You don't need a launcher to down a plane in multiplayer.

For all intents and purposes, Sledgehammer Games' latest entry into the long-running Call of Duty franchise is an excellent return to form. Giving the series a new lease on life - ironically by returning to its World War 2 roots - the devs have shaken up the COD formula completely for the latest sequel.

Introducing a wealth of new modes and radically changing up the style of play though, the latest Call of Duty can actually take some getting used to, regardless of whether you're a returning veteran or a newcomer.

Because despite overhauling just about everything, the game doesn't do a good job of communicating what's been changed or how to best use the additions that have been included in the sequel, meaning that multiplayer matches are initially nowhere near as enjoyable as they should be.

Fortunately, now that players have had a chance to get themselves acquainted, the best ways to get the most out of your time on the battlefield are finally becoming clear. COD: WW2 can be an exhilarating experience once you've gotten the swing of things, and there are a few tips and tricks that are essential if you want to come out on top in every single match.

10. Shoot Explosives Rather Than Waiting For The Timer In War

In order to defend objectives in War, players are encouraged to build obstacles and barriers that can halt the progression of the enemy team. On the other hand, attackers have the ability to lay down dynamite and blow these defences away to clear the path to their objectives.

However, with the time limit in this mode being as sensitive as it is, deciding to not only plant explosives but then wait for their fuses to go off can leave you vulnerable, especially when you have enemies hot on your tail.

Fortunately though, instead of waiting around for the explosive to do its job and risk getting shot, you can speed the process up by shooting the dynamite as soon as you've placed it, negating the need to wait for the timer to tick down.

This little trick is a good way to speed up your attacks if you need to be in a position quickly but the enemy has blocked your path, while a sudden explosion can allow you to catch opposing players off guard who think they have a few seconds to find cover once they hear the dynamite's ticking timer.
