I literally can’t play ground war...I’ll play slow and then the second I push anywhere I get mapped by someone or just get into stupid situations where I can do anything Idk what I do wrong but it’s so frustrating to play
exactly, I find ground war to be some hot trash honestly. I swear I mostly spend over half my time trying to find someone to shoot and then when I do get in the middle of a decent skirmish suddenly all enemies are gone and I'm back to running around trying to find someone to shoot again. I absolutely hate trying to spawn on an objective and you select 'B' for example and it spawns you outside 75 meters away from the objective conveniently in the sight lines of approaching enemies of the objective you wish to help defend!!!
I see comments like this is and I just don't understand. Ground war is the best thing I've ever seen in a COD game. 6v6 or 10v10 is just a snooze fest. Ground war is fast paced, good xp, suitable for pretty much all play styles. I rush around like a mad man on ground war and usually top 3 players. I feel like people aren't actually taking the time to learn the map and find good routes
It doesn't help that people blend in with their backdrop either. It's just a case of finding areas where people congregate, and getting to those positions without being spotted. On farmland I find it's always in the buildings next to and around B, but if the other team has C, they tend to camp that building as well. Tavorsk is pretty much at the top of any building but if not they tend to gravitate towards C, which is the same for the quarry, on the third floor of the two buildings facing each other that's connected by the bridge that C is on. The docks is pretty fun and I find C and B are always heavily contested.
@@LordAngelus 6v6 is a snooze fest in mw when the maps are huge with about a million windows and buildings and lines of sight. Shoot house is the only map thats enjoyable and that can get old real quick when you consider sbmm.
The problem I have is that when ever I play on tavorsk district I can never find anyone to snipe but when ever I go out side on the roof its always someone that finds me and snipe me and it pisses me off
The thing that annoys me most about GW is all the maps are linear. You go from A to B to C etc... in Battlefield sometimes A is close to E or F. Sometimes C D and E are in the middle of the map and A B F and G are near spawns. Point is on most Battlefield maps it is impossible to spawn lock. On MW spawn locking happens way too often and flanking is extremely difficult because objectives are all set up in a linear fashion.
I'm a battlefield player, but even I really struggle with ground war. There's just too much disorganised chaos, and too many kill streaks constantly going off. It's not a fun mode.
It's because Ground War is an inferior mode to Conquest. GW is lacking too many mechanics, features, and too many common sense things to make it a competitor to Conquest. There's no mechanic that incentivizes squad-based behavior, I'm not able to spawn on CPs that my team still actually possesses but might be in the process of losing, etc. I've primarily been a Battlefield player since CoD went on that advanced movement bs and GW just doesn't stack up to Conquest, which is why I don't find myself enjoying GW at all.
I’ve played a ton of ground war and I’ve done pretty decent. One thing I’ll add to this that I’ve seen people do is to not just sprint around the entire map. Try to stay between a few flags per life and control that area if there’s a lot of fighting there. Also flanking is super super important especially when your team is losing. PTFO!
Constantinia Smith the newest Battlefield sucks ass. This could just be me, but I just think that Battlefield gets very old very fast after like 30min-1hour of gameplay you’ll probably just get bored and quit because of how repetitive the game gets.
I swear I’m glowing bright neon on groundwar. I can’t even move 3 ft without getting blasted. Some people don’t even have scopes and they see me 500 ft away and drop me with an mp7.
@@pinesol1388 It's basically nothing unless you're using the 725 with slugs or the crossbow. Ground War is a really shitty Battlefield wannabe, with shit gameplay, shit vehicles, and the game fucking you over because your team would rather snipe people than play the objective.
@@Mr-Trox Battlefield V... Conquest... SPAWN THE WHOLE FUCKING TEAM IN ONE POINT SO THE FUCKING BOMBER CAN HIT ALL OF THEM AT ONCE... I DEALT 120 DAMAGE ON THE FUCKING ENEMY WITH AN STG... AND HE SHOT ME ON THE CHEST WITH A MODEL 27 AND I FUCKING DIED. THE FUCKING VEHICLES ARE UNCONTROLABLE... MG42 CAMPERS ALL OVER THE PLACE... DICE 'N' EA PUBLISHED A FUCKING HALF MADE TRIP SHOW... AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SAVE THAT SHITHOLE WITH THE JAPANS AND THE AMERICANS... BUT IT DOESN'T HELP.
When the match starts please don't grab a vehicle and go straight to A if we spawn on A side..use the vehicle to get a jump on the enemy and establish some early map control..go to the C flag at least or flank around them at D or E and get some easy kills..you can get full streaks a min into the match just off your opening route.
1) Due to so many players being on a team, there's almost always a UAV up. That means you'll show up on the map when you fire if you're not using a suppressor. 2) Understand that capping a flag blocks spawning, so hiding and contesting a flag while others fight can be far more helpful to the team. 3) Trophy systems are the fastest charging field upgrade, so there's really no reason to ever not use field upgrade pro with a trophy system as the backup to your primary choice. 4) Vehicles show up on the map for anyone with spotter while you drive them, and appear for everyone when you get out. If you suddenly see an empty ATV pop up on the map behind you, you should probably turn around. 5) Use killstreaks to break out entrenched enemies so that your team can capture a flag. Wheelsons and VTOLs have indirectly secured many, many flags.
If you're not using ghost in general, you're usually at a disadvantage. There's almost always a UAV up that probably has you unknowingly pinged on enemy radar.
Ground war pro tip. Always run an SMG or AR combined with a sniper. Killing those building campers is key when they are just picking you off at the spawn. So you need to counter snipe them often.
I stopped ground war bc I was getting overwhelmed by snipers, tanks & kill streaks but your view is very helpful. Thanks, I’ll keep trying it with that strategy in mind
Two tips: learn popular spots and build teammate awareness. There many power positions and spots people will take when capturing a flag as well as routes they can take to push the flags. Learn the corners people like to sit in, places that can be mantled, where they may come from to push you. Be aware of where your teammates are and if they get killed, who killed them. You can often see the tracers from the bullets and it’s easy to find who killed them. Also if your teammate got killed in an area, don’t blindly run into the same spot lol.
Screen shake is ridiculous in this game. I can barely aim when it happens with all the chaos. Also there is a bug where I couldn’t open field Pro even though my field upgrade was fully charged.???
Field tools but happens all the time but seems to have stopped a week ago or so. Also, somehow, those matches are always awful, then the tools won't work!
campos3452 JUST.. NERF.. CLUSTER STRIKE AND PRECISION AIRSTRIKE FUCKING SCREEN SHAKE. Everytime that happens in the same map as me i miss half my shots bcs i cant see shit. Its like someone coming behind me and shaking my head harshly nonstop.
DUDE, YES!!! That screen shaking is so fucking annoying man! Especially when I’m mounted on and going for challenges for camos. I get they were going for realism, but it’s just so irritating!
Joseph Paul Duffey no field pro bug is still in the game. It’s best to just run no pro field kit. It will not bug out. Also with field pro, there is a bug still in the game where you will use your tactical or lethal when trying to use field pro.
@@snipingskulls3306 i thought it was my controller tripping..i hate when i try use my field upgrade and i use one of my stim shots or throw a semtex and almost kill my self.
I only play ground war at the moment. And possibly the most important thing is to use the verticality. You gain such a big advantage when you are above your enemies
I feel like every player I meet in groundwar is a pc player. everybody knows where I am and as soon as i go out in the open, there's a sniper looking at me. Im lucky if i get a kill in this mode.
The key is to peek large open areas and move on quickly if you see no one. Also I carry a sniper on me pretty much all the time with overkill since there are very few sustained fights over flags and I don’t need EOD. I’m not good or anything but I’ve started being able to consistently find players and get at least 20 kills and not hate the experience. Snipe a lot and pay attention to where you spawn and where the areas are that are open for the enemy team to spawn into. Hope this helps! Also, you gotta suffer a little and die a lot so you can learn the spawns yourself.
Same here. I always go really negative when I try ground war. I'm more of a fast paced player and I just get dropped any time I try and get close to the action.
Lol stay inside brp, and here is a tip i never heard a video say.... Use corners, before u walk through a door you can see every angle outside piece by piece. Stay in cover when u run out, and be a badass.... Number one tip - Be A Badass, not a crybaby
I always run overkill with a longer range weapon on Ground War. On maps like Tavorsk or Verdansk, there's guaranteed to be snipers camping on rooftops. Dealing with them from afar is much less frustrating than going up stairs and ladders after them where claymores may be waiting.
Great video...I’m a COD vet but new to GW and have been frustrated. This video provided thorough and clear advice about “the big picture” and map control, something that a fan of Domination hadn’t really considered. I’ve actually watched this vid 2x. Thanks for cutting right to the chase, and not stuffing the first few mins on pimping your channel.
God damn ace, where to you find these enemies? I can’t get more than 3 kills without getting killed by a dude hiding in a building. This footage looks so fun. Also, u salty about being left behind from the helicopter😂
Ground war gameplay on RUclips and ground war in a normal game feel like 2 different worlds. In most normal games, I might be able to get 15 kills but most of the time I'm struggling to find enemies.
@@pantiesgonewild358 bruh ive been pulling hella games around 40-8 k/d in groundwar. Can literally get 2 guns per day in ground war but not even close in any other game mode. You control the games that you have but every match is just about the same
5:52 This is actually way more important than people realize and the way i learned it was f*cking hilarious. I had a squadmate who was named something like 'gravyjoe879' and as a joke i followed him around and watched his back and such, basically pretending to be obsessive. Anytime he died I'd avenge him. And in the end he helped me out too and we both dropped like 15+ kills
I love groundwar and I've noticed that I terms of flags the most important flags are the ones closest to your teams spawn. If you can keep control of that point and the enemy teams point it can quickly become difficult for the enemy team to get to exactly where they want to be. That and tactical insertion, super convenient to throw one down before trying to take a point. If you die quick not only do you know where the enemy is now but you can instantly get back in the action
i think thats not a good idea, there is glint on the scopes so playes can see that a sniper is aiming at them, if an enemy can see me without glint and then simply scope at where i am and kill me would be unfair
With the chopper, in the beginning don't fly up high right away, stay low. I get a BUNCH of doubles and triples (rocket launcher) early in the game from people taking off and going high. Another tip to add in is, be a team player, listen to call outs and the announcer. When there is a UAV or counter UAV, shoot it down as quickly as possible, it takes away the enemies advantage. On that note, I know high streaks are awesome, but always run either the UAV or Counter UAV, giving your team an advantage equals wins. My last thing, that really isn't a tip, just a gripe, we do not need HALF the team on a roof sniping. I have lost so many rounds where my teams has the most kills (because of sniping on the roofs) but we didn't hold any objectives. Holding the roofs is important but the objectives are far more important. Awesome video as always Ace!
For anyone who spawns as Alliance on Torvik District there are two crates to the rear of your spawn along a low wall (behind the temts). If you aim between them you can easily counter snipe the white tower to the left of coalition spawn. I found this out while doing the sniper scope retical unlocks.
I can't even count how many times I've been the sole target of a cruise missile. It's so annoying when they go for you and only you, rather than an objective or group of enemies.
I mostly play ground war, and I always play with my brother, he and/or I are ALWAYS the target of a cruise missile. We’re currently taking note of how many missiles target us whenever there’s one being used. I’m definitely switching to cold blooded once I finish my EOD mission...
If you are taking a wide flank, on any ground war map, you are a high priority target. why? because you can back cap a flag, spawn in a squad behind enemy lines, and if you do what I do all the time, you can place a tac insert in a smart place behind enemy lines providing your squad a constant back spawn location. If you are taking wide flanks, and people are not targeting you with killstreaks, then those people are stupid, and deserve to get back capped.
I’m a long time COD and BF player so this game mode in COD has been such a god send. It’s the only game mode I play. It’s just like BF but a little faster gameplay. Love this mode
Nothing comes close to BF3/4 conquest unfortunately. My own theory is that BF has destructible environments meaning you can get rid of a lot of camping.
Me: oh hell yeah brother CoD chaos with 64 players! Also me: jumps into a Ground War game and freezes right away because the game is chaotic beyond what my brain can process 😂
From my experience, as a mostly Ground War player, The best way to do good in Ground War is to commit to defending a zone if there are lots of enemies trying to go for it. Hold it for as long as you can, and if it doesn't work, change it up and go to a different zone. I've seen so many players treat Ground War as if it was a regular Domination mode where when they see a zone is being captured by an enemy they'll try to go to it no matter how far. Well guess what happens when they do that? They die on their way to that zone, so the enemy will probably capture it, and the zone that they left is being taken over. So many people complain about Ground War being so "Campy" yet the main objective of the game is to hold as many flags as possible. How are you supposed to hold a flag if you've got no player defending the zone lol. The reason why I love Ground War much better than the regular 6v6 or 10v10 game modes is that when you communicate with you squad and team, most of the time you'll win. It doesn't matter if you're geting 100s of kills.
Psssst. You can take out an IAV with an incendiary grenade launcher and the Fully Loaded perk for an extra round. Turn your M4 into a tank destroying machine!
I figured something out myself which is both great for getting camos, and maintaining stats, also for getting killstreak (scorestreak in this case) challenges completed. Firstly, you want to have Pointsman as your 2nd perk, and any launcher of choice. Then its as simple as sitting at the back of the map, in your spawn point next to the nearest ammo dump and just shoot down EVERYTHING. I have been doing this while going for launcher camos, and on a good game i can drop the highest streaks. And in one of my games I unlocked 12 camos, IN ONE GAME! Of course its dependant on how many streaks the enemy get.
Ive been playing GW since Cod4. It's always been my favorite game mode. Now with the addition of control points it's changed the dynamic of the mode entirely. It's a mess to try and control most of the points. But using the flanking routes is paramount to being effective. Especially when you see that your team cannot hold territories. Working in behind them to take out their snipers and to kill their vehicles before they make it into the action can be a HUGE help to your team.
As a previous battle field vet, I can 100% say that if you go for flags more than kills, and can capture them, even by yourself you can turn a match around. And flanking the enemy and capping their gimmy flag is called 'back-capping' and can really mess with the front lines if the enemy team cannot react fast enough. This is where I have an issue with CoD's map design for ground war. Not only is it difficult to move around the map from all of the spots snipers can camp and get kills from, but its also very slow to cap flags and move around the map without getting killed. BF4's map design was tuned so that a player can run from the A flag to the C flag in a somewhat fast pace, and often times could get there before other players on the team because they would cap the gimmy flag(A gimmy flag is a flag which is not heavily contested or fought over, something like the A and E flags.) which would let other players on the team rush the central flag and then that fight would determine the outcome of the match for the first bit. Obviously if the enemy team all does stupid-shit and dies, then the C flag can get capped easily, and then it'll switch roles, where instead of your team getting pushed back and dumpstered, you would be firing at enemies from the power position which was usually the C flag, sometimes if it wasn't directly on the C flag, it'd be near it, leading to some very fun game play because BF4's map design allowed counters for the power position if your team decided to go for it, and it would usually act as a mini-power position, where it had some good sight lines, but was easily countered. Most of the time the BF4 maps were big enough to allow for easy flanks around to the enemy gimmy flag, allowing for some good-ass back-caps and, in turn, an easier game because enemies would leave the front line to re-cap their gimmy flag, meaning the entire team could coordinate a push and rush the central flag, sometimes if the team was pushing enough and skilled enough, they could push the enemy back to their gimmy flag, meaning that the team owned 4 flags instead of 3. Mind you, it is not necessary to hold 4 flags over 3, because holding 3 means that your team will be winning, but holding 4 flags greatly increases the chance of your team keeping the C flag because its even harder to get to it. Sometimes you could get pushed back into spawn, and there isn't much you can do there, but that rarely happened (unless it was Operation Locker), and the addition of respawning tanks and helis usually allowed for 1 or 2 squads to back-cap or get out of spawn. I wrote this so that the person reading this doesn't get discouraged by playing with 31 other players on their team, against an overwhelming 32 enemy players, you CAN win the game, you CAN make a difference, and if you loose, thats your teams fault for not pushing when you gave them the opportunity. I heavily recommend always going for flags instead of kills, always be pushing the enemy's flag, always be capping, or clearing a flag, it will mean a world of difference to not only you, but your team.
1. Get Thermites, C4's, or Molotov's to destroy vehicles/Large groups of people. 2. Make sure you know the big picture and where everything is, like where enemies like to go or spawn (usually where the front line is) or you will get killed from behind. 3. And always have someone with you, whether they're in your squad or not, always suspect there is more than 1. 4. Even if you aren't good, try and keep out the center of combat so your team can have a safe place to spawn. (If this is the case use a sniper for kills) 5. Make sure you DO NOT pre-aim with snipers, or enemies will spot your scope glint and snipe/mow you down instead. Instead, spot them aim down sights and go for the kill.
I've had some bad internet since I've been out of town, so GW has been out of the cards for me. However, when I got home I started playing because I really enjoyed it. I've gotten alot better at it, I've noticed one of the main things is to get aerial advantage, don't necessarily camp but bounce between high places. DO NOT cross streets *lmao* try and stay behind cover as much as possible when trying to move around the map. I was playing yesterday and was getting pretty frustrated with it. My teammates never move to objectives and I finish around 4-8 caps and we lose "Most caps I ever had was 13 and we lost". Most times people play for kills, but when you have a team actually moving around, capping objectives it can be a ton of fun. I often go to locations and start capping alone, hoping some squad members will spawn on me but they never do. They're too busy sitting in our home-spawn sniping or waiting on tanks. Ground War with teammates that are just there for kills is miserable and takes the fun out of it. It's mainly the ones who think they'll get a lot of kills, but go 4-32 because they think they can sit in a window and camp all game to rack up free kills. Tip: If you're having a bad game, get in a tank lol free kills. I've had a few games recently where we're getting lit up and I spawn into the home-spawn and there's just a mile of scope glint and snipers are camping the spawn. That's when it gets miserable. Tank camping is another one that gets old. Instead of moving to objectives and capturing them when we're getting destroyed, most people just sit in the tanks and camp nowhere near objectives to get free kills. Then white phosphorus hits 20x's and you just wanna rage quit lol.
I feel like I am piling on with others, but good to vent. I have watched many of these "Get Better at Ground War" videos. I appreciate the effort of the content providers, but so far not a single piece of advice has helped at all. I spawn in and fwap! Sniper from across the map. I respawn...directly into the crosshairs of an opponent who was shooting a team mate. I respawn and Boom! Cluster Strike. I respawn splat! VTOL. I respawn and empty 200 rounds from a scoped LMG into an opponent...hitmarkers, he shoots at me with an MP7 from 200 yards...two hit kill. I respawn, honk! A tard in a jeep runs me over on the third step. I respawn and make it into a building...Kaboom! RPG. I respawn...Kaboom! Tank. I respawn and manage to kill one guy. Fraaaap! Precision air strike. I respawn fwap! Sniper again. I run ghost and cold blooded and thermal equipped snipers snack on me like I am wearing a neon sign. I run an SMG and Sniper combo and am constantly outgunned for distance with the SMG or lit up by an SMG when I am sniping, or, more often, nailed as I try to switch even using amped. I am consistenly in the top three on my team in any other game mode, but always going like 7 and 26 in Ground War. Very frustrating.
I'm not going to say I'm an experienced Ground War player but I do enjoy the game mode quite a bit. It's a nice balance between the core gameplay and Warzone. I mostly use it to level up my Sniper for Warzone and get new reticles and skins for them. It's not Battlefield like I was hoping it'd be but after I accepted that fact, I enjoy it a lot more.
I just wish I could see my teamates on the large map, its hard to tell where the fight really is when all I can see when spawning is where my spuad is.
My tip is SHOOT THE KILLSTREAKS DOWN. Its not hard to shoot down most of the killstreaks even with an AR. A VTOL will come down in around 120 shots (2 large mags ~ 20 seconds) from a kilo. If you have 3-4 people beaming it as soon as it appears it'll be destroyed before it even gets the chance to kill anyone on your team. Too many idiots walking around thinking you need a javlin or something but wanting someone else to handle it and then letting it get like 10 kills on your teammates. As soon as you see a killstreak, shoot at it. If it is one that does need a missile, switch classes! The more people locking on the harder it is to kill you all before one of you gets a rocket off Second tip: this mode is very sniper focused, so get good at sniping. That being said, don't JUST snipe. A lot of matches are lost because 3/4 of you team is hiding on a roof whilst the enemy team caps all the flags and nukes you. If there is already a load of snipers on your team in this area, move areas or stop sniping and play objective
My biggest ground war tip is have a plan. Don't just run around. Pick a flag to defend or attack and work within a rage of that flag that your comfortable with. Don't camp, keep moving but don't rush and pre aim the shit out of corners when indoors.
Does anyone else have this annoying issue where the game says a squad mate is NOT in combat and you can spawn on them, but when you try to, the game will randomly say they're in combat when you press X on them, then they're not, you try again, they're in combat, you try again, they're in combat. I swear this is a glitch.
This is due to the disorganized nature of gw and call of duty. Most players in battlefield know the importance of spawns and will actively stay out of combat when they notice everyone is dead
EpicHunter117 Gaming that’s kinda the point. I think it’s realistic to have the audio loud. In Battlefield you want to hear tanks coming from a mile away do you can switch kits and take it down bcuz if not you’re fucked
@@humanthefinite8304 yh tanks and kill streaks are too loud . Also whenever u load into ground war u hear a bunch of loud ass explosions. I have an arctis 7 headset so i cant live by the excuse my headset is not good enough to hear footsteps.
As a mainly battlefield player, ground war just feels natural. It’s basically the only thing I play and I greatly enjoy most matches. If you’re looking to goof around and get some laughs, grab an ATV/SUV/squad car (or little bird on the maps with them) and just go around honking your horn and running people over. It’s especially effective to drive along the hill on Krovnik Farmland splattering snipers that are tunnel visioned in their scopes. I’ve had some hilarious road kills just grabbing whatever has wheels and going for every man in the open I see
Cold Blooded/EOD and Ghost are the best perks to take while playing Ground War as I learned, Also once you understand the map you know where to go and play around your surroundings. My favorite maps are The Farm and Quarry, these two maps are imo the best maps to learn the gist of Ground War.. Finally what is your prefer sniper and attachments for ground war Ace?
The ttk is too damn fast over a distance (not to mention no recoil). 1hko Snipers, Automatics, and even the fucking Tanks can snipe with ease. IW clearly didn't really test things out for this mode and just slapped things together thinking it'll work. Just like how the tank was balanced as a killstreaks but it's a reasonable vehicle.
I finally wrote off Ground War after a few games on Farmland. Sniper's Paradise, not for me. Other maps are more time running around looking for someone, brief action in one small spot, run some more until the sniper gets you. 6 v 6 is what brought me to COD and where I'll stay.
I play battlefield a lot and this is the first CoD I have really been into. I personally like GW but I have has a lot of the same struggles as everyone else. My best tip though is to find the unpopular routes, even if they are longer. Take those routes to get near objectives then engage enemies at objectives. This can help with being sniped constantly and ensure that your are in control of where engagements take place.
Hi guys, I play ground war a lot and I have experience as both a sniper and an SMG player. *Sniper:* - Don't always use overkill, get 2 rockets off on whatever vehicle u can. This helps support the team while you're not there to capture flags. You can pickup an enemy weapon after. There's lots. - Almost no one in my group knew this. But try to be sensitive to yellow dots on your screen, they indicate the position of enemies from far away. See if it's in your sightline and you'll see much more People. Get those kills up boiiii. *SMG:* - try not to get frustrated by snipers, run evasively when in the open, running straight might get you out of the open faster but you'll be much harder to hit if you spice things up. - Try taking some longer more covered routes often you'll come up behind an enemy or two guarding the regular route. Abuse the tunnel vision of these suckers and laugh on their graves. - Even tho your bullets don't do much damage at range, it's often in your best interest to fire a few shots their way instead of running for cover immediately. Taking a few bullets might scare a killstreak boy into backing of while you run for safety. Show no fear, show that punk you're not just gonna duck like pussy. He'll back out. Good luck out there gents
Even though I suck at COD because this is the first one that I've ever played online, I still love the game especially Ground War. Pretty much the only mode I play because it reminds me of Battlefield.
People don't care about "winning" ground war... they go for kills and that's it. I really wish there was a console only mode, or input based ground war like I thought I was getting, not fun playing against KBM.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to turn off cross-play. I could be wrong but keyboard and mouse users definitely have better aim than other controller users.
Yeah Thats Why I have More Kills than deaths and More Losses than wins I Care More About Performance In Game Id Rather Lose and get 40 kills than win and get 20.
Ground war would be much better with a slightly higher time to kill. If most weapons took one extra bullet to kill, then it would be a lot less chaotic. Im a huge battlefield fan and ground war actually has potential, but I agree completely it’s a bit of a mess with cod’s base TTK.
I love at the start of a ground war match when someone jumps in a vehicle without waiting for any passengers, drives to a helicopter and flys away in it by themselves, great team work.
One of the best pieces of advice to give new players about COD multiplayer, is "Learn The Map". If you learn the map, and know where the spawns are at, a decent team can dominate the match just by knowing the map more than the other team.
I lol'd at your second point. I got caught up in trying to defend nearest point from base while the rest of the team pushed their base. Their counter arguments were, "look at your score lol" "i dont see you on the board" and my fav "no one cares about this game, stfu". So in essence you have to find a niche where you can enjoy the game, cuz its 1v63.
As mainly a CoD player in the past , when I got my first taste of ground war in the beta someone suggested I go back and play something like Battlefield 4 and they were so right. It really helped me understand the playstyle this type of game mode requires.
I'm sorry but I find groundwar borderline unplayable. There's ton of people just camping on rooftops sniping. Sniping, sniping, sniping. Literally, almost half of the enemy players are just sniping and sitting on rooftops.
The M4 with .458 socom absolutely recks in GW. I’m often able to pick of snipers with my M4 that way. I’ll also run a Kar with a 3x optic so theirs no glint. The biggest thing to realize is there are really only 3-5 lanes in each map, if you watch them or avoid them you’re generally fine.
I just started paying attention to the dots recently and it helps when you are counter sniping. But I think you need to have a slower pace to truly take advantage of them.
I love ground war its the only game mode i can get 2 level 1 guns gold in 1 day. Most of my friends wont play with me anymore because they cant do well in it when we are all pretty damn equal in skill. I think the main thing is general awareness and using sound to your advantage. I think it comes naturally to me from all that time playing battlefield & csgo making me at the point where i clear every room before i enter
perk 3 is tough between shrapnel, spotter, and tracker... But if you find your with at least 1 or 2 people who kinda get what to do even outside of a communicating party, having tracker is a really good way to know where the enemy is making progress, and the footprints last quite some time so you don't get flanked, it tells you where enemies have been killed... which show you where more can be flanking that "A position" or knowing where to avoid so your squad can spawn on you as reffered to in this video. Spotter is also worth sacrificing that other lethal as you can light up enemies strafing the map, just by aiming at them... with either of these two you can use a lot of perks that have some attribute giving you awareness/ information enforcing what Ace just suggested to look out for... think of what the perk does, and the meta of what that means given any game modes meta...(and don't forget to hit that "more info" button to see exactly what the perk entails in its entirety... I enjoy ground war but i have have 2 types of Cod friends and 1 2v2 partner... My friends either play shoot house 24/7, 6v6 tdm, or 6v6 dom ( Core) and the other play Constant Hardcore S&D/ other Hardcore Matches... I'd like to play it more but i also like coms up and at the very least calling out and getting call outs with a friend... Lone wolfing just gets boring after a while... I will say I like quite an amount of modes as long as people are miced up... this is the first cod i've played where sooo many people are simply not talking, or in a discord, etc... so its just radio silence in Dom, or tdm even...
You’d be correct if the battlefield franchise wasn’t in a pathetic state right. As a BF3 player it’s honestly upsetting how much they’ve lost their way.
Something else that's really important about the helicopters is how you use them. First, especially at the beginning of the match, you should try to fly down the middle of the map going as high as you can. This makes it easier for your teammates to get where they want to go (as long as they don't use their parachutes too early), and later in to match it makes it harder to get shot down. Second, you should not land the helicopter. You are more likely to die landing it than jumping out of it, but there is a much more important reason. The helicopters respawn very quickly (feels like around 20s), but that timer doesn't start until they are destroyed. If you land your helicopter, then it will just sit there for a few minutes until it is destroyed. If you jump out of it, however, it will be destroyed and respawn very shortly.
I have been playing COD since WAW and just picked this game up yesterday. I played for 4 hours and got to level 24 only playing ground war. My best game I went 17-6 while most games were no where near that positive of a K/D. I played one match of TDM and got absolutely destroyed. So for me ground war is my favorite game mode as of now. I'm sure I'll get better and have a greater appreciation for TDM though.
I love ground war, theres no sbmm, foot steps tend to be covrered up by the background noise, unless you're on karst river quarry inside all of those buildings, i even love promenade (given the fact that i use the jokr everytime i play on that map) and getting killstreaks like the gunship are soo much fun to just rain down destruction and allow your team to capture the flags
Thermite's are the best all around lethal grenade in gw. Useful for claymores when you don't have fmj to pop them, good at killing vehicles, and good for zoning doors. Use any class, but smokes are your friend. Specialist killstreaks aren't useful for map control, use vtols, uavs, and counter uavs. Most useful ks is advanced uav. Don't forget that the maps are very wide,and allow for wide flanks. Utilize that. There's more, but get out there and have fun.
Another thing is Ghost and Cold Blooded are your friends in this game mode. The amount of killstreaks going off is insane so it’s great when you don’t have to worry about UAVs and killstreaks targeting you. Unless you want to go for the big killstreaks with killchain, I often opt for Ghost instead
oml im so glad someone made this because when ever i play ground war i get like 14 kills and always lose and can never understand why(probably cause im bad lol)Thanks for your help much love from Alaska:)
Another thing you needed to mention is your position can restrict your squad from spamming on you. For your team to spawn on you you need to be out of combat and in a place they can be standing up. If you are a crate prone or crouched and you can’t stand up then your squad will get a “can’t spawn on teammate in combat” bug. You must be in a place where they can be standing up but you yourself don’t have to be standing.
I’m not a fan of COD by any means but (Ground War) definitely is a breath of fresh air so to speak. It’s no BF conquest by a long shot, but I haven’t played a COD game in probably 10 years. CTF is still a blast & actually a lot of the modes are still pretty decent to me 👍🏼
One big difference from conquest in BF is that the instant you get in a vehicle it will shot at from every direction within a minute. In ground war people don’t realize how important it is to shut down vehicles and I see them roll over people with little effort bcuz everyone wants kills instead
Krovnik farmland: spawn anywhere and get sniped from across the map
it is best gw map tho.
arber nuka quarry is best imo
Mostly clips of DJ's playing Dubstep and Grime on god bro. Sometimes I respawn and not joke 2 seconds later I’m I get snipped
Farmland is where I get most of my kills so it’s not a bad map probably the best out of all of them
The ground war map rotation is fucken broken I will get bone yard and farm land ten games in a row before I got port or quarry
I’m pretty good at team death match, but ground war is a no go. Players seem to see me from everywhere and I can barely find anyone
@Dylan I seen someone get 80 kills :/
I literally can’t play ground war...I’ll play slow and then the second I push anywhere I get mapped by someone or just get into stupid situations where I can do anything Idk what I do wrong but it’s so frustrating to play
exactly, I find ground war to be some hot trash honestly. I swear I mostly spend over half my time trying to find someone to shoot and then when I do get in the middle of a decent skirmish suddenly all enemies are gone and I'm back to running around trying to find someone to shoot again. I absolutely hate trying to spawn on an objective and you select 'B' for example and it spawns you outside 75 meters away from the objective conveniently in the sight lines of approaching enemies of the objective you wish to help defend!!!
I see comments like this is and I just don't understand. Ground war is the best thing I've ever seen in a COD game. 6v6 or 10v10 is just a snooze fest. Ground war is fast paced, good xp, suitable for pretty much all play styles. I rush around like a mad man on ground war and usually top 3 players. I feel like people aren't actually taking the time to learn the map and find good routes
@@vitaliytrach164 How is 6v6 a snooze fest? 6v6 is what made Cod what it is today. Sounds like you're a battlefield refugee. Fuck off.
It doesn't help that people blend in with their backdrop either. It's just a case of finding areas where people congregate, and getting to those positions without being spotted. On farmland I find it's always in the buildings next to and around B, but if the other team has C, they tend to camp that building as well. Tavorsk is pretty much at the top of any building but if not they tend to gravitate towards C, which is the same for the quarry, on the third floor of the two buildings facing each other that's connected by the bridge that C is on. The docks is pretty fun and I find C and B are always heavily contested.
@@LordAngelus 6v6 is a snooze fest in mw when the maps are huge with about a million windows and buildings and lines of sight. Shoot house is the only map thats enjoyable and that can get old real quick when you consider sbmm.
The problem I have is that when ever I play on tavorsk district I can never find anyone to snipe but when ever I go out side on the roof its always someone that finds me and snipe me and it pisses me off
Same thats why I stopped playing ground war
Im only playing ground war because of the challenges to get weapon blueprints
@@deadlyydude5522 Got a 15-20ish streak on that map today just sniping.
Tavorsk is the worst gw map, my favourite maps are port and river quarry but I don’t mind krovnik farmland
@@jacksonlowe3993 Really? It's easily my favorite.
The thing that annoys me most about GW is all the maps are linear. You go from A to B to C etc... in Battlefield sometimes A is close to E or F. Sometimes C D and E are in the middle of the map and A B F and G are near spawns. Point is on most Battlefield maps it is impossible to spawn lock. On MW spawn locking happens way too often and flanking is extremely difficult because objectives are all set up in a linear fashion.
I'm a battlefield player, but even I really struggle with ground war. There's just too much disorganised chaos, and too many kill streaks constantly going off. It's not a fun mode.
The ttk doesn’t really help this game mode, dying in 3 hits at lo distance having no time to even go prone is crazy
It's because Ground War is an inferior mode to Conquest. GW is lacking too many mechanics, features, and too many common sense things to make it a competitor to Conquest. There's no mechanic that incentivizes squad-based behavior, I'm not able to spawn on CPs that my team still actually possesses but might be in the process of losing, etc. I've primarily been a Battlefield player since CoD went on that advanced movement bs and GW just doesn't stack up to Conquest, which is why I don't find myself enjoying GW at all.
Ground war sucks compared to Battlefield!
They should make the kill streaks more expensive as in normal mode
I think GW is good and more fun than any BF I've played.
I’ve played a ton of ground war and I’ve done pretty decent. One thing I’ll add to this that I’ve seen people do is to not just sprint around the entire map. Try to stay between a few flags per life and control that area if there’s a lot of fighting there. Also flanking is super super important especially when your team is losing. PTFO!
@@TheLuckyShepherd aye I'll add you, I'm DaddyAnjuna on xbox

Constantinia Smith the newest Battlefield sucks ass. This could just be me, but I just think that Battlefield gets very old very fast after like 30min-1hour of gameplay you’ll probably just get bored and quit because of how repetitive the game gets.

@@pinesol1388 It's basically nothing unless you're using the 725 with slugs or the crossbow. Ground War is a really shitty Battlefield wannabe, with shit gameplay, shit vehicles, and the game fucking you over because your team would rather snipe people than play the objective.

When the match starts please don't grab a vehicle and go straight to A if we spawn on A side..use the vehicle to get a jump on the enemy and establish some early map control..go to the C flag at least or flank around them at D or E and get some easy kills..you can get full streaks a min into the match just off your opening route.
Youd get sniped so quickly
@@polpottopg I've done it a few times some enemies dont expect a blitzkrieg on the furthest objective
1) Due to so many players being on a team, there's almost always a UAV up. That means you'll show up on the map when you fire if you're not using a suppressor.
2) Understand that capping a flag blocks spawning, so hiding and contesting a flag while others fight can be far more helpful to the team.
3) Trophy systems are the fastest charging field upgrade, so there's really no reason to ever not use field upgrade pro with a trophy system as the backup to your primary choice.
4) Vehicles show up on the map for anyone with spotter while you drive them, and appear for everyone when you get out. If you suddenly see an empty ATV pop up on the map behind you, you should probably turn around.
5) Use killstreaks to break out entrenched enemies so that your team can capture a flag. Wheelsons and VTOLs have indirectly secured many, many flags.
If you're not using ghost in general, you're usually at a disadvantage. There's almost always a UAV up that probably has you unknowingly pinged on enemy radar.
1 was changed in an update a while back I believe. I think Ace updated a vid on it with a text annotation.
Dillon C Honestly, the best 2nd perk by a mile, don’t know why people don’t use it especially in ground war
UAVs are easy points.use the perk that turns kill streak's into point streak's and you will be glad to see UAVs
Ground war pro tip. Always run an SMG or AR combined with a sniper. Killing those building campers is key when they are just picking you off at the spawn. So you need to counter snipe them often.
It's so satisfying as well.
Or the JOKR just to slap people off the top of Tavorsk.
Some of my most satisfying moments is spraying a sniper glint with an AK built to be a RPK and somehow getting a kill.
But but but the uav spam
I stopped ground war bc I was getting overwhelmed by snipers, tanks & kill streaks but your view is very helpful. Thanks, I’ll keep trying it with that strategy in mind

Two tips: learn popular spots and build teammate awareness. There many power positions and spots people will take when capturing a flag as well as routes they can take to push the flags. Learn the corners people like to sit in, places that can be mantled, where they may come from to push you. Be aware of where your teammates are and if they get killed, who killed them. You can often see the tracers from the bullets and it’s easy to find who killed them. Also if your teammate got killed in an area, don’t blindly run into the same spot lol.
I love the strategy of sneaking around to the farthest objective and trying to take it. Can completely change the game like you said

Redwingz Ftw exactly what I do on that city map
That is what I always do if possible, works every time
I love this game mode. I only find myself playing ground war and shoot house 24/7 because there is a lot of action.
Same but @ gw. Shoothouse too much of a 3 lane map for me but the closeness is nice.
Ground War players have developed an annoying meta - cap the enemies home flag and camp it. You see it on the city map every match.
Exactly. I see it all time as well.
Yup. That's the only lobbies I could get in last night. Never thought I'd see myself getting spawn camped on ground war.
Screen shake is ridiculous in this game. I can barely aim when it happens with all the chaos. Also there is a bug where I couldn’t open field Pro even though my field upgrade was fully charged.???
Field tools but happens all the time but seems to have stopped a week ago or so. Also, somehow, those matches are always awful, then the tools won't work!

im pronouncing as it is spelled
Haha
I knifhtbyou as sir you will not be fucking worth much
I've been playing this game from launch and the only time motherfuckers talk is when they trash talk after the match
I only play ground war at the moment. And possibly the most important thing is to use the verticality. You gain such a big advantage when you are above your enemies
I feel like every player I meet in groundwar is a pc player. everybody knows where I am and as soon as i go out in the open, there's a sniper looking at me. Im lucky if i get a kill in this mode.
Exactly especially on tavorsk district
The key is to peek large open areas and move on quickly if you see no one. Also I carry a sniper on me pretty much all the time with overkill since there are very few sustained fights over flags and I don’t need EOD. I’m not good or anything but I’ve started being able to consistently find players and get at least 20 kills and not hate the experience. Snipe a lot and pay attention to where you spawn and where the areas are that are open for the enemy team to spawn into. Hope this helps!
Also, you gotta suffer a little and die a lot so you can learn the spawns yourself.
Same here. I always go really negative when I try ground war. I'm more of a fast paced player and I just get dropped any time I try and get close to the action.
Lol stay inside brp, and here is a tip i never heard a video say.... Use corners, before u walk through a door you can see every angle outside piece by piece. Stay in cover when u run out, and be a badass.... Number one tip - Be A Badass, not a crybaby
I always run overkill with a longer range weapon on Ground War. On maps like Tavorsk or Verdansk, there's guaranteed to be snipers camping on rooftops. Dealing with them from afar is much less frustrating than going up stairs and ladders after them where claymores may be waiting.
When I started ground war, everyone starts spamming white phosphoruses.
No comment is more relatable
Great video...I’m a COD vet but new to GW and have been frustrated. This video provided thorough and clear advice about “the big picture” and map control, something that a fan of Domination hadn’t really considered. I’ve actually watched this vid 2x. Thanks for cutting right to the chase, and not stuffing the first few mins on pimping your channel.
Basically, if you’re a Battlefield player then all these tips should be familiar.
If ur a battlefield player ur gunna hate that most of the objectives are in a straight line .... might as well play tug of war
God damn ace, where to you find these enemies? I can’t get more than 3 kills without getting killed by a dude hiding in a building. This footage looks so fun.
Also, u salty about being left behind from the helicopter😂
I know right.. 2:58 ...
Ground war gameplay on RUclips and ground war in a normal game feel like 2 different worlds. In most normal games, I might be able to get 15 kills but most of the time I'm struggling to find enemies.
he uses clips from his best action packed matches when in reality most matches are hella slow
Exactly my thoughts, nobody using ghost, all of them completely unaware of their surroundings, can't aim to save their lives ...
@@pantiesgonewild358 bruh ive been pulling hella games around 40-8 k/d in groundwar. Can literally get 2 guns per day in ground war but not even close in any other game mode. You control the games that you have but every match is just about the same
I can hardly find anyone lol, I’ll end up most games with like 5 kills and one death. I just never come across the enemy.
Absolutely despise when your the only 1 out of 32 that’s trying to destroy the tanks
Tm8s would rather die constantly to tanks than take it out on Karst😡
Exactly nobody carries a launcher. Then they cry about streaks, and tanks.
Nicolas well shiiiit lemme hop in groundwar get plat launchers right quick
Honestly, especially the fucking APC since it can act as a spawn point, so its essential to take those out as quick as possible.
5:52 This is actually way more important than people realize and the way i learned it was f*cking hilarious. I had a squadmate who was named something like 'gravyjoe879' and as a joke i followed him around and watched his back and such, basically pretending to be obsessive. Anytime he died I'd avenge him. And in the end he helped me out too and we both dropped like 15+ kills
I love groundwar and I've noticed that I terms of flags the most important flags are the ones closest to your teams spawn. If you can keep control of that point and the enemy teams point it can quickly become difficult for the enemy team to get to exactly where they want to be. That and tactical insertion, super convenient to throw one down before trying to take a point. If you die quick not only do you know where the enemy is now but you can instantly get back in the action
If they had binoculars as an equipment, could have been useful for sniping.
That would actually be pretty cool as an equipment option.
i think thats not a good idea, there is glint on the scopes so playes can see that a sniper is aiming at them, if an enemy can see me without glint and then simply scope at where i am and kill me would be unfair
With the chopper, in the beginning don't fly up high right away, stay low. I get a BUNCH of doubles and triples (rocket launcher) early in the game from people taking off and going high. Another tip to add in is, be a team player, listen to call outs and the announcer. When there is a UAV or counter UAV, shoot it down as quickly as possible, it takes away the enemies advantage. On that note, I know high streaks are awesome, but always run either the UAV or Counter UAV, giving your team an advantage equals wins.
My last thing, that really isn't a tip, just a gripe, we do not need HALF the team on a roof sniping. I have lost so many rounds where my teams has the most kills (because of sniping on the roofs) but we didn't hold any objectives. Holding the roofs is important but the objectives are far more important.
Awesome video as always Ace!
For anyone who spawns as Alliance on Torvik District there are two crates to the rear of your spawn along a low wall (behind the temts). If you aim between them you can easily counter snipe the white tower to the left of coalition spawn. I found this out while doing the sniper scope retical unlocks.

XclusiveAce: Frick this one guy
That's always me..
I can't even count how many times I've been the sole target of a cruise missile. It's so annoying when they go for you and only you, rather than an objective or group of enemies.
I mostly play ground war, and I always play with my brother, he and/or I are ALWAYS the target of a cruise missile. We’re currently taking note of how many missiles target us whenever there’s one being used. I’m definitely switching to cold blooded once I finish my EOD mission...
If you are taking a wide flank, on any ground war map, you are a high priority target. why? because you can back cap a flag, spawn in a squad behind enemy lines, and if you do what I do all the time, you can place a tac insert in a smart place behind enemy lines providing your squad a constant back spawn location.
If you are taking wide flanks, and people are not targeting you with killstreaks, then those people are stupid, and deserve to get back capped.
I usually go specifically for snipers unless there is an easy double or more kill

You didn't change my mind. Why u ask???? BECAUSE THAT IS MY MIND . Definately a crappy version of BF

Nothing comes close to BF3/4 conquest unfortunately. My own theory is that BF has destructible environments meaning you can get rid of a lot of camping.

Also me: jumps into a Ground War game and freezes right away because the game is chaotic beyond what my brain can process
😂
Hah truth!
From my experience, as a mostly Ground War player, The best way to do good in Ground War is to commit to defending a zone if there are lots of enemies trying to go for it. Hold it for as long as you can, and if it doesn't work, change it up and go to a different zone. I've seen so many players treat Ground War as if it was a regular Domination mode where when they see a zone is being captured by an enemy they'll try to go to it no matter how far. Well guess what happens when they do that? They die on their way to that zone, so the enemy will probably capture it, and the zone that they left is being taken over. So many people complain about Ground War being so "Campy" yet the main objective of the game is to hold as many flags as possible. How are you supposed to hold a flag if you've got no player defending the zone lol. The reason why I love Ground War much better than the regular 6v6 or 10v10 game modes is that when you communicate with you squad and team, most of the time you'll win. It doesn't matter if you're geting 100s of kills.
Psssst.
You can take out an IAV with an incendiary grenade launcher and the Fully Loaded perk for an extra round. Turn your M4 into a tank destroying machine!
These tips are absolutely amazing, once I started playing GW like this it’s been easy to get a lot of kills as a solo player
3:20 pay attention to the E flag when he is talking about it😂😂😂
I figured something out myself which is both great for getting camos, and maintaining stats, also for getting killstreak (scorestreak in this case) challenges completed.
Firstly, you want to have Pointsman as your 2nd perk, and any launcher of choice. Then its as simple as sitting at the back of the map, in your spawn point next to the nearest ammo dump and just shoot down EVERYTHING.
I have been doing this while going for launcher camos, and on a good game i can drop the highest streaks. And in one of my games I unlocked 12 camos, IN ONE GAME! Of course its dependant on how many streaks the enemy get.
Which launcher did you use?
@@hmk7983 - i was using the first one, can't remember its name.
Ive been playing GW since Cod4. It's always been my favorite game mode. Now with the addition of control points it's changed the dynamic of the mode entirely. It's a mess to try and control most of the points. But using the flanking routes is paramount to being effective. Especially when you see that your team cannot hold territories. Working in behind them to take out their snipers and to kill their vehicles before they make it into the action can be a HUGE help to your team.
As a BF vet and objective based player...I approve of this video.
Kevin isn’t this a battlefield map or am I stupid
I feel like I played this months ago I’m confused
TheXclusiveAce Tip 1: "Use Shrapnel and carry Thermite". 8:15 plants claymore.
As a previous battle field vet, I can 100% say that if you go for flags more than kills, and can capture them, even by yourself you can turn a match around.
And flanking the enemy and capping their gimmy flag is called 'back-capping' and can really mess with the front lines if the enemy team cannot react fast enough.
This is where I have an issue with CoD's map design for ground war.
Not only is it difficult to move around the map from all of the spots snipers can camp and get kills from, but its also very slow to cap flags and move around the map without getting killed.
BF4's map design was tuned so that a player can run from the A flag to the C flag in a somewhat fast pace, and often times could get there before other players on the team because they would cap the gimmy flag(A gimmy flag is a flag which is not heavily contested or fought over, something like the A and E flags.) which would let other players on the team rush the central flag and then that fight would determine the outcome of the match for the first bit.
Obviously if the enemy team all does stupid-shit and dies, then the C flag can get capped easily, and then it'll switch roles, where instead of your team getting pushed back and dumpstered, you would be firing at enemies from the power position which was usually the C flag, sometimes if it wasn't directly on the C flag, it'd be near it, leading to some very fun game play because BF4's map design allowed counters for the power position if your team decided to go for it, and it would usually act as a mini-power position, where it had some good sight lines, but was easily countered.
Most of the time the BF4 maps were big enough to allow for easy flanks around to the enemy gimmy flag, allowing for some good-ass back-caps and, in turn, an easier game because enemies would leave the front line to re-cap their gimmy flag, meaning the entire team could coordinate a push and rush the central flag, sometimes if the team was pushing enough and skilled enough, they could push the enemy back to their gimmy flag, meaning that the team owned 4 flags instead of 3.
Mind you, it is not necessary to hold 4 flags over 3, because holding 3 means that your team will be winning, but holding 4 flags greatly increases the chance of your team keeping the C flag because its even harder to get to it.
Sometimes you could get pushed back into spawn, and there isn't much you can do there, but that rarely happened (unless it was Operation Locker), and the addition of respawning tanks and helis usually allowed for 1 or 2 squads to back-cap or get out of spawn.
I wrote this so that the person reading this doesn't get discouraged by playing with 31 other players on their team, against an overwhelming 32 enemy players, you CAN win the game, you CAN make a difference, and if you loose, thats your teams fault for not pushing when you gave them the opportunity.
I heavily recommend always going for flags instead of kills, always be pushing the enemy's flag, always be capping, or clearing a flag, it will mean a world of difference to not only you, but your team.
1. Get Thermites, C4's, or Molotov's to destroy vehicles/Large groups of people.
2. Make sure you know the big picture and where everything is, like where enemies like to go or spawn (usually where the front line is) or you will get killed from behind.
3. And always have someone with you, whether they're in your squad or not, always suspect there is more than 1.
4. Even if you aren't good, try and keep out the center of combat so your team can have a safe place to spawn. (If this is the case use a sniper for kills)
5. Make sure you DO NOT pre-aim with snipers, or enemies will spot your scope glint and snipe/mow you down instead. Instead, spot them aim down sights and go for the kill.

All I was playing for my first 155 levels was pretty much ground war, but I just got so tired of the tanks and snipers along with tavorsk
I feel you. I played last night and outta the games I played, most of them were Tavorsk
It’s so satisfying tho to kill a tank with thermite and yeah they need a better rotation on the maps, I get the same one like 3 times in a row
I've had some bad internet since I've been out of town, so GW has been out of the cards for me. However, when I got home I started playing because I really enjoyed it. I've gotten alot better at it, I've noticed one of the main things is to get aerial advantage, don't necessarily camp but bounce between high places. DO NOT cross streets *lmao* try and stay behind cover as much as possible when trying to move around the map. I was playing yesterday and was getting pretty frustrated with it. My teammates never move to objectives and I finish around 4-8 caps and we lose "Most caps I ever had was 13 and we lost". Most times people play for kills, but when you have a team actually moving around, capping objectives it can be a ton of fun.
I often go to locations and start capping alone, hoping some squad members will spawn on me but they never do. They're too busy sitting in our home-spawn sniping or waiting on tanks. Ground War with teammates that are just there for kills is miserable and takes the fun out of it. It's mainly the ones who think they'll get a lot of kills, but go 4-32 because they think they can sit in a window and camp all game to rack up free kills. Tip: If you're having a bad game, get in a tank lol free kills.
I've had a few games recently where we're getting lit up and I spawn into the home-spawn and there's just a mile of scope glint and snipers are camping the spawn. That's when it gets miserable. Tank camping is another one that gets old. Instead of moving to objectives and capturing them when we're getting destroyed, most people just sit in the tanks and camp nowhere near objectives to get free kills. Then white phosphorus hits 20x's and you just wanna rage quit lol.
I feel like I am piling on with others, but good to vent. I have watched many of these "Get Better at Ground War" videos. I appreciate the effort of the content providers, but so far not a single piece of advice has helped at all. I spawn in and fwap! Sniper from across the map. I respawn...directly into the crosshairs of an opponent who was shooting a team mate. I respawn and Boom! Cluster Strike. I respawn splat! VTOL. I respawn and empty 200 rounds from a scoped LMG into an opponent...hitmarkers, he shoots at me with an MP7 from 200 yards...two hit kill. I respawn, honk! A tard in a jeep runs me over on the third step. I respawn and make it into a building...Kaboom! RPG. I respawn...Kaboom! Tank. I respawn and manage to kill one guy. Fraaaap! Precision air strike. I respawn fwap! Sniper again. I run ghost and cold blooded and thermal equipped snipers snack on me like I am wearing a neon sign. I run an SMG and Sniper combo and am constantly outgunned for distance with the SMG or lit up by an SMG when I am sniping, or, more often, nailed as I try to switch even using amped. I am consistenly in the top three on my team in any other game mode, but always going like 7 and 26 in Ground War. Very frustrating.
Lowkey all my experience for ground war came from all my years of playing battlefield.
Kilo Shark I use to be good at battle field but this is something else lol I suck
Plastic Spray Bottle Same. I was a jet pilot primarily so being on the ground is a bit different.
Ground war is easy when ur used to battlefield
I'm not going to say I'm an experienced Ground War player but I do enjoy the game mode quite a bit. It's a nice balance between the core gameplay and Warzone. I mostly use it to level up my Sniper for Warzone and get new reticles and skins for them. It's not Battlefield like I was hoping it'd be but after I accepted that fact, I enjoy it a lot more.
I take that default scope off my sniper, and swap to a 3.5X optic. Good enough for most scenarios and no glint.
I just wish I could see my teamates on the large map, its hard to tell where the fight really is when all I can see when spawning is where my spuad is.

@@yesman9792 Niiiice 👌
tip: if enemies are camping hard, camp harder.
The Good Samaritan and ruin the experience for everyone else
@@tiberiuzz8769 okay if they are camping just run around for free kill :)
The Good Samaritan this game caters to camping and it’s very lame
The Good Samaritan damn right
My tip is SHOOT THE KILLSTREAKS DOWN. Its not hard to shoot down most of the killstreaks even with an AR. A VTOL will come down in around 120 shots (2 large mags ~ 20 seconds) from a kilo. If you have 3-4 people beaming it as soon as it appears it'll be destroyed before it even gets the chance to kill anyone on your team. Too many idiots walking around thinking you need a javlin or something but wanting someone else to handle it and then letting it get like 10 kills on your teammates. As soon as you see a killstreak, shoot at it.
If it is one that does need a missile, switch classes! The more people locking on the harder it is to kill you all before one of you gets a rocket off
Second tip: this mode is very sniper focused, so get good at sniping. That being said, don't JUST snipe. A lot of matches are lost because 3/4 of you team is hiding on a roof whilst the enemy team caps all the flags and nukes you. If there is already a load of snipers on your team in this area, move areas or stop sniping and play objective
My biggest ground war tip is have a plan. Don't just run around. Pick a flag to defend or attack and work within a rage of that flag that your comfortable with. Don't camp, keep moving but don't rush and pre aim the shit out of corners when indoors.
I’ve tried telling my team mates to let me spawn or get out of combat but they never listen and die right after.
Russell Bob They need a little pop up that shows you someone is trying to frikkin spawn on you.
Does anyone else have this annoying issue where the game says a squad mate is NOT in combat and you can spawn on them, but when you try to, the game will randomly say they're in combat when you press X on them, then they're not, you try again, they're in combat, you try again, they're in combat. I swear this is a glitch.
This is due to the disorganized nature of gw and call of duty. Most players in battlefield know the importance of spawns and will actively stay out of combat when they notice everyone is dead
I wish there is an option to disable squad spawns. If u try to sneak up on the enemy, i always got dumb mates spawning up on me and ruining the day...
They need to fix the audio in ground war. Like u can hear tanks shooting half way across the map but not hear people running around u ...
EpicHunter117 Gaming that’s kinda the point. I think it’s realistic to have the audio loud. In Battlefield you want to hear tanks coming from a mile away do you can switch kits and take it down bcuz if not you’re fucked
Totally agree
@@jakecastillo6731 I think they were saying you cant hear footsteps right next to you but you can hear everything else on the other side of the map.
Human the finite oh shoot you’re right. I didn’t see that last part. However I think it’s better than being too loud like before. That’s just me
@@humanthefinite8304 yh tanks and kill streaks are too loud . Also whenever u load into ground war u hear a bunch of loud ass explosions. I have an arctis 7 headset so i cant live by the excuse my headset is not good enough to hear footsteps.
As a mainly battlefield player, ground war just feels natural. It’s basically the only thing I play and I greatly enjoy most matches. If you’re looking to goof around and get some laughs, grab an ATV/SUV/squad car (or little bird on the maps with them) and just go around honking your horn and running people over. It’s especially effective to drive along the hill on Krovnik Farmland splattering snipers that are tunnel visioned in their scopes. I’ve had some hilarious road kills just grabbing whatever has wheels and going for every man in the open I see
Cold Blooded/EOD and Ghost are the best perks to take while playing Ground War as I learned, Also once you understand the map you know where to go and play around your surroundings. My favorite maps are The Farm and Quarry, these two maps are imo the best maps to learn the gist of Ground War.. Finally what is your prefer sniper and attachments for ground war Ace?
The ttk is too damn fast over a distance (not to mention no recoil).
1hko Snipers, Automatics, and even the fucking Tanks can snipe with ease.
IW clearly didn't really test things out for this mode and just slapped things together thinking it'll work.
Just like how the tank was balanced as a killstreaks but it's a reasonable vehicle.
I mostly play ground war this is just based on feels but it seems the sbmm isn’t as thicc
From what I heard gw has no sbmm at all.
I finally wrote off Ground War after a few games on Farmland. Sniper's Paradise, not for me. Other maps are more time running around looking for someone, brief action in one small spot, run some more until the sniper gets you. 6 v 6 is what brought me to COD and where I'll stay.
I play battlefield a lot and this is the first CoD I have really been into. I personally like GW but I have has a lot of the same struggles as everyone else. My best tip though is to find the unpopular routes, even if they are longer. Take those routes to get near objectives then engage enemies at objectives. This can help with being sniped constantly and ensure that your are in control of where engagements take place.
I'm so early Ace is still in Norway
Most of them are always camping in a building or house or they will be just camping with snipers
Hi guys, I play ground war a lot and I have experience as both a sniper and an SMG player.
*Sniper:*
- Don't always use overkill, get 2 rockets off on whatever vehicle u can. This helps support the team while you're not there to capture flags. You can pickup an enemy weapon after. There's lots.
- Almost no one in my group knew this. But try to be sensitive to yellow dots on your screen, they indicate the position of enemies from far away. See if it's in your sightline and you'll see much more People. Get those kills up boiiii.
*SMG:*
- try not to get frustrated by snipers, run evasively when in the open, running straight might get you out of the open faster but you'll be much harder to hit if you spice things up.
- Try taking some longer more covered routes often you'll come up behind an enemy or two guarding the regular route. Abuse the tunnel vision of these suckers and laugh on their graves.
- Even tho your bullets don't do much damage at range, it's often in your best interest to fire a few shots their way instead of running for cover immediately. Taking a few bullets might scare a killstreak boy into backing of while you run for safety. Show no fear, show that punk you're not just gonna duck like pussy. He'll back out.
Good luck out there gents
Even though I suck at COD because this is the first one that I've ever played online, I still love the game especially Ground War. Pretty much the only mode I play because it reminds me of Battlefield.
Me too man. We need battlefield 6 now!
People don't care about "winning" ground war... they go for kills and that's it.
I really wish there was a console only mode, or input based ground war like I thought I was getting, not fun playing against KBM.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to turn off cross-play. I could be wrong but keyboard and mouse users definitely have better aim than other controller users.
@@dillonc7955 Its forces cross play when you go to play ground war, it says cross play must be enabled to play this gamemode.
Yeah Thats Why I have More Kills than deaths and More Losses than wins I Care More About Performance In Game Id Rather Lose and get 40 kills than win and get 20.
@@Crispierbug That's kind of lame considering there's so SBMM in ground war, so a lot of people cross over to it.
Not a fan of Ground War in this game. Just a complete mess.
Ground war would be much better with a slightly higher time to kill. If most weapons took one extra bullet to kill, then it would be a lot less chaotic.
Im a huge battlefield fan and ground war actually has potential, but I agree completely it’s a bit of a mess with cod’s base TTK.
I love at the start of a ground war match when someone jumps in a vehicle without waiting for any passengers, drives to a helicopter and flys away in it by themselves, great team work.
One of the best pieces of advice to give new players about COD multiplayer, is "Learn The Map".
If you learn the map, and know where the spawns are at, a decent team can dominate the match just by knowing the map more than the other team.
Also Ace, don't forget to cheat and use streak binoculars as binoculars lol.
I used that with BFV's squad leader abilities and yeah, it's useful for a marksman. Especially when I'm using the M14
This mode would be so much better if snipers only headshot killed
I lol'd at your second point. I got caught up in trying to defend nearest point from base while the rest of the team pushed their base. Their counter arguments were, "look at your score lol" "i dont see you on the board" and my fav "no one cares about this game, stfu".
So in essence you have to find a niche where you can enjoy the game, cuz its 1v63.
As mainly a CoD player in the past , when I got my first taste of ground war in the beta someone suggested I go back and play something like Battlefield 4 and they were so right. It really helped me understand the playstyle this type of game mode requires.
I'm sorry but I find groundwar borderline unplayable. There's ton of people just camping on rooftops sniping. Sniping, sniping, sniping. Literally, almost half of the enemy players are just sniping and sitting on rooftops.
We lost a legend rip Juice WRLD
Wtf thanks for telling me but still wtf
Who?
legend... Let's not make that word meaningless too...
The M4 with .458 socom absolutely recks in GW. I’m often able to pick of snipers with my M4 that way. I’ll also run a Kar with a 3x optic so theirs no glint. The biggest thing to realize is there are really only 3-5 lanes in each map, if you watch them or avoid them you’re generally fine.
(As a battlefield og)It’s shows some people just didn’t play any battle field lol but great vid dude I need to learn this game
I am midly annoyed of you not saying a single word about the yellow dots
I just started paying attention to the dots recently and it helps when you are counter sniping. But I think you need to have a slower pace to truly take advantage of them.
1st !!! Love the vids 😊😊
No one cares
Imagine acting like people care
Imagine caring about people caring about being first.
Please come back dad clearly u do if u respond back 🤣🤣
Goldcreeper1356 and u care too !! 🤣🤣 who took a piss in ur cereal this morning kid ?
I love ground war its the only game mode i can get 2 level 1 guns gold in 1 day. Most of my friends wont play with me anymore because they cant do well in it when we are all pretty damn equal in skill. I think the main thing is general awareness and using sound to your advantage. I think it comes naturally to me from all that time playing battlefield & csgo making me at the point where i clear every room before i enter
perk 3 is tough between shrapnel, spotter, and tracker... But if you find your with at least 1 or 2 people who kinda get what to do even outside of a communicating party, having tracker is a really good way to know where the enemy is making progress, and the footprints last quite some time so you don't get flanked, it tells you where enemies have been killed... which show you where more can be flanking that "A position" or knowing where to avoid so your squad can spawn on you as reffered to in this video. Spotter is also worth sacrificing that other lethal as you can light up enemies strafing the map, just by aiming at them... with either of these two you can use a lot of perks that have some attribute giving you awareness/ information enforcing what Ace just suggested to look out for... think of what the perk does, and the meta of what that means given any game modes meta...(and don't forget to hit that "more info" button to see exactly what the perk entails in its entirety... I enjoy ground war but i have have 2 types of Cod friends and 1 2v2 partner... My friends either play shoot house 24/7, 6v6 tdm, or 6v6 dom ( Core) and the other play Constant Hardcore S&D/ other Hardcore Matches... I'd like to play it more but i also like coms up and at the very least calling out and getting call outs with a friend... Lone wolfing just gets boring after a while... I will say I like quite an amount of modes as long as people are miced up... this is the first cod i've played where sooo many people are simply not talking, or in a discord, etc... so its just radio silence in Dom, or tdm even...
Best tip for this game is to uninstall it.
Tip number one: go play BF.
Jiajian Hou nah
You’d be correct if the battlefield franchise wasn’t in a pathetic state right. As a BF3 player it’s honestly upsetting how much they’ve lost their way.
Betafield? No thanks
Something else that's really important about the helicopters is how you use them. First, especially at the beginning of the match, you should try to fly down the middle of the map going as high as you can. This makes it easier for your teammates to get where they want to go (as long as they don't use their parachutes too early), and later in to match it makes it harder to get shot down. Second, you should not land the helicopter. You are more likely to die landing it than jumping out of it, but there is a much more important reason. The helicopters respawn very quickly (feels like around 20s), but that timer doesn't start until they are destroyed. If you land your helicopter, then it will just sit there for a few minutes until it is destroyed. If you jump out of it, however, it will be destroyed and respawn very shortly.
I have been playing COD since WAW and just picked this game up yesterday. I played for 4 hours and got to level 24 only playing ground war. My best game I went 17-6 while most games were no where near that positive of a K/D. I played one match of TDM and got absolutely destroyed. So for me ground war is my favorite game mode as of now. I'm sure I'll get better and have a greater appreciation for TDM though.
Lmao, didn’t even cover the most important tip: camp 😂
I love ground war, theres no sbmm, foot steps tend to be covrered up by the background noise, unless you're on karst river quarry inside all of those buildings, i even love promenade (given the fact that i use the jokr everytime i play on that map) and getting killstreaks like the gunship are soo much fun to just rain down destruction and allow your team to capture the flags
It would be my favorite mode if snipping wasn’t so easy and annoying
Thermite's are the best all around lethal grenade in gw. Useful for claymores when you don't have fmj to pop them, good at killing vehicles, and good for zoning doors.
Use any class, but smokes are your friend.
Specialist killstreaks aren't useful for map control, use vtols, uavs, and counter uavs. Most useful ks is advanced uav.
Don't forget that the maps are very wide,and allow for wide flanks. Utilize that.
There's more, but get out there and have fun.
Another thing is Ghost and Cold Blooded are your friends in this game mode. The amount of killstreaks going off is insane so it’s great when you don’t have to worry about UAVs and killstreaks targeting you. Unless you want to go for the big killstreaks with killchain, I often opt for Ghost instead
oml im so glad someone made this because when ever i play ground war i get like 14 kills and always lose and can never understand why(probably cause im bad lol)Thanks for your help much love from Alaska:)
Another thing you needed to mention is your position can restrict your squad from spamming on you. For your team to spawn on you you need to be out of combat and in a place they can be standing up. If you are a crate prone or crouched and you can’t stand up then your squad will get a “can’t spawn on teammate in combat” bug. You must be in a place where they can be standing up but you yourself don’t have to be standing.
I’m not a fan of COD by any means but (Ground War) definitely is a breath of fresh air so to speak. It’s no BF conquest by a long shot, but I haven’t played a COD game in probably 10 years. CTF is still a blast & actually a lot of the modes are still pretty decent to me 👍🏼
One big difference from conquest in BF is that the instant you get in a vehicle it will shot at from every direction within a minute. In ground war people don’t realize how important it is to shut down vehicles and I see them roll over people with little effort bcuz everyone wants kills instead
