This week saw the release of 2009's most anticipated and perhaps most hyped video game. Infinity Ward's "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2" has been selling out in stores around the country and around the world as eager gamers have splashed the cash to get their hands on the latest piece of first person shooter action.

Once the game has been purchased and enters your home and eventually its relevant games console (Playstation 3 or Xbox 360) you will need tips for surviving the explosive experience until the game's end credits roll, and the game is ready to be traded in to recoup some of that initial outlay.

Following below, are the essential survival tips and strategies for every household on a Call of Duty.

Tips for those enduring rather than playing, including (though not exclusively), wives, some husbands, spouses, annoyed mothers, frail grandparents and nervous pets:

  1. Leave the room and pray that the player will either beat the game really quickly or for some unknown reason will get bored and stop playing.
  2. Sound proof the room where the game is being played with some high quality (but not inexpensive) industrial sound soak.
  3. If you are happy to sit shivering in the darkness, then sneakily switching the electricity off and pretending there has been a power cut, may be an option.
  4. Throw a very loud party in the next room and hope that all the guests are not distracted by the gaming skills being displayed just a few yards away, leaving you on your lonesome once gain.
  5. File for divorce (even if you're not married) and marry someone who hates videogames.
Tips for the Game player:

  1. Use headphones to drown out the explosions and war cries from your online buddies and hope that your loved ones are in a deep enough sleep to be blissfully unaware that you are still trying to get past level one on Veteran difficulty.
  2. If tip one has failed, then make sure you still have the plastic game box, as it will serve as a very handy deflector shield for all small and medium sized missiles, which are likely to be thrown at you from across the room.
  3. Promise to do all the household chores after your gaming session has finished, in the hope that this generous offer will buy you some time with your riled relatives.
  4. Permit all other household members judicious amounts of time playing the game themselves, in the hope that they too will become addicted and will at least sympathise with your need to keep on beating the bad guys long into the night.
  5. Tip five is drastic and must be avoided if at all possible, but if you sense your spouse is about to employ their own tip five, then there is only one thing that will save you, sell your copy of the game and buy an extra controller instead and head on over to your friends house (who has kindly allowed you use of his house while he is at work all day!).

Great article. Well done.
 
I have read and heard so much about this game. I'm not even a big gamer at all.
