COD:Modern Battlefield 2

[CountDeMoney]

BTW, is there any good online guide for playing multiplayer FPS games like this?  Sometimes I feel like I'm getting slaughtered out there, and I'm sure that there are some basics that I'm missing.

God knows how many hacks there are out there, so don't feel bad.
I routinely finish in the bottom half.  But it's still fun.

Grenades, grenades, grenades.
My best friend is the M79 Grenade Launcher.  Or as someone called me with it, "the noob tube".

I forgot about grenade spamming people. 

Toss every grenade you have as quickly as possible DG. Especially in games that give you a bunch.

Extra pro tip: Pop smoke on your own sniper positions.

Meh, COD only gives you a small amount.

I use a claymore and the Scavenger bonus, so I litter the fucking map with them and hide.  Drives the zergers crazy.

Back in the day when I played Novalogic's Blackhawk Down, the game gave you 6 claymores. So on the urban map, I'd place them on the ends of buildings in an alley entrance. A guy runs past, he gets a faceful of metal.

And place them in the helicopters. Dude runs in to use the chaingun, BAM!

I put them at the top of the stairs, as opposed to the bottom.  That way, it's the last thing they see. LULZ

I love grenades.  I once finished a deathmatch by perfectly timing a greande to explode just as it rolled to a stop between the crouching guy's legs.  That was one cool end of match video.  Unfortunately, at least at my level, I only get one frag.

Earn the Martyrdom deathstreak.  When it kicks in, you'll drop a grenade when you die.  Then watch the fun.

Remember, to the online game fags, grenades make you a n00b and have no place in warfare. So track the guy that complains down and kill him repeatedly.

Let Unca Seedy and Unca Ed teach you the way.

Sniping is one thing that I just can't get a hang of at all.  Whenever I arm myself with a sniper rifle, it seems to function like a huge bulls-eye.  Most of the time I get picked off before I get anyone in sights.

You have to start earning the shit like Cold-Blooded and Ninja, so you don't show up on UAV or heartbeat sensors.

[Alcibiades]

Yeah, I use a thermal sight on my 50 cal., throws me off when the enemies have cold blooded.

[DGuller]

I love the heartbeat detector.  It costs you a sight on your rifle, but that's no biggie, sight doesn't help you when you don't know where to look.  It's especially a monster in tight confines, where you can't be easily sniped from afar.

[DGuller]

Damn, I was really on fire tonight.  I ran up a streak of 15 kills, and only died because I was out of ammo, and had to engage a guy with a riot shield in a melee fight.  I think I'm starting to get a hang of it.

I managed to pull off some pretty good runs as sniper in COD4. Coolest one had to be when I defended our base in sabotage by  killing 4 guys who assaulted it together, before they could plant the bomb. You just have to learn at which spots you are covered well.
