I always love how Jack takes a far more level-headed approach to shooters than most other content creators. Great info in this video! Glad there's more to come
I really like this type of content and the discussions that it brings. There is a shift in the play style of "classic COD" games and the current MW series. Slowing down is key to many of these game modes. Most of my kills are on people doing sporadic movements and not being prepared for a gunfight with such a short TTK.
I know! It's so horrible! Has nothing to do with CoD anymore! Everyone's just waiting and listening instead of using the the mini map and spawn knowledge
Bro opposite for me, I try to play slow and get killed by people who tac sprint jump around the corner and I die before they even hit the ground…. TF IS THAT. In any tactical game like Insurgency you can’t even jump like that 😭😭😭
Logical advice. People seem to undervalue the mod stats like movement speed, aim walking speed, and hip walking speed. These can increase your mobility without making you vulnerable since rather than sprint everywhere, you can move room to room ADSing or gun at the hip more quickly. Especially since the mods that typically increase this, counter balance the offsets of the ones that reduce recoil since those typically make you slower. So you don't necessarily have to run a gun naked, you just need to be smart when it comes to mods to fit your particular playstyle.
@@FervorGaming hasn’t been the case for me, I mod my weapons 5/5 and just mod them according to what I feel is the most necessary and it always works out
I agree. I would also suggest not sleeping on hipfire for short ranges with the adequate weapon build. I have been experimenting with an FTAC Recon build that is surprisingly good at that for short ranges in full auto, then competent at mid range with single fire.
I've been wondering why I'm having a harder time getting into the multiplayer this time around, but this breakdown has nailed it. Solid stuff, as always. Thanks Jack!

Hey Jack, I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time. I have missed this format so much. You’re a great teacher. I hope you make more like this again :)
I feel like the move to slower gameplay is gonna make the game friendlier to casual players but the SBMM implementation needs more transparency because players who have a few good games get rolled into a league thats entirely above their head and it can make the experience quite miserable until they move down a skill bracket, and the time it takes to get bumped down isn't nearly as quick as the time it takes to get bumped up.

Thanks for the tips Jack! I will definitely try these out tonight. I definitely have a problem with sprinting everywhere just to get to the action sooner, and I find myself dying before I get there & having to start again. I'm gonna try a more tactical approach ☺️
I adapted to this playstyle almost immediately. Its much more oriented toward tactical gameplay that any other COD imo. Im really enjoying it so far. I have however seen plenty of sweats still destroying lobbies while b hopping and running around so its not impossible.
oh yeah i noticed this cod was different and i’m a very argessive cod player so my new strategy is +everything aim down sight speed and sprint to fire. what i do is never let go of sprint and jump+ pre aim every corner i turn, i absolutely destroy every kid “taking their time” around each corner. so it’s definitely still possible to be agressive
Thank you for making this! I see too many videos of people desperately trying to find a glitch or work around for movement as opposed to accepting and adapting the new mechanics.

Me too. It’s really getting down to the better shooter in the gunfight usually wins the fight. Usually. They’re going to make changes I’m sure. But I’ve been enjoying the game when I play it. My movement wasn’t anything special anyways, so I’m going really good in this version.
@@nzarch9741 I don’t think taking out some of the goofy mechanics is lowering the skill gap. Honestly, the people who are complaining that they can’t get as many kills anymore because those mechanics are missing probably should realize that they just aren’t that good at FPS games
@@hollywoodq2k380 Not goofy mechanics, it's not hard to slide cancel. There's plenty of slower shooters to play though, Cod has been and should be fast-paced and action packed, not ratty and slow. At least Rainbow Six being slow their maps are small - majority of the maps in MW2 are too large for 6v6 and then you feel like the game is going incredibly slow unless you're some bot camping in a corner. Anyways riot shield + knife + deady = the most fun way to play and troll people.
I've found myself adapting to this game pretty quickly. Slowing down and aiming before turning a corner, crouching a lot more, not running round as much (definitely not camping though) and I'm near the top or on top of the leaderboard more than at the bottom. I wasn't sure if I was gonna get the game but I'm very glad I did!
Who cares if you 'camp'? It's viable and effective, and if the enemy was smart they would use grenades and slap on a perk that restocks throwables. It's literally no worse than the CQC hard scope sniping or drop shotting meth addict sweat plays. I do it plenty when the other team is sweating like a fat kid in a saran wrap body suit.
I find myself while trying to learn maps and get used to a new game I make poor decisions and most of the time it is the running. Thanks for showing that setting. Great advice and would love to hear more tips/advice.
Great videos love your logic and acceptance to the reality of the game. You don’t have a negative attitude towards the game but a more realistic approach. Accept what you can change and ignore what you can’t. Good breakdown and your spot on with your analysis 👏
I've played call of duty for a long time, never could I've imagined having to look at a video like this. This game hurts my mental health haha! Good video and nice advice
What i love about your content is that you are usually reasonable and rationally thinking person, which is very enjoyable for a person like me, because i too try to be reasonable and rational, keep it up Jack, its great.
First COD game I've played for years. Really like the way the game plays and guns feel. All aspects seem to fit my gameplay style. Only problem I have is people not playing objectives! In all game types there's alot of camping. Great video Jack, will hopefully help my gameplay.
i think my biggest problem is that i just don't enjoy taking it slow in cod. i understand that that's kind of what you have to do right now, it's just not why i enjoy cod as a game. i personally feel like if thats the gameplay i have to go for, i might as well go for a game like counter-strike. its honestly such a shame in my opinion, cause it doesn't feel as casual anymore as it used to - which was what made the franchise fun for me in the first place. good video.
Same yo. Look up the controller settings that allow you to jump around corners like all the aggressive players are doing. I’m gonna try that tomorrow. Hopefully they make the time to kill a little slower so everything is a little more blanched but I’m not holding my breath
Yea it drives me crazy just tiptoeing around, would be cool to have a perk or something that gives some better movement stats to make the playstyle more viable at an expense of missing out on a different perk at least idk, way harder to kill campers not being able to blitz a room as well.
I love how they made firearms feel realistic. The bob of your weapon when you crouch and stand back up and the way you can’t just make a mindless laser beam and sprint like a marathon runner with it. You have to have the right tool for the right job in MW2 and I am all for it
Hey. These videos are a great information giver to us casual players that may take time to upgrade weapons. So it's good to know what to do with minimal attachments. And game play styles. Love it 👍
Totally agree. I don’t have time to grind this game out so it needs to appeal to the casual gamer otherwise we will lose interest. I want to have fun & get a few shots off but being constantly hammered by hardcore pros defeats the purpose.
I've been enjoying the faster ttk. Mw2 in general so far feels really solid, yes its missing features but I think it's a really good starting place to move forward with
Fast TTK is miserable and shrinks the skill gap. Dying instantly from a random angle is so awful, and a fast TTK ends up with a terrible, campy game, because nobody wants to move around when they die in a split second.
I'm fine with running across the map, if I'm hitting my shots I'm mostly unstoppable. But it's very hard to maintain that level of awareness for a very long time so I agree with you with slowing things down.
I like this more flowing natural way of tips! It's a bit less of "this is the way to do it and it's the only and best way" vibe which I get from some youtubers. Never thought of switching to home theater on my headset. Thanks for the video!
I'm still quite on the fence about buying this game, but hearing you break down some of the mechanics and learning more about the moment to moment gameplay helped me learn more about the game in a way that a review just can't. Nice video Jack. I'd definitely love more videos like this.
You nailed it. My dad is an avid COD player and he was showing me the new game while I was visiting. He kept dying and dying and dying when normally he’s decent or dominating the leaderboard. I was watching and immediately noticed he was getting caught in sprint or other players would hear him and get shots on him first. I got to play for awhile and I played much slower and had more success getting kills. I quite like needing to slow down in COD. Constant bunny hopping and sliding is just annoying after awhile. Looking forward to DMZ!
Highly agree with your vid. Huge increase in kills and game enjoyment. Definitely turn off auto tac sprint. I found slowing my play changed COD timing for me as well, to my advantage.
I love that this game is slower! Requires more thought and change is strategy depending on the situation. I've been playing like this and more often than not I'm at the top leaderboard without being a try hard.
Let me correct your sentence. "I have been camping and holding angles and more often than not I am at the top of the leaderboard without having any skill"
@@nazer121 bro I’m tired asf of these slow campy cods. Like they are literally lying to people and confusing them by calling the game MW2. It’s nothing like that game and it’s honestly an insult. Infinity Ward hasn’t made a decent cod since Mw3. Tell me when I’m telling lies
This was great, much different way of thinking to a lot of the other creators out there. Most people have the same thing to say and I'm not saying that they don't have great points and tips to get better with fundamentals this was great to see you take a new approach as in this game specific way to play. 👍
This helped me a lot. I haven’t played a cod game since bo3 and as you know in that game sprinting and jump shorting was the name of the game. It’s been a bit of an adjustment trying to get back into cod
I'm a fast/rush aka aggressive/rapid gamer when it comes to COD games, it comes from cs 1.5 times :D Never had a problem with kills while jumping/sprinting/tactical sprinting auto, sliding in MW2019 and now in MW2. Maybe cause I'm used playing fast/rushing for 2 decades, I got no problem with it, I hate playing slow, I do it only when there's team play, else very rarely. And I know I'm not the only one, for some slow gaming works while for others fast gaming works. P.S Small hint, for lots of kills try the knife+riot shield and throwing knives (1shot) in this COD compared to MW2019, your so fast omg like on nitro :) And another hint while this guys play slow/campy, play fast/rush and build your class fast and you will reach and kill them from behind :)
my biggest problem with this game coming from an aggressive playstyle is that they basically lied in the marketing. They kept repeating how this game is meant for all play styles and we will cater to all of them but then they do everything in their power to punish aggressive playstyles and constantly nerfing things aggressive players use while not touching anything the other playstyles do
@@bigboyskills exactly. Then they ignored a lot of complaints the community was having, minimap, perks, ninja/dead silence. Hell, ghost doesn't even work like it claims it does in the game.
Loving the analytical commentary here. Reminds me of the commentary you use to do. Definitely prefer this over the biweekly throwback vids. Kitting weapons around fast aim walking speeds I think is going to be the meta. Gives that mobility while being immediately ready to fire. That's how I've been kitting my weapons, and I haven't had any issues clearing rooms of campers. Pieing corners and sticking to walls is the other. Before entering a room, sweep it from the opposite wall. Then move in, check short, then move to short corner while sweeping the rest of the room to the opposite corner. If it's a large room or the door is in the middle of the wall, that's when I use flashbangs and check the more obvious spot. Really enjoying the pace of the game so far. You have to implement some tactics to be highly effective while still having a high level of skill.
This is how I played CoD back in the day of the original modern warfare games. Haven't played a CoD game since Ghosts. But this style of gameplay served me pretty well.
I am loving the slower more tactical gameplay. It rewards players that are actually trying to play like a soldier. I'm peeking, covering every entrance/exit, diving for cover, and pre aiming whenever I'm not needing to rush an objective. This game is just top tier. Every match feels like a campaign mission.
@@odst2247 Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but you couldn't. Recent COD games at least were more fast paced and had the advanced movement mechanics like slide canceling, drop and jump shots. shots.
Jack, I recently found your channel and I have watched ever warzone video from the last few years. I haven't played a video game in about a decade but still enjoy your videos. I can't wait for some warzone 2 streams with Tomo, Stod, and Westie. Cheers
Yeah, TheXclusiveAce is fantastic for the stats behind attachments, weapons, etc. Thanks for the additional info Jack, it's been my experience that moving slower is generally better, but I still get the CoD classics of jump-shotting snipers, which reminds me that it's still CoD. I've also discovered that being aggressive and pushing objectives can turn around defeats with a clutch win. I'm not sure if that's because everyone's more campy, but focused pushing on an objective can help. There's always the sniper just one-tapping everyone from across the map though 😂
I retired from playing on my Xbox One for YEARS. The last games I played was original MW2 and BO1. I reactivated my account and playing again when I can on the new mw2. I have muscle memory to run, jump and rush all over the place like back in the day, definitely has taken some time to learn to SLOW DOWN😅
MW2 is still the best game I ever played. My only 2 complaints are that the silencer for the 9mm never worked, and that you could open the map in killcam to find your killer's position. I'm not sure everyone knew that second one until way later, but I liked staying scoped in the whole time (where appropriate, obviously) so that my target couldn't easily figure out my position and the killcam map negated that strategy.
Very interesting especially the Audio part. Home Theater was the best in WZ for me but now it doesn't seem to work. I had to change to Headphones with Boost. I'm using Hyperx Could 2. Personally I love the changes they made. CoD feels like a shooting game now and not a "sliding" game :)
more like this please i missed this, also Xclusive Ace went into depth about whether or not you should use score streaks and I agree they are better on TDM but if you could investigate further on kill confirmed and domination I would appreciate it.
It's better in all modes. The score is equivalent to the xp for kills. You get score for other things besides kills though. So it's always faster to use scorestreaks.
@@balcorn9211 scoretreaks have always been better. Killstreaks promotes camping and score streaks promote playing obj which people dont do enough already. After playing mw19, the majority of people never cared for obj. Why risk your killstreak to get a flag if you dont get reward for it. Scorestreaks were usually higher in points to get the same streaks as well.
@@Lazyfoal Yea it’s still a crutch for players who can’t get 3 kills without dying. These games have been tailored more and more for low skill players.
Thanks so much for the video. I'm sick of everyone hating just because it's not the same crackhead playstyle as MW19. Thanks for taking the game at value and assessing this situation instead of begging for it to change
Great advice! As for movement, I am still using auto tac sprint, but I bound a key (left alt in my case) to toggle walk and set my walk speed to fast. Now when I'm going into a situation where I might encounter enemies I'll toggle to walk. Gives me the edge in gun fights, but still keeps me from constantly manually sprinting in every other situation.
I agree that playing methodically and slowly is the better way to play this MWII, but it just isn't as fun. I personally prefer to play fast paced games, so while this may be the best way to play this game I will still be sprinting around like a headless chicken a lot of the time especially when pushing corners to try and brake the opponents camera.
Finally ! Thank you i am glad you are one of the few TH-camrs willing to speak truth I for one needed to see slide cancel and bunny hopping NERFED This video actually gives me hope I’ll return to warzone
Thanks for mentioning about the sprinting and the nerf on the run to aim thing because this is what is killing me everytime. I need to turn off my auto sprint and and change everything to manual
Too right. For once I've noticed these on my own. Prefer it. Those ballerina moves I can't keep up with. As a BF player, I'm used to being methodical. This game is meeting me more in the middle and Im actually having a decent time.
“As a bf player” then go play bf this cod is imo the worst it’s been in a while, cod players don’t want our games to feel slow and campy if we did, we would play battlefield aswell. But y’all are infecting our games by giving feedback saying the game is good when you just like to be able to sit still and camp the entire game
Half of my deaths are people flying through the air and pre-aiming around the corner in the air. These "headless chickens" have an extreme advantage by moving fast.
A lot of good advice, as always. When I at first played the beta, I was disappointed. Felt like movimg a mech with a broom stick up its rear end. Now I actually rank this game high. Multiplayer is nice. A lot of great 3-lane maps.
Your so right about this COD being much more tactical and methodical. I LOVE IT!! Its really evened the playing field for me personally being a tarkov player I used to dread COD matches. IMO alot of this has to do with their DMZ mode coming out. I kinda feel like alot of the game was designed around the coming DMZ mode. I'm getting on average about 15 more kills or more per match than I used to in previous COD games.
Hiya, Jack! With the 1st couple of games I played of MW2 , I noticed the gameplay was "different". I do agree with you that if I play at a slower pace I get a lot more kills. Thanks for another ROCKTASTIC video! Yes, I ( like many others ) would like to see more TIPS n TRICKS videos. YOU ROCK,JACK!😎👍
Besides the shark fin grip I’d recommend the agent grip, it’s gives much better stability and some hip fire accuracy at the cost of some aim walk speed
Overall I like this iteration. One thing that does bother me is the lack of flinch in this game, especially on sniper rifles. I can't tell you how many times I get the first shot or two on someone and they one shot me.
MW19 had the same problem. Empty half a mag into someone using a Kar98, only for them to instantly one tap you with zero flinch or reduction to their accuracy. Honestly, one of my single biggest annoyances with that game.
I started using this tactic in BFV and realized it makes the game much more fun and realistic. It allows you to analyze your surroundings more, and using cover that you wouldn't have if you are just running around. For sure decreases your deaths as well
I'm surprised you didn't cover tuning. I was absolutely hating my life trying to grind out the m4, but then I tuned it up to increase accuracy and damage... My life was forever changed. Went from barely staying positive with like 15 kills in a good game to 20+ kills and an over 2.0 kd in almost every game.
This was great for me, I've always played super fast in other cods and have found I am not enjoying mw2 because I keep dying, but this explains why I keep dying, I'm rushing to much. Cheers Jack
@@stinger7799 like what? A slightly slower reload speed and minute change to movement speed? You can compensate for the second one with all your other attachments.
@@kells.au. there really isn’t that many penalties for using the drum mag, just run no stock, 12 inch barrel, comp and a decent grip and you’ve got the perfect mp5 build
I just really wish they'd stop trying to incorporate warzone into all their new games. Cod is not Cod anymore. It's warzone with cod on the side. The engine does not feel like a co game any longer.
I'm finding more success in anticipation and methodical movement in this game. One more thing I noticed that I'm getting more kills in maps that we had in beta because I know the layout and know how to take advantage of it. Map knowledge is playing a huge role this time around. And really loving that map with underwater flanking routes. Helped me a lot with lvling up my handguns.
Yep, map knowledge is huge for sure. There were a few maps I wasn't fond of at first, but as expected I like them a lot more now that I know them better (not that I know them perfectly, it hasn't even been a week). Hydroelectric is definitely a great map, it's so much fun being able to traverse under and around the map in the water. It's something that easily could have been a funny gimmick, but is actually expansive and well-implemented enough that it's a legitimately useful and effective part of the design. I'd love to see more water included in future maps.
Really enjoying the game so far. Slower paced counterstrike vibe about it. The time to kill feels really impactful rewards quick aim rather than who’s got the deepest magazine
I noticed this when I was playing the campaign of this game and surprisingly managed to get bodied on Recruit difficulty (for reference, I'm a 2.4KD player in COD multiplayer and have beaten COD4, MW2, and BO2 on Veteran), and realized that I couldn't just run around without thinking in the campaign. I started slowing down, holding angles, and started to do much better in the campaign. Same advice translates to multiplayer; I started playing it like a glorified campaign mission, and it felt exactly like playing a campaign mission, which was super strange, as I've never felt that in a COD multiplayer before. All the attachments, guns, field upgrades, etc. are made for a slower, tactical pace; even the 'fast movement speed' attachments and weapons are meant for a more tactical approach. It sucks that you can't bomb rush spawns and spawntrap like in BO2 which was super fast-paced and fun, but I still enjoy MWII's multiplayer when playing it tactically nonetheless

And that’s why I always come back to your channel, Jack. Tips like this make all the difference, especially for me, who only plays casually.
I find myself while trying to learn maps and get used to a new game I make poor decisions and most of the time it is the running. Thanks for showing that setting. Great advice and would love to hear more tips/advice.
Great videos love your logic and acceptance to the reality of the game. You don’t have a negative attitude towards the game but a more realistic approach. Accept what you can change and ignore what you can’t. Good breakdown and your spot on with your analysis 👏
I've played call of duty for a long time, never could I've imagined having to look at a video like this. This game hurts my mental health haha! Good video and nice advice
A thinking man's take on tactics. Thank you! Im not a superstar at MW2 but I enjoy it. It's fun. Please continue these type of videos.
Pre aim everything, move slower, dive into cover have helped so far
True, game became camping & rat fest
@@nekotamo1925 obviously you don't use drill charge. Camping stops really fucking fast once you start drill charging camp corners
@@STARSRav3n No it doesn’t, they just change spots
@@STARSRav3n yeah like campers won’t abuse the flak jacket perk, crazy idea right?
i find the dive always just gets me killed lol.. its too slow to get your gun up and aim after a dive imo
What i love about your content is that you are usually reasonable and rationally thinking person, which is very enjoyable for a person like me, because i too try to be reasonable and rational, keep it up Jack, its great.
First COD game I've played for years. Really like the way the game plays and guns feel.
All aspects seem to fit my gameplay style.
Only problem I have is people not playing objectives! In all game types there's alot of camping.
Great video Jack, will hopefully help my gameplay.
thats due to the poor design of maps
Just remember some objectives need defence😉
“No information is good information” best advice I’ve heard all day regarding a mini map 💯
been watching allots of MW2 videos and finally come across a PC MW2 content creator. love it
i think my biggest problem is that i just don't enjoy taking it slow in cod. i understand that that's kind of what you have to do right now, it's just not why i enjoy cod as a game. i personally feel like if thats the gameplay i have to go for, i might as well go for a game like counter-strike. its honestly such a shame in my opinion, cause it doesn't feel as casual anymore as it used to - which was what made the franchise fun for me in the first place. good video.
also sbmm is awful
Same yo. Look up the controller settings that allow you to jump around corners like all the aggressive players are doing. I’m gonna try that tomorrow. Hopefully they make the time to kill a little slower so everything is a little more blanched but I’m not holding my breath
Yea it drives me crazy just tiptoeing around, would be cool to have a perk or something that gives some better movement stats to make the playstyle more viable at an expense of missing out on a different perk at least idk, way harder to kill campers not being able to blitz a room as well.
I love how they made firearms feel realistic. The bob of your weapon when you crouch and stand back up and the way you can’t just make a mindless laser beam and sprint like a marathon runner with it. You have to have the right tool for the right job in MW2 and I am all for it
Hey. These videos are a great information giver to us casual players that may take time to upgrade weapons. So it's good to know what to do with minimal attachments. And game play styles. Love it 👍
Totally agree. I don’t have time to grind this game out so it needs to appeal to the casual gamer otherwise we will lose interest. I want to have fun & get a few shots off but being constantly hammered by hardcore pros defeats the purpose.
Jackfrags: 'slow down'
HummusThunder: 'I took that personally'
Definitely enjoyed the video, and I'm looking forward to more! Thanks, Jack!
I feel that the sharkfin attachment is a must have on any gun that can carry it, the fact that it has no negatives makes it invaluable imo
Same with the Schlager PEQ box 4. Great attachment
I've been enjoying the faster ttk. Mw2 in general so far feels really solid, yes its missing features but I think it's a really good starting place to move forward with
Fast TTK is miserable and shrinks the skill gap. Dying instantly from a random angle is so awful, and a fast TTK ends up with a terrible, campy game, because nobody wants to move around when they die in a split second.
@@sohsuh7625 no you just need to approach fights differently
@@nuztuz903 fax. Play a bit more with your brain and not just rely on raw reflex time. More R6S and less run and gun
I'm fine with running across the map, if I'm hitting my shots I'm mostly unstoppable. But it's very hard to maintain that level of awareness for a very long time so I agree with you with slowing things down.
It's not hard to maintain it, it's just difficult for this game because of how many angles of attack there are constantly. Maps could use some rework.
@@BigManDaichi Tarq just needs to be removed all together
Ur not unstoppable bro I would drop u
@@sirballs5622 Your English needs some tinkering buddy.
@@sirballs5622 I said almost, I believe you could. Everyone can drop one another. Right moment, right time bam your dead
I like this more flowing natural way of tips! It's a bit less of "this is the way to do it and it's the only and best way" vibe which I get from some youtubers.
Never thought of switching to home theater on my headset. Thanks for the video!
Ur awesome man been watching like 5+ years appreciate you and wish you even more success
I'm still quite on the fence about buying this game, but hearing you break down some of the mechanics and learning more about the moment to moment gameplay helped me learn more about the game in a way that a review just can't. Nice video Jack. I'd definitely love more videos like this.
Dont
Don’t pls
the game is really fun i would recommend it
The hit detection in this game is terrible.
Wait for a sale at least.
You nailed it. My dad is an avid COD player and he was showing me the new game while I was visiting. He kept dying and dying and dying when normally he’s decent or dominating the leaderboard. I was watching and immediately noticed he was getting caught in sprint or other players would hear him and get shots on him first. I got to play for awhile and I played much slower and had more success getting kills.
I quite like needing to slow down in COD. Constant bunny hopping and sliding is just annoying after awhile. Looking forward to DMZ!
Highly agree with your vid. Huge increase in kills and game enjoyment. Definitely turn off auto tac sprint. I found slowing my play changed COD timing for me as well, to my advantage.
This is exactly how I play and I’m loving it. So many of my cod sweat friends don’t know how to slow it down. Take your corners slower.
Best COD gameplay ever imo. Feels more grown up and refined
Can’t wait for them to make MW2 for a third (technically fourth) time.
What? That doesn't even make sense lol
Lol 😂
Why didn't they name it mw3?
Literally makes no sense.
@@mayoyrn8379 He's including the mw2 remaster few years back
I love that this game is slower! Requires more thought and change is strategy depending on the situation. I've been playing like this and more often than not I'm at the top leaderboard without being a try hard.
You sound like a tryhard
Let me correct your sentence. "I have been camping and holding angles and more often than not I am at the top of the leaderboard without having any skill"
@@ravic1754 Yup
@@ravic1754 lolol y u mad bro
@@nazer121 bro I’m tired asf of these slow campy cods. Like they are literally lying to people and confusing them by calling the game MW2. It’s nothing like that game and it’s honestly an insult. Infinity Ward hasn’t made a decent cod since Mw3. Tell me when I’m telling lies
This was great, much different way of thinking to a lot of the other creators out there. Most people have the same thing to say and I'm not saying that they don't have great points and tips to get better with fundamentals this was great to see you take a new approach as in this game specific way to play. 👍
"just slow down" *skips and hops across the room as he says it*
This helped me a lot. I haven’t played a cod game since bo3 and as you know in that game sprinting and jump shorting was the name of the game. It’s been a bit of an adjustment trying to get back into cod
I'm a fast/rush aka aggressive/rapid gamer when it comes to COD games, it comes from cs 1.5 times :D
Never had a problem with kills while jumping/sprinting/tactical sprinting auto, sliding in MW2019 and now in MW2.
Maybe cause I'm used playing fast/rushing for 2 decades, I got no problem with it, I hate playing slow, I do it only when there's team play, else very rarely.
And I know I'm not the only one, for some slow gaming works while for others fast gaming works.
P.S Small hint, for lots of kills try the knife+riot shield and throwing knives (1shot) in this COD compared to MW2019, your so fast omg like on nitro :)
And another hint while this guys play slow/campy, play fast/rush and build your class fast and you will reach and kill them from behind :)
That combo is mad fun on Farm18, larger maps not so much but I've been trolling FFA matches with the riot shield, knife, deady, and overclocked xD
my biggest problem with this game coming from an aggressive playstyle is that they basically lied in the marketing. They kept repeating how this game is meant for all play styles and we will cater to all of them but then they do everything in their power to punish aggressive playstyles and constantly nerfing things aggressive players use while not touching anything the other playstyles do
@@bigboyskills exactly. Then they ignored a lot of complaints the community was having, minimap, perks, ninja/dead silence. Hell, ghost doesn't even work like it claims it does in the game.
Apart from the SBMM and one or two of the maps, I am loving this game. One of the best CODs in a very long time.
Loving the analytical commentary here. Reminds me of the commentary you use to do. Definitely prefer this over the biweekly throwback vids.
Kitting weapons around fast aim walking speeds I think is going to be the meta. Gives that mobility while being immediately ready to fire. That's how I've been kitting my weapons, and I haven't had any issues clearing rooms of campers. Pieing corners and sticking to walls is the other. Before entering a room, sweep it from the opposite wall. Then move in, check short, then move to short corner while sweeping the rest of the room to the opposite corner. If it's a large room or the door is in the middle of the wall, that's when I use flashbangs and check the more obvious spot. Really enjoying the pace of the game so far. You have to implement some tactics to be highly effective while still having a high level of skill.
I LIKE THIS STYLE OF VIDEO. Freeflowing tips and tricks is a win.
This is how I played CoD back in the day of the original modern warfare games. Haven't played a CoD game since Ghosts. But this style of gameplay served me pretty well.
I am loving the slower more tactical gameplay. It rewards players that are actually trying to play like a soldier. I'm peeking, covering every entrance/exit, diving for cover, and pre aiming whenever I'm not needing to rush an objective. This game is just top tier. Every match feels like a campaign mission.
Yeah hate to break it to you but you can play like that in any COD
@@odst2247 Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but you couldn't. Recent COD games at least were more fast paced and had the advanced movement mechanics like slide canceling, drop and jump shots. shots.
Jack, I recently found your channel and I have watched ever warzone video from the last few years. I haven't played a video game in about a decade but still enjoy your videos. I can't wait for some warzone 2 streams with Tomo, Stod, and Westie. Cheers
Yeah, TheXclusiveAce is fantastic for the stats behind attachments, weapons, etc.
Thanks for the additional info Jack, it's been my experience that moving slower is generally better, but I still get the CoD classics of jump-shotting snipers, which reminds me that it's still CoD.
I've also discovered that being aggressive and pushing objectives can turn around defeats with a clutch win. I'm not sure if that's because everyone's more campy, but focused pushing on an objective can help. There's always the sniper just one-tapping everyone from across the map though 😂
🤖🤖🤖🤖
TL;DW: Get good and adapt!
In all seriousness, I seriously appreciate the level headedness of this video!
Love this. You’re not spending time complaining about the game meta, but rather focusing on how players can maximize the meta we have. Well done.
I retired from playing on my Xbox One for YEARS. The last games I played was original MW2 and BO1. I reactivated my account and playing again when I can on the new mw2.
I have muscle memory to run, jump and rush all over the place like back in the day, definitely has taken some time to learn to SLOW DOWN😅
MW2 is still the best game I ever played. My only 2 complaints are that the silencer for the 9mm never worked, and that you could open the map in killcam to find your killer's position. I'm not sure everyone knew that second one until way later, but I liked staying scoped in the whole time (where appropriate, obviously) so that my target couldn't easily figure out my position and the killcam map negated that strategy.
Very interesting especially the Audio part. Home Theater was the best in WZ for me but now it doesn't seem to work. I had to change to Headphones with Boost. I'm using Hyperx Could 2. Personally I love the changes they made. CoD feels like a shooting game now and not a "sliding" game :)
more like this please i missed this, also Xclusive Ace went into depth about whether or not you should use score streaks and I agree they are better on TDM but if you could investigate further on kill confirmed and domination I would appreciate it.
It's better in all modes. The score is equivalent to the xp for kills. You get score for other things besides kills though. So it's always faster to use scorestreaks.
Oh yes scorestreaks another way for them to shrink the skill gap
@@balcorn9211 scoretreaks have always been better. Killstreaks promotes camping and score streaks promote playing obj which people dont do enough already. After playing mw19, the majority of people never cared for obj. Why risk your killstreak to get a flag if you dont get reward for it. Scorestreaks were usually higher in points to get the same streaks as well.
@@Lazyfoal Yea it’s still a crutch for players who can’t get 3 kills without dying. These games have been tailored more and more for low skill players.
Thanks so much for the video. I'm sick of everyone hating just because it's not the same crackhead playstyle as MW19. Thanks for taking the game at value and assessing this situation instead of begging for it to change
Thanks for the advice, I slow down my path and I do get more kills!
Great advice! As for movement, I am still using auto tac sprint, but I bound a key (left alt in my case) to toggle walk and set my walk speed to fast. Now when I'm going into a situation where I might encounter enemies I'll toggle to walk. Gives me the edge in gun fights, but still keeps me from constantly manually sprinting in every other situation.
I agree that playing methodically and slowly is the better way to play this MWII, but it just isn't as fun.
I personally prefer to play fast paced games, so while this may be the best way to play this game I will still be sprinting around like a headless chicken a lot of the time especially when pushing corners to try and brake the opponents camera.
Finally ! Thank you i am glad you are one of the few TH-camrs willing to speak truth
I for one needed to see slide cancel and bunny hopping NERFED
This video actually gives me hope I’ll return to warzone
Perfect advice I did the same, stopped rushing like I did in Cold War and started taking my time and i started playing waaaay better
Thanks for mentioning about the sprinting and the nerf on the run to aim thing because this is what is killing me everytime. I need to turn off my auto sprint and and change everything to manual
Too right. For once I've noticed these on my own. Prefer it. Those ballerina moves I can't keep up with. As a BF player, I'm used to being methodical. This game is meeting me more in the middle and Im actually having a decent time.
“As a bf player” then go play bf this cod is imo the worst it’s been in a while, cod players don’t want our games to feel slow and campy if we did, we would play battlefield aswell. But y’all are infecting our games by giving feedback saying the game is good when you just like to be able to sit still and camp the entire game
@@Devlinsky “then go play bf” meanwhile on battlefield 2042….
@@Devlinsky lol did you forget about the previous cod games? That were highly praised? Or did you only started playing cod recently?
@@Devlinsky If you think that BF players just camp the entire game then you have not played a BF game.
I played MW 2019 just like Jack was describing and I EXCELLED in the realism game mode and was pretty average at everything else.
Jackfrags showing why he is, to me, the GOAT. Helpful, practical, doable advice.. delivered in the calm/easy going way JF does it. Love it - THX
Very informative. But I’m more focused on that 300 fps… 😮
Funny how people ignore this when they see streamers shitting on people
yhea the video is for 4k so even if it is 4090 is huge
"By the time that they have to stop tactical sprinting, bring their gun up, stop jumping, they're already gonna be dead"...lol
Your videos are my favorite. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Most helpful
I kill alot but i usually get killed after most of them
Half of my deaths are people flying through the air and pre-aiming around the corner in the air. These "headless chickens" have an extreme advantage by moving fast.
It's more about your positioning I know this isn't very helpful but you got be hyper aware of where/how you push thing
A lot of good advice, as always. When I at first played the beta, I was disappointed. Felt like movimg a mech with a broom stick up its rear end. Now I actually rank this game high. Multiplayer is nice. A lot of great 3-lane maps.
Nice seeing Xclusive ace get a shootout. A real legend
"in game stats"
If only jack, if only.
sick vid!
Your so right about this COD being much more tactical and methodical. I LOVE IT!! Its really evened the playing field for me personally being a tarkov player I used to dread COD matches. IMO alot of this has to do with their DMZ mode coming out. I kinda feel like alot of the game was designed around the coming DMZ mode. I'm getting on average about 15 more kills or more per match than I used to in previous COD games.
Hiya, Jack! With the 1st couple of games I played of MW2 , I noticed the gameplay was "different". I do agree with you that if I play at a slower pace I get a lot more kills. Thanks for another ROCKTASTIC video! Yes, I ( like many others ) would like to see more TIPS n TRICKS videos. YOU ROCK,JACK!😎👍
Besides the shark fin grip I’d recommend the agent grip, it’s gives much better stability and some hip fire accuracy at the cost of some aim walk speed
Great video Jack! I love those style of gameplay so much.
Great Video!
I’m definitely guilty of rushing all over the maps with no real tactical strategy.
Time to SLOW DOWN!
I have to say, I'm finding the more tactical, method style of gameplay very refreshing.
Overall I like this iteration. One thing that does bother me is the lack of flinch in this game, especially on sniper rifles. I can't tell you how many times I get the first shot or two on someone and they one shot me.
I got the impression that there is a bit more flinching than before, but the TTK is so fast that it will rarely be decisive.
@StarSpawn I've tried the flinching rounds and I don't think they make any difference. I'm sure someone will do some testing on them soon.
No, stop. Flinch shouldn't even be a thing in FPS. Maybe for only snipers
@@hachelyd_i03 What a 🗑 take. Flinch needs to be increased across the board.
MW19 had the same problem. Empty half a mag into someone using a Kar98, only for them to instantly one tap you with zero flinch or reduction to their accuracy. Honestly, one of my single biggest annoyances with that game.
I started using this tactic in BFV and realized it makes the game much more fun and realistic. It allows you to analyze your surroundings more, and using cover that you wouldn't have if you are just running around. For sure decreases your deaths as well
I'm surprised you didn't cover tuning. I was absolutely hating my life trying to grind out the m4, but then I tuned it up to increase accuracy and damage... My life was forever changed. Went from barely staying positive with like 15 kills in a good game to 20+ kills and an over 2.0 kd in almost every game.
This was great for me, I've always played super fast in other cods and have found I am not enjoying mw2 because I keep dying, but this explains why I keep dying, I'm rushing to much. Cheers Jack
I've found the 50 round drum mag for Mp5 is really nice as you can hold angles and push further than without it
Has a million cons
@@stinger7799 like what? A slightly slower reload speed and minute change to movement speed? You can compensate for the second one with all your other attachments.
With such a low ttk you can get away with the smaller mags. Big penaltys for bigger mags
You might as well equip an LMG...
@@kells.au. there really isn’t that many penalties for using the drum mag, just run no stock, 12 inch barrel, comp and a decent grip and you’ve got the perfect mp5 build
The changes are much appreciated, IMO. It feels like a new game and not just a map expansion.
I just really wish they'd stop trying to incorporate warzone into all their new games. Cod is not Cod anymore. It's warzone with cod on the side. The engine does not feel like a co game any longer.
Duck walking play style for the win this year
Solid advice for sure. I running like an idiot but I'm more learning the maps for now, but will definitely chill when it all settles in.
I'm finding more success in anticipation and methodical movement in this game. One more thing I noticed that I'm getting more kills in maps that we had in beta because I know the layout and know how to take advantage of it. Map knowledge is playing a huge role this time around. And really loving that map with underwater flanking routes. Helped me a lot with lvling up my handguns.
Yep, map knowledge is huge for sure. There were a few maps I wasn't fond of at first, but as expected I like them a lot more now that I know them better (not that I know them perfectly, it hasn't even been a week).
Hydroelectric is definitely a great map, it's so much fun being able to traverse under and around the map in the water. It's something that easily could have been a funny gimmick, but is actually expansive and well-implemented enough that it's a legitimately useful and effective part of the design. I'd love to see more water included in future maps.
I love the new mechanis and TTK in this game, it allows me to be far more tactical and I hope they keep this in all the games going forward
Tactical is just another word for camping?
@@nordblut666 its their cope
Really enjoying the game so far. Slower paced counterstrike vibe about it. The time to kill feels really impactful rewards quick aim rather than who’s got the deepest magazine
It has never took a whole clip to kill someone in any cod this cods TTK is way to short
@@JaTweak no ur just missing all ur shots 👍🏼
This game couldn't be further from countrerstrike lol.
@@bonkyo that makes no sense, if anything what he said implies you're missing shots, l2p bot.
That tip was the reson i fell in love with your gameplay . Thank you
I noticed this when I was playing the campaign of this game and surprisingly managed to get bodied on Recruit difficulty (for reference, I'm a 2.4KD player in COD multiplayer and have beaten COD4, MW2, and BO2 on Veteran), and realized that I couldn't just run around without thinking in the campaign. I started slowing down, holding angles, and started to do much better in the campaign. Same advice translates to multiplayer; I started playing it like a glorified campaign mission, and it felt exactly like playing a campaign mission, which was super strange, as I've never felt that in a COD multiplayer before. All the attachments, guns, field upgrades, etc. are made for a slower, tactical pace; even the 'fast movement speed' attachments and weapons are meant for a more tactical approach. It sucks that you can't bomb rush spawns and spawntrap like in BO2 which was super fast-paced and fun, but I still enjoy MWII's multiplayer when playing it tactically nonetheless
