User blog:Bombwich/My first blog post/ How I got a Tactical Nuke.

Hello there! I am Bombwich with my first blog post (I am new to this) and I am going to give you some advice on how to get a Tactical Nuke.

Introduction (Skippable)
Many months ago in a far far away galaxy I made a bet with my friends. It was "whoever earns a nuke first, deserves 4 bags of chips" he said. So, it was like a race against time, I had to get one fast. My comrades are quite good at the game, sometimes getting a lucky seven killstreak. I (after 13 rounds without Nuke) decided to search a nice tutorial of how to get one. However, every video I saw was about:

-Camp in a place where you can easily defend yourself.

-Boost

-A guy providing no tips. Only talking about how was his day.

The problems were that I do not camp and I am against boosters. So, tough luck. I being a veteran player couldn't believe it would take 1 month to finally earn one, after like 8 months of the game initial release.

So because there isn't a tutorial for rushers or an actual tutorial instead of a diary. I made one for you.

The basics
First off, Modern Warfare 2 is basically hard to earn a 7 killstreak without being buzzkilled by a Tac Monkey, Noob-tuber, Thermal imaging sniper or a Commando user. It is not something everyone can earn (at least not fast)

The planets must align and here are the factors you must take in note BEFORE you try for a nuke.

-Check if UAV's are constantly raining.

-See if there are One Man Army noob tubers

- See if there is a SAM- Turret in the lobby (A guy who takes down anything within seconds of the announcer's mention.

If these factors apply, then DO NOT GO FOR A NUKE. Buzzkills are made by these guys primarily and the SAM-Turret will destroy all your killstreak rewards fast.

Tips
Learn the maps and see were are the traditional camping spots, claymore spots, and sniper spots. Also check for unused routes.

If using Scavenger, use your equipment freely. You can get another grenade/knife/C4/Claymore/Semtex if you kill your victim or his boyfriend or both. If you have it Pro, you can also use your ammo freely without caring for it running dry.

Careful with Heart-beat sensors!

If using Sit-rep you can also spot tactical insertions or C4's your victim is using to get revenge of ambush you.

Also know where Semtex or frags will be commonly thrown.

If using One Man Army correctly. Remember to perform a One Man Army reload after a battle or in a hidden place to avoid running out of ammo in the middle of a firefight.

Use either 11 Killstreak you like. Both the Ac-130 and Chopper Gunner have good points.

Control yourself! If you feel you are getting nervous, relax. Find a good place to hide and take a deep breath and let yourself be relaxed. It horribly affects your accuracy. Besides, its just a game.

Finally, learn when to stop. If you failed too much times, forget about it and try to get your Nuclear Strike another day.

The OMA way
No, its not using One Man Army + Danger Close + Commando, at least not in my case.

This tactics didn't provided a Nuke, but it was because of either everyone was conveniently covered when I released my Ac-130 or Chopper Gunner and were destroyed after 8 kills.

Have ALL your classes with One Man Army but with different perk selection and weapon.

One with Cold-Blooded for the UAV and other killstreak rewards, one with Hardline to switch at after 5 kills and one with Danger Close Pro to make the Chopper Gunner better are 3 important ones you must have with you selection.

The silent sniper way (only for Wasteland)
This was the tactic which gave me my Nuke. If you want the load-out, here it is:

M21 EBR silenced, Fall camouflage

Desert Eagles Akimbo

Throwing Knife

Marathon Pro

Stopping Power Pro

Steady Aim Pro (because of Desert Eagles)

With it, I achieved my goal. Stay in the sides of the map to avoid being spotted and feel free to snipe whoever you see. Your silencer prevents your failed shots to become your death and your desert eagles allows you to defend yourself in Close Quarter Combat. Once you get your Harriers and Ac-130/Chopper Gunner, retreat to your teammates or go to a desolated place NOBODY will search or be heading to and earn those 14 kills!

The lucky way
Its when you use your everyday class and manage to get 7 kills without dying. This often happens when you don't have your nuke equipped or the killstreak rewards for it. Still, luck can smile at you and decide to give you your Tactical nuke.
