Quicker experience
To level up faster than usual, try to use the same gun until all the marksman and elite challenges are completed. They provide huge boosts and will
quickly level you up to get new guns. However, do not use those guns yet; just keep on the challenge until it has completed. The third phase of the
challenge usually ends with 1,000 experience points, which usually increases you a rank in itself. Also, do not forget about the strange challenges
like jumping 15 feet and surviving or falling 30 feet to your death. To complete the fall 30 feet to your death challenge if not previously unlocked,
play the "Countdown" map, and jump into one of the open missile silos. You will get instant experience points for simply dying. Also, remember to
go prone and crouch to get those challenges as well.
Better accuracy
Once you get the Red Dot Scope add-on to your weapons, use it over the ACOG scope. The red dot will not enhance or take away anything and provides a
better aim point on most weapons. The ACOG scope will actually add more range to your weapon, but take away accuracy which accomplishes almost nothing,
especially for snipers because it takes away range and adds nothing.
Better sniping
If a target is moving, make sure to lead it. If you are not making shots, try to lead your target more. Also, if you are a skilled sniper, try using the
M40A3 over the M21. It has a slower reload time and rate of fire, but it has enough damage to kill a target in one shot instead of two or three. It also
allows you to be less noticeable with less rounds being fired so someone else cannot follow the tracer shot back to you. A good setup for the sniper is
the Claymore Perk to alert you when an enemy is trying to close in on your rear, and either the Sleight Of Hand or Stopping Power, then Iron Lungs to give you more time to line up your shots.
One Shot, One Kill: Canine Help
When you are on the mission where you have to carry your captain (when you are in the Ghillie Suits),you will find abandoned swimming pool with some rabid dogs at the bottom.
Do not kill them. Just run around the edge and do not fall in. When you drop your captain off behind the Ferris wheel and both of you get into position, there will be a patrol after you.
When your captain tells you to open fire with your sniper rifle, shoot anyone on the left side, closest to the building with the pool in it. Everyone will hit the deck after one of their
teammates dies. The dogs will sense danger, jump out of the window, and start attacking the soldiers. This is helpful as at least four or five of the soldiers die. This also saves ammunition.
Crossfire: Sniping Location
The online Crossfire map has a very good sniping location. The spot can only be reached when you are playing the old school free 4 all section. The building at
the very end of the map on the opposite side of the bus. You can get to the very top of the building that is around the corner. First, get to the second story where the
chair is found. Get on the top of the chair facing the wall and jump. You may have to run and jump, but eventually you will catch an edge. You can then work your way up to the perfect sniping position.
