No you can't destroy them. You can't even move them really, I tried to throw a semtex on one stuck on the edge of a building and it didn't even budge upon the explosion.

I found out that you can totally destroy a Sentry Gun if you KNIFE it...

Sorry if this was already known

And on the topic of Riot Shields....STUN GRENADE those bastards and run circles around them....it's really quite hilarious.

-Turn depth of field off
-Turn specular map off
-Stay on the move, makes you harder to hit
-Don't crouch through doors
-Don't be afraid to no scope/hipfire

Why? Isnt that just eyecandy, I dont see how it impacts gameplay?
I have seen other games where I had to turn postprocessing of completely because it made the game unplayable, but in MW2 I dont really notice the difference when playing.

Re: Official Tips Thread!

depth of field blurs too much of the screen. sometimes you can't identify enemies outside your aim fast enough when things are blurry. you're also more aware of the situation when everything is in focus, not just down your sights.

as for specular map, i leave it on. it doesn't bother me.

Re: Official Tips Thread!

Doesn't specular map make things shiny? It seems like that would make it easier to identify people by the moving shiny objects.

Re: Official Tips Thread!

Depth of field blurs your surroundings, making it harder to see targets.
Specular map makes car windows shiny, making it harder to see targets through them.

Overall, the casual player won't notice much difference - they're just a few tricks I learned from my time playing CoD4.

There is a title called "Infected" that when you use this title and knife someone on the oposite team, they compelete a challange called Infected and then they can do the same and spread the infection.

BTW, I'm an infected :eyebrows:

Makes me wonder who the original infected player was...
An IW employee? :hum:

I got infected the other day. It would be cool to see a chain of which players started out being infected, and how quickly - and to where - it spread.

Re: Official Tips Thread!

Now i want to be infected! I see to knife a fair bit...all hell will break loose then.

Re: Official Tips Thread!

What makes me wonder is what other hidden things are in the game like that.

Thats not a tip though

Re: Official Tips Thread!

Yeah, I was infected just recently. If you're out doing a bit of stabbing, use that title and surprise a few people with their newly found achievement.

Re: Official Tips Thread!

-Hip fire is more effective than iron sights 90% of the time
-You can often cancel reload animations by double tapping your change weapon key or sprinting
-Tactical insertion can be extremely useful for CTF
-Use a frag grenade rather than semtex. Semtex may be cool (and is useful against riot shields) but it is not nearly as effective as the regular frag.
-If you are being shot at don't continue running! Swerve to the nearest object and shoot back. So many times I see people thinking they can outrun me, and even if they turn a corner they just get walled.
-Switch up your kill streaks for the maps/gametype. The predator missile is very effective in domination but not so much in TDM.
-Learn to use sound! It's extremely easy to wall people without ever seeing them simply because they are running.

What do y ou mean by wall people?
