3rd Person Team Tactical

3rd Person Team Tactical is a game type that was added onto Modern Warfare 2, three days after the release. The original 3rd Person game types were 3rd Person Team Deathmatch, 3rd Person Hardcore Team Deathmatch, and 3rd Person Cage match. 3rd Person Hardcore and Core Team Deathmatch were taken off the same day 3rd Person Team Tactical was added onto the list of available game types. It has been seen as a good decision that Infinity Ward added this game type back into Modern Warfare 2, as people who bought Modern Warfare 2 on launch day were very disappointed that the gametype was taken out. The gamemodes include Domination, Capture the Flag, Demolition, Team Deathmatch.

Trivia

 * In third person, if you melee while you go prone, you will attack with the butt of your gun instead of a knife.


 * It is still possible to create 3rd Person Hardcore and Core Team Deathmatches in a customized private match online.
 * Pressing the Shift button (PC), left stick (xbox) or L3 (ps3) will make you switch from a left or right shoulder view while aiming down the sights.

Tactics

 * Take cover behind an object, but make sure you can see around the corner. This way you can see incoming enemies, while they can't see you, giving you a massive ambush advantage.. This is especially useful in objective maps, or using such items as C4.


 * All optics unlocked for weapons decrease the size of the reticle when looking down the sight of the weapon, and at the same time increases how far the "zoom-in" is when you look down the sight. The Heartbeat Sensor cannot be viewed, but a player can still hear the blips it makes as it picks up heartbeats.
 * This game mode is an easy way to unlock Extended Mags through FMJ penetration kills, as you can see around corners, and shoot people through them easier.
