Knotdead_Yett - Veteran
I would like you nominate myself for Veteran position. I am currently Eighth Prestige on Modern Warfare 2 and climbing quickly on the PS3. I am very proficient with all weapons and equipment. My primary tactic is using OMA for quick, mobile support. I have a good knowledge of all maps such as; good camping spots for your team to hold, sniping spots, strategical tactics and enemy’s approximant spawn points.

Squelliot
I am nominating myself for the rank of "Experienced" because of several things. One I know a great many amount of multiplayer tricks and tips and is usually in first place by 10 kills on the PS3. Second is I have played through the campaigns several times because my internet was broken so I know many things about singleplayer. And finally I'm a skilled Nazi Zombies/Spec Ops Player, I'm in the third prestige, I would be in the fifth but I haven't been prestiging for MW2 and I'm level 30+ on COD4 (I don't play it very much) and with World at War I'm in the second prestige rank 30s, I hope this is good enough.

Proposed Guides
For proposed guides, place it as a topic for discussion here and organize the authoring of it on a Forum Subpage.

M4A1
This is the first assault rifle available in the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, so I figure it would be a great starting point for a guide, we could outline strengths and weaknesses, and tactics playing on those strengths and when used with the different attachments, as well as recommended secondary weapons. Who would like to help out, and where should we actually put the guides? I was thinking that we could put them on a weapon subpage(this one might be M4A1/Guide).

 * Agreed. The M4A1 is a good all around assualt rifle that's used extensively. Rambo362 20:43, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

I would be glad to contribute! (see specialties) --TMOI {Reply} 06:53, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

MP5k
This is one of the first SMG's available in MW2. I have already written a guide, and I would like to show it to you guys. It states which attachments and perks are recommended, as well as basic facts about the weapon.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 11:35, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

AK-47
I'd like to contribute with a guide to the AK-47. I have used it every prestige in MW2, and have over 1000 kills on the Veteran challenge, and having mastered the weapon, have good knowledge on how effective the attachments are. Being the last weapon available in MW2, many players may not use it a lot as they are progressing through the prestige mode, and I think I could write a guide to help players for when they stop prestiging and actually use the weapon. I also have experience using it in Call of Duty 4, if that can also be added in. -  12:59, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Question — As seen on my blog, I'm getting a PS3 as well as a copy of MW2. However, I'm not familiar with the game's controls, so are there any tips/suggestions that can be given to help me adjust?Hax 217 00:28, June 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Experienced - Answer - If you just want to adjust, just play some splitscreen with a friend, and get used to the game controls.


 * Answer - Play some single-player. The very beginning of the campaign is an unavoidable tutorial that will teach you the controls. Blinzy45 04:34, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Question - I play MW2 online quite a bit, and was wondering if you have any tips for getting my deaths down, as I got the game fairly recently. 11th Explosion 


 * Veteran - Answer - Reflect on your own actions. Without anyone watching you and coaching you, the best thing you can do for yourself is to look at every one of your deaths. Before KillCam pops up, ask yourself the same questions: why did I do to get myself killed? Could I have avoided the situation? Watch each replay and pick out the moment that got you killed. Did you reckless run into an open area? Did you have a case of tunnel vision, falling victim to repetitive habits and going through the same areas over and over again? Most new players have an automatic mindset of running towards the "front" without paying any attention to their surroundings. Be patient, slow down, follow your team, and take your time. There's no reward for sprinting around and getting to places faster. Get behind cover, scan your area, get to know the map, and eventually you'll find yourself staring at the KillCam less frequently. --Scottie theNerd 12:34, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
