Why You SHOOT FIRST DIE FIRST in Modern Warfare 2! (DONT DO THIS) COD MW2 Gameplay 

What's ONE thing you know you do that keeps causing you to die in MW2??

I’m always looking at my 11 bullets and thinking “should i do the reload” and then either die trying to reload or have 2 enemies near eachother and not have enough bullets for both🤣

Enemies sponge bullets I die straight away, 6-7 hit markers every time. I get shot twice and die straight away.

Nah,there is some thing different about this COD,I’m usually a K/d ratio of 1.2-1.5 in every other COD,this one it’s as if I’m against the elite players of the world,and I lose every gun battle regardless of these tips,and they all seem to know exactly where I am too,this game is void of all fun,maybe they will all F off when hardcore is back! Oh and it’s my birthday today too!! 👍

I'm a grandpa and an old Marine who began playing MW2 in order to get closer to my grandsons. You raise very good points here, although the best advice you gave was about refraining from 'Revenge.' What most players fail to understand is, it's a game. You're not going to pass the guy in the hall who killed you on MW2. Your pride is not going to be diminished on CNN. Just move on. It's just a game.

One thing that causes me to die all the time is the spawns. I’m playing it slow and next thing i know i’m already dead because i either get shot from my sides or from an enemy that was behind me, i don’t know how they get behind me so fast without me even being able to hear them and honestly with this game the guns have a lot of recoil to where even if i manage to turn fast enough and shoot my shots will miss, the aim assist i feel like it doesn’t actually slow down for me and i have it on normal while the TTD feels off like as if i die in 1-2 bullets from every enemy. Idk what to do man, i know i don’t suck i was pretty good at modern warfare 2019 and always had a blast playing that game but this game overall just makes me feel uncomfortable, always on edge and the maps overall are not satisfying, the design just isn’t fun for me while the spawns are also pretty broken as they cannot keep up with individuals who rush the map and kill people extremely fast. The only thing that’s really good to play for me is either Invasion, Ground War and sort of Shoot House but even then the SBMM is pretty intense and i cannot get a single game where i can just have fun and relax. I thought games were designed to be fun and to help one relax not be another chore or stressful activity where you have to be your very very best in order to get good results.

With all these mistakes in mind, I found that recording my games so I could critique my playing afterward has really opened my eyes to how much I make these mistakes even when I'm trying not to during the game. In turn, as time goes on, in the recordings I see more and more "correct" playing from myself and less mistakes. I wish I would have saved some of my earliest vids to look at the difference. I'm no amazing player by any means. But I now get more kills than deaths consistently. I couldn't say that before.

This game is so frustrating, then there's always that one guy on the opposite team that doesn't die, you could put a whole clip in em, they just mow me down

I'm normally a 1.5 to 1.8 KD in CoD. This one? Probably around a 0.7, 0.8. This is NOT fun.

Great video my man! Netcode is bad! I have noticed the discrepancy in the kill cam since the early beta. The revenge is probably my number 1 mistake. Then cod timing followed sprinting when I should know not to. I’m trying to sprint to the action then slow down before I get there but I get picked off on the way in.

Very helpful about going for little kill streaks at first. Good stuff man. Happy bday little man!

I’ll give y’all a tip. Play with a battle rifle with no attachments. Once you mastered playing with that weapon it will break all your bad habits and you will be a beast with automatic weapons

Ngl the satisfaction from a revenge kill is unmatched especially against a camping sniper

To mine or reloading when I shouldn’t be and getting shot. The second one is something you mentioned I never thought of is in a gumball I can’t win getting damaged, hiding waiting to them better and the second I poke my head out I got shot. I never thought of it that way. Great advice. And happy belated birthday to your son

Happy belated birthday to your son, hope he feels better! Talk about COD timing and reloading, when I don’t reload I turn the corner and have 3 targets and can only kill one! Great video on tips, always enjoy your content!

Happy Birthday little man!! Thanks for the video I do 6 of these. Gonna check out the aiming video now

Great tips man! I felt all these especially the objective part. I ALWAYS make sure to have some goal in mind when I am playing. Either working on Camo's, leveling up guns, etc. I will be sure to put these into practice next time. Thanks!

I felt like u we’re watching my game plays! Lol. Great video by the way I am definitely guilty of a few things. For me it’s the getting shot, regain health, engage, get killed.

Timing, being ready for a fight, positioning, and setting yourself up for easy engagements are key.Crosshair should always be at neck height trained on entryways or around corners. Knowing when to camp a power position or when to rotate around. Map/game sense is very important.

Happy belated Nick. I’m usually on point with your videos. Been super busy with work lately. Great stuff by the way.

Definitely the reloading issue - Happy Birthday Nick Jr 🎉🥳

Great video. Good content. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video Nick, i do 6 of the 7 tips wrong, it's like at times you can't help it. And happy birthday to your boy.

nice vid, helped me alot

Good advices, for every COD or every multiplayer

THANK YOU. For talking about what you called COD timing. I thought I was losing my mind!!! I would be aiming down sights for what felt like eternity at an area that is a routine common thoroughfare and I will see literally ZERO adversaries. Constant foot traffic of friendlies but not a single enemy. Literally the second I move…BAM!!!!! I’m murdered in the face by some fuck who just happened to appear after 20 damn minutes. So. Damn. Irritating. Sometimes I’m convinced the MP servers as screwing with me.

Happy birthday to the little fella. Great advice my friend. I'm def guilty of 2 or 3 of these and will consider this in my future gameplay. (ps new subscriber ;)

Thanks dude!!!

Spawn in and someone is literally right behind me everytime. Also going into a 3 on one gunfight everytime.

Good job buddy thanks ......And I did hit that SUB button

I’m a reload addict. Actively forcing myself to reload less over the last week or so.

Love your videos brother

it's also playstyles too. leveling up my LMGs is a total different style than SMGs.

Love the content brother an Happy Birthday to your son hope he feels better soon

Thank you this was very helpful

Hey Nick. New subscriber here. Cheers for this video. I can agree with most, if not all of these tips. Been playing since the beginning of computers and consider myself rather good at cod games. Thats till i hit this one. Shooting people in the chest with almost half a clip only to have them annihilate me brcame fustrating to the point i almost quit. Hearing what you have said, im sure to give it all a good go tonight. Cheers matey and fantastic video. Very clear and well spoken. If i could give more than one like, i would have. 👍

Happy birthday little nick

Thanks for tips like real talk

Happy birthday little man 🎈🎈 hope you get better soon 🎉

Happy bday baby nick!!!

Wise words my G

Great tips. Happy Bday to your little man

Seeking revenge is how I get a ton of kills. The game respawns you close to the person who killed you. After I kill you a lot of time I just stop, chill and wait for them to just come sprinting around the corner.

I learned not to sprint as soon as I spawn in like some idiot. Spawn in, determine where my team mates are THEN I have a general idea where there enemies are and either position myself to engage or avoid that area. Good points all around tho!

Happy birthday! Hope he feels better

Happy bday!

Happy Birthday to your son. Hope he get better soon. Nice video btw !

I pick my battles with revenge, if he looked shit on the kill cam then I’ll go for it 😂 but if they shred I just chalk it up to aim bot and be on my way

Happy birthday Little man hope you feel better!!!!

Using the m16 made me rethink my skills and come to this video

I die alot just playing the objectives tbh. I play aggressively and on objective modes, I feel im one of the few actually playing the objective. Ill go 55/70 but have 3 min in the point and be first on my team lol. Happy birthday to your son and hope he fells better asap :)

man great video i do all this mistakes 😐

HBD LIL MAN!!!!

The best way for IW/Activision to fix the “shoot first die first” nonsense is to completely remove flinch resistance. No one should be able to ads when they get shot

The thing that always gets me and its so annoying becuase I like to play modes like grind, is theres ALWAYS more. Like, I can get in, kill a guy, 2, sometimes 3, but then theres ALWAYS without fail another one just off to the side. :(

Happy birthday little man

Haha This video was definitely made with me in mind. Literally, every single point was spot on!

I play a lot of free-for-all and I find it a pain in this game that the player I killed spawns 10 feet away so they know where I am and are ready for me. Respawn should be on the opposite side of the map to where you die.

Happy birthday little dude!

Happy birthday little G

Happy birthday buddy

I challenge too quickly. Also, I used to do what I call "panic aiming/ tracking". Meaning I would aim and shoot, and if they ran to my right, I would basically pull my thumb stick all the way right, trying to track them even though they couldn't possibly move that fast. I had to train myself to just barely nudge my stick that way to keep from over shooting, especially now that aim assist is wonky. Sometimes it will pull me towards an enemy behind a wall I haven't seen yet, and sometimes it won't kick in when someone is right in front of me.

I wish I had a camera seeing my tantrums when I sneak up behind someone and start shooting them and then I get destroyed from the side right before I get the kill. Its frusterating. You are right tho. I always play my best when Im going for goals instead of just running out trying to get quick kills.

At this point I'm just going for cammos leveling everything up getting ready for wz2 multiplayers is beyond chalked full of cdl pros

I’ve literally been killed by a guy in a bunker as he swept through with his team mate, spawned outside and been killed by the same people again, only to spawn back inside the bunker and get killed by a chopper gunner missile. How can you get better when that happens?

6 and 3 I am guilty of. even 2 on occasion. this was a very informative video. :) I am definitely trying to play smarter.

Happy birthday little dude

Good video Nick, thanks. Happy birthday to your son

Man the COD timing is unreal.. I looked through window for like 20 seconds, and i start running, 1 sec after someone is behind me lol

now we know what nick was doing valentine’s day 4 years ago 😂 you dirty daaawwg!!!!

happy birthday little dude

Spot on with the reloading addiction.

I die most of the times in most online games is cause everyone somehow literally shoot 5 meters on my side or doesn't look like they are looking at me, i go behind wall but their shots still register, or in fortntie i build a wall i even played a replay i made and it shows how bullet went true the wall... that's so fing annoying, it definitely has to do something with ping or server lag, and im so fucking mad, is it the games or is it my internet, i tried many internet settings nothing helps. ping is normal and no packet loss on my end it seems fine so it must be server lag or some shit

Happy birthday gang🎉🎉

COD timing is the bane of my life.

LOL, at some points I am dying do to all of those.

Happy Birthday!!!

I laughed so hard when you said reload addiction 🤣🤣🤣 I'll fire 3 shots and reload and die becuase there was another person coming around the corner

nice video, was kind of an "eye opener" for me... for me it is the aim and seeking revenge...

Bro you literally hit every issue I have and I know I'm a pretty good already, but that revenge shit is the hardest not to do 😂

I just wanna say thanks for the advice I just bought MW2 and I'm semi shit so when u said we all been there that made me feel better! And Happy Belated Birthday to your son I have a 5 yr old daughter! So respect from one father to another! And would be cool if I can play some games with you I'm looking for friends to help me out I'm on playstation. I just subscribed and liked thanks again.

i do die so often by getting killed by a hardcore camper and seek for revenge and die by the camper or another camper again..

Happy Birthday 🎁🎈🎊

Agree about the shoots that do not register on time because Activision does not want to pay for fully optimized servers; for example, the bit rate on Valorant is 126, and mw2 is 35. Well, as you see, that is a problem.

I’ve got 10 days played in every cod from cod4-bo3. Had just over 50k kills in SnD in bo3 with a 3.5 kd. Been playing apex mainly, can drop 20 bombs and 4K damage games. Most my friends won’t play apex because it’s too hard, yet I’m top 1% in that game. I’m not bad, mw2 is bad. Really really bad.

Aiming and shooting straight is my nemesis. I hate campers.

I agree half way with the revenge. I have developed a few tactics to fck with hard campers. So the revenge thing is quite fun now

Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Happy Birthday 🎊 🎉

COD has turned into Valorant w all these people sitting around corners ADS for 5 minutes waiting for someone to walk by. Hate this shit lol need new maps immediately

I have 7 major problems: 1) reload after each kill, 2) reload after shooting 1 bullet, 3) reload during a gunfight when there are 20 bullets left, 4) reload without using fast hands, 5) reload after dying and spawning, 6) reload, and & 7) more reload. I need to really work on this issue.

Great video. Thanks for the tips. One point..when my mate comes back for revenge on me he gets me everytime, is he hacking? When I try to get him back it happens like you said..im dead dead dead? If you send me a link with any info on why Shoothouse was taken out of Private games I'll subscribe. It bugs me

Happy birthday 🎉

Happy birthday 🎉🎁

Happy birthday to your son. Get well soon. Thanks for the tips

Camo challenges. Trying to get kills with launchers

Dawg went to mount every box and hold every angle 😂

A lot of times I die because I'm pressing down on the thumb stick too hard causing me to either crouch or stand up when I don't want it to

Happy 4th Birthday little guy, have a special day. I die from reloads all the time, or if I don't I forget and the bolt locks open during auto reload.

7 and 3 is Me all over ha ha 😂 and you should here me give out when I no I'm doing it but can't stop ha
