With Modern Warfare 2 being the biggest title of this holiday season (and probably the year), many gamers may pick this up and are interested in getting into the multiplayer, but are overwhelmed by all of the things that Modern Warfare 2 expects the player to understand. That’s where this article comes in. I’m writing this article from a viewpoint of you as a reader having never played any of the recent Call of Duty games online (but of course, I’m hoping you’ll have understood general first person shooter mechanics). In this article, I’ll explain what perks are, kill-streak rewards, leveling up, general strategies and tips for improving your game, etc. I will focus the article towards Team Deathmatch, since it is the most popular mode for Call of Duty multiplayer games and the easiest one to learn. Once you digest this information, the skills you learn for Team Deathmatch will be more than enough if you decide to move towards more the objective-based multiplayer modes in the future.
