Can't remember exactly where, but i've seen peoples asses sticking out of walls. Pretty funny if its not you.

The riot shield knifing one is so true. I can't count the times thats happend to me. Riot Shield: most broken thing in the game imo.


Another one: The visual damage on a riot shield disappears when your in smoke.

Oh yeah: Banana leaves= bullet proof

-The M93 raffica is the only machine pistol with the same quickdraw time as handguns.
-Holographic sight on the M16 reduces recoil
-Holographic sight on the FAL increases its damage (not sure to what, I've heard people say it's a 2 shot kill anywhere with SP)
-Stun/flashh grenades disable explosives (claymores and C4) temporarily. Pretty useful for if there's a claymore you can't shoot but need to get past, or to check if theres a person or claymore in a room.
-The deagles are terrible but look pimpin
-The FAL's underbarrel shotgun has the longest range of all shotguns.. but it's weak as shit

I'll edit to put in more if I think of any

judging from these comments i'm not sure if anyone is aware that

-If someone sticks your riot shield with a semtex, switch to secondary, and the semtex is gone

ed! has the best gif ever.

-On Estate if you camp on top of the C building, your ass will stick through and show anyone below you where you are.

-OMA tubing turns that frown upside down

-Sitrep pro allows you to hear players planting a bomb from farther away

-Though it is the default shotgun, the spas is the best shotgun in the game

-The Intervention have the same damage, the intervention has less idle sway

-Never fire akimbo g18s directly into a riot shield that is facing you, they will bounce all over the room and kill you

That's about it

Merged the "Obvious Stuff" thread with this one.

Using commando with a tactical knife will not have as far of a range compared to using commando with a regular melee knife.

yea :[ either way what I think that you were trying to say is that all the snipers have the same damage, the differense between them are the damage multlipliers? because that would've made sense.

Claymores can kill you even when you were on top of the opposite roof

-semtex have a higher blast radius than frag but are cannot be throwned very far.
-You can reload cancel by double tapping switch button or sprinting right after your ammo count has been reset to max capacities upon reloading
-model 1887 have increased ranged when used with bling akimbo-FMJ
-Sitrep also marks rockets and grenades
-ACOG DOES NOT actually increase recoil but the zoom makes you feel like there is more recoil for most weapon.
- Direct impact with a grenade launcher will one shot anyone except riot shield users at any range
-Most weapons have the same damage multiplier everywhere besides head wich have a 1.4x damage modifiers except sniper rifles

-The striker have almost no range loss when silenced
-USP.45 is the only pistol that can be effectively silenced
-M93 Raffica is the only non-pistol weapon who can be used in last stand
-The bomb your holding when your planting or defusing a bomb stops bullet. Having a max sensibility and doing 360 will stops most bullets
-Shooting a javelin missile to an aircraft that gets destroyed before the missile hits it causes the missile to randomly strike an area of the map, sometimes killing you
-Stinger missile can kill someone as seen here ; Modern Warfare 2: Ep.10 Top 10 MW2 Embarrassing Moments: 360Cinema (MW2 Gameplay Countdown) - YouTube
-The vector takes 3 bullets to kill in splitscreen but around 5-6 when online
-If connection pro was a perk, it would be totally OverPowered
-Beware when shooting a rpg, semtex or At4 when teamates are close, they may walk in front of you and make the rocket kill you.
-If a harrier is going to shoot you and you cant take cover just stop moving, the harrier ( on most of the maps) will keep shooting at you but will only miss you. You can also go prone with a riot shield on your back.
-EMP killstreak will detonate every ennemy claymore or c4 on the map but claymore placed after the EMP is used will still works.
-It is possible to get out of several maps such wasteland and afghan but is almost impossible to achieve it in a random game
-It is possible to kill any ennemy aircraft ( except UAVs and AC-130) with a throwing knife
-akimbo rangers is the weapon with the most damage if fired at the same time and if all pellets hits doing more than 600 damage (100 being your base health incore games). However it has a very low range. Its also the only weapon to have a challenge wich isnt expert or marksman
-Moving when scoping with a sniper greatly reduce accuracy
-Your movement speed is slowed down when using a Riot shield class even if the riot shield is dropped
-the Magnum is better than the Desert eagle in every way except the desert eagle have one more bullet capacity
-Using extended mags with P90 increase sprint duration by 4 seconds
-there is a slight chance if using scavenger that upon killing an ennemy with a throwing knife that the throwing knife will be stuck in the scavenger bag and if another ennemy takes this bag the throwing knifes falls on his foot and kills him
-using a claymore on a ledge will put the claymore on the bottom level

-The stealth Bomber Cannot be destroyed
-Chickens are immunine to nukes
-You can get out of the map on terminal, but you cant get back in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRXLQVsvs58
-Putting a claymore in a luggage in terminal is a good way to hide it.
-A javelin with Danger Close almost have the same radius and damage as a predator missile.
-the MG4 is the most broken gun in the game with 2 major problems ( misaligned iron isghts, broken silencor)
