A few people asked for this to be created and so here we go.
Trusting everyone has their copy now, so let the fun begin tonight.
I, along with several others will be on Xbox but i know some are Ps3, but its the same game so no point in two threads!

One of the easiest ways is to put Hardline on then get enough kills for the Predator
Stay alive and drop it - guaranteed 1-3 kills
Should get you quite quickly to the 6 Kill reward - Harrier strike with hovering harriers, gets about 5-10 kills easily
From there call in either the Pavelow, or wait a while and call the Chopper Gunner/AC130
Helps me get 20+ killstreaks

I want to know as well. My guess is that they rack up enough kills to get a chopper gunner or ac130 to take control and then mow as many people down. My question is how they manage to get the kill streaks that high.
Camping isn't advised as theres so many areas where they can get you from different sides. Or flushed out by noobtubers and grenades.
So this leaves me with one other conclusion: They're practiciing deathmatch where things are more hectic and people have to really keep an eye out on surroundings less they want to die. I suppose.
I don't go for hardline as i never get enough kills to get anything more then a predator missle. Perhaps i need more practice or perhaps IF THE OPPOSITION WOULDN'T FIGHT LIKE POO EATING COWARDS AND CHOOSE NOOBTUBES, SNIPER RIFLES, AIM BOTS, CAMPED OR SHOOT ME IN THE BACK!
How the hell do they get such a massive kill streak? I barely get 4!
edit: anyone seen this and the second episode its just brilliant.
the online gamer
I'm up to level 63 and have to agree that the Lightweight/Marathon combination is an incredible one, however, I'd suggest a pistol with a tactical knife instead of the PP2000 if you're going down that route
I used to use that class a lot, except with Rangers as I couldn't be bothered to unlock the tactical knife (I don't like using pistols), but now I prefer this loadout:
Primary: ACR - Ridiculously steady gun, decent rate and damage also - with ACOG scope (due to being so steady, it doesn't just jump around and miss entirely, like the SCAR, for example)
Secondary : M1014 - this shotgun is incredible! faster than the SPAS but the same power - love it
Perk 1: Marathon Pro - Can't do without my infinite sprint!
Perk 2: Hardline Pro - The killstreak reduction is useful, and I'm not going for an all-out sprinting class
Perk 3: Commando Pro - Partly for the knife but mainly so I can climb faster and take no fall damage
I think I need to raise an issue with the Prestige - Driving License analogy. Fair enough, I understand what you're saying in that you want to keep playing the game with the guns/perks etc you've unlocked during the course of it, and there is little to be gained except the cross next to your name. I can agree that if you're playing just to get and use the best guns, this is the way forward
However, Prestiging isn't just a cross, it's essentially a way to play through the game again many times. And for me, that's what's great. Yes, you lose your guns, but you move up through the ranks again much quicker, have the chance to unlock everything again etc. It is a lot of effort, I suppose, if you enjoy using the higher level guns. But not doing it makes the game pointless to me. I enjoy playing for the fun of the game, but a lot of the fun is gaining ranks and weapons
As for the analogy itself, you pass the test to get a driving license so that you can drive. It's something you want/need so you can transport yourself to work/out without public transport or lifts. Gaining rank 70 in COD means you've got the best guns, but it doesn't mean that was the whole point of you playing the game. I, for one, am not just looking at making rank 70 as it shortens the whole game. After all, you can still make rank 70 on the first prestige and then stop for a while with the better guns!
