Modern Warfare 2 Strategy Guide Part 1 Styles of Gameplay

I. Styles of Gameplay

A. Run-and-Gun

This style of gameplay is my current favorite. Basically, it involves you always being on the move, searching for opposing players to kill. You are likely to get some good kills this way. The odds are stacked in your favor. But, keep in mind that this will likely give you the most deaths too. Something you should probably keep in mind if you are worried about your Kill/Death ratio.

B. Sniper

Sniping is both challenging and very rewarding. In the beginning, the only enemies you are likely to kill by sniping are other snipers and campers. The reason is because moving targets are much harder to kill. On top of that, your enemies usually don’t die with only one shot unless it is a headshot or you are playing a Hardcore match. More on that later.

C. Stealth and Melee

I consider this a kind of hybrid playing style. Some people are just ridiculously good at knifing your entire team. This is one of those instances where you wish there was a scrotum punch button. They are fast, undetectable, silent, and if they don’t knife you they still have silenced weapons and Semtex at their disposal. Beware the ninja.

D. Camping

These players can make life miserable for everyone, even if they don’t kill you. How? Because of the constant whining and vulgar slurs they produce in teenage boys. A camper will find a nice high traffic area and wait. Then, as soon as a body enters their line of sight, they blast them. Don’t confuse these guys with snipers. There is a difference. Campers are there to farm kills as easily as possible.

E. Hybrid

These obviously won’t encompass every player and their favorite style of playing. I’ve seen people play with a Blast Shield, the Danger Close and Scavenger perks, Frags, Rocket Launchers, and a Riot Shield for an entire match. I’m fairly confident he was a pyromaniac. The important thing to remember is that you don’t HAVE to fall into one of the aforementioned styles. Have fun and do what works for you. Unless it is camping. In that case, just don’t play. Ever.
