How To Get Better at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

This post will tell you how to become a better player on call of duty: modern warfare 2. Lately my friend and I have been using these tactics and have significantly improved our game and our kill/death ratio.

1: Use your speakers!
MW2 is amazing in grpahics but however many gamers do not use the amazing sound to their advantage. For the best results, I suggest using a surround sound system or gaming headset while playing MW2. If someone is dashing by or firing to your rear, you can tell where they are coming from. This tactic can be very useful in search and destroy when you are the only person alive. Also you can hear footsteps and locate enemies and save a lot of deaths. If you are stuck in search and destroy and cannot find anyone then just wait, be patient and listen.

2: Use tactical layout!
Many gamers do not know this but the tactical layout is far more beneficial then the default layout. This is so because for the tactical layout the right analog stick makes you go prone which is the actually the B button on the default layout. It is a lot easier to drop shot using tactical layout then it is using default. A drop shot is basically when you are shooting an opponent as you are going prone. This helps me and my friends in many situations because the other player is not expecting you to go prone while shooting so this gives you a great advantage.

3: Be smart and know the map!
Whenever your playing a game that involves a lot of strategy such as sabotage you should know the map inside and out. Make sure you play smart and stick to the outside of the map since you can pick people off in the middle of the map. You will be much more safe running around the map then running in the middle of it since there is a lot of traffic there.

4: Build up your kill streaks!
If your a new player and have just started playing call of duty, make sure you choose low killstreaks because then you can build up those kill streaks. Instead of picking a chopper gunner or putting on an AC-130, my friends and I chose kill streaks like 3-5-7 which is uav, predator missile, and harrier strike. This allows us to build up our kill streaks and get as many kills as we can.

5: Raise your sensitivity!
Raising your sensitivity will give you a better reflex and also turn around and aim much quicker at the opponent. You should also not stay in one spot the whole game but rather pick a territory such as a building and circulate around it. This is extremely beneficial in free for all.
