MW2 New Recruit
Ok my son has presented me with a CD box with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on the front which I can apparently put in my PS3 and get shot. 
That sounds fun as I've not been shot for years.
All I need to do is find out what controls to use and I can go out and get shot some more

Level one 's probably a bit advanced for me just now 
Easiest way to play, Sit in the corner with an LMG and spray when someone runs past.
You will probably get a lot of abuse though

Thats a horrible way to play. If anyone plays like that then the abuse id deserved!! I never use LMG's, i care too much about my accuracy

Struggling is part of the fun of the learning curve Addnan
It wouldn't be very realistic if I didn't get shot on a regular basis in the early days.
I'll be back with a vengeance so watch out

Rmemeber my top tip - when you pull out a frag grenade, make sure you hold onto it for a good 10 or 15 seconds to build up full power before throwing it.

...and make sure the area around is clear of objects that it could bounce back off 
Good point.
So - how are getting on with it anyway? Are you playing online or playing the campaign?
Let us know your user name/gaming tag or whatever the youngsters call it and I'll add you as a friend. We can form some kind of suicide squad.

Campaign at the moment and it's seriously frustrating getting to grips with targeting.
Now I know why I never signed up for the Army it's absolutely manic

I imagine learning to play Modern Warfare 2 for anyone that hasn't grown up with gaming can be compared to learning to drive. At every level you could compare the difficulties.
To start with you don't even know what the buttons do, you don't know how it handles, you don't know the 'rules' and it can seem very overwhelming having someone with experience beside you helps a lot.
Before you take your test or the plunge into online you realise that you are still in the bottom half in terms ability and skill (which comes with experience)
Once you've finally been driving / Modern Warfaring for 20 hours you feel extremely confident but you still panic when someone jumps out in front of you

...or behind you
I seem to have arrived at a dead end now. I know which direction to go but can't find a way out. I've even shot a couple of dogs here (sorry Poppy and Josie but it was them or me).
Oh well if at first you don't succeed...........
