The following types of players define unique styles of play from people playing Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Live. We have gathered an elaborate list of player types so that we can share our findings with the MW2 community. Many of these player types you will recognize right away. Some of them may be familiar, and other playing styles may be universally hated. Either way, we thought that it would be fun to break it down. So here’s our list:
Camping in Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Live is almost like breathing: everyone does it. How many times have you been playing Team Deathmatch or Search and Destroy and have been killed by an obvious camper. Whether the dude is hitting the Y button non-stop in a bushy corner next to the bomb just waiting for you, or he’s got a Barrett with the thermal scope going on from across the map…it’s annoying as hell!
Maybe you enjoy this style of play, who can blame you? You’re K/D is probably 4+ from all of your “work”, but in the end, we can’t stay mad. Campers have to have at least some skill, right?
This is the player that has their sensitivity set to “insane”, they’ve most likely got some UMP action going on, and most likely either Marathon, Lightweight, or a combination of both set as their perks. More than likely, this style of play classifies about 40-45% of all players online.
They throw flashbangs, followed by frags, followed with a dropshotting “spray and pray” assault that just can’t be stopped. These are the kids you’ve got to watch out for at the beginning of a round in S&D.
At the same time, these kids complain just about every time they die in a match. “OMG, shotgun noob!”, or “You’re garbage”, or my personal favorite, “You’re a ‘RANDOM’, kid.” Every little thing begins a full scale war with them. This is especially true in search and destroy. Go ahead and plant that claymore at the beginning of the round, I guarantee you the kid that gets blown to pieces by it 20 seconds later is toting a UMP with stopping power(like he needs it, right?) 9 times out of 10.
If this describes you online in MW2, that’s cool. Just chill with the UMP, please.
Everybody hates this kid. Two seconds into the round and the swearing begins because you just got blown to hell by a round opening noob tube. This is not really a big deal in respawn game modes like Ground War or Domination, but honestly, in Search and Destroy, it sucks.
These types of players take pride in their work. More than likely, they practice launching strategic noob tubes in a private match with friends before “taking it to the streets”, so to speak.
RPG’s, Stinger Missile, and Javelin users are all in the same boat. They just wanna blow s#it up! Especially your newly aquired Chopper Gunner, or AC 130. There’s no worse feeling in this game than losing your hard-earned AC130 to a Javelin d-bag.
This guy’s got it going on. M10, check, Ranger, check, Striker, check. Oh and let’s not forget about the AA-12. Spray and pray has just been taken to a new level.
These types like to rock marathon and lightweight, beat you to your opening round spot, and blast you out of the game. No joke, Infinity Ward definitely put a heavy emphasis on shotgun power in this game and it shows.
I could never understand why anyone would want to put a red dot sight on any shotgun in Modern Warfare 2? Seriously, you need it? It’s not like you’re going to snipe somebody across the map with a striker headshot, ok? Either way, the real shotty pros in this game resort to either putting the grip on their weapon of choice, or FMJ. Every other perk for the shotguns in MW2 is useless.
These are the types of guys that just don’t care. They want the XP and a cool-looking killcam.
They’re usually like the guys right above them on this list but they just had to take their online gameplay one step further, dual wielding shotguns. Typically, from my experiences, most of these types of gamers are using Rangers. It’s either that or G18’s. Personally, I love the Akimbo M9 pistols. That’s about it for the akimbo guys though.
Now we’ve come to our last category: the snipers. The hottest trend on MW2 online right now is quick scoping. The weapon of choice for these guys is the Intervention. I’ve seen some with the Barrett, but the bolt-action style of the Intervention just looks cooler.
For those of you that don’t know what a quick scope is, well, its when you barely zoom in your sniper scope and you shoot right away and let go of the left trigger. This gives a really cool effect and it takes some skill to do online.
One thing that I’ve noticed on Xbox Live is that nobody hard-scopes anymore. Everybody wants to be cool and zoom in fast and shoot. Oh well, that’s online gameplay for ya’. Who else can’t wait for Black Ops to come out?
