying them just to get points etc. Whether that's true or not I have no idea.

I can understand the arguement for HQ (where it is a bit annoying if everyone just goes for kills and ignores the HQ) but with S&D wiping out the other team is just as valid as a tactic as waiting for them to plant the bomb then getting killed whilst trying to diffuse it, so what's the difference between a "Proper hardcore player" and anybody else who wants to play the game? I have to admit I always try and plant the bomb if I'm on the attacking side, but surely the object of the game as a defender is to wipe out the attacking side, so going for kills makes sense? Nice work IW.

More likely IW just didn't want some game modes to allow you to rack up the points quicker than others, which does make sense, but IMO a S&D kill is worth more than a FFA kill as you actually have to worry about getting killed with no respawns.

I like the way there is no real points advantage to a particular game type.

COD4, WAW i would always be on headquarters to get the points, i don't really like S&D (i hate to wait around).

On MW2 i seem to be playing much more TDM, which is what the game is designed for.

I tend to flick between TDM and ground War at the mo, GW can be a little to hectic whereas TDM can be a little slow, depends on my mood.

Ground war with domination you rack the kills bigtime in there.

People who do that are d.heads and yes that includes you if you do it. They just ruin the game for people who want to play it properly.

Nobody has obviously played demolition....

Favourite so far, loads of points to be gotten with 50xp for a kill and well the game can go on if there is only one bomb point left....playing last night was raking up 30-40 kills with only 10-15 deaths and then getting 2000-4000 match bonus plus any challenges....averaging around 6000-7000 xp last night.

got 14000 xp on one game.

Might have a crack at few different ones tonight then, try making my own mind up, i just want 10th prestige asap.

It depends on how you play it really though?

I always play HQ properly but i never camp myself in the HQ when we have captured it. I will go for it to try get the HQ but after that only and idiot imo will sit in the hq to defend it. You just leave yourself open for people to frag the arse off you.

Once we capture the HQ i play it like TDM as once it is captured the aim of the game is to stop the enemy capturing it there's nothing in the rules to say you can't run about and pick off all the idiots off the other side steaming in towards the hq expecting everyone on the other team still alive to be inside. You can then pick them off with ease and can get very high kill streaks.

Exactly how i play it and how it should be played imo

[Peew971]

I agree with both of you. Once you've captured the HQ you should play it as TDM. I'm complaining about those who don't care about capturing or destroying the HQ from the get go and just camp somewhere to rack up kills. Usually snipers but they're not the only ones.

It's surely still a valid tactic to camp a little when the hq is up for grabs, picking off the opposition whilst they are running towards the hq is only going to be good for your teammates as they will have an easier time capturing it.

I think he's more on about people who forget about the HQ all together and just play it like TDM from the off. Ie the HQ is over one side of the map and they run to the other and just go after killing people rather than protecting or trying to help capture the HQ at all.
