I'm creating a guide on how to use the weapons that you use effectively and to increase your skill with your techniques and ones that I'll make up. This is more like an introduction to my guide. I'll put tips, weapons, etc. down. You may add to the guide in a way. How? You can ask questions, so it'll be like a FAQ. You'll be able to request tips, techniques, strategy, and other stuff. I hope this'll help you in a way.
---Why Trust Me?---
You don't even have to trust me, who says I'm a good player? There isn't any proof. But if you'd like to play against or with me, you may contact me by my Gamertag which is NitrousPeak . There still is no proof I'm good, but I still ask you actually consider anything I'm going to say. So trusting me is all up to you. I'd prefer you trusting me, but whatever. Moving on...
---The Weapons I Use?---
I'm all around depending on the level. I can be compatible with every weapon. An easy suggestion is to swap your pistol for the enemy's weapon, which most people know anyways. I'll begin with the Russian facts/strategies/techniques/tips for this and the following guide.
-Moscow, Russia Weapons I Use-
(NOTE: I'm never Axis in Russian levels, even if team balance is required. The first weapon stated is more commonly used.)
Deathmatch: Scoped Mosin-Nagant, Mosin-Nagant
Team Deathmatch: PPSh, Scoped Mosin-Nagant
Capture the Flag: PPSh
Headquarters: PPSh, Mosin-Nagant
Search and Destroy: Scoped Mosin-Nagant
(I do hope you know what all the game types are like.)
-Stalingrad, Russia Weapons I Use-
(NOTE: I always use the PPSh.)
-Leningrad, Russia Weapons I Use-
(NOTE: I always use the PPSh.)
Why!? The PPSh is what you could call cheap, with 71 ammo and all, I use it though. Kill-raker. The enemy feeds you when you use this cheap thing. Well, nothing can be cheap in a skill game. Knowing the controls is important, being alert, and calm, vigilant, is other things needed to be utilized in playing. I'll give you information on how to use the PPSh and get 25 + kills easily. But of course, I only use them in Stalingrad and Leningrad, so I'll teach sniping and Mosin-Nagant soon. Don't worry, I've used every weapon in the game.

Key expectations
1. The ultimate rush.
2. Environmental eye.
3. Wide-awake, calm.
I call it the Black Scream Rush.
You can use it only mostly in the Russian levels with the PPSh, practically impossible to use with other low ammo SMGs. The sub-machine guns in this game are the PPS42, PPSh, Grease Gun, Thompson, Sten, and the MP40. PPSh plus the PPS42 are the two Russian ones, but get more ammo than those other guns, which is why it is better in the Russian levels. The Thompson disappoints with only 20 ammo. Junk, don't Black Scream Rush with it, but you could use it in some American levels. In British areas, the Sten is preferred for the 32 ammo. Probably mostly in the dark place (El Alamein). Grease Gun is pretty funny, but you can use it, just no Black Scream Rush with it. American places aren't fit for it. I really should say French, but you get to use the gun for the Americans.
Anyways, Black Scream Rush works tremendously well in Leningrad. You could use it in Stalingrad too. Simply put, the Black Scream Rush is a rushing tactic. OFFENSE! For the definition of rush, it's going in the enemy territory like a suicidal maniac, which most beginners do, but experts do it as well. Rushing is not a bad thing, it can be very effective, as long as you kill more than dying. Now say you're in a game, you need help, so you invite a friend to join you. If your friend is dying more than killing, he isn't helping. Bad choice for inviting, no offense to your friend. So a goal in rushing, is to quickly kill people equivelant to two kills to one death, or better. That's what you want, but MORE! Two to one isn't that good actually, but you are helping, don't get me wrong...
Fire before you're even in site of the enemy, especially with the PPSh, 71 ammo? I doubt you'll run out if you sight the enemy. Also, reloading frequently can get into a bad habit. With 71 ammo, reloading at 50 is wrong. Reloading after a kill isn't necessary, do it when the time is right. If you know where the enemy is with either PPS, hold the trigger button for shooting, enter the room where they are or whatever, and blast them into oblivion. You need to get a head start with these guns, completely necessary.
To wrap up rushing, which this is definitely not the last rushing lesson! I barely scratched the surface of rushing. But, clinching it is me saying why I named Black Scream Rush. Well, the PPS guns are black, and the PPSh looks like something from the MAFIA. And for other self-explanatory reasons...
I call it Zero Strike.
Zero Strike is basically considering the environment with pretty much any weapon. No one really looks at the details of the level and says "You really are going to make me win!". Guess what? If you said that, you can make the statement true. Analyzation of the level is important. You need to know the level, need to know where everyone snipes, and more importantly, be one with the environment and details of the level. Know EVERYTHING. Use it. Most people think there really isn't much cooperation with the environment like there is in other shooters. They're right. But that doesn't mean you can't use the environment for your dirty work in winning and as an advantage. Just consider it. Players who solely focus on the environment to win are not bad players. They're really good actually. So the tactic Zero Strike is not bad for very observant people. You'll get what I mean sooner or later...
Wide-Awake and Calmness
Not a mere technique/tactic/strategy, but a simple tip. Don't celebrate, don't be waiting in one area thinking no one is going to come there. THEY'RE GOING TO COME WHEREVER YOU ARE! So I suggest not going to the bathroom or whatever thinking no on is going to come. Go before the match. Being wide-awake is something easily learned. Use the tip, it may not help by a lot, but believe me, sometimes the key to winning is by being vigilant. And for being calm and not pissed off at people doing you after a Search and Destroy and you're the last one dead. Plus not being pissed at continuously shooting you after they killed you. If you be calm, you can get them off guard laughing at how ridiculous they are. There's other reasons to be calm too, it helps. Not to mention, after you will them, you can continuously shoot them or whatever, but still be vigilant, which is why I put the wide-awake + calm thing together.
