How to Play Domination-Black Ops Tips & Hints

This times post is about how you can play domination in Cod black ops better. Over the past year I have played a fairly good amount of domination and have learned special tactics that I would like to share with the rest of you.

As an individual:

The main thing in domination is to capture flags A,B, and C and the longer you hold them, the more points you get. Two teams fight with each other and try to gain control of more flags and therefore, try to gain more points. To win, the first team that reaches 201 points wins.

For domination you don't need specific custom classes like you do in Search & Destroy. You can use any gun depending on the map. Domination games are usually best in Firing Range and Summit. The main thing one has to do as an individual is to guard the flags or try to capture enemy flags. The main tip in domination is to capture and defend the flags. While playing domination don't try to get more kills. Don't try to stack up killstreaks. Play solely for capturing and guarding the flags. Your kills and killtstreaks will automatically stack up if you are nearer to the flags. If you go to a place where there is no flag, it is highly unlikely that you will encounter an enemy. But, if you stay close to the flags, you will be given easy kills as you know that enemies are going to come, but the enemy will not 'always' suspect you to be there.

While guarding the flags:

While you are guarding the flags you don't have to go anywhere besides staying near the flag you possess. For example, if you think that the enemy is continuously attacking Flag A then stay around that flag and kill the enemies when the stand in the flags radius to capture your flag. You might have heard the term 'camping' before. If you have, you would have been told that its an awful thing, but to tell you the truth it is a good way for acquiring kills and especially a good way to guard the flag in Domination. Now, I am not telling you to sit in one spot and keep on shooting those who come in your way. Stay in the flags area, but keep changing your hiding or 'camping' spot so that the enemy that you killed before doesn't kill you because if you that enemy was killed by you when you were in one place, naturally he will come there and this time suspect that you are sitting there. By changing your spot, the enemy will not easily find you and then again, he falls prey to you. 

While capturing flags: 

In capturing flags and playing aggressively you will not be able to gather killstreaks easily but you will get a lot of kills if you play well. The main thing you have to do here is repeatedly go into enemy territory and try to capture the enemy flag for points. You have to watch out for those campers and also those who re-spawn  near the enemy flags. Its better to be playing with a sub machine gun in medium and small maps. Look around be fast ( try to have more sensitivity ) and lay prone while capturing the enemy flags. Then if you capture successfully either retreat or start guarding that area. While you are capturing you have to be careful because when you start capturing an enemy flag, all the enemies receive a voice notification that _ flag is being captured. Automatically, they will try killing you so that makes it necessary for you to be extra careful. 

Playing as a team member:

When you are playing as a team, the main thing you have to do is again, capture and defend the flags. But, never try to catch all the flags, NEVER. The reason being is that when you capture two flags and leave one with the enemy, the enemy will always spawn next to their own flag. This enables you to create a spawn trap which will get you loads of kills, easy kills. The enemy will be in a sense tortured. If you take all three of the flags, the enemy will spawn randomly and then can easily take away your other flags. 

These are the main tips that you should use while playing domination to be successful and have a good KD ( Kill death ratio ). Follow and subscribe to me and learn other tips and hints about Call Of Duty Black Ops.
