I had one incident while playing Team Deathmatch on Nuketown. I was at the top of a staircase. Dude walks up. I pop out of doorway and shoot him point-blank range with shotgun. I hear the shot and see my gun fire.
then he knifes me. on the killcam, i popped out and just stood there for at least 2 seconds, making it look like he just knifed one of the dummies propped up around the map.
that IS a lag issue, but a fucking stupid one. your issue...i don't even know. Treyarch dropped the ball on this shit...then again my old roommates complained of the same shit in MW2. and if i'm right, that was a different developer...yes?

Yea well, lag is an issue beyond my power of giving crappy hints I guess. By now you should have figured out what your playstyle is. I myself am someone who doesn't have the patience to stand at one spot for any longer than three seconds and will dash into oblivion afterwards... so submachine guns suit me fairly well(as well as most assault rifles). I don't know whta weapons are available to you, but the FAMAS and ak74u are VERY nOObfriendly, so that should work out. But if you like em or not, that's up to you. my fav weapon is the AUG with a reflex sight, and sleight od hand pro. Also, my number 1 one rule in CoD games: HUG THE WALLS 24/7!!!
Ok I can answer your question 2 ways. The legitimate way and the "LOL I JUST WANT KILLS" way
The way I play is I use the FAL as my main with a red dot site and the strella as my secondary and my perks are lightweight so I can move a bit faster though mostly because I can just jump off hills and live to escape. Slight of hand because im a huge ADS whore and hacker because I hate turning a corner and then getting owned by a sentry gun and then i use flash bangs semtex and claymores but what im getting at is fid your play style and be smart with your classes
Or
The "LOL IM SO PRO" way of playing witch is AKS74 with n00b tube or double tap and either the law/rpg or the ballistics knife then go with either recon/lightweight steady aim/hardened and either marathon/final stand and then just run around never ADS drop shot knife all the time and camp.

Look, you said you borrowed this game from a friend to get your feet wet with CoD. Black Ops is my first console CoD game, and, coming from a very heavy CS 1.6 and CS:S background of PC FPS, it was pretty difficult to make the transition to sticks, but I stuck with it and I'm holding my own. Everyone is giving you the same advice so you should listen up and realize that it's your negative attitude and assumption that everyone is doing something different than you that is the problem.ReservoirAngel said:
Knowing your way around is crucial in any game, not just FPS. If you get lost, then hold up for a second, get your bearings, and move on. You need to slow it down and think. You're not going to get any better looking for a fight. Remember this is only the latest in a slew of CoD games, and many of the people you are facing have been playing for a long time (even some of the shittier ones). Expect that you ARE going to die, so make the most of your time spent alive. Don't waste it making decisions that make you more likely to get shot.
And as to the debate whether you learn more by playing and studying others versus tips and tricks, I believe there is clearly a middle ground. A lot of things are common sense: use cover, don't stay in one spot too long, burst rather than spray, and yes, you can learn a lot about tactics from watching kill cams, too. But, also keep in mind that people learn in different ways. There's nothing wrong with trying to find out more in depth information that you might not have noticed yourself, or get suggestions for loadouts that might be easier to new comers.

R?Change your attitude. Slow it down. Relish the kills where you've outsmarted your opponent. Relax and try to have some fun instead of looking for what's wrong.
