(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I though I'd have a crack at writing a multiplayer guide for MW2. However I've run into a bit of a problem. WTF is the point of the TAR assault rifle? I'm finding it really hard to find anything good about this gun, its well and turely baffled me. All the stat are average at best and its not all that good when you use it either. It's really difficult to right when you can't find any good points. Anyone want to give me some advice on what to write for it?

BTW anyone who has anything they would like to contribute to the guide, feel free.

Yeah feel free. I can use them to help write mine. I can use all the help i can get at the min, because this is going to take me forever. I'm hoping I can get it out by Christmas when there will be an influx of new players.

Killstreaks

UAV - 3 kills


Pros
Can Show enemy units on the map

Cons
Refresh time on the UAV is slow enough so that it only gives you a rough idea as to enemies location. will not detect enemies with coldblooded

My Tips
Use a heartbeat sensor in conjunction with UAV, the heartbeat sensor refreshes faster than the UAV so you have a constant refresh of enemy locations (unless they have coldblooded and ninja)


Care Package - 4 Kills

Pros
Able to get another killstreak from the Care package

Cons
Enemies will rush the area of the drop to stop you getting it and try to get it themselves

My Tips
The care package runner is by far the most useful, however, using the care package itself as a trap for the enemy is also well known and also useful, however, to make the most of this u need to think strategically on location


Counter-UAV - 4 Kills

Pros
scrambles the enemies radar

Cons
by far the most useless KS IMO

My Tips

To make the most of this killstreaks, use ninja pro, that way the enemy cant here you if they are camping out while counter UAV is active


Sentry Gun - 5 kills

Pro
great for defending a position, forcing an enemy into going a certain way, suppressing fire

Cons
Bad placement will make the sentry gun useless

My Tips
Placing the sentry gun against a corner of a wall is a must, also in well known camping areas will get u as many kills as a attack chopper


Predator Missile - 5 kills

Pros
a quick easy to get killstreak that can earn a few kills if yur lucky and use it right

Cons
useless against enemies in buildings or those with cold blooded

My tips
not much to say here except go for a single opponent out in the open if loads of enemies are under cover, its better to get 1 kill than it is to get none, go for the sure fire kills over multiple's every time


Precision Airstrike - 6 kills

Pro
can get alot of kills if u do it right, can chose trajectory yourself

Con
rushing it could mean the difference between getting kills and just making pretty fireworks display

My tips
UAV, having someone in your team use a UAV before u use This means maximum Chance to get alot of kills, Secondly, knowing the layout of the maps is Key, ive gotten 4+ kills just by getting a direct hit through windows


Harrier Strike - 7 Kills

Pro
An Airstrike followed by a hovering Harrier, harrier can destroy Choppers

Cons
Slow moving makes it an easy taget, Use javelin to by-pass Angel Flares

My Tips

Use the harrier Strike near the outside of the map (if u dont know where the enemy) as the harrier will slowly move to the center of the map automatically


Attack Helicopter - 7 kills


Pro
fast moving attack copper

cons
Javelin makes quick work of the attack chopper

My tips
not much to say here, except use it asap, as it can easily get destroyed, so dont waste time using it near the end of a match, better to get it out the way early and make way for better killstreaks


Emergency Airdrop - 8 kills


Pro
4 care packages, great for luring the enemy to them for easy kills

Con
Easy to lose packages on top of buildings in crowded area's or out of boundaries, half the time u get duplicate KS, usually useless 1's

My Tips
Use somewhere in the open where u can get a sniper covering the area, or get someone to airstrike the Airdrop LZ


Pave Low - 9 kills

Pro
Armored attack helicopter, takes more damage than a normal chopper

Con
Slow moving, easily destroyed with Javelin

My tips
Pave low is great for holding down enemies in a certain area, as pave low is so slow it concentrates its fire in 1 area longer, great for modes like domination


Stealth Bomber - 9 kills

Pro
Better version of precision airstrike, can blanket 1 side of the map to the other (in 90% of the maps), u dont know where its coming from, the shockwave from the bombs hitting ground shake the screen

Con
can easily get into cover as you can hear the rumble of the bombers coming a good 4-5 seconds before they hit

My tips
if u dont know where the enemy is, always hit diagonally across the map, more chance (in my experience) to hit enemies


Chopper Gunner - 11 kills

Pro
Controllable (the gun not the actual chopper) Chopper, can easily get alot of kills if you know what you are doing, u can tell ur team where the enemy is on team games as its a perfect scout tool, no reload time on the gun

Con
Enemies always try to shoot down a chopper gunner asap, chopper flys way to low most maps and is easy to shoot down because of this, chopper flys in low in areas where there is no enemies half the time

My Tips
There is a targeting reticule that will let you know if u can hit an enemy clearly, inside the red enemy square icon the player has a white cross if u can get a clear shot, always go for these targets, as u will always kills, plus, if u cant hit the enemy, the enemy cant hit you either


AC-130 - 11 kills

Pros
More powerful guns that can wipe out an entire team with well placed shots, 3 different types of guns, scroll through while other guns are reloading, cn only be shot down with a stinger, has angel flares to stop first stinger

Cons
Slow reload time, not as accurate as chopper gunner especially in crowed areas

My Tips
Lead the target, as your so high up u have to anticipate where the enemy is going, otherwise you could miss the target


EMP - 15 Kills

Pro
Disrupts anything electrical, Radar, air traffic, makes enemies unable to call care packages

Con
Doesnt last that long, other than that there nothing bad about it (other than not being able to be a care package runner)

My Tips
Use when there's loads of airtraffic, most importantly try to use against big KS's like Ac-130, pave low and copper gunner


Tactical Nuke - 25 kills

Pro
automatically ends the game

Con
The bitching from the enemy team when you use it

My Tips
Laugh and taunt the enemy team in the lobby after you use use it

Thanks for that, will be sure to give you a mention in the guide.

This is a shameless double post because I need to get it back up the boards so someone will read it. Any chance someone can proof read what I have so far, as I don't have the time.

Anything you want to write feel free too. I doubt I am going to be able to churn this out by christmas. I'm going to be pretty busy over the next few weeks with family parties shopping and work. So if you feel like writing up ruff notes on anything ill put it all together and add what I can.
