modern warfare 2

Ok, I am guessing you have reached this article after being killed many times on Modern Warfare 2. On Modern Warfare 2 you have both good and bad days and even professional players don’t go positive 100% of the time.

Class Setup
Now first we will go over the thing that separates this game from the many FPS games, classes. You can’t go positive if you hate the weapon you are using. Some great classes are;
A Pistol with Tactical Knife and any primary weapon. Perks are Marathon, Lightweight and Commando. If you haven’t unlocked the tactical knife then use the ‘First Recon’ class which has a .44 Magnum with Tactical Knife and Marathon, Lightweight and Ninja. You will unlock the Tactical knife while using this class to knife people. The best maps for this class are the smaller, inside maps.
An Assault Rifle with a Grenade Launcher and perks of One Man Army, Danger Close and Any third perk. With this class you constantly use your Grenade Launcher and once you are empty, use One Man Army to ‘switch’ to the same class. If you haven’t unlocked One Man Army then Scavenger is a good alternative. The Best Maps for this are medium-large maps as you don’t want to get in a close range fire fight with a Grenade Launcher. This will get hate mail though so don’t use it ‘back to back.’
If you understand quick scoping then you could try using the Intervention (preferably with FMJ) along with Sleight of Hand PRO, stopping power and any third perk. A quick Google search will find you videos, tutorials and more on how to quick scope. It all comes with practice and preferably try it in a Private Match with friends. This class is probably the least fool proof although if you get good at quick scoping then you can rack up 30+ kills in a single match. Not to mention if you quick scope on the final kill cam expect a lot of cheers as quick scoping is probably the most eye pleasing kill cam.
Now you have a class set up we need to go over some basic tips that will help regardless of class.

Sound

You must always be looking to your sides and behind you. If you have a high sensitivity then this will help but at the same time if a high sensitivity is hard for you, no point in enabling it!
