well there was port in the gameroom, so he just hard wired that. cuz theoretically it should be a millesecond quicker

I was wondering about this too. I wonder if he meant PC.

I found this article online and thought some of it was interesting.

Forward this to Bigs….I don’t have his new email

Here are some simple strategies to follow in the multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare 2.
Have a Camp Out
Modern Warfare 2 does not reward players that rush out into the open. In fact, your main objective during your first few levels will be to seek out these people, and kill them.
Finding a hiding spot in Modern Warfare 2 is a relative proposition. If you can find a spot which has a good view of the enemy, but where the enemy will be more likely to concentrate on looking a different direction, stay in that spot until it's obvious to the other players that you're mowing them down.

Good examples of these hiding spots:
1. Perpendicular to a building's window. Typically, the enemy players will be making their way through the building, especially on the ground floor.
2. The most common hiding spots in Modern Warfare 2 are second floor walkways or windows. Honestly, most of these spots suck, but even a bad spot has a couple of advantages. First, you're likely to get out of combat if you need a break to recover from being shot. Second, if you can find a window or ledge that has a good view of either an alley or a "town square" that the enemy has to pass through, that'll make a decent spot until someone decides to take you out.
Don't Rush To Deploy

If you're doing well, you'll get "Kill Streaks" - rewards for killing X people in a row, which you can deploy by pressing over on the D pad (different on PC).

Here's a list of the Kill Streak rewards you can use. Many of these remain locked until you reach a certain level:
3 Kills - UAV: Sends a UAV to scan the area and locate enemies on the minimap.
4 Kills - Care Package: Call in a package drop by throwing smoke to wherever you want the package to drop. It contains either a random killstreak or ammo and can be used by the other team.
4 Kills - Counter UAV: Blocks enemy UAV
5 Kills - Sentry Gun: Airdrop a sentry gun that fires at enemies.
5 Kills - Predator Missile: Calls in a remote control missile via a laptop which you can guide to kill enemies. You are defenseless while using the missile.
6 Kills - Precision Airstrike: Calls in an airstrike which you can control the direction where it comes from.
7 Kills - Attack Helicopter: Call in an attack helicopter that hovers around and kills enemies.
7 Kills - Harrier Strike: Hovering plane which can attack enemies.
8 Kills - Emergency Airdrop: Call in a supply drop.
9 Kills - Pave Low: Calls in a heavily armored helicopter to kill enemies.
9 Kills - Stealth Bomber: Massive amounts of bombs dropped on your enemies.
11 Kills - Chopper Gunner: Lay waste to enemies as a chopper gunner.
11 Kills - AC-130: You get to be the gunner of an AC-130 gunship via laptop and rain hell upon your enemies. You are defenseless while using the AC-130.
15 Kills - EMP. Enemies can't use any electronic perk. Basically kills all other perks.
25 Kills - Nuke. No, not the Robocop drug... A tactical NUKE. Obliterates enemies.

Your kill streak unlocks stay with you when you die. If your team has already deployed a UAV, keep your UAV Kill Streak reward until it's needed. Don't use a Patriot Missle (or AC130) when you're exposed - get to the back of the map and crouch or lay down. When you're sure you can deploy safely, do so.
Another aspect of not rushing to "deploy" is this: don't run out into the open after you've been killed. Many times, you'll respawn close to where you died; get to shelter of some sort. If you die multiple times in a row, you'll get a Death Streak:
3 Deaths - Copy Cat: Steal the class / weapons of the person that killed you. If you're new to the game, and you're getting killed by more experienced players with better weapons, this is an advantage. As you rank up, this advantage fades.

4 Deaths - Painkiller: Triple health for 10 seconds after spawn. The intent here is to get you the hell outta Dodge if you're getting spawn killed over and over. It's still pretty useless against missles / c130s, and it's also no use if you spawn in a relatively fair location.

Basically, in Modern Warfare 2, avoiding death is probably more important than killing. These "perks" aren't all that great, as a practical matter.

Later, you'll unlock Martyrdom (drop a grenade at your corpse after 4 deaths). This has potential, as does "Final Stand", which is like Last Stand in Modern Warfare, except you can use your primary weapon, and you can actually recover from death!

Collect the rewards

The "Care Package" that gets dropped when you or your teammates get a kill streak can contain UAV blockers and turrets (among other things). Turrets are especially useful at low levels, where you can easily rack up an additional 500+ points of experience by "doing nothing".
Unlock the right stuff
As you level up, you'll unlock several items. When you unlock more than one DECENT attachment to your weapon, be sure to use the Bling perk to allow both attachments simultaneously. Yes, this uses one of your perk slots (the first one), but it can really be advantageous.

At your earliest opportunity (around level 10-11), consider unlocking the Sentry Gun; it's the same sentry gun that's available in the Care Package, and again, the reward can be great, XP-wise.

Stick to the Good Grenades
You'll be able to use the Semtex grenades pretty early in your advancement. I recommend the Semtex grenades (sticky) if you're the type of player that can predict movement. Since the grenades stick, you can position them far more accurately. Plop one onto the corner of a building if you're being chased, or stick one on a window sill to get rid of a sniper. Even if you "miss" with these grenades, you can typically buy yourself more time with them, because you can "clog up" a window or other common snipe location. A regular grenade will likely roll behind a sniper in Modern Warfare 2, but a sticky will force the sniper to fall back away from his spot so that you can advance.
