Call of Duty Wiki:Ask A Veteran

Ask A Veteran is a way for players new to a particular Call of Duty game, or simply have a question, to find their answers from an experienced gamer.

Goals

 * To help new or inexperienced players find a more veteran gamer to help answer a question or teach tactics
 * Work to write a series of weapons' guides for the Call of Duty series

Policies

 * Keep it polite, follow COD:UTP.
 * Don't ask stupid questions (i.e. "Why do grenade launchers do more damage than a pistol?") that are common sense. Questions about weapon damage values are fine (i.e. "Does the SCAR-H do more damage at long-range than the M16A4?") because they're sensible.
 * Don't answer if you don't know what you're talking about.
 * Take the question "Does the SCAR-H do more damage at long-range than the M16A4?", a good answer would be "No, the damage multipliers for both weapons are identical at all ranges." A bad answer would be "The SCAR uses a bigger bullet than the M16 so yeah." The purpose of Ask A Veteran is to provide intelligent, informed answers, based on in-game statistics.


 * Do not add yourself to either the Veteran or Experienced Players sections without proof that you have a moderate understanding of Call of Duty dynamics and tactics.
 * Do not add a guide without prior discussion, the purpose of this is to provide good answers from experience and knowledge, not a hastily-written or biased how-to guide.

Veterans
These are the most veteran players who provide answers from plenty of experience and an understanding of the dynamics of Call of Duty, please do not add yourself unless you can show you're an extremely experienced and skilled player

Experienced Players
These are experienced players who have played a good amount of Call of Duty but don't have quite the experience or knowledge of a true veteran, please do not add yourself unless you can show you've got a good amount of experience

Guides
These guides will serve as easy how-to articles for those who need help with using a particular weapon. Before creating a guide please discuss it on the talk page.
