• • Easy Cold-Blooded Pro perk  

    Create the following class:

      
     
    Primary Weapon: Any light machine gun (except AUG HBAR) with extended magazine attachment (optional) 
    Secondary Weapon: A launcher (not the Thumper or RPG7x2) that can heavily damage a Pavelow 
    Equipment: Tactical insertion 
    Special Grenade: Any 
    Perk 1: Scavenger 
    Perk 2: Cold-Blooded  
    Perk 3: Any 
    Death Streak: Any 
      

    After creating this class, host a private match or a split-screen match with a friend. Make sure your friend has a class with Hardline, and the Pavelow as one of their Killstreak rewards. Have your friend kill you enough times until they get their Pavelow. When their Pavelow is out, use your rocket launcher to hit it. If it is not destroyed the first time, use your Scavenger perk to get more rockets. Immediately after the Pavelow starts to spin out of control, use your light machine gun to rapidly shoot at it. Each bullet that hits the spinning Pavelow will count towards the Cold-Blooded Pro perk. By doing this method, you can easily get the Cold-Blooded Pro perk within a five minute match.
• • Easy Last Stand Pro perk  

    Create the following classes:

      

    Class 1

      
     
    Primary Weapon: Any 
    Secondary Weapon: None 
    Equipment: Tactical Insertion 
    Special Grenade: Any 
    Perk 1: One Man Army 
    Perk 2: Hardline Pro 
    Perk 3: Any 
    Death Streak: Final Stand 
      

    Class 2

      
     
    Perk 3: Last Stand 
    Note: Make this class built to quickly kill your enemy. 
      

    After creating these classes, host a private match or a split-screen match with a friend that is willing to be killed multiple times. If you cannot find someone willing to do this, then use an empty player (a controlled player with no one actually controlling it). Start with Class 1. Have your friend shoot you until you are in Final Stand mode, then activate One Man Army, and switch to Class 2. After you get up, start shooting your friend. Every kill you get will count as a Last Stand kill. Every kill will also count towards One Man Army.

• I personally would recommend you do NOT use the WA2000 nor the M21 EBR. They cause a lot of hit reg, and they have issues getting hit reg with quick scopes consistently. I use the Intervention with a Thermal scope for closer range maps, or maps with poor lighting (Under pass mainly) or maps with a lot of grass for counter / other snipers to sniper from (Wasteland). I use the .50 however for long range maps with FMJ attachment.

• Primary Weapon : Sniper of your choice with either Thermal, ACOG, or FMJ (I recommend thermal for beginners)
   Secondary Weapon : I use the M93 Raffica with Silencer (so I can be stealthy when I need), it allows me to be silent, but have good fire power and range! I love this secondary!

   

  Semtex or Frag (your pick, doesn’t matter being this is a cQc guide for sniping not ‘nading). NOTE : When you get better, or from the start – I’d recommend switching to Throwing knife (explanation below)
   Stun x2 (so you can slow down fast movers which makes it easier to quick scope, and it also allows a wider hit reg area around its impact… Thus allowing you to have more of an idea where your target is.

   

  Perk 1 : Sleight Of Hand Pro – Please make sure you have pro, will explain below
   Perk 2 : Stopping Power – Does not have to be Pro, but is required !
   Perk 3 : Steady Aim – This can be swapped out but for starters / new comers to quick scoping – I highly recommend using Steady Aim. Pro is not required.

• • FAVELA: Tips and Tricks
• The Commando perk or a Tactical Knife can be very useful on this map, as players will frequently be running head-on into enemies. Commando Pro's fall damage resistance can be useful too; on the roofs, sometimes the best way to get out of an enemy's sights (or to get the drop on him) is to drop off a building. Also, falling too far from buildings will cause severe injury or death unless using the Commando Pro perk.
• The ditch on the upper level (The flag spawn for Task Force 141) is often overlooked, as most action takes place down at the lower level. This area can be a useful defensive feature for objective-based games or for ambushes. Hiding in the ditch, and waiting till the signal that an enemy is taking the flag, can be a very effective ambush.
• Light automatic weapons are recommended for this map. Because of the prevalence of close quarters combat, assault rifles and submachine guns are preferable. Shotguns, especially the AA-12 for its automatic fire, are also highly effective at sweeping alleyways and clearing rooms. A class with Marathon and/or Lightweight can be very effective in getting around the map quickly, and for surprising enemies.
• A good tip for snipers is to not always seek the high ground, but to look for wide open areas where a runner is an easy target, and make sure that the location you are sniping from is either hard to get to or has only one entrance to prevent embarassing knife deaths. A neat little spot is on the roof next to the building with the stone cover, as the roof is a hard spot to target without you noticing. The only problem with this spot is getting killed from behind, but that is not much of a problem because the TF141 spawn point is on the other side, giving the sniper an advantage when they run outside.
• This map features many effective places to place claymores, especially in tight alleyways and corners found in the center of the map. Claymores can be a very effective way to defend flags B and C, and to a lesser extent A, in Domination gametypes.
• At the beginning of Team Deathmatch, or another game mode which has the same spawns, you can use a tactic to get first blood. When you spawn as Militia, take a M203/GP25 or another launcher, like the AT4 or Thumper. Go inside the building right, upstairs, and stand by the window. Aim your grenade at the cars at the end of the road. If an enemy walks by, shoot a grenade. You could miss your target, but the cars you've hit will still explode. Killing the enemy (and maybe one or two others), and giving you a first blood.
• If you are on the roof of the garden house you can run and jump into the window. Then rush the barber shop if two team mates take it.
• A good class is one with a Knifing Class, expecially the default Overwatch class. However, this tactic is frowned upon by more experienced and skilled players, due to the speed of which you can run, and the speed/range of knifing.

• • ESTATE Tips and Tricks
• The best place to take control of the main house area is in the basement, if someone were above you throw a stun grenade and shoot him. This is also a good spot because every player passes by the cars to go in the house.
• If the player is looking to maintain control of the house, a good place for tactical insertion is inside the bathroom (the en suite in the bedroom as opposed to the one on the landing) as well as placing it on the bench in the basement, under the staircase.
• Another good area to camp is by the wall to the left of the 1st to 2nd floor staircase, in the suite. It is recommended to have a close range/long range combo of weaponry such as a [[Intervention[[ with a Thermal Scope and a Spas-12, as this will allow a player to operate from both the windows and the interior.
• On the top floor, jump toward the couch and jump/climb to the roof beam above, this is a good camping spot.
• Much like in Afghan, at the beginning for Spetsnaz, a good but heavily frowned upon technique is with a grenade launcher run to start firing grenades down towards the Task
• A thermal scope is a good idea because it's very easy for enemies to blend into their surroundings. A good idea would be to use a class with a Cold-Blooded perk.
• A great spot to call in a care package is behind the greenhouse, the player should not do this if his/her team does not have control over the main house.
• Another good spot to call in a care package is on the edge of the map where the electrical lines and the tower are. This is obvious, but it works. Be cautious, as it may get stuck up above if you don't throw the signal grenade at the right position.
• This can be a good map for Commando Pro, as there are many large drops that can be utilized to escape a pursuer or to reach an objective quickly. For example, the cliffs by the estate.
• There is a good camping spot beside the house where two walls meet, staying here the player is impossible to spot from behind and from the sides, with a good view of the sunroom of the house, and the greenhouse.
• • In the main room on the house, it is possible to jump from the indoor balcony onto the horizontal beams on the walls near the side windows, this can be an excellent camping spot. 
• • Another good camping spot to snipe from is on top of the boathouse. The player can climb on the chair round the rear of the building to reach the barrels. From the top most barrel, jump onto the wooden pole opposite and then onto the roof. 
• There are several patches of grass along the side of the house, giving a large vantage point of the map, and a nice bit of camouflage.
• • The deck on the top is a common sniping spot, placing a sentry gun there just about controls the front of the house. 
• When sniping in this map, stay in an elevated position. When sniping out of windows, stay back from them so one's body isn't as easily visible and can't be killed from the side of the window. Always look for potential counter sniping spots where an enemy sniper could get a clean shot at the player. When moving in this map be quick and stealthy, while running through open areas zig-zag because odds are an enemy sniper has their crosshairs trained to the player's head.
• • In the small bathroom there is a very good camping spot. The player must jump on the sink and walk towards the wall away from the door. The player will then randomly go up a little bit, not much, but is good because by placing a claymore in the middle of the doorway, having a good Assault Rifle (or LMG), and then a shotgun (preferably a Striker or Model 1887 w/ Akimbo), it can make a very good camping spot. As in large games people will run by the three areas that the player has control over, and can be good for getting the "None Spared" accolade. A good counter would be to throw grenades in, as its hard to run out of the room fast, and if they throw a frag grenade back out, then the opposing players know that they're inside. A humorous way to counteract multiple enemies that rush in for a shotgun or knife kill would be to grab a shotgun (Model 1887 Akimbo is best), run into the room on the other side of the hall, and then kill the players attempting to rush the player. This is harder on an online match, but is good for getting multi-kills and the "Cruelty" Challenge. 
• • The player can get on top of every roof in Estate except for the main house and the garage across from the house with the red SUV sticking out of it. 
• • The player can climb the railing on the left side of the main house and jump onto the upper balcony, making 3 ways to get upstairs. 
• • A good place to drop a Care Package is at the back underneath the dock. 
• • A Sentry Gun placed on the upper floor can control the boathouse and anyone is slaughtered trying to advance from the front. This allows more players to defend the back, where flankers will attempt to root the player out. 
• • The Power Station area is one of the best places in all of Estate to call in Emergency Airdrops, Sentry Guns or a Care Package. Most of the action happens at the mansion and the boathouse. 
• • It is possible to get on top of the power station in the northern part of the map, by climbing the ladder to the top of the building next to it, walking along the fence, and jumping to the station. This is a good place to snipe from, as most players are not aware of how to get up there. 
• • A sniper with a woodland ghillie suit can pick one of two great sniping/ambush spots. The first of these spots is to lie prone in the grass on the left side of the boat house, this provides a shot on anyone in that part of the map. Another great spot is hidden in a bush directly across from the main doorway into the house. A silencer is recomended for both of these spots, and playing on Hardcore will make it near impossible to be found. 
• • To counter those who fire from the windows or openings from the house, use FMJ on a weapon. This can be very useful mainly because most players like to fire from the windows and the player is able to obtain some kills for Extended Magazines.

  This class is THE rusher class. It will work flawlessly every time. It works best when you do not aim down the sight. The stuns are great for slowing down the other players. Also, this class also works well with Ninja Pro and Commando Pro, given you have a handgun w/ tactical knife. Cold Blooded is also a good perk with this class along with ninja for the sneakier players.

• Adjacent to the escalators, there is a ladder that can be climbed and obtain a great overview of flag C, flag B, and the hall in the terminal near the cafe with the shatterable glass windows. A player standing here can rack-up huge killstreaks which can be devastating or, more than likely, not. This area provides little cover and can be attacked from several angles.
• Outside, behind the plane, is one of the better places, away from most of the action, to call in an airdrop.
• The glass windowed hallway can be an easy area to hold with the correct means of doing so. Using a light machine gun is considerably effective with a large ammo count and rapid fire. The player can easily take down almost anyone who stumbles out of cover, as well as hold back enemy players. Note: Be aware of enemies trying to flank on either side.
• The front side of the security office is a prime spot for snipers as they are totally hidden while crouching and have a clear shot down the tunnel leading to the plane. Also players going down the tunnel have no cover, except for right in front of the stairway door.

• This makes it difficult to use in the hands of an unskilled player at long ranges without short, controlled bursts of fire, especially with the use of an ACOG Scope. This is partially alleviated with a Silencer, as lack of muzzle flash increases visibility and effective accuracy.
• However, the iron sights are generally favourable, and as a result many will opt for a M203 or Silencer instead.
• Although the TAR-21's recoil makes it somewhat difficult to use at longer ranges (though this can be mostly negated with controlled bursts), its high damage per second makes it extremely effective at close and medium range, and silencers will help to remove muzzle flash that may obsucre the target at long range. The TAR-21 is one of the only assault rifles that will be competitive with SMGs at close range. Due to these traits, this gun can be a very effective stealth/ambush weapon if used with a Silencer and Heartbeat Sensor.

• In domination, there are three ways to gain XP: 

   
  • Kill: 5 XP (10 EXP if the killer or the victim was capturing or defending a flag). 
  • Assist: 1 XP (Call of Duty 4) or 1-4 XP, depending on the amount of damage dealt (World at War) 
  • Capture a flag: 15 XP 

• 1 point awarded to the team for each flag it controls every 5 seconds. 

  Individual XP 

  In domination, there are three ways to gain XP: 

   
  • Kill: 50 XP 
  • Assist: 10 XP 
  • Capture a flag: 150 XP 
  • Kill an attacker (Defender +50 XP bonus) 
  • Kill a defender (Attacker +50 XP bonus) 
• the player gets 150 points for capturing a flag. The player also receive the points if you help to capture a flag. Other than that, it is basically the same. Killing an enemy while either the killer or the killed are near a flag will give a 50 XP bonus: either "Offense" (Kill a flag defender) or "Defense" (Kill a flag taker). Unlike other game modes, there are no challenges linked to winning this game mode in Modern Warfare 2.
• Only control what is Needed: If your team is behind you, you can try to capture all of the flags. If your team is near the enemy's score it would be best to have 2 flags captured instead of 3. If all flags are captured, the enemy team will start spawning anywhere on the map. This will make it harder for you to find them, while capturing 2 flags will let you know where the enemy is going to spawn. This might cause some players on the opposing team to quit as they are effectively trapped. It is easier to get a high kill streak by having 2 flags captured. This is especially easy to do on maps like Highrise where the enemy team will get spawn trapped (because they only spawn at their flag). The only way the enemy team will be able to capture other flags is if they can break through the spawn trap, or if your team captures all of the flags.
• • Planting C4 on a captured flag then blowing it up when an enemy tries to overtake it is a good strategy. 
• • A good kit for setting up a trap involves using a smoke grenade, a Claymore and a fast mobility weapon. Arrive at the flag and plant the smoke, then plant the claymore and run off and wait nearby. Enemies most likely won't be able to resist an easy target, which will most likely result in them triggering the Claymore. Beware that you can only carry one smoke grenade unless using Scavenger and the opponents will most likely realize the strategy after falling victim to it several times. 
• Never try to capture the other teams main base flag unless you have a group of men with you. Capturing the other territory could lead into a trap or getting ambushed. It could also move your spawn point to the base that you captured and they would capture your original base. In other words, it is pointless to do this.
• • It is advisable to have a class with SitRep when taking enemy flags due to claymores or C4 being planted on or around the flag. 
  • Having Semtex and Cold-Blooded (hopefully Pro), holding the Semtex without throwing it, and capturing a point is an effective way to score as when you hold most equipment, you look like a corpse. (This is especially useful at the "middle" points, primarily B, as there will be lots of fighting and lots of corpses.)

• TIPS: DONT: use mounted weapon shotguns! They've gotten me into messes many many times!

  Keep rushing the same place over and over again after countless deaths (in deathmatch and Search).

  Go in close quarters/corners with a grenade launcher

  GO for the flag when you have NO cover (unless you have marathon/lightweight on ^ ^)

  Akimbo weapons in huge maps.

  DO: Use grenade launchers often, they get VERY easy kills.

  Think of alt. ways to kill the enemy instead of trying the same way over and over after dying.

  Calll in pred missles while prone and camo'd out.

  Place claymores on the edgecorner of doors/walls.

  Place tac. insertions indoors or on rooftops. Unobvious places

  LEVELING- Either play FFA for challenges (trust me you level fast) Or if you wanna go hardcore and go for just points in skill play S & D with my class.

• As far as perks, not much is different. Sleight of Hand is still very handy (ha ha), Stopping Power will minimize the number of grazing shots, and Commando is hugely useful when someone invades your sniping roost and needs a good knifing. If, however, you like to be invisible, you can always go with perks like Cold-Blooded, Ninja, or Scrambler. Once you’ve leveled sufficiently, you may try One Man Army for the ability to switch classes mid-battle. You can even chain together multiple classes with the One Man Army perk, switching from sniper to close-range to heavy assault freely (though it does take a while to make the change).
