This one vid has BY FAR helped my game more than anything else I've ever come across in all the years I've been playing COD!! It's been less than a week since I started the drills and I admit that I've went overboard with my routine, but I'm seeing results so fast already. I created some drills for myself in the shooting range which include shooting from all positions including mounted. At first try I didn't think I could even drop the farthest target with my fennec, now I'm able to drop it consistently. For the first time I practiced strafing and yesterday I used strafing to get 3 longshots against snipers who were shooting back. I'm also recording my games now and critiquing them. Despite me thinking I was centering ok, replays were showing me having a bad habit of always centering on the ground in front of me. I also noticed that I run into blind corners in high traffic areas, giving someone a kill on a silver platter. Also, I've noticed during playback that mounted is king - if I get into a gunfight with someone and we both shoot at the same time, if he's mounted his gun and I'm not then I die. So practicing mounted shooting is now also in my routine. Now I'm an average player at best, but ordinarily even less than that. But last night in Shipment I got 57 kills with 23 deaths. That may mean nothing to many of you but to me that would normally be unheard of. I'm not expecting to become an amazing player but I do have a goal to stop getting killed in situations where I should have lived, like shooting first and ending up dying anyway. I'm actually quite stoked about the results I've been seeing so far and I never would have made the connection between doing drills and playing if it wasn't for this vid.
I’m an older gamer in my upper 40s with minimal twitchy reflexes, so aiming has become a really important skill. After watching this video (multiple times), I’ve done daily sessions with these drills, combining them in different ways. While I found my passive aim was ok, the biggest change came when I learned to control my recoil. After a few days I’m already noticing a difference in my gameplay. Went from 0.8-1.0 in games to close to 2.0, and set a new personal best of a 15 kill streak, which was unthinkable before. The SBMM is starting to take notice, though, but that’s okay because I know my skill is objectively better after applying this vid.
@@The.Toaster 47 here and still enjoying the twitchy shooters. Young kids make their money on cracked out movement but solid real tactics still rack up body counts.
I'm 39 and I'm feeling my age in competitive gameplay. So I stick to roles that suit my strength like riot shield build for holding down objective and healing support class in mobas.
Great tutorial! Another thing to mention is target prioritization. You breach a door and find yourself up against two enemies. Your crosshair immediately falls on the one that's directly across the room looking out a window. But just to the right is the other enemy and he's already lining up on you. It can take practice to force yourself to pull off of the easy kill first and prioritize the greater threat - the enemy who's rifle is pointed at you. It may sound simple, but this can be a tough one.
Agreed, I learned that while playing on Shipment, there's a ton of players coming from all the ways and sometimes you need to decide on who to kill first. Otherwise you won't get shit.
You might as well get the easy kill and trade bc if someone is to the right, it takes more time to turn and shoot, then it does to just shoot straight ahead immediately and trade before dying.
This is by far the best aiming tips video on MW2 on TH-cam that I've seen since the game was released in October. Practical tips other than controller settings with actual exercises. Bravo. Earned a fan and a sub.
You've made a really nice breakdown on how to practice your aiming skills. I also like that you've emphasized on the "slow is precise, precise is fast" method. As someone who plays CoD since the days of CoD 4 and MW2, let me throw some of my experience into the ring here: - First and foremost: If your sensitivity isn't set to very high or very low, avoid switching it around. You'll only adapt to your dps if it's a constant, so changing it can drastically worsen your precision. - Get comfortable with your loadout and the maps you're playing on, find what works best for you first. - Practice is key, but time off is king. Just like with irl workout, you shouldn't overstress your skills by playing every day for weeks and months without end. Instead, take some time off after a while of playing, this works especially well in CoD. Think of a chart that displays time and average skill. In the first weeks/months, your skill will increase, but you'll hit a wall after a while. You'll notice that you've reached this wall the moment you get frustrated that you don't improve any more. So take some time off of CoD, for me it was always something like 2-3 weeks, maybe even longer, just do something else. When you hop back on, you'll start slightly below where you left, but once you're warmed up with the game again, you'll most definitely improve beyond your previous threshold. Do this over and over, and over time, your skills will improve and things will feel more and more natural to you. Trust me, I've done this since 2012. - Keep an eye on your surroundings in matches, learn which routes players pick and where the hotspots on your map are throughout the match. Use this information for your aim drills and intentionally aim at the hotspots, also practice counter rotation routes. - Implement a fixed hour of practice on one day of the week that fits your personal schedule best, stick to it and commit to that hour of practice. Your consistency will directly influence your abilities in CoD, even if you'll take a longer break after a while. - Apart from crosshair placement, there's always a chance that someone catches you offguard. To counter this, you should learn how to flick precisely. Best is to practice with bots to improve at this. - Also for those who are more experienced, but seem to be inconsistent or lack motivation to perform better in matches: Set some goals on what to achieve, e.g. x amount of kills with a certain weapon that you don't usually use. My own favourite for this is to build off-meta guns and/or stuff that you'd see irl. This keeps things fresh and also grants you to become more experienced with more or less random weapons. The more off-meta the weapon is, the better you have to be yourself to make it work.
Holy shit. Im only 1/3 of the way in and already know this is what my aim needed. Actual drills. The 'follow the bot' drill is so good. If you can track the bot well, you will def get bet bc you dont get aim assist with friendlies. This video is gonna be my training bible. Thank you. Update: im actually realizing how bad i am. I cant even door strafe wtf. Thank you so much for this video. Back to training. Update #2: I did the first 2 drills for 15 min cuz i have little time to play and i came 2nd place with 10 kills. Thats my pr. Every gunfight felt way easier but because its not muscle memory yet, i fell off in subsequent games. He said it in the video. Perfect practice makes perfect. Im doing this for 45 min prior to gaming every time i get on to play. Update#3: I have since had 2 wins with both games over 8 kills. This works. When i first started, i had to deop my sense to 3. My ai was better but u was just a tad slow to snap onto people so i would have to be absolutely sure where they were. I stuck with it for a week and changed it today to 4. I am snapping on people easier now and my shots feel true. I think i will start to turn aa off in my practices now. This helps people. 1/2hr-45 min before the game sesh.
Something really helpful for good aiming mechanics Is shooting bots on a small map like shipment but turn your ADS multiplier up by 1% from what it usually is on 250 health. You’ll see improvement fast. Focus on using your left stick for smaller adjustments
I'm realizing how bad I am too. It's scary! I also realized something I never realized before. When you try to keep your crosshair centered while moving left/right, the right thumb movement is different. If you move left, you need to PULL your stick to the right. If you move right, you have to PUSH the stick. I'm way more accurate at pushing than pulling. Same applies to tracking a moving enemy. If they move from right to left, I don't have huge problems following them. If it's the other way around and I have to pull my thumbstick, I screw up a lot.
Thank u for all the helpful comments. I practiced for 1/2hr and only did the first 2 drills cuz i was itching to play. I came second place with my pr, 10 kills and came second because of my own mistake. Gonna do this list for 1hr before i play. This has been more helpful than any other guide out there, for me. I do not need any more aiming tips and tricks. Its exactly what i was looking for. It kinda like aim labs for controller.
Another good "tracking drill" would be like shipment or a map with objects you can trace the outline of. Start a game w/ no enemy bots and just move around the map tracing the shipping containers as you go, then try to snap to the nearest outer line of the next container etc. You could find some big pattern on a wall in DMZ somewhere too I"m sure and move around while keeping "center tracing".
it’s incredible how much i found this video helping. i couldn’t tell if i was just having a bad day yesterday, but after i tried some of the warm ups today it felt absolutely amazing. all my shots were hitting, centering was almost on point, and i js felt so much more reactive to situations i was messing up in yesterday. So in all thank you. 🙏
For the last 4 years I have had far less time to game, which means it's hard to keep up with the players that grind 8 hours a day (like I used to). But your video's have really helped with improving gameplay with little time. Thanks for sharing these tips and making these video's, there are really helpful and the best on YT.
I'm almost 40 and have limited gaming time. I play CoD mainly on weekends but I spend a good 2 hours "warming up", you can retain 90ish percent of the muscle memory if you used to play alot.
same i can only go like 2 hours a day since i have school from like 9 in the morning to 5 afternoon and i get alot of homework and tests and stuff so most of the times i just game 1 hour a day
Finally, the missing link between content and results....actual drills to practice with the emphasis on PRACTICE. Great athletes practice until they get to the point where when they cross the lines, they don't have to think. It's all muscle memory and that takes many hours of structured practice working on specific drills with entended results. You nailed it on this video. Keep up the great work. I am now a follower.
This is such a great video that's put together in a fantastic way! Thanks for sharing. That being said, if you're using a controller with aim assist, it's so strong on mw2, I find I can blindly hit a target and still get a kill and rotational aim assist will track it when little effort. Where as on Mouse and Keyboard it's much harder. And the drills you showed in this video are definitely helpful!
Great content. I'm an old guy that has been on COD since MW4. KD has been taking a big hit the last week or two. I'm convinced this will help improve the control in these old hands. Thank you for informative and ENTERTAINING content.
Video seriously helped SO FRICKIN MUCH. I have been running these drills for a week now and finally went back to MP and dominated a game of shipment. Thank you so much for the helpful drills and tips!
Man, this is super helpful. Years ago I played MOHAA and TF2 religiously, but I stopped playing shooters for years. Then I picked up Battlebit and realised all that muscle memory was gone, and I couldn't reverse engineer it to remember what I was actually doing to win 1v1s.
I feel like i am a good all round player who mostly wins gunfights however with sbmm kicking in these days even i am getting outgunned a lot more than i am used to (playing since cod4) so i think if i spend a lot of time with these drills it will help me up my game. Thanks for the tips this will help us all get better!
SBMM is tough, because sometimes it seems like we aren't making progress. Definitely recommend recording yourself too if you can! It's so helpful to watch VOD, but it's also nice to see how much you've improved over time too
Damn dude. This is one of the most HELPFUL videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve been practicing centering for a couple months and have been looking for a good aim training routine. You absolutely crushed it, Thanks bro.
Great video! Only ask is to add each tip with timestamps or a way to separate the video, so we can always start from the beginning of whatever tip we need to review. Thanks man! Subbed
Amazing video man, loads of useful tips and drills. I loved the passive aim, distance and head and shoulders centering! I practiced your drills in warzone 1 and this is just what I need for warzone 2. Onwards and upwards!! Thanks again bro. Looking forward to your streams.
Oh my God! The Myagi reference had me laughing my butt off. This is a great video! Highly informative, great practice techniques, well produced, and awesome narration. Great job!
It’s crazy It took me 3 years to get really good at that game n they put out the most uncompetitive cod I’ve ever seen it’s sad great video as always tho 👏🏾
@@dreamstrike man I don’t need slide canceling but don’t kill my play style idk I feel like the real reason I fell In love with mw2019 was because of how my character represented my play style it was different I had my own finesse my own flare on this game half of the time I’m ready to get off
Gonna save time stamps of the drills to use later - this is a great video! Very well explained and nice edits and transitions too.

This is honestly the best tips video I've seen. I was implementing some of your drills last night and damn just spending that short amount of time made a huge difference to my gameplay.
All these pro players, streamers and youtubers keep telling us how much time and effort they put in to practicing their aim, and they swear they're not hacking, honest. Then they get busted hacking. Or they fill lobbies with their bot friends. Or they have the world's fastest internet connection, a 10 thousand dollar PC, multiple macros installed on their zero latency peripherals, a billion dpi mouse on a mat the size of a small car, open back gaming headphones with 7.1 surround tuned to hear footsteps from 200m away and so on. I have been playing games since my Atari in the 80s. I had already played thousands of hours of FPS when Black Ops came out, and I co-owned the top two servers in Australasia for that game, along with having a clan of 350 people. Since then I have played COD (and Battlefield etc) with the same squad for _years._ Since BO4 I have played at least 3 or 4 hours per day, 6 days a week. That was the point I switched from PC to console. PS4 Pro, then moved to XBox Series X. So with all that experience (and yes, practising my aim with exercises, warming up etc), I still can't consistently shoot targets who are free falling, hitting every single shot like these people do in all the videos. None of my friends can either. And we win ranked warzone frequently and are pretty decent players. So you can't convince me that most of these people aren't cheating. PS: During the period when I rented the servers, myself and the co-owner bought hacks so that if we met a cheater who was resistant to bans, we could come into the server and smash them into oblivion with aimbot. That was the one and only time we ever used them as we both despised cheating (and they were boring to use anyway). So when I call hacks, I know how to spot them. And pretty much 90% of ranked lobbies on COD have at least two or three cheaters in them. If I play at night when all the Asians come on, then three out of four players in the server is fully hacking. Know how many times I get traced through a wall and then instantly headshot by someone with an iridescent emblem and a "top 250" calling card? The game is broken.
@@yconic7120 Were you trying to go for clichéd cringe comment of the year? If so, congratulations. Now run along. If you give your mother's G-spot some extra attention tonight, maybe she'll lend you her credit card so you can continue to buy cheats.
@@basta6921 There's even some that have cameras fixed on them and their screen, to "prove" they're not cheating, but the wall hacks are turned down so they're just a shadow that can be seen by the streamer, but not by the camera. And the aimbot isn't like it was 10 years ago, where it would snap to someone's forehead. Now you can fine tune it so it misses a couple of shots - whatever accuracy you like. Most streamers have it set up like a beefed up aim assist. And finally, if they do get busted cheating and reported by dozens of people, they only get a three day ban. That's why most of them have 3 or 4 accounts, and they switch between them whenever a suspension comes through. There's a documentary about it on YT and this one hacker has been cheating on the same accounts for years now, never gets perm banned and his hacks are virtually undetectable. The thing is, other games don't have that problem. In all the years playing Battlefield, from 3 to 4 to 1 and V, and even the garbage 2042 (and recently back to 1 again because it's still awesome), across all those games I've probably seen someone cheating half a dozen times. How come COD is beset by cheating? My theory is that they encourage it (and possibly even secretly run or leak code to some of the hacking sites), because the number of people who give up playing in disgust is less than the number of people who buy cheats.
This was such a great video! I definitely felt like just playing more and "practicing" wasn't helping me as a new player. Exactly like you said, I was just building bad habits. I'll give those tips a go and hopefully my next game sesh with more experienced friends goes much better XD Btw you have a fantastic voice with your narration and the editing was amazing!
What sort of bad habits were you developing? Games, especially FPS, are really honest in letting you know what works and what doesn't. Hard to imagine what sort of bad habits playing the game was encouraging.
Beautiful touch this is the stuff you had to pay for years back. One I was told was increasing your sensitivity for 30 mins and just stick at it then turn it back down to your normal sensitivity and see how much easier it feels to control your aim on your settings.
Great tutorial and vid, not only was it engaging, simple instructions/drills it was also funny as. I did appreciate the vid clips. I have been working in centering alot too as that is what all good players say. It would be interesting if you did these with basic guns and very little attachments like new players have or don’t have. The guns you are using are spec’d out and that does make controlling your recoil so much better
had to pause the freaking video just to come here and thank you...tutorial quality is AMAZING... Just keep doing what you're doing the way you're doing man I hope you youtuber carrer freaking rocket launch! =) God bless o/
I feel like one thing to note is that your sensitivity is much fast when not aiming them it is when aiming. So if a person is able to run out of your peripheral then it’s probably better to let go of aim for a split second to be able to turn fast enough to hit the target again Especially in point blank situations or when you’re near corners or entryways
I don't believe this guy. He sounds like he put a lot into a cover story. It seems more like he is cheating. I quickly see he doesn't really seem to use the tactics he listed but rather stands in places often in the open use cover like a wallhacker. I question if the correct amount of recoil is even happening or if he is applying anti-recoil. There are a lot of points that show a lack of actual skills. He sits like he is tracking with wallhacks or a radar hack. Does he have a larger number of video recordings, which could be reviewed because there is software to fact check for recoil cheating now and understanding if he is cheating with location data. Cheaters down talking themselves, wiping out every player in a whole part of the map. His editing picks could explain some of the suspicious things going on. Even editing can't counter how he seems to have bad tactics and scans the terain so poorly some how just seeming to know where player's are located. He has the directional fixation wallhackers get from knowing that there no player near them in some directions. The only reason that could explain it is that he a complete noob but the problem is no comes from directions he doesn't seem even look. He starts to pre-aim without having any reason for doing so a lot. It is possible that more video content could disprove that seemly suspicious behavior is the result of cheating given the editing and limited nature of content. He could do a muit hour unedited live stream and post it here.
man one thing i've noticed about cod games, mainly the more recent ones on infinity ward's engine, is that it can get really hard to tell what you're looking at (especially with mwii) - either that or i'm going blind also you did a very good job with the editing :)
Hello mate. I just wanna appreciate the way you editing this video. Im a picture editor and working for one the big media cooperation in Britian, about 15-20 years and its the fist time I watched a video with that level of creativity and nice editing techniq in game industry . well done to your editor and u mate
Great video. Connection has a lot to do with it too. Exceptional aim doesn't matter when you're lagging. I get robbed often because cod servers are terrible with an average ping of 45ish and above. Sadly, I'm also playing hardwired. Unfortunately, Activision doesn't care about all their customers getting the best outta their product.
thanks man, this is very useful and at a good moment 👍 After gaming 26 years with Keyboard and mouse, i wanted to learn to game with a controller. So got myself the Xbox elite 2 controller and started to practice by just running around in private matches, this will really help me.
So, right now, I'm the 'before' version of you on the game. And I've been feeling discouraged and helpless. Who knew there was a 'boot camp' to change that. I'm definitely going to put in the work because I have buddies that only play with me because I make them look good. Time to dominate. Appreciation and thanks.
My man: I am an older veteran gamer who has consistently done drills, boot camps, and shit to improve over the years. THIS is THE best tutorial on improving your aim on the internet. 🔥 💪🏼 👑
This has helped me a lot. More than I could have ever assumed. Quick 20 min warm up before hoppin in Warzone and I’m so damn sticky I’m getting called a hacker!!! Biggest compliment in COD
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much for this!! I appreciate this extremely valuable information because this is exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed.
Smart man. Good advice. Thanks: will work on these in dmz. Since I play it often. Everyone should work on FPS if you can. This is an massive help… faster fps and smoother game play is the foundation for all of your skills. Lower your quality settings and see how much easier it is. Sometimes you don’t even notice that your game play is not smooth due to the graphics engine trying to smooth it out. You can be skipping frames and don’t even know it. Snipping is also another one I have Ben practicing and it’s Greta practice in dmz.
Just found you today bro I don’t play cod but def gonna help with almost all fps just wanted to say your editing on this bro is top tier great quality video not just for the information but the structure of it.. 🙏
Having good game sense, knowing the lay out of the map your playing, knowing where the spawn points are etc will eventually make you a better gamer overall.
Im a new subscriber and I must say this video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I look forward to watching more of your videos!!!! Im excited to practice these drills! No streamer has ever shown these practice exercises! So I enlightened and intrigued!!!
Leider nicht auf Deutsch,aber gibt ja zum Glück sowas wie Untertitel 👍 Abo geht trotzdem raus, sofort das Gefühl du weißt wovon Du redest und dadurch noch viel lernen kann und möchte 👍
A lot of these tips I did during the middle of warzone 1(mid pandemic) went from a .89 kd to. 2.2 in a year. These tips are do awesome and people forget competitive gaming is like sports. You practice to get better. Keep up the vids papa live the advice
Well said and great drills. I used to practice back on MW3, but haven't really since. Although I'm not playing competitively anymore, I still get competitive when I play and ofc enjoy it more when I'm playing at a high level like I know I can.
Dude, these drills are great. Spent like 30mins doing them, then hopped into shipment and dropped 123 kills my new pr lmao. Can already see a difference in my centering, definitely doing this routine every time I hop on from now on.
I have been a great call of duty player but now with the extra practice im now unstoppable. Already launched 4 MGB since i have started practicing for a week now. Thanks for the help
Just want to add along with all the other comments that this is, by far, the most helpful tip video for COD. The drills WORK! the tracing is by far the hardest thing for me, and just picking a line on a wall and following it has been such a huge help. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
You are the realst cod teacher i ever see. You dont say, do this or this and you are better in cod. Practice doesnt make perfect, perfect Practice make perfect 👍
I love videos like this. Excellent skill improvement guide. In destiny, I watch shadow destiny for these. In cod, I think I just found my new favorite for very useful skill tuning vids. Thank you!
I’ll give y’all another tip. In gunfights don’t just stare at the opposing player, focus your eyes on the sights (iron sights or optic reticle) and try to keep your sights on the target. This is something real shooters use and it made my long range accuracy so much better
Interesting okay I will try this
I always assumed everyone looked at their crosshair when aiming, until i watched my friends and father play lol
It’s funny doing the exact opposite has made me better lol
Yep it’s game changing

This one vid has BY FAR helped my game more than anything else I've ever come across in all the years I've been playing COD!! It's been less than a week since I started the drills and I admit that I've went overboard with my routine, but I'm seeing results so fast already. I created some drills for myself in the shooting range which include shooting from all positions including mounted. At first try I didn't think I could even drop the farthest target with my fennec, now I'm able to drop it consistently. For the first time I practiced strafing and yesterday I used strafing to get 3 longshots against snipers who were shooting back. I'm also recording my games now and critiquing them. Despite me thinking I was centering ok, replays were showing me having a bad habit of always centering on the ground in front of me. I also noticed that I run into blind corners in high traffic areas, giving someone a kill on a silver platter. Also, I've noticed during playback that mounted is king - if I get into a gunfight with someone and we both shoot at the same time, if he's mounted his gun and I'm not then I die. So practicing mounted shooting is now also in my routine. Now I'm an average player at best, but ordinarily even less than that. But last night in Shipment I got 57 kills with 23 deaths. That may mean nothing to many of you but to me that would normally be unheard of. I'm not expecting to become an amazing player but I do have a goal to stop getting killed in situations where I should have lived, like shooting first and ending up dying anyway. I'm actually quite stoked about the results I've been seeing so far and I never would have made the connection between doing drills and playing if it wasn't for this vid.
I’m an older gamer in my upper 40s with minimal twitchy reflexes, so aiming has become a really important skill. After watching this video (multiple times), I’ve done daily sessions with these drills, combining them in different ways. While I found my passive aim was ok, the biggest change came when I learned to control my recoil. After a few days I’m already noticing a difference in my gameplay. Went from 0.8-1.0 in games to close to 2.0, and set a new personal best of a 15 kill streak, which was unthinkable before. The SBMM is starting to take notice, though, but that’s okay because I know my skill is objectively better after applying this vid.

This is the funnest game I’ve played in a long time

You might as well get the easy kill and trade bc if someone is to the right, it takes more time to turn and shoot, then it does to just shoot straight ahead immediately and trade before dying.
You have to make a decision in a split second. So just shoot the first target you see.
This is by far the best aiming tips video on MW2 on TH-cam that I've seen since the game was released in October. Practical tips other than controller settings with actual exercises. Bravo. Earned a fan and a sub.
You've made a really nice breakdown on how to practice your aiming skills. I also like that you've emphasized on the "slow is precise, precise is fast" method. As someone who plays CoD since the days of CoD 4 and MW2, let me throw some of my experience into the ring here:
- First and foremost: If your sensitivity isn't set to very high or very low, avoid switching it around. You'll only adapt to your dps if it's a constant, so changing it can drastically worsen your precision.
- Get comfortable with your loadout and the maps you're playing on, find what works best for you first.
- Practice is key, but time off is king. Just like with irl workout, you shouldn't overstress your skills by playing every day for weeks and months without end. Instead, take some time off after a while of playing, this works especially well in CoD. Think of a chart that displays time and average skill. In the first weeks/months, your skill will increase, but you'll hit a wall after a while. You'll notice that you've reached this wall the moment you get frustrated that you don't improve any more. So take some time off of CoD, for me it was always something like 2-3 weeks, maybe even longer, just do something else. When you hop back on, you'll start slightly below where you left, but once you're warmed up with the game again, you'll most definitely improve beyond your previous threshold. Do this over and over, and over time, your skills will improve and things will feel more and more natural to you. Trust me, I've done this since 2012.
- Keep an eye on your surroundings in matches, learn which routes players pick and where the hotspots on your map are throughout the match. Use this information for your aim drills and intentionally aim at the hotspots, also practice counter rotation routes.
- Implement a fixed hour of practice on one day of the week that fits your personal schedule best, stick to it and commit to that hour of practice. Your consistency will directly influence your abilities in CoD, even if you'll take a longer break after a while.
- Apart from crosshair placement, there's always a chance that someone catches you offguard. To counter this, you should learn how to flick precisely. Best is to practice with bots to improve at this.
- Also for those who are more experienced, but seem to be inconsistent or lack motivation to perform better in matches: Set some goals on what to achieve, e.g. x amount of kills with a certain weapon that you don't usually use. My own favourite for this is to build off-meta guns and/or stuff that you'd see irl. This keeps things fresh and also grants you to become more experienced with more or less random weapons. The more off-meta the weapon is, the better you have to be yourself to make it work.
Well put .... Great advice
Holy shit. Im only 1/3 of the way in and already know this is what my aim needed. Actual drills. The 'follow the bot' drill is so good. If you can track the bot well, you will def get bet bc you dont get aim assist with friendlies. This video is gonna be my training bible. Thank you.
Update: im actually realizing how bad i am. I cant even door strafe wtf. Thank you so much for this video. Back to training.
Update #2: I did the first 2 drills for 15 min cuz i have little time to play and i came 2nd place with 10 kills. Thats my pr. Every gunfight felt way easier but because its not muscle memory yet, i fell off in subsequent games. He said it in the video. Perfect practice makes perfect. Im doing this for 45 min prior to gaming every time i get on to play.
Update#3: I have since had 2 wins with both games over 8 kills. This works. When i first started, i had to deop my sense to 3. My ai was better but u was just a tad slow to snap onto people so i would have to be absolutely sure where they were. I stuck with it for a week and changed it today to 4. I am snapping on people easier now and my shots feel true. I think i will start to turn aa off in my practices now. This helps people. 1/2hr-45 min before the game sesh.
Something really helpful for good aiming mechanics Is shooting bots on a small map like shipment but turn your ADS multiplier up by 1% from what it usually is on 250 health. You’ll see improvement fast. Focus on using your left stick for smaller adjustments
Wow this comment means so much. You got this. Just stay consistent, and you won't even recognize your own gameplay in a few months
I'm realizing how bad I am too. It's scary! I also realized something I never realized before. When you try to keep your crosshair centered while moving left/right, the right thumb movement is different. If you move left, you need to PULL your stick to the right. If you move right, you have to PUSH the stick. I'm way more accurate at pushing than pulling. Same applies to tracking a moving enemy. If they move from right to left, I don't have huge problems following them. If it's the other way around and I have to pull my thumbstick, I screw up a lot.
Thank u for all the helpful comments. I practiced for 1/2hr and only did the first 2 drills cuz i was itching to play. I came second place with my pr, 10 kills and came second because of my own mistake. Gonna do this list for 1hr before i play. This has been more helpful than any other guide out there, for me. I do not need any more aiming tips and tricks. Its exactly what i was looking for. It kinda like aim labs for controller.
Another good "tracking drill" would be like shipment or a map with objects you can trace the outline of. Start a game w/ no enemy bots and just move around the map tracing the shipping containers as you go, then try to snap to the nearest outer line of the next container etc. You could find some big pattern on a wall in DMZ somewhere too I"m sure and move around while keeping "center tracing".
it’s incredible how much i found this video helping. i couldn’t tell if i was just having a bad day yesterday, but after i tried some of the warm ups today it felt absolutely amazing. all my shots were hitting, centering was almost on point, and i js felt so much more reactive to situations i was messing up in yesterday. So in all thank you. 🙏
For the last 4 years I have had far less time to game, which means it's hard to keep up with the players that grind 8 hours a day (like I used to). But your video's have really helped with improving gameplay with little time. Thanks for sharing these tips and making these video's, there are really helpful and the best on YT.
I'm almost 40 and have limited gaming time. I play CoD mainly on weekends but I spend a good 2 hours "warming up", you can retain 90ish percent of the muscle memory if you used to play alot.
same i can only go like 2 hours a day since i have school from like 9 in the morning to 5 afternoon and i get alot of homework and tests and stuff so most of the times i just game 1 hour a day
One the best vids yet 💪👊. The editing is top notch and cool to watch. Very very concise and informational.
Finally, the missing link between content and results....actual drills to practice with the emphasis on PRACTICE.
Great athletes practice until they get to the point where when they cross the lines, they don't have to think. It's all muscle memory and that takes many hours of structured practice working on specific drills with entended results.
You nailed it on this video. Keep up the great work. I am now a follower.
thank you Frank! love this comment. there are so many lessons we can take from sports and apply to gaming
It's a froud , dont give money to these guy , he dont send nothing, he scammed me
This is such a great video that's put together in a fantastic way! Thanks for sharing. That being said, if you're using a controller with aim assist, it's so strong on mw2, I find I can blindly hit a target and still get a kill and rotational aim assist will track it when little effort. Where as on Mouse and Keyboard it's much harder. And the drills you showed in this video are definitely helpful!
Great job my guy! I applaud the consistency in your videos and the unique style.
It's a froud , dont give money to these guys
Great content. I'm an old guy that has been on COD since MW4. KD has been taking a big hit the last week or two. I'm convinced this will help improve the control in these old hands. Thank you for informative and ENTERTAINING content.
And again, THE best edited videos on YT, hands down my friend. Tutorial is fantastic too. Keep them coming bro!
Dont do it , he dont send nothing and ask the shipping cost , but he dont send nothing, SCAM!!! FROUD
Video seriously helped SO FRICKIN MUCH. I have been running these drills for a week now and finally went back to MP and dominated a game of shipment. Thank you so much for the helpful drills and tips!
Thanks Mitchell!
We don’t deserve this tutorial! So well shot and super entertaining. Thank you!!!
WOW auto-aim all mouse trash
Man, this is super helpful. Years ago I played MOHAA and TF2 religiously, but I stopped playing shooters for years. Then I picked up Battlebit and realised all that muscle memory was gone, and I couldn't reverse engineer it to remember what I was actually doing to win 1v1s.
I feel like i am a good all round player who mostly wins gunfights however with sbmm kicking in these days even i am getting outgunned a lot more than i am used to (playing since cod4) so i think if i spend a lot of time with these drills it will help me up my game. Thanks for the tips this will help us all get better!
SBMM is tough, because sometimes it seems like we aren't making progress. Definitely recommend recording yourself too if you can! It's so helpful to watch VOD, but it's also nice to see how much you've improved over time too
I don't even play war zone but this video is so so so well made. Very professional with some humor. Well done.
Dreamstrike saving us all again
Agreed.
There is no saving this game
we really need your weapon adjustments
Fax
@@The.Toaster FINALLY ❤️
Damn dude.
This is one of the most HELPFUL videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve been practicing centering for a couple months and have been looking for a good aim training routine.
You absolutely crushed it, Thanks bro.
Great video! Only ask is to add each tip with timestamps or a way to separate the video, so we can always start from the beginning of whatever tip we need to review. Thanks man! Subbed
This video is legendary.. true gamechanger advice!
💯
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video man, loads of useful tips and drills. I loved the passive aim, distance and head and shoulders centering!
I practiced your drills in warzone 1 and this is just what I need for warzone 2.
Onwards and upwards!! Thanks again bro.
Looking forward to your streams.
Oh my God! The Myagi reference had me laughing my butt off. This is a great video! Highly informative, great practice techniques, well produced, and awesome narration. Great job!
It’s crazy It took me 3 years to get really good at that game n they put out the most uncompetitive cod I’ve ever seen it’s sad great video as always tho 👏🏾
i know... really wish they would go all in with movement tech and a ranked mode
@@dreamstrike man I don’t need slide canceling but don’t kill my play style idk I feel like the real reason I fell In love with mw2019 was because of how my character represented my play style it was different I had my own finesse my own flare on this game half of the time I’m ready to get off
A superbly well-put-together video. This is super informative with well-paced narration and content that supports it. What a fantastic find
Gonna save time stamps of the drills to use later - this is a great video! Very well explained and nice edits and transitions too. Bravo

I love the 80’s vibe. Great video, great content, great delivery, great editing.
0:53 me... every bloody game I play
This is honestly the best tips video I've seen. I was implementing some of your drills last night and damn just spending that short amount of time made a huge difference to my gameplay.
All these pro players, streamers and youtubers keep telling us how much time and effort they put in to practicing their aim, and they swear they're not hacking, honest. Then they get busted hacking. Or they fill lobbies with their bot friends. Or they have the world's fastest internet connection, a 10 thousand dollar PC, multiple macros installed on their zero latency peripherals, a billion dpi mouse on a mat the size of a small car, open back gaming headphones with 7.1 surround tuned to hear footsteps from 200m away and so on.
I have been playing games since my Atari in the 80s. I had already played thousands of hours of FPS when Black Ops came out, and I co-owned the top two servers in Australasia for that game, along with having a clan of 350 people. Since then I have played COD (and Battlefield etc) with the same squad for _years._ Since BO4 I have played at least 3 or 4 hours per day, 6 days a week. That was the point I switched from PC to console. PS4 Pro, then moved to XBox Series X. So with all that experience (and yes, practising my aim with exercises, warming up etc), I still can't consistently shoot targets who are free falling, hitting every single shot like these people do in all the videos. None of my friends can either. And we win ranked warzone frequently and are pretty decent players. So you can't convince me that most of these people aren't cheating.
PS: During the period when I rented the servers, myself and the co-owner bought hacks so that if we met a cheater who was resistant to bans, we could come into the server and smash them into oblivion with aimbot. That was the one and only time we ever used them as we both despised cheating (and they were boring to use anyway). So when I call hacks, I know how to spot them. And pretty much 90% of ranked lobbies on COD have at least two or three cheaters in them. If I play at night when all the Asians come on, then three out of four players in the server is fully hacking. Know how many times I get traced through a wall and then instantly headshot by someone with an iridescent emblem and a "top 250" calling card? The game is broken.
you're just bad lmao
@@yconic7120 Were you trying to go for clichéd cringe comment of the year? If so, congratulations.
Now run along. If you give your mother's G-spot some extra attention tonight, maybe she'll lend you her credit card so you can continue to buy cheats.
And if you asked streamer, can i watch behind you when you drop 40+ bomb to verify you play legaly, they decline.
@@basta6921 There's even some that have cameras fixed on them and their screen, to "prove" they're not cheating, but the wall hacks are turned down so they're just a shadow that can be seen by the streamer, but not by the camera. And the aimbot isn't like it was 10 years ago, where it would snap to someone's forehead. Now you can fine tune it so it misses a couple of shots - whatever accuracy you like. Most streamers have it set up like a beefed up aim assist.
And finally, if they do get busted cheating and reported by dozens of people, they only get a three day ban. That's why most of them have 3 or 4 accounts, and they switch between them whenever a suspension comes through.
There's a documentary about it on YT and this one hacker has been cheating on the same accounts for years now, never gets perm banned and his hacks are virtually undetectable.
The thing is, other games don't have that problem. In all the years playing Battlefield, from 3 to 4 to 1 and V, and even the garbage 2042 (and recently back to 1 again because it's still awesome), across all those games I've probably seen someone cheating half a dozen times. How come COD is beset by cheating?
My theory is that they encourage it (and possibly even secretly run or leak code to some of the hacking sites), because the number of people who give up playing in disgust is less than the number of people who buy cheats.
This was such a great video! I definitely felt like just playing more and "practicing" wasn't helping me as a new player. Exactly like you said, I was just building bad habits. I'll give those tips a go and hopefully my next game sesh with more experienced friends goes much better XD Btw you have a fantastic voice with your narration and the editing was amazing!
What sort of bad habits were you developing? Games, especially FPS, are really honest in letting you know what works and what doesn't. Hard to imagine what sort of bad habits playing the game was encouraging.
This is easily the greatest call of duty tutorial of all time, felt like watching a movie lol great editing/music choice etc. A+
Beautiful touch this is the stuff you had to pay for years back. One I was told was increasing your sensitivity for 30 mins and just stick at it then turn it back down to your normal sensitivity and see how much easier it feels to control your aim on your settings.
Another Masterpiece
What a good video. Haven't seen a banger like this in a while. Good work and thank you!
Great tutorial and vid, not only was it engaging, simple instructions/drills it was also funny as. I did appreciate the vid clips. I have been working in centering alot too as that is what all good players say. It would be interesting if you did these with basic guns and very little attachments like new players have or don’t have. The guns you are using are spec’d out and that does make controlling your recoil so much better
had to pause the freaking video just to come here and thank you...tutorial quality is AMAZING...
Just keep doing what you're doing the way you're doing man
I hope you youtuber carrer freaking rocket launch! =)
God bless o/
So helpful, thank you for your time and effort in this video. We as a community appreciate it :)
Perfect practice makes perfect is something my band instructor used to tell us. You’re the only other person I’ve ever heard say that. I love it.
I feel like one thing to note is that your sensitivity is much fast when not aiming them it is when aiming. So if a person is able to run out of your peripheral then it’s probably better to let go of aim for a split second to be able to turn fast enough to hit the target again
Especially in point blank situations or when you’re near corners or entryways
There's a setting that you can change to make them basically equal
@@anthwor what is that
Such an amazing video. Not only the info is good but the editing is also amazing and funny! For sure share this video with my friends. Thankas
I don't believe this guy. He sounds like he put a lot into a cover story. It seems more like he is cheating. I quickly see he doesn't really seem to use the tactics he listed but rather stands in places often in the open use cover like a wallhacker. I question if the correct amount of recoil is even happening or if he is applying anti-recoil. There are a lot of points that show a lack of actual skills. He sits like he is tracking with wallhacks or a radar hack. Does he have a larger number of video recordings, which could be reviewed because there is software to fact check for recoil cheating now and understanding if he is cheating with location data. Cheaters down talking themselves, wiping out every player in a whole part of the map. His editing picks could explain some of the suspicious things going on. Even editing can't counter how he seems to have bad tactics and scans the terain so poorly some how just seeming to know where player's are located. He has the directional fixation wallhackers get from knowing that there no player near them in some directions. The only reason that could explain it is that he a complete noob but the problem is no comes from directions he doesn't seem even look. He starts to pre-aim without having any reason for doing so a lot. It is possible that more video content could disprove that seemly suspicious behavior is the result of cheating given the editing and limited nature of content. He could do a muit hour unedited live stream and post it here.
You just quoted my coach and I love it. "only perfect practice makes perfect, otherwise you're just learning bad habits." You had
nice guide for a 0.6 aim assisted brain
Damn finally some really good FPS advice. The video is perfect. Script, clips, editing and of course the content is legit. kudos!
That cronus is 🔥
No pain no gain
We all have one 😊
man one thing i've noticed about cod games, mainly the more recent ones on infinity ward's engine, is that it can get really hard to tell what you're looking at (especially with mwii) - either that or i'm going blind
also you did a very good job with the editing :)
Bro making video about aim while playing on console lol
Your video inspiring me as a new player bro, respect🔥😊
You had the worst aim until you started cheating right?
This is one of the best and well organized video on improving aim. I’m definitely Improving. Thank you!!
That beginning part of the vid is definitely me. Years of crappy habits and moving the controller don't help. I will try these!
Hello mate. I just wanna appreciate the way you editing this video. Im a picture editor and working for one the big media cooperation in Britian, about 15-20 years and its the fist time I watched a video with that level of creativity and nice editing techniq in game industry . well done to your editor and u mate
Really nice video editing man! Thx a lot for the drills, will try implementing them too. Have a great day 👊🏼
Great video. Connection has a lot to do with it too. Exceptional aim doesn't matter when you're lagging. I get robbed often because cod servers are terrible with an average ping of 45ish and above. Sadly, I'm also playing hardwired. Unfortunately, Activision doesn't care about all their customers getting the best outta their product.
thanks man, this is very useful and at a good moment 👍
After gaming 26 years with Keyboard and mouse, i wanted to learn to game with a controller.
So got myself the Xbox elite 2 controller and started to practice by just running around in private matches, this will really help me.
So, right now, I'm the 'before' version of you on the game. And I've been feeling discouraged and helpless. Who knew there was a 'boot camp' to change that. I'm definitely going to put in the work because I have buddies that only play with me because I make them look good. Time to dominate. Appreciation and thanks.
bro, you earned my sub in 2mins, your editing is so sick!!! Love it.
My man: I am an older veteran gamer who has consistently done drills, boot camps, and shit to improve over the years. THIS is THE best tutorial on improving your aim on the internet. 🔥 💪🏼 👑
This has helped me a lot. More than I could have ever assumed. Quick 20 min warm up before hoppin in Warzone and I’m so damn sticky I’m getting called a hacker!!! Biggest compliment in COD
Great video. I'll add that playing the Rocky IV training montage music on loop whilst doing these drills gets great results. 👍
I finally found my coach.
These drills really create good results.
Thx a million times bro grts...
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much for this!! I appreciate this extremely valuable information because this is exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed.
Smart man. Good advice. Thanks: will work on these in dmz. Since I play it often.
Everyone should work on FPS if you can. This is an massive help… faster fps and smoother game play is the foundation for all of your skills.
Lower your quality settings and see how much easier it is.
Sometimes you don’t even notice that your game play is not smooth due to the graphics engine trying to smooth it out.
You can be skipping frames and don’t even know it.
Snipping is also another one I have Ben practicing and it’s Greta practice in dmz.
This is probably the best warzone video out there, the content, the explanation. Well done man.
Thank you Johan!
Probably the best aiming video out there
Wow. That's a well put together video. Wishing you the best for your TH-cam channel. Thank you.
This dude is Myagi bro. This helps me in my game and in real life. Thank you buddy. I have my subscription for life
Just found you today bro I don’t play cod but def gonna help with almost all fps just wanted to say your editing on this bro is top tier great quality video not just for the information but the structure of it.. 🙏
Having good game sense, knowing the lay out of the map your playing, knowing where the spawn points are etc will eventually make you a better gamer overall.
Im a new subscriber and I must say this video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I look forward to watching more of your videos!!!! Im excited to practice these drills! No streamer has ever shown these practice exercises! So I enlightened and intrigued!!!
Leider nicht auf Deutsch,aber gibt ja zum Glück sowas wie Untertitel 👍 Abo geht trotzdem raus, sofort das Gefühl du weißt wovon Du redest und dadurch noch viel lernen kann und möchte 👍
A lot of these tips I did during the middle of warzone 1(mid pandemic) went from a .89 kd to. 2.2 in a year. These tips are do awesome and people forget competitive gaming is like sports. You practice to get better. Keep up the vids papa live the advice
Love to see anyone who encourages putting in some work and sharpening that iron
Well said and great drills. I used to practice back on MW3, but haven't really since. Although I'm not playing competitively anymore, I still get competitive when I play and ofc enjoy it more when I'm playing at a high level like I know I can.
This is great man. I def going to try these drills out. Only been gaming 2 months. I get massacred in multiplayers.
Thank you for this aim drill, i've been trying to find ways to improve my aim on controller. This hits the nail on it's head :D
Dude, these drills are great. Spent like 30mins doing them, then hopped into shipment and dropped 123 kills my new pr lmao. Can already see a difference in my centering, definitely doing this routine every time I hop on from now on.
123 ??? 😂😂😂
Fantastic choice on AGST - Fights! Reminds me of Magic Sword, Lazerhawk, and similar. Love synthwave.
I have been a great call of duty player but now with the extra practice im now unstoppable. Already launched 4 MGB since i have started practicing for a week now. Thanks for the help
I love ur channel bro ur voice isn’t annoying like every other cod TH-camr
I'm older and, lemme tell ya. this is a great tut. explained very well. edited very well. thank you my guy.
Just want to add along with all the other comments that this is, by far, the most helpful tip video for COD. The drills WORK! the tracing is by far the hardest thing for me, and just picking a line on a wall and following it has been such a huge help. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
You are the realst cod teacher i ever see. You dont say, do this or this and you are better in cod. Practice doesnt make perfect, perfect Practice make perfect 👍
You deserve more attention man! Great video🙌🏼
W vid ty bro also congrats on hitting 100k!!!
I have to say. At least for me, this was the best most helpful video. I’m not bad, but struggle at times. This video was helpful.
Awrsome vid. excellent info, especially about focusing on the small but very important repititions.
Coming from a veteran fps player (who does t have any difficulty aiming) - this was a great, Great video!! Hats off homie.
Imagine sweating in video games and having legit workout routines. 💀
I love videos like this. Excellent skill improvement guide. In destiny, I watch shadow destiny for these. In cod, I think I just found my new favorite for very useful skill tuning vids. Thank you!
Came for the help on my aiming stayed for the hidden gems and life lessons along the way 🤘🏿
Damn: this is a wonderful video. Absolutely going to practice these. Thanks for the info! (This video alone made me subscribe. LOL)
First time seeing your videos. Subscribed for well thought out and nicely edited content. Now time for me to go practice these things on Warzone!
Excellent video!! Wish I saw it years ago when I was playing OG mw2 and Bo
