Weapon Choice for Team Deathmatch

Players can equip loadouts according to their own preference, considering that Team Deathmatch is a casual game mode meant to familiarize players with the weapon and movement mechanics.

These matches are usually fast-paced and a quick means to earn XP for faster progression leveling. Players can run around the map in such modes and it is better to use an SMG class weapon and a shotgun paired together. Sudden enemy encounters call for hip-fire accuracy and faster fire rate.

The shotgun can be used as a means to hold off players rushing corners while the primary weapon needs a reload.

Tactical and Lethal Equipment

Utilities can play a major role in any game. They can be used to initiate on enemy players or to make a path to retreat inside cover. It is crucial to have reliable tools in such situations. There are plenty of players who enjoy flanking their enemies and getting kills onto unsuspecting people from behind in Modern Warfare 2.

A Flash Grenade or a Smoke Grenade can be utilized as tactical equipment along with a Proximity Mine in the lethal slot. The Proximity Mine can act as a deterrent in taking out such flankers.
