There’s no greater feeling than making history by pulling off an impossible move within any game, especially within Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. A Redditor with the name doughy_baby claimed the early victory as he uploaded a clip showing his team eliminating the sniper encountered during the Cartel Protection mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Landing an impossible kill shot within warfare games can earn you instant player popularity, nevertheless when it’s recorded amongst Call of Duty’s greatest moments and shared to their millions of fans. Throughout the history of shooters, gamers have been able to make impressive shots that earned them amazing kills, as many players have seen their share of awesome plays being made during matches.
Modern Warfare 2 reached new highs with an impressive sniper kill shot
What’s even more impressive, is that the Modern Warfare 2 campaign has only been out for less than a few weeks and is only available right now to players who preordered the game. Having said that, the game hasn’t even had time to reach the mass popularity of players and already users are reaching impressive milestones on the newly released sequel.
The news-breaking kill shot was on the mission Cartel Protection, which is where players see Ghost and Soap working with Mexican Special Forces. During the mission, players will come across a sniper, which doughy_baby was able to bait out and kill.
In doughy_baby’s video, it shows them launching grenades into the air, almost aimlessly. The player then looks into the distance for a bit before shooting one last round. They look through their scopes and see the explosion from the grenade they fired taking out the sniper trying to hide among a group of trees. The shot was amazing and impressively pulled off!
Doughy_baby’s sniper elimination has impressed a few Reddit users. One gamer asked how doughy_boy even saw the sniper, while another mentioned that they didn’t even try to kill the enemy since such a shot was a difficult play in a past Call of Duty title. Doughy_baby explained that they knew where the enemy was from baiting a few shots and then keeping a lookout for a glint and tracer. The strategy worked and demonstrated a bit of skill as a shot like that is definitely not an easy one.
The early release of the campaign for Modern Warfare 2 is proving to be a good idea. According to SteamDB, Modern Warfare 2 has already reached a peak concurrent player count of over 94,000 players. This is not the highest that the series has reached, as Black Ops and the Modern Warfare 2 beta did reach higher numbers. However, this is impressive for a game that has not officially been released yet and shows the anticipation that many gamers have for the upcoming shooter. It also displays the potential that the title has when it does officially release when gamers such as doughy_boy will be able to prove their mettle against other players later this week.
