Heh. Like I said before, I haven't played a combat multiplayer game in a LONG time (since GoldenEye). I think I put in a couple of hours on a HALO game once on a relative's XBox.
Haven't bought MW3 yet, but I thought I'd give it a try in one of the older COD games I already have. I ran several maps on the Combat Training free-for-all mode of Black Ops. There's going to be a steep learning curve on this. I got beat-up pretty good by the AI ... got some kills in, but I'm not to the point of actually having a strategy yet. I'm running about 2:1 deaths:kills against the AI, and I figure live play would be significantly more grueling.
Still not sure what my "play style" is. So far, its run-and-gun with an M16 or MP5, which is a bit haphazard. Haven't tried sniping yet. Still getting used to the killstreak options ... though I'm getting more practice with deathstreaks than killstreaks.
I'll figure this thing out yet. If I'm wanting to eventually get into MW3 ... is it better to practice on BOps or MW2? BOps seems to have a better practice mode.
