Running shoes: Much like TDM, Kill Confirmed is a run-and-gun-type game mode, but more importantly it is a running mode. You can very well be the key to your team’s victory without firing a single bullet. Throw on some Running Sneakers to increase your Tac Sprint and run the entire map, dodging enemy fire and scooping up Dog Tags.
If there’s a Dog Tag, there’s likely someone there: Dog Tags require an elimination, and the objective is to collect them and win. This means that if there’s a single Dog Tag in the open, then there’s likely someone watching it to see if they can collect yours when you attempt to grab it. Take the indirect approach and eliminate the threat before moving in.
Shotguns and SMGs: Even though Kill Confirmed can be played on any of the Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III maps, the fights that are the most important will take place in short range. Getting shot from long range is a real threat, but being able to eliminate your opponent up close so that you can score a point when you collect their Dog Tag is far more valuable.

Recruit Tactics
See a Dog Tag, collect a Dog Tag: Kill Confirmed is not just about eliminating enemy players; it is also about collecting their Dog Tags. If you see one on the ground, whether it’s a friendly tag or an enemy tag, collect it. Do this simply by running over it. Even if this means you’re eliminated immediately after you collect the tag, you have likely helped your team (either by increasing the score or by preventing the enemy team from doing so).
Stick with your team: All it takes is one member of your team to survive a fight. If everyone except the last person on your team is eliminated in a scramble, then that surviving teammate can collect all the Dog Tags left on the ground. Although both sides may have had casualties, the spoils go to the victor, and the whole team benefits.
Stay close to your equipment: There is a variety of Operator equipment you can use that is very much “set and forget.” However, in a mode like Kill Confirmed, forgetting about the Claymore that just gained an elimination for you can also mean losing out on the Dog Tag that just dropped on the ground. If you’re setting traps with your equipment, stay nearby and collect those Dog Tags.
Advanced Tactics
Bring a friend to the fight: There’s nothing worse for your team than being caught alone or becoming overextended. Even if you’re skilled enough to take out three enemy Operators, all it takes is a fourth to eliminate you before you collect your Dog Tags — gaining the enemy team a point while your team gains nothing.
Having that teammate with you not only makes fights easier, but it also significantly raises the odds of your team being able to collect Dog Tags if one of you goes down.
Smoke and collect: Whether it be Smoke Grenades, Flash Grenades, or Stun Grenades, tossing one of them before you move out of cover to collect enemy Dog Tags can prevent the trading off of a point for a point.
Remember, if you see Dog Tags sitting there, so can your opponents. If someone has a long sightline to a group of Tags, they may be waiting for an enemy to grab them. However, you can cut off their sightline with a Smoke Grenade or two, allowing you to collect those Dog Tags more easily.
Bait your Tags, not your friends: If there’s a single friendly Tag in the distance, it’s okay to sit back in a sniper nest and wait for someone to come for it. Either you’ll take out your opponent as they go for it, giving your team time to grab both the friendly Tag and the enemy Tag, or the enemy will pick up the Tag and you’ll down them at the same time.
Eliminating an opponent who just collected one of your teammate’s Dog Tags usually ends in an even one for one. It’s not a good idea to let multiple Tags float out there, so try not to make it a habit of letting even one remain available for pickup. However, if you want to use one for bait because you think you can take another one or two in return, then go for it.
