While on the offense

Alright, let's talk about how to really push the offense in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Planting the bomb is a key objective, but you gotta do it smart. Don't just rush in and plant it right away, because if the enemy diffuses it, you'll lose the round. That's a huge bummer, so we want to avoid that.

Here's the deal: your first priority is to thin out the enemy numbers. Take out most of the enemy soldiers until it's really tough for them to find you. Once you've cleared out a good chunk of the opposition, *then* you plant the bomb. The trick is to plant it and then get yourself into a good hiding spot to wait for them to come and try to diffuse it. This is where the real strategy comes in.

Now, when you're waiting for the bomb to explode, try to stay away from it if you want to rack up those kills. If you're too close when it goes off, you might lose a kill from your score, which is a shame when you've worked hard for it. Honestly, I don't pay super close attention to the exact timer – I'm usually too focused on doing my part to win. But I think it's around a minute, give or take. Someone's gotta be the hero, and if you're good at dodging enemy fire, that could be you.

If you find yourself as the last one standing on your team, this strategy is even more crucial. Before you even think about planting, make sure at least three-quarters of the enemy team is eliminated. Then, plant your explosives and find a really good hiding spot, somewhere far away from the bomb itself. Don't just hide behind something obvious or in a doorway right next to it – so many players do this, and it only works against folks who are new to the game. You need to be smarter than that. My best secret strategy is to hide well away from the blast zone. Trust me, a lot of players, even some pretty experienced ones, don't seem to know this trick, so you'll have a real advantage.
