Modern Warfare 2 - Tips Tricks and Tactics

Many people do not think special grenades can affect gameplay and how many kills you can have. This is not true as a well timed smoke or a good stun grenade can help out out in the best of ways. For example on wasteland if you threw a stun grenade before entering the middle hallway you could daze all the enemies inside and when you run in rack up all your easy kills. But which is the best grenade you might ask? For me the answer is easy, stun grenade to slow them down. But everyone has there different playing style, some people may like the smoke with a sniper class or a running class. Just use a wide variety and find what you like. One suggestion could be using smoke on capture the flag to get it and run away without the enemies seeing where you went. Special grenades can be useful on many game types for an offensive or defensive play type. Smokes are mainly for defensive as they help run to another spot without being detected. Flash and stun are normally offensive as you throw these in while attacking a base or enemy. But its all up to you what you do with the grenades! Remember to use your special grenade as they can be just as useful as any other equipment.

Tactical insertion, This was one of the newer things in modern warfare two it is a flare that you can place to chose where you will spawn next. It can be destroyed by enemies and can be picked up again by the the user. For friendlies the flare is green. But enemies see it as red. The class I think most used with the tactical insertion is the sniping class as you can spawn in a place that is best for you and will give you an advantage over other players. Some people use the tactical insertion as a distraction in search and destroy. They put the insertion over the planted bomb, when somebody goes to diffuse they have to destroy the insertion first. this then warns the enemy who planted it that someone is trying to diffuse the bomb. This is a very good method but how can you counter this? If you see a tactical insertion over the bomb, what you should do it destroy it from afar then you will see the enemy wander out to try find you. Then you can proceed to eliminate him. Another good way to use a tactical insertion would be on demolition or domination when you are taking a flag , or have planted a bomb if you plant a tactical insertion you can defend your bomb or flag better because you wont spawn right next to it. In my opinion not many people use the tactical insertion to its full potential. Therefore I think this is a good piece of equipment but should only be used in certain situations.

Claymores, these where a very powerful weapon in call of duty 4. In cod4 you got two claymores to plant as you wish. On modern warfare two you only receive one claymore but you can pick up another when using the scavenger perk. This can be then used to cover hotspots in maps and also entranced to where you are camping/sniping. I have used claymores alot, I mainly used them on sniper classes as when the doors are claymored it makes sniping alot easier as I dont have the feeling that im always going to be stabbed. Sometimes claymores are tho only thing that can keep you alive. But you should never rely fully on claymores as somebody with lightweight can run straight past them and also the click is a big giveaway so sometimes moving away can happen. So you should be ready to hear the click to kill the enemy. If you are the one who is facing a doorway that you fear has a claymore around it, think if there is another entrance. If you are not sure I would just leave it and search for someone else to kill. There are plenty of people to kill all the time!

To everyone who reads this blog, thanks! If you could tell all your friends about it I would be so happy!

The throwing knife is a knife that can be thrown at an enemy player, It deals 135 damage to the opponent just like the melee knife meaning that it is a one hit kill anywhere on the body. It can ricochet of certain walls and floors if it hits them at the right angle and it will still be as deadly. People who use this find it very hard as it doesn't throw straight and takes alot of practice to get it right. The arc that it follows is the same as the grenade. I find that getting alot of kills in a match with this is hard. Some people can use this as deadly as any other equipment as they have practiced alot. I would suggest using this with a silent class as it is very hard to notice a throwing knife pass you unless you hear it or see it whiz past your screen. Many people use this as a novelty item to use in private matches to do "throwing knife only". The only way I use the throwing knife is when im using a riot shield because people come towards you and it only takes a second to throw it then you're covered again. If you use scavenger the bag will replenish your throwing knife. In conclusion I would only use this equipment in private matches and while using a riot shield. Below is a good knife montage I found:
