Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer can be an unforgiving experience. Every player can recall at least one memory of getting spawn trapped by the opposing team and endlessly dying to a Gunship, Overwatch Helo, or Chopper Gunner. The harsh reality is nobody wants to equip an anti-air secondary and trying to shoot down the Killstreak manually usually ends in disaster. Unbeknownst to most players, one of MW2\u2019s Killstreaks is a perfect counter to aerial support, and most players didn\u2019t even consider it an option. A Modern Warfare 2 player showcased why most players use the Cruise Missile wrong in multiplayer matches. Modern Warfare 2 player discovers actual use for Cruise Missiles A Modern Warfare 2 player posted a video on Reddit of how to destroy a Gunship easily. They used a Cruise Missile Killstreak, and instead of diving it straight into the ground, they cleverly shot it back into the air and took down a Gunship in one fell swoop. The Cruise Missile only requires six kills of 750 points, which most players can obtain. In comparison, a Gunship requires 12 kills or 1500 points and was taken down effortlessly. One player responded, \u201cI would be so pissed if I had that Gunship, but I would be so happy if I were your teammate.\u201d Cruise Missiles work on other killstreaks, as one player tested it out on a VTOL and Chopper Gunner. However, not every community member believed it was the best use of a Cruise Missile. A second user argued, \u201cdon\u2019t waste a Cruise Missile on one of those when you can shoot it down with a SO-14 with incendiary rounds in three seconds.\u201d The player who posted the clip clapped back, \u201cif you have a missile ready, you don\u2019t need to die to switch to the SO or RAAL and then die again to switch back to your favorite weapon.\u201d Whatever you decide to do, there are plenty of ways to take down those pesky aerial support Killstreaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Warfare 2 player reveals simple counter for Killstreaks ActivisionSpawning and repeatedly dying to aerial support Killstreaks is a nightmare, but a Modern Warfare 2 player unearthed an easy counter.
