Er, a "dangerometer"? How has your game changed?

Over the past month I've really changed the way I play the game and I've also developed some sort of new perception of some kind methinks.

Recently I find that as travel through a map, I can feel the level of danger rising and dropping as I turn corners, clear rooms, stick my head out from a balcony, dash across an open area, hear pairs of footsteps approaching, or even while being in a firefight. And when I do die I think "well, that figures...." If I spectate someone else, they might do something and I'll think "NO! DON'T DO THAT! GOOD GOD" As a result though, my K : D has increased but my caps have decreased methinks.

I find that I've also really changed the way I play the game over the past month. Instead of going for that temporary cap deep in your rival's zone, I'll play "asshole guerrilla" and take out as many as I can and relocate. I manage to piss of hundreds of players on Anzio like this (as Axis). Instead of capping the flag and getting killed, I've manged to give my team some leeway and mobility to cap the other flags easier while I can finally nab that last one if I'm still standing.

But yea, what kind of things do you find yourself doing that are helping your game out?

My game has changed too. I charge forward constantly. I usually ever stop moving forward, unless i'm next to enemy spawn of course. I do use more caution though. I know where people will come out and how many will usually be there so I can gauge from that. I think anzio is the only map where i am not cautious. That is my cap map. I just challenge myself to get as many caps as possible. I've gotten 70 some in theville IV twice.
My game plan hasn't changed much though, I am just better at killing people so I can go further more often. I suppose I will eventually become like Ten Yard and just piss people off. I probably do it now, but I could do it more by stayng alive longer.

If i think there is an MG aroudn the corner, i send a team mate, if he gets wasted, i'll send another to see if he's still there. The guys gotta run outta ammo sometime...

My game has... been shut down

. My school decided it needed to block the port used by the Ville and most other servers. There's a couple of pubs I can play on, but most of the time the competition is at a level where it's a waste of time. That and I have a massive project due in 3 days.... sleep is overrated.

The way I play the game has radically changed since you first introduced me to DoD, but you already know that Ten Yard. Before I used to be a pr0nestar/KAR whore, but as I've continued to play I've shifted more towards using guns like the STG44, Fg42 Zweinbein, the BAR and the Bren and trying (trying being the operative word) to get in the face of others.
I'm trying to become an 'asshole guerrilla' but I'm still a bit of an objective whore...I will go for a flag if I think I can take out anyone in my way, or the coast is clear, but I won't die to get an objective like I used to. I haven't developed a DoD spidey sense, but you get a sense for the patterns certain players like to use on a given map just by playing against them in a few matches.
Also I've adopted the tactic of using a meat shield, if I'm unsure of wether or not the coast is clear, I'll let someone else run ahead and get gunned down by an MG, then throw a primed nade at the MG, or try to catch him reloading with a shovel/knife.
