MW2 First Night Ever Online

kwalshe

Hi all, just joined XBOX Live and was about to start playing multi-player on MW2. The problem is I have never played a game like this online. Played Forza 3 but got whipped big style.
I'm really into playing MW2 online , my last experience of multliplayer was the original Duke Nukem over a Novell Network about 15 yrs ago.

Anybody any tips on where to start or how to go about playing without cheesing people off by not knowing etiquette etc.
I thought there may be a sticky about this and was suprised there was'nt.
Also what's a clan?

Not The Real Scarecrow

Don't worry about etiquette or anything man, just enjoy the game as best you can and ignore the idiots that take it too seriously. Half the fun is in learning all the stuff about how to be a better player yourself. Trust me after a day or so you'll know the maps backwards and all the tricks and hiding spots people use.
A clan is basically just a group of people that form a group or team for deathmatch and all those kinds of team games.
If you want add me as a friend and send me an olde invite if your online for a few games, I don't play too serious and if I don't have the mic on , its nothing personal, it just means the wife is in the room and I'm trying not to look like as much of an idiot as i normally am.

Don't worry about cheesing people off as Meatwad said, there's always going to be someone who gets cheesed off over stupid sh!t. A clan is a group of people who play together online competitively, but mostly it's a group of mates who play together. If you wanna get some good team games going with a bit of a laugh, add me on Live, my tag is Damage Dam

I think for etiquette-y things, read this list as a what NOT to do.
And as for tips, this list was made for the PC version, but still some useful stuff on it for every version.
Just thought of something else: Single player Spec Ops is great for honing your skills. If you can clear a mission like "o cristo redentor" by yourself, on veteran, you'll find yourself doing very well online.

the only thing you need to know is not to camp.

There's no rule against it, but it is frowned apon by some people.


OP just stay with it. You might get killed alot and get very few kills at first but once you get used to the gameplay and start to know the maps, you will generally become better and find getting kills easier.

Pick a gun and stick with it so you get the add ons as soon as possible. Stuff like the heartbeat tracker makes things a lot lot easier.

The best advice that I can give you is the following:

• Find a weapon that you are good with to start, I reccomend either of the starting rifles or the RPD
• Get to know the maps and the spots where people camp/routes they run.
• Ignore all Americans (well most of them) they are talking sh1te half the time and complaining the rest.
• Play with mates if you can because its usually better craic
• Have a go at the challenges they are fun to try and give you loads of xp.
  
• Most important of all just have fun, and try not to get too pissed off when you have a bad game.

Hope this helps, my gamertag is Emmetb if your on a 360 add me if you want I am normally playin MW2 in the evenings

i was the same playing mw1, only got it a while ago and was terrible at it for a long time, in the first week i was lucky to get 3-4 kills. but you just get better, just started playing mw2 and im averaging 12-15 kills every game now, its just practice and most of all just have a laugh, some games i get slaughtered but at the end of the day its just a bit of fun
