Try it anyway, I joined the US crowd and the slower play style means lag isn't to much of a hindrance if you can pull 2 bars or more. I remember playing a game on... Skidrow? Forgot the map names
, but the GTP side had a half of the map completely locked off, if anyone ventured past sort of the halfway mark they were murdered by crossfire from GTP bullets. Sure the other team probably hated it, and I'm not usually one to slow my game down to much but it was mighty effective and an enjoyable change of pace.

Man those massive GTP sessions were amazing!
Have a fair few good memories from them!

It's pretty amazing how well we do together considering there is ZERO communication at all. We all bring something specific to the table. I am a flanker and a perimeter player, I rarely venture into the middle of a map unless I have no choice. I work the outside, getting behind the other team for easy kills except on my sniper maps where I just park my ass in one or two spots. Plus I'm a mini-map whore. I know exactly what's going on 90% of the time. If I see a triangle disappear I know where to expect people to come from, or when I see the skull on the game screen I know to be ready.
I went 30-0 in a game on Wasteland when it was just slims and I. I was cursing myself for switching off the nuke a couple games before. My Predator did nothing and I was at 20 kills before I called in my chopper gunner. It was total carnage. If the game hadn't ended I probably would have beat my best streak of 33.

I've gotten a really, really, really awesome one before. But A6 and Icarus were doing so good it ended before I picked up a crate. It was 2 Pave Lows, a Harrier, and a Predator. And there's no such thing as a bad killstreak, even if you get a UAV/Counter-UAV it'll still get you and your teammates a couple extra kills.
EDIT: Thanks for the warm reception to my introduction guys
. Just kidding.

Slims, do not play with leo in hardcore. You somehow found a way repeatedly end up in his line of sight. You'd end up in the line of his fire more than once for sure. Nice vid, by the way. 👍 I didn't have a great game, but 9-1, I'll take every time.
And good to know Cam's real name. I did think it was Cam, as I know someone with a same name. Collin. Good to know. I wish Icarus would tell me his name, as "Forza" is just as lame.
"a6" on the other hand, it's pretty catchy, am I right? 
I almost had a perfect game in that Scrapyard match you guys are talking about, but got lag killed in the very end. I had so many games I'm emptying a clip into the guy, but I barely get the register. I cursed. A lot, actually.

I've been doing so bad lately.
Got used to the M4A1 + Holographic again, but i'm still getting steamrolled.
If I try and ambush, then they will always find me from behind. Run-n'-Gun and I will face endless bullets.
I need some help with this. I'm rank 59 and I still do terrible. I use Marathon/Stopping Power/Commando.

Like Icarus mentioned earlier, you want to be aware of enemy movement on the mini/UAV map. Keep your back to walls, or edge of the map. That will minimize getting shot in the back.
If you suck, IMO, you must equip the silencers. Guns without silencers might as well be bullet magnets. You become a moving bullseye.
Drop the M4, use SCAR. If the fire rate is too slow, go for ACR. Keep the stopping power, drop the commando for Ninja Pro. Must be Pro, as it will help tremendously by silencing your footsteps.
It would also be good idea to look over the kill streak rewards. They can be a huge part of your success, or possibly the other way around.
One thing about MW2, they put in TONS of help to assist the noobie players. Many loves or hates this game for that reason alone. I'm not particularly good at games, and I was 1.50-ish k/d player in CoD4. In MW2, my k/d is over 2.5, while I have hundreds of "MVP" accolades(most kills, minimum deaths). I'm still above average at best, skill-wise. But it's the map design, perks & kill streak rewards Infinity Ward saturated the game with that helps me put up some numbers, and certainly not because I've gotten really good at FPS, since the CoD4 days.

I've got to point out that while we're throwing out information to help you guys, our methods just might not be effective for you. We've all developed our play style through trial and error I'm sure, and kept what worked and ditched what didn't. Trying to stay on the perimeter and keeping your back to the boundaries is definitely a good way to cover your tail. Of all the accolades in the game, 6th Sense is the one I have to have the most of, which is for no deaths from behind in a match. It's either that or Undercover which is for being close to the enemy most. Using the map terrain and buildings to your advantage is a big key in doing well. Minimizing your time in open areas will keep you from getting shot at from 4 or 5 different angles. Be fluid in your movement, be able to flow and adapt. You don't want to get dead set on going to a particular spot a particular way only to be surprised by someone. Too many times I have found myself focused on flushing out one person only to miss the guy running at me from the side.
As with classes and weapon setup, I swear by the silencer. There is no fear of being spotted on the map when you fire, so you don't get people rushing at you when they see your dot near them. Also an effective way to take out multiple enemies in a short period of time before they notice their buddies drop beside them. They'll have to guess which direction to face. Plus it helps with recoil. ACR and TAR are my go-to guys. The ACR is a bit more accurate at longer ranges, but the TAR has higher damage. The perks I can't go without are Cold-Blooded Pro and Sit Rep Pro. You can use any 1st perk that suits you, I happen to choose Scavenger because I'm so awesome I'd run out of bullets without it. I run an OMA class as well, but that's just for adaptability as I can drop some claymores then switch to whatever other class I need. Ninja Pro would probably be the better 3rd perk for most because getting to Sit Rep Pro takes forever. I don't care for Stopping Power, I don't use it, I will gladly sacrifice that 2 or 3 bullet advantage to be able to roam the map without having to worry about UAVs and air support. I might get 3 or 4 kills instead of deaths with SP, but I'll also probably get killed 3 or 4 times by killstreaks.
When I first started, MW2 was the first FPS I owned on a console that had usable multiplayer (I had one of the CoDs on PS2, but you needed the modem thing for multiplayer). I had played MW split screen and I sucked and this was no exception. I was probably about a 0.75 - 0.9 player throughout the first 70 levels, although I was closer to .6 because I started off so bad. I worked it up over 1.00 through the first prestige and I've gotten it up to 1.5 total now, and I'm closer to a 2.00 - 2.5 on a regular basis, and on good days well over 4.00.
And for the record a6 if you must know, you may call me Dave. Just don't ever go all HAL 9000 on me or I'll beat you. Also, holy cow I typed a lot.
TL;DR- Finding what works takes time, limiting your blip on the radar is a big help, be adaptable to what's going on in the match.

If you have awesome internet! If you have DSL like me, go with the stopping power.
But Hal is completely right. You can not expect to play one way, and be consistent. Being able to adapt will make you a much better grade player. Dave. I meant Dave. And yes, if you didn't have insomnia, you would dream.

Me and my buddy were hanging out earlier trying to decide what the most useless possible class would be, and came to a class with a Riot Shield and Javelin. It was actually really fun trying to guess where people would be to shoot the thing. If you're ever bored, try it in Ground War 👍.

Hal :| Dude have you not seen 2001? I meant dom't go around saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that." And it wasn't insomnia today, I got up late and wasn't tired. I fell asleep fairly quick once I did get tired.
CAM: Riot Shield, Javelin, Smoke Grenades, Blast Shield, Sleight of Hand, Stopping Power, Steady Aim.

No time for useless classes for me. Still working on ACR headshots. I got the ACOG out last night, it worked surprisingly well(for headshots). I want to play real bad, but I'm home with near-migraine headache today. I wish it would go away. 
Though I did get the 2001 & its' sequel mixed up!
Hal was in more than one movie, mother trucker.

I've have the problem several times. First thing was the direction of the ps3's disc player. Make sure the ps3 is placed flat and level. Second yet is the most easiest, which is to wash the disc. What I do is a bowl of cold water, roll it around, and dry. Works everytime. 👍

Using some toothpaste on a cotton ball also works. Use one ball with some toothpaste on it and rub it evenly around on the disc. Then wash it off with water (rub off any excess toothpaste with the same cotton ball) and dry using a second ball and/or cotton shirt. It's worked heaps of times for me (Source: http://lifehacker.com/155741/macgyver-tip-fix-scratched-cds-with-toothpaste)
