one thing to add for proning/jump-proning is to avoid doing it when back is to wall because you’ll get Prone-blocked. sucks when it happens. also, works best in grass.
Good point, make sure you have room prone before you try to strafe jump. If you don’t have room to prone you still can always just do the sprint+jump but it won’t be as effective. Going prone in grassy areas can be a mixed blessing. On the one hand you are harder to see, but on the other it is harder for you to see over all that grass. If you do go prone in grass make sure you already know exactly where your target is.
I find that going prone in long-range encounters leads to a greater incidence of being shot in the head. When prone and facing your enemy, the foremost target they can see is your head with your body behind that… Therefore if they hit you at all it is much more likely to kill straight away.
@ Citizen_Erased: Luckily (?) most weapons won’t kill with a headshot, so I’ll have to disagree.
don’t go prone, if your in sniper lane… like Crossfire, cos it makes you alot easier to kil… crouch and move left and right… xD
verry good advice HoucK i love it when people go prone hopeing to evade me, its just like going in to last stand… such an easy headshot
HoucK,, you could also snake it across. Run crouch prone, run crouch prone. mix that up a lil and he wont get ya
I do this all the time and find it very effective, espically in close range when my opponent is shellin out bullets at me from an mp5 and i have a m16, i strafe jump to the nearest cover and pop out real fast and put a burst in his face
nice help houcK
Strafe Jump is differnt than the prone jump you mentioned. A strafe Jump lets you jump further than normal. Its a great way to make it to soo many more places you never thought you could get to. Many distance jumps you can only get to in oldschool, you can get to with a strafe jump in normal. Sprint, turn about 60 deg and jump right away and you have more hops.
2 things;
- going near grassy bushes (like those outside broadcast suicide lobby or all over creek, they’re on almost every map) makes a rustling sound…which will give away your position,
- strafe jumpiing/dolphin diving is good for perpendicular corridors, the noobs with their P90’s will be camping the wall waiting for you to walk past. you jump past the wall and kill them, easy. however whilst going from jump to prone you cannot shoot making you vunerable, however; if you crouch then you can get some shots off in crouch and it will make getting to prove faster. I’ve been a dolphin (strafe jumper) for 2 months and scores are 2-4:1 (which is nice) and i’m killing the P90 noob’s before i touch the floor. (yay)
you mean p-noobies not p-90s…. owns every day… except weekends…… ha
instead of jumping, holding down me and tapping trigger ( shotgun ) i run, hold down b, hold down the trigger (only 1 shot) then start tapping b :p need a bit more practice.
holding down b*
errrrr;
holding down b*
Controller settings: Tactical
Dropshot like nothing…
it’s not whining, hoppers suck. a lot of the info here rocks, but calling hopping a strategy I’ll have to disagree with. yes, it works; yes, it’s very very gay. COD4 is refreshingly realistic until you see homo’s jumping all over the place like trampoline fags. I’d like to see them try hopping around in a real firefight
and see how long they last-not very long, I can assure you
well all in all, its a video game. if hopping gives you the upperhand, then so be it. you do whatever you have to to get kills.
uhm, ” in a real firefight” uhm, I think if someone was shooting at me in real life, I would probably be jumping all around… considering that you are actually wrong…
Not all P-90 users are P-noobies….. I use a silenced P-90 with overkill and an ACOG M40a3, and Im usually in between 4th and 1st in TDM games.
And an afterthought, if a P-nooby is camping a door or corner, stun grenade through the door or around the corner and *BOOM* pretty light, rush in and blow ‘em away.
anybody got some good controls other than the default ones for this move?
different controller setup?
i like apples on cranberries with nuts
??? ??? ??… ????? ????????? ? ??????????? ?? ?????? ?? ????
umm if you stun or flash… they know ur gunna rush. so they just spray i dont know how you didnt figure that out yet……..
Instead of focusing on evading bullets, focus on shooting. This will get you the win most of the time. oh and it is a good idea to use this method when getting behind an object for cover while hurt, then throwing a flash or stun grenade and peaking OR using an object such as a truck to shoot underneath.
I am yet to try this strategy, would anyone recommend using the scroll wheel to crouch/prone with a shotgun, my shotgun is my friend although i was on a server the other day and the dude was just hatin me because i was using it(its not the auto shotty just so you know)
@anonymous LOL ill have to disagree with you, most information here sucks balls. strafe jumping is nothing like what the moderator of this retard site describes it, and hopping then laying (in mid air-IMPOSSIBLE) will only get you killed faster. ‘yeah guys! im gonna give my enemy a 100% accuracy chance to hit me in my friggen FACE!’ PSN ‘A-Glitching-Guy’ rant and flare all you want, its the truth.
If someone shoots at you midrange go prone and shoot at same time..also when you see someone start shooting by hipfiring and keep firing while your going to scope to get max number of shots.
