In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a clip is currently causing a stir, referred to by the creator as “an unwritten rule in CoD.” Numerous viewers can totally relate to the situation.
On reddit, a clip has now received nearly 30,000 upvotes (as of July 6 at 5:00 PM). It shows a situation that almost every CoD player has likely experienced.
If the timing is off, you can quickly get taken out. In some situations, this is all the more frustrating.
Bad timing ruins the kills
This is the clip: We are embedding here the video from user orangesony:
In it, you see how he is in a fight with another player. This one is hiding behind boxes, and orangesony is patiently waiting for a body part to peek out and looks through his scope to take a shot.
After a few seconds, the opponent does not appear, and he stops aiming. At that moment, the enemy jumps out from behind the box and gets the kill. Had he looked for one more second, the encounter would certainly have turned out differently.
Why is this an unwritten rule? This is not the first player to have experienced something like this. In the comments to the clip, there are many similar stories. User AWalkToA merely refers to it as “Call of Duty timing.”
On reddit, there are also other clips that demonstrate similar timing:
Are there any other stories? Here on MeinMMO, we continuously report on funny or absurd actions in Modern Warfare. The failure of another player in Modern Warfare also thrilled thousands of players. However, he played as a sniper.
But it can also go quite differently. A particularly stylish victory was achieved by another reddit user. Through a kill animation from Operator Price, the player was able to win a round in a particularly cool manner. There was much excitement from viewers and a victory for the player as well.
