Things i learned from playing MW2

Marines & TF141 soldiers are so hard when they get their own blood in their eyes they don't blink.

Commercial Airliners would still be able/willing to fly over Washington DC, many hours into a major ground war.

If you want to make an omelette, you gotsta break some eggs.

Laptops are unexpectedly robust & have surprisingly good battery life, even when left on & open amongst trees in snow.

What did you learn?

Re: Things i learned from playing MW2

One thing I learnt from playing MW2 (Free For All) is that people just love camping. Don't they just love it!?

Maybe on the next MW they could introduce a tent instead of a UAV for a 3 kill streak.

I loathe campers!!

Re: Things i learned from playing MW2

i learned that an EMP will kill all Russian soldiers for no apparant reason....

I also learned that Capt. Mctavish is apparantly psychic, after 5 years locked away in a secret russian prison he instantly knows about the invasion and what to do about it...

Also learned that the British army wouldnt help America out in a war against russia.

More to follow no doubt...

I've learnt that an EMP pulse will only effect half of the electronics in the local area, never your own teams.

Re: Things i learned from playing MW2

Similarly I've learnt a nuke blast gives out quite a bright white light, and all the surrounding infrastructure stays still whilst everyone gently falls over where they stand.

They have even perfected the science of cloning soldiers (and enjoy dressing them up in the same clothes).

Re: Things i learned from playing MW2

I've learned that the best way to survive in a war is to constantly jump in the air, then quickly lie down, then get up and jump again, and then lie down again.

Just repeat, for eternity.

I noticed that along with the lack of Ruskies. No sight on your gun after the blast but then later on, radio chatter...?

I keep doing this, it's wonderful.

I got one bloke who was stood by a window and didn't move an inch and so he trapped his team mate who was crouched by him and they both died.

Re: Things i learned from playing MW2

I've learned how to kill members of the public in an airport

I've also learned how to smash a window, regardless of size with one swing of a knife

Also that if you shoot a water barrel several times, instead of leaking water the top will pop off I might apply this to jam jars where I can't open the lids

I learned that if you want to snap a dogs neck, you can only do it a split second before it bites you. You can't get in first, nor can you fight it off once it's had a little nibble.

Sticking someone and getting it in the last killcam is very very satisfying
