vital piece of information that a player can know; knowing this information and
utilizing it, is what professional players like to call Playing the Objective. While a
teammate may be very good at killing opponents, if he is not playing the objective
then from a goal oriented point of view he is useless. A good player needs to know
what he needs to do in order to win the match, many times I had the odds stacked
against me but my knowledge of the game mode allowed me to secure my team
the victory even though the other team had the clear advantage. One tactic that I
employ to win sometimes is called baiting. After my teammates plant the bomb and
I am the last one alive ; I wait by the bomb ,hiding, for an enemy to begin defusal of
the bomb. As my opponent is busy defusing the bomb and the countdown still ticks
down. I know that it takes 7.5 seconds to defuse the bomb and if he started bomb
defusal at 10 seconds , if i kill him at the 5 second mark no matter if his teammates
kill me, my team will win the match as the bomb cannot be defused in that short
amount of time.
Language plays a vital role in discovering the discourse of Call of Duty : Black
Ops II. There are a finite number of maps that are used in competitive play and as
such knowing the maps is key in a successful match. Call outs are words or
phrases that gives a teammate vital information concerning the map or location of
enemies. For instance my teammate might say Two double D, one shot with a
DSR, this phrase means there are two enemies located Double D which stands
for a point on the map where there are two dumpsters. One shot with a DSR
means that the enemy is damaged and therefore one bullet away from death, the
DSR refers the the type of gun that the enemy has which is the DSR 50 caliber - a

sniper rifle. Using this information I know that if I were to head to the two dumpsters
I would be able to get one easy kill as a sniper rifle is weak in a confined spot such
as double dumpsters. Memorizing popular callouts can help a team identify the
locations of enemies. What separates a good team from a great team is how the
team creates their own unique call outs. My team have specific terms that we use to
set up our formation in order to defend a bomb. One person is Anchor which mean
that he is in direct defense of the bomb. We have two pushers whose job it is to
go around and try and pick off enemy stragglers. We also have the Ninja Defuser
who hides and watches the bomb from afar just to perform the Baiting tactic that I
mentioned previously.
The people that you interact with the most are your teammates. My teammates
were Chase Grier, Johnny Trinh, Devaughn Outerbridge. Johnny Trinh was our team
supporter and objective player. He did not have any particular skills other than
assault rifles and shotguns but his play style was consistent and you could count on
him to help you secure a location. His attitude was a goal oriented one as he
focused on how to win the game, but he also had a temper which led the team into
some enemy traps. Chase Grier was our rookie hotshot. After joining our team he
consistently was the top of the leaderboards in kills. He was so good that many
times he single handedly won us entire games using only a pistol. Devaughn
Outerbridge was our short range specialist as shotguns and sub-machine guns were
his forte. He would walk into a building and be the only one to walk out alive. I was
the teams strategist as well as the long range support. I used to spot enemy
targets and give call out to my team mates or take him out if I had a clear shot.

Teamwork and Self-Sacrifice are two important values that I have learned
while learning the discourse of Call of Duty. As I practiced more and more with my
team and we got better and better, I realized that what mattered to us was whether
we won the match or not. I would sometimes sacrifice my life by rushing first into
enemy territory if it gave my team an advantage by letting them know where the
enemy team was hiding. Practice was the key factor in improving my skills and the
more I practice the more i learned about the game and what to do in certain
situations.
