We have a strategy for all other ops, right? Why not this. ._______.
I got inspired last night when we ran a group of mainly three and nailed 407. Here's what I think after doing the math.
1. No more than 4 on a team. Why? It maximizes outcome per match. Say we have three guys in A squad, who score 20 kills a game. Perhaps every match last 10 minutes. That's 6 matches an hour, so it's 120 kills an hour, for three hours is 360, easily. In a match with three people for 20 kills a piece, that's 60 kills, and the remaining 15 can come from the rift-raft we join in on. My preference, 3 to a team. 4 people can't score 20 kills a piece in one match. If we run two squads of three who get 360 kills a piece after the three hours, that's 2160 kills, an EASY gold, and a very high finish, since 407th was 1690 for us last night. And, as always, we will have people who average over 400 kills, like myself.
2. Don't play dumb. This is team deathmatch, you kill people. Camp if you need to, hold down a chokepoint, whatever is necessary to land you some kills. My preference, use a Sleight of Hand/Quickdraw pair. Also, if you have it, Steady aim pro works well, for the fact you can aim faster out of a sprint. A run n' gun pair wouldn't be so bad if you can play it, but whatever maximized your kills. I use Stalker pro, though.
3. Killstreaks, killsteaks, killstreaks. Set them to where you can get them easily. We don't need a Juggernaut or Osprey. Set them in 2 kill differentials, like 5-7-9. That works well, because the 9 killstreak has three of them for assault. My preference, Pred. Missile - Attack Heli - Strafe Run/AH-6. If you notice you have a five killstreak and you land a predator, DO NOT RUSH. Normally you wil get a double out of a predator because the other team is dim-witted, and that's an easy attack heli., then the heli. can net you two kills easily if they don't shoot it down, since nobody likes Blind Eye. If you run a Strafe Run, I recommend waiting for a few to see if someone lands a UAV, which they normally do. I do not recommend, however, support and specialist. Those normally don't land you extra kills.
4. Stay calm. When I get my blood pumping and I get angry, I play like shit. That's how I land my easy 5.00, and sometime 7.00 or 9.00 K/D's in a TDM game, I don't get adrenaline. When I die, it's just another opportunity to start fresh. I never rush the enemy, and I may be called a try hard for this, but I ALWAYS aim around corner. ALWAYS. You wouldn't believe the kills you get from it.
EDIT: If you use an automatic weapon, don't spray and pray. I always shoot, let off, shoot, let off. The G36C normally lands 4 shots in a 1 second trigger, an easy kill.
That pretty much sums this up. If you guys have any additions, go ahead and say them.
