Knifing Guide for Modern Warfare 2

Ok. I will start with the knife.


The knife, in MW2, is one of the most valuable parts of your kit, and learning to use it well can be incredibly advantageous for anyone playing this game.


I went through an entire prestige tier using only a knife and my USP 45 handgun, which just goes to show how powerful it can actually be.


If you are wanting to shy away from focusing on using guns, and use your knife as essentially a primary weapon, I suggest the following setups:


For speed, use this knife build:


Primary:MP5k (or any other SMG/sniper if you want)

Secondary:USP 45 or Magnum

Equipment: Throwing Knife or Semtex

Perk 1: Marathon Pro

Perk 2: Lightweight Pro

Perk 3: Commando Pro

Deathstreak: Your choice (martyrdom probably offers the best option)


For what is called "Ghosting" (aiming to not be seen at all), use this knife build:


Primary:MP5k (or any other SMG/sniper if you want)

Secondary:USP 45 or Magnum

Equipment: Throwing Knife or Semtex

Perk 1: Marathon Pro

Perk 2: Cold Blooded Pro

Perk 3: Ninja Pro

Deathstreak: Your choice (martyrdom probably offers the best option)


Whether you wish to use tactical knife or not also depends on what you want. Using tactical knife allows you to more efficiently kill, which is very important, but I found that if you use the akimbo attachment for the USP's, the the animation is alot quicker anyway, and i tend to just use that.


Your choice out of these two builds (or any mixture of the two), entirely depends on how you want to play, with speed or invisibility. Using a sniper rifle as your primary will give you a ghillie suit if you think it would help. (Not to forget snipers have the mobility of any SMG).


I personally enjoy using a throwing knife, as killing with it is amazingly satisfying.


Hope this helped, and happy knifing
