I have been playing allot of S&D lately and have just gotten the knack a little. I actually own at all other games types but for many reasons S&D just made me frustrated, mainly because of the jeers i received from people for sucking so bad. I just could not understand why I could not get kills or win the game for my team when I was last person, which I was frequently for fear of moving around. I am still not the greatest (I fully intend to be soon) but I know somethings that have helped me not suck and to even rock occasionally.
The first thing I noticed that helped to improve my search and destroy game was the importance of sound observation. Unlike regular matches and game types in MW2 sound is ultra important, there are less sounds, explosions, aircraft, nades and footsteps in search so most footsteps you hear will be those of someone coming to kill you. More and more people are using turtle beach headphones (which can hear you no matter what perk you use, Ninja makes you more quiet but still audible to turtle beach users. Search has created a new form of SOUND whore or camper who sits and listens for reloads, footsteps, bush rattles, ground surface sounds and weapon changes and then sneaks up on the sound and deads it. SOUND IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT IN SEARCH AND DESTOY, SILENCERS ARE A MUST FOR THOSE WHO MOVE AROUND RARELY OR MORE THAN THE MOVE!!! You can go without a silencer if you move after the shot (I usually move to a spot where the spot I fired from is still visible because 6.5 times out of 10 when you fire late in a search match someone will be on their way to the spot where the sound came from. If the enemy has UAV on at the time of the shot up that number to 8 out of 10 times. You don't want to be there when they get there unless you have covered the most likely entrance with claymores and are watching the othr entry points.
Surround sound is also very good for getting kills in Search and. If you have Surround Sound make sure you are seated in the middle so you can tell which dirrection shots and footsteps, sounds really, come from and then give attention, go towards or away depending on whether you have bomb or not. I usually throw a flash towards the sound, if its a bomb site and I have the bomb, and then hightail it to the other bomb site and plant. Always remember to hide somewhere within sight of the bombsite where you can hear (more important than actual sight in Search) the tools come out to defuse the bomb. If their are multiple enemies when you plant a claymore on one of the entry points or by the bomb never hurt anything and then cover the other route with your selected weapon. Sometimes you can hear them coming and pick them off at a distance unless they have Ninja like you should. It is always best to hide and listen for the difusing and then rush out and kill them for the win or to let the count-down continue for the win.
