Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Online Multiplayer Tips and Etiquette
- Primary weapons are only used by homosexuals. Why bother trying to master a rifle when secondary weapons offer shotguns that eliminate the need for accuracy and skill.
- Secondary weapons are clearly best. As the old adage goes: First the worst, second the best, third the nerd with the 62% accuracy and 17.89 kill/death ratio.
- Akimbo is a German word that means "win." Always shoot from the hip, it was good enough for Rambo.
- Even though the action is fast paced and exhilarating, take the time to remind everyone how "close" you were to getting a nuke last round. Explain that you just needed 2 more kills (and 38 less deaths, but that's not relevant information).
- Do not use the blast shield. Anyone who uses it is a hacker, stop exploiting the game mechanics.
- Having the Painkiller perk constantly active only serves to prove that you hate the current map.
- Keep in mind that anyone who isn't constantly running, jumping and spinning is a camper.
- Yell at anyone using a sniper rifle. If you are in the prone position you are cheating.
- If you are unfortunate enough to have a sniper on your team try stabbing him to show your resentment for his being alive. [I use the male gender-specific pronoun because girls don't play MW2. Screaming 8 year old boys (a.k.a. N00Bs) can sometimes be confused for a female talking because the longitudinal sound waves produced by air passing through their vocal chords are identical.]
- There are literally hundreds of perk combinations to choose from. Save time experimenting by picking the best ones: Commando Pro, Lightweight, and Unlimited Sprint.
- Kill cams are for losers. Skip them to get back in the action faster. Voice complaints about the same guy killing you the entire game.
- Remember, there is no 'I' in team, but there is an 'I' in "all your base are belong to us."
- If you are what the law would consider an adult be sure to yell at prepubescent children. Name calling is the best medium to display your intellectual superiority and to teach them respect and maturity. May I suggest using the words: bitch, fag, homo, gay, smelly stupid face, and Bolshevik to add some much needed colour to otherwise dull internet harassment.
- If someone is better than you at the game you should threaten to 'kick their fucking ass' in real life. Nothing says tough bad ass like internet anonymity.
- Last and least, if you are the subject (victim) of a game winning kill cam, call the kill "cheap, lame, lucky, bullshit, retarded." Verbal abuses will keep you warm during those times you are lost in a blizzard of embarrassment.
