Sweet action
For the past few weeks I have been highly involved with the latest installment of the Call of Duty series; Modern Warfare 2. Now I’m not going to blow smoke up anyone’s butt and claim to be an expert, but as an avid gamer since my youth I have grown very observant of game strategy and tactics. Okay let’s get down to business, I only play online. I am quite sure that the content of the campaign mode would be unique and entertaining, but let’s face it; it’s much more fun to kill real people…wait computer people controlled by real people. I love the chaos of online multi-play, and with the different achievements and leveling process this game can become seriously addicting. While playing online you have several choices in the type of match which you can play. I would have to say that the regular team deathmatch is my favorite, but the HARDCORE team deathmatch is much more intense. In this arena there is no mini-map, you don’t know how many bullets you have, you don’t have crosshairs on your weapon, one bullet kills you no matter where you get hit, and there is no kill-cam so you don’t know where you were shot from, and you can kill teammates with friendly fire. Okay, now there are really only two ways to effectively “own” at this game
. The first would be camping, which is a more realistic way of combat where one would find cover in a high traffic area and just wait for the “nubs” to fall into your trap. This may keep you from dying, but I guarantee you that you will seldom be the top of the kills list. The other method of “owning” is the road few people travel, and this is mainly because the skills necessary to be at this level usually come after countless hours of game play. I will call this tactic seek and destroy because you do just that. To become good at this you must become great at handling your character, equip him with supplies that will enable you to navigate the map quickly, have a great deal of knowledge of spawn point, and be mister quick-from-da-hip. With these attributes under your belt it will be easy to be leading the pack in kills, but you may also be the guy with the most deaths because one of the major downfalls to being a champ is that you rarely know exactly where the enemy is. Well, this is just a small look into the realm of Modern Warfare 2, and if you every want to cross hairs, some pun intended, you can find me on the Playstation 3 network “oakmania3030″.

this looks like a badd-ass game. I would love to be really good at this game, but alas i’d get my butt kicked.
