Featured Modern Warfare 2 Video
MW2 FAIL #1 - Painkiller win

Uploaded 30 May 2010 by Entaise

Today's featured Modern Warfare 2 is a graphic illustration of the power of the Pain Killer death streak perk. The target takes two definite hits from a Barrett .50 cal without dying. Ridiculous, right? OTOH, it's a death streak perk. You get it by dying. A lot. So, MW2 players out there: Stop obsessing. It isn't that big a deal. There are way more significant problems in MW2 multiplayer than something you get only if you die three or four times first.
