As you all know its my birthday today and with all the hard work ive been putting in trying to reach my challenge of moving up a prestige level by the new year, I have not had time to post on here for a few days. Heres an interesting guide to noobtown, sorry nuketown I copied and pasted.
In this article, I will be revealing the best Black Ops Nuketown gameplay tactics so you can start dominating on this map.
Map Overview
Nuketown is one of the most popular maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops, so study well and expect to play it often.
This is one of the smallest maps in game and as a result, expect to see a lot of action. Games on this map rarely last for more than 5 minutes.
Here is a picture:
Spawning Areas and Camping Spots
Players spawn at the north and south ends of the map. One of the best places to hang out is in the starting area (the gardens marked by the red and green insignias on the map), as you can pick off players as they spawn.
Many times an entire team will spawn at once, making this area and exciting place to be in. Make sure your back is against the wall if you want to stand a chance, as players will be spawning constantly.
Know that this works both ways. If the enemy team is camped in your spawning area, and your team is battling them, and they kill most of your team, the spawn areas will actually switch sides.
You can spawn in your spawning area and 15 seconds later have the enemy team spawning there. Many players try to camp on around the two main houses only to get surprised from behind when the spawn areas switch.
Best Nuketown Weapons
Since this is a very small map, you want to stick to sub-machine guns, shotguns, and perhaps an Assault Rifle if that is your preferred playstyle.
As mentioned above, long-range shots from one building to across the map are not very viable given the tendency of the spawning points to switch. It is possible with a bit of teamwork (on Team Deathmatch), but only if your team can secure one of the buildings given how many entrances each one has.
I think a silencer is one of the best weapon attachments on this map, especially when combined with Sleight of Hand.
Best Nuketown Perks and Weapon Combos
On this map, you rarely have time to aim, especially if you are participating in the melee that is the spawning areas at either end of the map. If you do like to aim when shooting, make sure you grab Sleight of Hand Pro, because you will need the increase in aiming speed to survive in the face-to-face combat this map provides.
My favorite combo is grabbing a submachine gun (such as AK47U, depending on your level), grabbing Lightweight, Steady Aim, and Second Chance, and then attaching a silencer or Dual Wielding (your preference).
Lightweight is amazing at this level if you are good at strafing (moving side to side), and with Steady Aim and a sub machine gun, your accuracy from the hip is actually quite good, and you do not need to aim anywhere in the spawning areas or buildings (where most of the fighting takes places).
Nuketown Strategy
With some practice strafing, you can kill 99% of players in a head-to-head fight when shooting from the hip (i.e. not aiming) with the combos mentioned above.
Remember that players will simply try to aim and shoot you, which is very hard if you are moving side to side, so strafing is key. Moving front to back does not help; moving the crosshairs up or down a little bit is easy. It is a lot harder side to side!
Hang out in the north and south areas of the map and strafe against other players without aiming. With a bit of practice, it works amazingly well and you will dominate this map. The rest of the guide can be found by clicking

I however have a different strategy of dealing with nuketown. Follow these 3 easy steps and you will no longer have the frustration:
1. Once the level starts press button (1)
2. Scroll down to Leave game.
3. Press (A)
Problem solved!
You can now go get on with some PROPER gameplay in a PROPER level that is not the size of a matchbox designed for those relying on luck rather than skill to get points.
Have a merry [X]mas guys
