How to Play Call of Duty Ghosts Multiplayer

Call of Duty Ghosts (COD Ghosts) has added more features in the usual multiplayer arena. For you to be able to dominate the online matches, you will have to master new strategies and techniques to become a COD: Ghosts pro player.

Edit Steps

Edit Part 1: Start Smart

1. Master the controls. COD Ghosts has a few extra nifty features that allow for a mix of maneuvers while playing online.
   
   
   
   • The usual moves such as running (left analog stick), aiming (left button), shooting (right trigger), and others are not changed. Even accessing the streak rewards can still be activated via d-pad. Viewing player stats and accessing the menu while in a multiplayer session stays untouched as well.
   
   
   • You can adjust your controller to your liking. For example, you will be able to transfer the shoot action to the left trigger if you prefer it that way. Almost all the buttons can be re-assigned with different actions.
   
   
   • Remember the run jump move from Black Ops 2? Well, it’s back and it’s been changed to run and slide. To execute this move, start-off running by holding down the right analog stick and pushing it forward. After a few seconds of running, press square (or B on the Xbox 360) to slide on your knees. Holding it down a bit more will make your player hit the ground.
   
   
   • Another cool feature in COD Ghosts is the ability to lean around corners. This can be done by going behind a wall. At its very edge, press the aim button (left button) and your player will lean out from behind the wall.
   
   
   
   


2. Play the campaign. Playing campaign will get you accustomed to the COD Ghosts controls, and immerses you in the story while doing so.
   
   
   
   
   
   • You can adjust the campaign’s difficulty setting. It’s recommended that you play in normal mode first, then advance to difficult mode for tougher AI enemies. Remember, practice makes for a good player.
   
   
   • If you want a more exciting way of practicing your skills with other players, you can also try playing Extinction mode. It is a co-op mode wherein online players try to survive wave after wave of aliens!
   
   
   
   


3. Play a private match. This is the best practice you could have before stepping in the multiplayer arena. Private matches can simulate an actual multiplayer session with AI enemies called bots.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • You can setup your private game to your preference. You can customize AI levels, weapons, maps, and even winning conditions.
   
   
   • Take advantage of this opportunity to get familiar with all the weapons available in COD Ghosts. Once you get them all figured out, you will easily be able to switch to your weapon of choice during an online match with real players.
   
   
   
   

Edit Part 2: Prepare for Multiplayer

1. Customize your appearance. One great way to stick out from other players is by giving your player its own identity. Thus, applying customization to your player gives you a sense of ownership.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • You can now choose your player’s gender, something that hasn’t been possible before.
   
   
   • There are a lots of customizable features in COD Ghosts; there are so many that some need to be unlocked first before you can access them.
   
   
   
   


2. Choose Proper Loadout. In COD Ghosts, you need squad points to unlock certain loadouts. The stronger loadouts are harder to unlock, so plan out what you want to buy later in the game.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • If you are unsure what attachment or equipment you want, try picking up scattered weapons from dead players and go try them out. By doing so, you can decide which loadout is best for you.
   
   
   • Choose the appropriate weapon that will complement your game style. When you play multiplayer for the first time, you will just have access to the basic weapons available on each sniper rifle, shotgun, and automatic rifle category. Make sure to choose a weapon that you think that can bring you a couple of rank ups until you get to unlock other weapons that you really prefer.
   
   
   • Don’t forget to select the most effective lethal/tactical equipment in your arsenal. Being effective of course still depends on how you choose to play. For example, using the motion sensor is definitely helpful for snipers, since it can alert them of approaching enemies.
   
   
   
   


3. Select Killstreak Rewards. Just like loadouts, higher tier killstreaks are unclockable with higher squad points. Match your killstreak rewards with the type of game play you have in mind.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • One of the killstreak rewards is summoning Riley, the guard dog that is also present in the game’s campaign mode. Riley can kill up to five enemies before bidding goodbye.
   
   
   • If you’re almost done completing a killstreak, make sure you go slowly and land a final kill to unlock a reward. There is no sense rushing and getting killed, as this just resets your killstreak.
   
   
   
   


4. Know your maps. There are 15 multiplayer maps (including the pre-order bonus DLC map) included in COD Ghosts. These maps are dynamic and designed to cater to different styles of playing.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Maps in COD Ghosts include a lot of interactive factors. There are collapsible walls, elevators, and other stuff that could definitely change the tie of the game. Use this element to your advantage.
   
   
   • Aside from interactive factors, there will also be maps with earthquakes and other environmental events that could actually hurt players (like drowning). Watch out for these events to prevent unnecessary fatalities.
   
   
   
   

Edit Part 3: Begin the Online Match

1. Find a game. Multiplayer has three game modes, namely Standard, Hardcore, and Clan vs Clan. Among the three, Standard and Hardcore are what you’re most likely to be familiar with. Clan vs Clan is a new addition, which requires you to register first in a COD Ghost app for access.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • After selecting a mode, you will then have to choose the kind of match that you would like to enter. Matches like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and other familiar online matches are still present in COD Ghosts.
   
   
   • There are new additions to online matches include Cranked, Blitz, Search and Rescue, and Hunted. Some of these matches are just spin-offs of old matches like Hunted, which is patterned to the old match called Headquarters.
   
   
   • For best squad points results, you may want to choose Team Tactical in Hardcore mode. However, if you want the most fun online experience with a decent amount of squad points, go choose Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Ground War.
   
   
   
   


2. Coordinate with your team. Unless you’re playing Free For All, which is a solo match, it is vital for you to communicate with your other teammates. Connect your headset and start chatting strategy with your team.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • You can invite or join your team’s party while in-game. his will make your communication with them more effective. You can later add them in your friends list if you find them cool to play with.
   
   
   • There’s a new feature in COD Ghosts multiplayer that is called Field Orders. This is a rather unique addition, for it happens randomly. Sometimes a downed enemy will drop a blue suitcase which you can pick up. This suitcase will have a “Field Order” for you to complete. If you manage to pull off the task, it is equivalent to a free kill streak!
   
   
   
   


3. Know your style. You should have known by now what your play style is. You could be a stealth killer or a rampage killer. Decide on which path you what to progress so that you can unlock perks that suit your playing style.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • For stealth type players, equip yourself with light weapons to get the perks under Stealth (Takedown, Blind Eye, Dead Silence, Incog, Of the Grid).
   
   
   • For all out rampage type players, you should have the perks under Resistance (Resilience, ICU, Focus, Tac Resist, Blast Shield). Choose high damage weapons and don’t worry about being loud and dangerous.
   
   
   • Some players choose the waiting game… the snipers. These players don’t move too much and just wait for their prey to cross their sniper rifle’s cross hair. Usually they also use the Stealth perks to avoid being spotted.
   
   
   
   


4. Keep track of the mini-map. As the game progresses, you will notice that enemy locations will be indicated in your mini-map screen. This can be helpful to sneak behind enemy lines and surprise them with a back attack.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • The mini-map will give you hints as to where the enemy’s respawn spots are. Just keep in mind that enemies will likely respawn to spots away from you or your teammates’ locations.
   
   
   • One way to maximize the use of the mini-map is when you deploy Sat Coms. Sat Coms reveal enemy locations in a certain range. Be careful though, enemies can use the perk Wiretap to hack into your Sat Coms and work against your team.
   
   
   • On tactical matches, keep tracking of the mini-map is very important. Not only it shows enemy locations, it also gives you the location of domination points, flag, and others.
   
   
   
   


5. Exploit the enemies’ weakness. Every class has its weakness. So once you learned the majority of your enemies’ class – it is time for you to switch on a different loadout that will likely to counter them.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Make sure you have loadouts for specific classes. One for stealth class, defender class, and sniper class. An example of exploiting weakness is when stealth class being effective against sniper class since they move quietly and could easily dodge long shots.
   
   
   
   


6. Use squad points wisely. As you might know by now, pretty much everything needs squad points to be unlocked. That being said, it is important for you to distribute these points accordingly.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Depending on your chosen class, unlock first the perks and equipments that are aligned to your class. For example, if you are working on your stealth class, start collecting squad points to unlock Dead Silence, as these will be very useful in your style of playing.
   
   
   • You could easily earn squad points by completing Operations. This is a list of simple tasks that you need to accomplish to earn extra squad points. An example of an Operation is to run for a certain distance.
   
   
   • 2 squad points are awarded to you by simply ranking up. This means that the better you play online, the faster you will earn squad points due to ranking. Use them wisely.
   
   
   
   


7. Keep on playing. You may start slowly but with constant multiplayer gaming, you will be an experienced player in no time. Learn the techniques and be with a strong team to make your progress faster and be in the big league battling it out with the big boys of COD Ghosts.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Long exposure with veteran players will surely sharpen your craft in playing online. You will definitely learn a thing or two from them.
   
   
   • Spending a lot of time playing online means you will be ranking up faster compared to those who just play casually. When you finally unlock high level perks and equipments – you will surely have an obvious edge against other online players.
   
   
   • Once you reach the highest rank, you can prestige your player; this is a big deal to COD players. Do this a couple of times and other players will acknowledge you as a Pro player.

How to Be Friendly

Friendly people are excited to meet new people, appear approachable to friends and acquaintances, and are the kind of people who can just start chatting up a person on an airplane, in line at the drug store, or when they’re stuck on the bus. Sound hard? It doesn’t have to be. Being friendly is all about making people feel comfortable in your orbit — like you actually like talking to them. So how do you pull it off?

Edit Steps

Edit Part One: Being Approachable

1. Smile more. You don’t have to give every person you see a huge grin to be more friendly. However, making a goal to smile at least 30% more on a daily basis, whether you’re smiling at people you know, complete strangers, or acquaintances who cross your path, will make you look like a much more approachable, friendly person. Remember when you passed that guy you met that one time and he looked in the other direction and pretended you didn’t exist? How did that make you feel? If you want people to feel good about talking to you, then you should smile more at them.
   
   
   
   • You can also make a goal of smiling more during the course of a conversation.
   
   
   
   


2. Have open body language. If you want people to feel like you’re approachable and open to talking to them, then you have to master open body language. Here are the things that you can do to make people want to talk to you more:
   
   
   
   
   
   • Keep your legs together instead of crossed
   
   
   • Have good posture instead of slouching
   
   
   • Keep your arms at your sides instead of crossing them
   
   
   • Lean forward toward other people
   
   
   
   


3. Drop the distractions. Another way to be friendlier is to notice everything that’s going on around you instead of trying to beat the new level of Candy Crush on your iPhone. If you’re tapping away at your phone, burying your nose in a book, staring at your computer, or even just picking at the paint on your fingernails, then people will think you have better things to do than to talk to them. Instead, look ahead, smile, and be ready for what the world has to offer you. You’ll be surprised by how many more people think you’re friendly and how quickly they come your way.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Tapping away at your cell phone is rude especially when you’re actively engaging in conversation with people.
   
   
   
   


4. Make eye contact. This is something you should work on whether you’re just saying hi to a person who is walking by or talking to someone face-to-face. You don’t have to stare into a person’s eyes 100% of the time to be friendly, but you should work on making as much eye contact as possible with people you’re talking to so that they feel like you care about them and that they’re actually worth your time.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • If you’re walking down a hallway and it’s just you and another person, why not look that person in the eyes and say hello instead of staring at the floor or pretending to be fascinated by your own fingernails?
   
   
   
   


5. Laugh easily. The ability to laugh easily is another trait of the friendly person. You don’t have to laugh at everything a person says or you may sound fake, but you should make an effort to laugh about 20% more, especially when people are trying to be funny, say something kind of funny, or just when you feel people need a boost of support and confidence. Laughing more will not only give your conversations more of a positive vibe, but the people around you — even the people who are just walking by — will see you as a more friendly person.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Laughing and smiling more? Now that’s a potent combo.
   
   
   
   

Edit Part Two: Mastering Friendly Conversation

1. Master small talk. Knowing how to make small talk will go a long way in making you more friendly. Maybe you have a hard time making small talk because you’re too busy, distracted, or just shy. But it’s not as hard as it sounds. All you have to do is make the person feel comfortable, find some common ground, and reveal a little bit about yourself. If you get more comfortable, then you can start digging deeper and discuss more personal issues.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Some people think that small talk is completely superficial, but it’s not. All good friendships and relationships start out with a bit of small talk. You can’t just jump in and talk to a new person about the meaning of life, can you?
   
   
   • You can even make small talk with your check out person just to be nice. Make a comment about the weather, say something about the addicting tasty guacamole you’re buying, or compliment that person’s jewelry. It’ll make you feel more positive and it’ll make your day go by faster.
   
   
   
   


2. Ask people questions about themselves. If you want to be friendly, then you have to show a real interest in people. They have to see that you really care about who they are, what they think, and what they do. If you want to be friendly, then you have to ask people a variety of simple questions that show them you care. You shouldn’t ask anything too personal or they might get offended, though; stick to some of the same topics first and move on from there once you know them better. Here are some great topics to try:^[1]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Pets
   
   
   • Favorite sports teams
   
   
   • Favorite hobbies
   
   
   • Favorite bands, books, or movies
   
   
   • Siblings
   
   
   • Weekend trips
   
   
   • School or work
   
   
   
   


3. Compliment others. Complimenting people — when you mean it — will make you seem and feel like a much more friendly person. Just a small compliment given at the right time will make people think, “He’s really nice!” and will make them feel more comfortable and happy to be in your presence. You don’t have to compliment anything too serious, especially at first, and you can just say something nice about the person’s jewelry, outfit, haircut, or even say that the person has a great sense of humor.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • When you’re talking to someone, ask yourself, what’s one awesome quality this person has that I would like to compliment? You should come up with one pretty quickly.
   
   
   
   


4. Use people’s names when you talk to them. This is a simple yet effective trick to making people like you more and to seem more friendly. If you use people’s names, you show them that you care about them and that you can really distinguish them as individuals. You don’t have to overdo it to get the point across. Just saying, “Hi, Ellen!” when you greet the person, or saying, “You’re completely right about that, Ashley,” in the course of a conversation will make you seem like a friendlier person.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • If a person you’ve just met tells you her name, using it once or twice throughout your conversation will make you remember it for next time.
   
   
   
   


5. Know when you’re giving people the cold shoulder. Some people are unfriendly without even realizing it. If someone has given you a big “Hi!” and is approaching you while slowing down, this is because that person wants to talk to you; if you just say “hey,” and keep walking, then you’ll look rude. You may think that you’re just giving off a neutral or a busy vibe, but that may often come off as unfriendly.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • If you don’t hold doors for people, smile at them when they smile at you, and avoid looking in the direction of people you don’t know even if they’re standing right next to you, then you’ll be looking rude without even knowing it.
   
   
   
   


6. Focus on the positive topics. When you are talking to people, try to stick to the uplifting stuff. Instead of complaining about work or school, talking about something bad that happened to you, or just generally being negative, you should mention something awesome that happened to you that week, something you’re looking forward to, or even something funny you saw on TV. Talking about more positive topics will make you seem more friendly in everyday conversation because you’ll look like a fun, upbeat person that other people want to talk to.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to avoid discussing unpleasant topics throughout the course of a conversation.
   
   
   • Sure, if something terrible happened to you or if you really feel like griping, go for it. But try to say at least three positive things for every one negative thing so you still seem like a positive person.
   
   
   
   


7. Open up. Part of being friendly is making yourself a little bit vulnerable and sharing something about yourself with others. You don’t have to reveal your deepest, darkest secrets, either. Mentioning something slightly embarrassing, goofy, or just offbeat will have a winning effect on people and will make them think that you don’t take yourself too seriously and that you’re comfortable talking to other people. Here are some things you can open up about:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Childhood pets
   
   
   • Wacky vacations
   
   
   • The prank you played on your sister
   
   
   • A funny mistake you made
   
   
   • Something you’ve always wanted to do
   
   
   • Your experience doing something offbeat for the first time
   
   
   • A story about your family
   
   
   
   

Edit Part Three: Kicking Up Your Social Game

1. Make an effort to talk to new people. This is another cornerstone of being more friendly. You may be really shy or you might just think that new people aren’t worth your time or that they all have something wrong with them. Well that changes today! Start making conversation with strangers sitting next to you on the plane, people at parties, or friends of friends that you run into. Make sure you read the situation and that the person actually wants to talk to someone new, and then proceed with a big smile on your face.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • You don’t have to talk to every new person who comes your way, but the more you do it, the more comfortable you’ll feel.
   
   
   • Introduce yourself to people you don’t know. If you’re in a group of friends and a new person who other people know comes on the scene, take the initiative.
   
   
   
   


2. Give more invitations. Part of being more friendly means showing that you want to spend more time with other people. How do you do that? You invite them to do stuff. Start small by inviting a group of people to a movie, a free concert, or to grab coffee or ice cream some time, and see how much friendlier you feel after they eagerly accept your invitation. Make a goal of inviting people to do more things with you at least once a week and you’ll be living a more friendly life.^[2]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Get brave. Invite acquaintances to hang out one on one and turn your acquaintance into a real friendship.
   
   
   • Throw a party. Invite an eclectic crowd of people and have fun introducing them to each other.
   
   
   
   


3. Accept more invitations. Another way to be more friendly is to say yes when people ask you to do stuff. You may be afraid of hanging out with people you don’t know that well, you may be too busy, or you may just prefer to hang out with yourself, a bowl of Cherry Garcia ice cream, and Snookums, your pet ferret. But you have to get over all that if you want to be friendly and start accepting people’s invitations to go to the movies, dinner, or to a party.^[3]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • You don’t have to say yes to something that sounds completely horrible. But the next time you really want to say no, ask yourself what is behind your impulse. Are you afraid of something new? Socially anxious? Or just feeling lazy? These aren’t the greatest reasons to miss out on a good time.
   
   
   
   


4. Have a bustling social life. If you want to be more friendly, then you have to spend more time with your friends. Spending more time around other people will make you be a more socially aware and sensitive person who is used to talking to other people. You should try to fill your calendar with parties, social engagements, group hiking, biking, or swimming trips, and other fun friend-filled outings if you want to be more friendly more regularly.^[4]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • To have a bustling social life, you have to make your social life a priority. Don’t let work, school, or other commitments get in your way — not too much, at least.
   
   
   • It’s important to have a busy social life, but you should also remember to save some time for yourself. You’ll need to decompress, especially if you’re not used to spending so much time around other people.
   
   
   
   


5. Practice being friendlier to people you don’t like. This may be a tough pill to swallow. You don’t have to become BFF with your greatest enemy to work on being more friendly to people in your orbit — whether it’s your uptight math teacher, your crotchety uncle, or that kind-of quiet girl who is on the fringes of your social circle. You’ll feel surprised by how good you’ll feel about being nicer to someone instead of giving the cold shoulder, and that person may surprise with friendliness in return.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Make a list of five people that you have always treated sort of coldly. Find ways to be nice to each of these people — if you think they deserve it.
   
   
   
   


6. Overcome your insecurities. Part of the reason that you may not be the most friendly person in the world might be because you’re lacking confidence and think that people will judge you any time you open your mouth. Ask yourself what lies behind your distrust or coldness to other people and see if it has to do more with what you think of yourself. If that’s the case, then work on loving the person who you are, loving what you do, and addressing the flaws that need some work.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Of course, overcoming your insecurities can take years of hard work, but recognizing this as one of the sources of your problem with being friendly can make you be more willing to be nice to others. Remember that they may be just as insecure as you are, maybe more.
   
   
   
   


7. Befriend people of your age and stage. “Age and stage” refers not only to the age of a person, but to the stage of life that person is in. A stage of life could be being a college student, being a young professional, being a middle-aged mother, or being an older person who spends more time alone. Finding people who are around your age and your stage will make you more likely to find time to hang out and will give you more things to talk about.^[5]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • So, for example, if you’re a young mother, join a young mothers group and you’ll be on the way to making some amazing new friends.
   
   
   
   


8. Show a genuine interest in people. This is the key to not just looking friendly, but to actually being a friendly person. A real friendly person actually cares about others and wants to make them feel comfortable. A real friendly person is concerned when others are upset and uplifted when others are happy; a real friendly person doesn’t talk to people just to look cooler or to have more Facebook friends. If you really want to be friendly, then you have to remember this whenever you talk to people. If you actually care about them — they will be able to tell.^[6]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Of course, you can’t possibly take an interest in everyone in your orbit. But the more you try to be nice to people, the more natural it will feel.
   
   
   • Remember that being friendly has nothing to do with being fake. And that it has everything to do with being more approachable, treating people with respect, and giving off a positive energy.
   
   
   
   

Edit Tips

• Never be rude or insulting.


• Always be polite!


• Look at yourself in the mirror and think positive thoughts about your appearance. If you like yourself, others will too.


• Try to use people’s names. A hint for remembering names is to repeat their name every time you see the person.


• Make a conscious decision to like people you meet. – It will produce positive verbal and body language that will bring the best out of people. (People are as friendly as you are.)


• Never tell anyone your problems. – Long after you’ve resolved your issues, others will remember and there is then the possibility they will be relayed.


• Don’t be shy. Say hello to people you haven’t talked to in a while. Just keep in touch; it will be appreciated.


• Be yourself; don’t be ashamed of who you are and always give a friendly smile to people.

Edit Warnings

• If you are overly friendly, you could end up just seeming plain creepy. This will just scare people off.


• Be careful with your sense of humor, though. Telling a joke which seems funny to you may not be funny to everyone else. It’s very easy to upset someone without realizing it. What you consider a joke or ‘banter’ can easily be offensive to someone else. This can cause you lots of problems in the work place or in social settings.
