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.

I would like to nominate myself for the position of "Experienced". I have over 5 days worth of multiplayer for every game, in every game since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I am knowledgeable on the mechanics of the game and weapons. I have studied the maps in each game extensively, including the maps in the Resurgence Map Pack and Stimulus Package. In addition to my multiplayer experience, I also have played the Single Player, Nazi Zombies and Special Ops portions of each game extensively. I am very much willing to help newcomers, both to the series and to the wiki, learn the "tricks of the trade", as it were. Help available for Xbox 360 only. Hk37 Need help? Contact me here! 01:28, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Munchable901- Experienced
I have extensive knowledge about Modern Warfare 2, that's why I would like to nominate myself for the position of "experienced." My specialty is mostly Gameplay. I have a good amount of knowledge of MW2's campaign, the characters, the weapons, and where intel locations are placed. I have beaten the campaign on Veteran. For Spec Ops, I am very familiar of the missions and locations of the missions. I can also provide some tips as well for the challenging missions, particularly the Echo section. Multiplayer, I fairly know a lot about. Hours of playing time, currently, I am on second prestige, and have no desire to prestige again. I know when camo is unlocked, as well as the weapons. I know a little about tactics, although I can provide tips about claymore/C4 placements. I play on 360 versions of MW2.  Munchable901  |TALK?  03:35, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

CoD addict - Veteran
I have beaten all main Call of Duty campaigns on Hardened difficulty since Call of Duty 2; I have extensive XBOX 360 multiplayer experience in all main installments. Multiplayer tactics from Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 maps are my specialty.

Advancedwarfighter- Experienced
I may not have much gaming time under my belt, but when I go online in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, I am either the MVP, or the loser at the bottom, for I am very creative when it comes down to tactics. Right now I'm perfecting a tactic for survivability during head- on approaches and guerilla raiding. I am also well- versed in how to maximise your class for the best results when using a certain technique. Only one- two missions away from 100% completion of MW2. I am PS3 player

Bumblebeeprime09- Experienced
I may be a rookie at the COD wiki, but I want to be an experienced person, since I am level 70, first prestige, and i have been that rank for a long time. I play on PS3, and I own Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I have destroyed many boosters (If that counts for something). I know how to use most guns, and I am pretty sure I could give some good advice on each gun. Being a person that hunts boosters, I know many points that are good for ambushing and sniping, among other tactics and styles of gameplay (On MW2), and i think i could educate a new player on using weapons correctly and using the person's surroundings on a certain map to their advantage. That is what i have to prove I am experienced. Bumblebeeprime09 Talk Blogs 23:15, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Cpl. Ross- Experienced
I have extensive knowledge for MW2 campaign, having beat every level on Veteren without dying. And found all enemy intel items. Also proficient in multiplayer tactics for any match type, except S&D or Hardcore gametypes. Play on Xbox 360, 1st prestige, 70- not going to prestige again. Could write page for UMP45, having used it for 100% of Multiplayer playtime. Good with running and gunning, stimulus maps, and Objective capturing. Especially good on rust, Highrise and Bailout. Have completed every challenge for UMP45, except master III (headshots prestige). Also proficient with the USP45, PP2000, Stinger, and the M93 Raffica. Also can help with campaign of CoD4.

Although I have a low edit count, I am on the Wiki at least 5 times a day, and make a good 20 edits every day.

This is why I think I should be chosen as an experienced player. Cpl.  Ross  01:39, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I started this group, I've got (I think) about a week of multiplayer time on MW2, and am already well on my way to third prestige, I've played the single player of every Call of Duty game on Xbox (excepting the original and WAW), and have completed the campaigns of 2, BRO, 3, 4 and 6 several times over.

Maj.Gage - Veteran
I have completed 100% of MW2 on campaign, I'm on my 3rd Prestige on my inactive account, and have a ratio of 1.07 on my active one. I have a general understanding of the weapons and how they compare with Single Player and Multiplayer versions. Other than MW2, I have completed CoD:4, CoD:3, and BRO.

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).  Warpig  3|1|2 13:20, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * 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)


 * Here it is. http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:W567123daniel/W567123daniel%27s_guide_to_the_MP5k#W567123daniel-20100618113848

What about it?  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 16:10, June 27, 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)

I'm happy to help Scotland on this. I have the Ak-47 Veteran III challenge, Mastery and a fair way to the Master challenges too. He's also right in saying it's a weapon not often seen simply for the level requirement, so with my long time standing of being level 70 10th prestige, i'm pretty familiar with the weapon and it's limitations. The-Dreamcaster 12:03, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

SPAS-12
I'm working on a SPAS-12 guide. I've got about 1,000 kills with it, so I have some experience with it. Darkman 4 17:05, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Again, i'm willing to offer my extensive multiplayer knowledge to this as i've got the Veteran III challenge and Master I challenge done with this. I know it's effective range and plenty of information about where it is most useful. The-Dreamcaster 12:15, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Intervention
Me and Darthkenobi0 have been discussing an Intervention guide. I have used it more than any other weapon in multiplayer, and I could provide some useful information.

ACR
I have had lots of time using the ACR, and I feel that I can provide some good tips for other users. 23:27, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

UMP.45
Without a doubt the most popular SMG in multiplayer a great gun half of my six classes have it I know good class setups and tactics with it as well as basic gameplay tips. I feel that I could effectively write a guide and recieve help from the community if needed.Foxtrot12 08:53, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

I may also be able to write this guide, having used it since level 4 of no prestiege to now, and into the future. I have class set-ups for all different situations, plus one that can work for everything. All six of my classes are dedicated to this gun. I Also know tactics to inmprove on the UMP45's abilities, plus tactics to hide its flaws. I would also be willing to work with Foxtrot12 to make the guide even better.

Cpl.  Ross  15:53, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

USP .45
I may be able to write this guide, having used it around 60% of multiplayer time, having achieved Veteran II, and Master I. I know what primary weapons couple with this sidearm very well, and what fills in the gaps and hides the flaws and weak-points of the USP .45 to use it as a primary weapon.

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)

Question - Why is beating MW2 on Veteran and buying Call of Duty: Classic on certian users qualifications? I have done both of those and I know I can't make it on this!  Conqueror of  all Zombies  Ta lk  03:05, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Veteran - Answer - They shouldn't be. Beating any CoD game on veteran can be accomplished simply through trial and error. Buying a game can be accomplished by anybody. I don't know why they are regarded as important, but apparently they are. 08:47, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Similarly, rank and prestige is more a matter of time than of skill. Without any verifiable and objective guidelines as what would constitute a "Veteran" player, people are putting up anything relevant. In effect, it seems any player can claim to be experienced in any field. Very few Veterans and Experienced players have any claim to notability outside of just playing the game. --Scottie theNerd 11:43, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, trial and error breed a certain amount of skill and knowledge, that is why prestige and rank are being posted. Basically beating certain games is more of showing that user can answer questions about the game but will now be removed :) TimSim (talk) 13:39, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Question - Should we create new guidelines for how to become classifid as a Veterans/Experienced player? Conqueror of all Zombies 19:59, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Veteran — Answer — Yes, we can! But this isn't the place to ask.Hax 217 00:52, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Question - Why are people still playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?

Experienced - Answer - Some people enjoy the game. 11:22, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Answer- this is a pointless question, if you think that people shouldn't play this game, then don't play it, and if you are just wondering, then this question does not fit here.



Question - Are we supposed to ask questions regarding gameplay here, or can you direct me elsewhere? Brainwasher5 18:54, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Experienced - Answer- Yes, that's one of the main purposes of this page. Rambo362 12:23, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Question - I read the Call of Duty Wiki:Ask A Veteran/L86 LSW Guide and I had some remarks/questions about. But the most important one was the following. I use Lightweight as a Tier 2 Perk, but it wasn't in the guide. I use it to move faster from place to place, but is it a bad "combo" or should it be added in the guide? Jupitus 15:27, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Experienced - Answer- You can ask the guide writers to put it in, but this question shouldn't be asked here. Rambo362 12:23, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Experienced - Answer - No, not at all. That is actually an excellent choice, especially for Light machineguns, since they aren't light. Lightweight is useful for that weapon and that weapon class, it can help you move around faster, which, in the long run, will definately help you in matches like Search and Destroy, Domination and Capture the Flag. 12:29, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
