Modern Warfare 2 Player Attempting To Reach Level 70 Without Killing Anyone

This feat may sound impossible, but for Game Informer reader and hardcore Modern Warfare 2 player Glen McCracken, it's only a matter of time. In two hours of playing, Glen has reached rank 5 without taking a life. Using pacifist means to earn points, Glen estimates it will take him roughly two months to be the first player to reach rank 70 with zero kills.

[FanOfGaming]

lmao what a joke, even that is impossible because, in a sense, you don't have to do much to get a kill, simply walking around and deflecting a grenade can cause someone to die.

[DasBunker]

this would be more doable in BC2.. where you actually get points to do your job as medic, engineer etc..

[AtatakaiSamurai]

come on, this was already done mw1 by many people. i did it easy --> martydom, sonic boom, pwn. you soon really get good at finding a "cluster" and running right into it lol

why do you think this game is so popular? cause it makes gamers who are normally really good at shooter feel UBER! you don't have to shoot a single shot to get kills so when you do shoot and kill you get rewards for every single bullet that comes out your gun it seems lol

hell, even knife kills are auto aim but make people feel like they actually legitly are insanely awesome with their knife. i mean autoaim for even knife kills? isn't that just overboard?

[Parapraxis]

I think that's the point Das...the fact that the game isn't intended to be played this way is why it's a challenge.

[IHateYouFanboys]

@AtatakaiSamurai:

ummm martyrdom kills people.....the whole point of NOT killing people is to, well, NOT kill people. using martyrdom is the opposite of that.

good luck to him i suppose. its certainly 100% possible, itll just take a long time and wouldnt be very fun.

[Blaine]

"martydom, sonic boom, pwn. you soon really get good at finding a 'cluster' and running right into it lol"

Wow, you're so skilled... And people wonder why I say MW is for noobs...

[goflyakite]

Honestly you can get so many points in a game like HQ and Domination without doing anything. It probably won't be that hard to do. That said it probably will be very boring.

[-SIXAXIS-]

But by shooting air support, isn't he technically killing the NPCs driving the aircrafts?

[CrazedFiend]

Read the title. Now read your comment. Now, read the title. Now, read your comment.

[Motorola]

riot shield boosting, capturing points in domination only... thats all the methods i can think of

[xHarvey]

Planting bombs on search and destroy and sabotage,capturing the flag,capturing the hq,destroying air support,completing challenges that don't involve killing. That's all I can think of right now but there might be more.

[hassi94]

Can't risk planting bombs, only defusing, as planting may kill somebody.

[Sarcasm]

Why would anyone bother with it?

It's like

"I'm going to beat Gran Turismo 5 competely but without racing other cars."

o_o

[Weaksauce1138]

I think beating the game while in reverse is a better analogy.

[Soldierone]

@Weaksauce. Totally trying that in a rookie race when the game comes out lol.

[belowradar]

You sir,get a bubble for the funny

[gman_moose]

If he sticks to S&D planting bombs, HQ capturing the HQ, and Domination, he can rank up quick. Although, he'd have some pissed off teammates in S&D if he just stands there and lets someone defuse the bomb because he can't kill them lol.

[DeFFeR]

No bomb plants - they kill people.

Defusing only.

Riot Shield, Flag caps, HQ capture etc... no violence

[JsonHenry]

Some people have more time than sense I guess.

[Static-X]

Mister_No_Kills it doesn't exist -_-

[ForceCSW]

What's up with that?

[LtSkittles]

they changed it Mr_No_Kills, but Idk if that one exists

[r1sh12]

MW2 rewards noob tactics.
Ive killed people by keeping a riot shield out and use the richochet system and gotten kills.
I dont understand why people are still talking about this stupid nooby game.
Its sucks, IW sold out

[Terarmzar]

Only thing i did was only knife people in which i made an account for that called Knife-N-Runner. but it got old pretty quick

[RockmanII7]

UMP45 with silencer
some pistol with tactical knife
Lightweight
Marathon
Commando

That's the way to go. Who cares if someone is upset by the way you killed them, I doubt anyone is happy when they die.

[ScoobyDrew]

ninja is WAY more useful in that setup... at least for me.
plus it takes more skill

[renegade]

I say f*ck mw2 im playing bad company 2.

[Rybakov]

that is what you call no life

and it screams it as soon as you read call of duty cause call of duty fails on all levels of life

[Psycho_Mantis]

Wow, can you say "NO LIFE?"

[UnSelf]

hes a gamer, he has plenty of lives

[jbird45345]

Lmao. That is a great line.

[Ninja-Sama]

Beautiful. Bubbles for you Bubbles lol.

[KRUSSIDULL]

There is a Facebook group with the name: "Get a life? Im a gamer I have many lifes"

[Coffin87]

Bubbles' sure getting bubbles today.

[DreamcastFanboy]

This guy is one hell of a pacifist.

[MGRogue2017]

Lol, I think I might have seen & shot him in one of my many matches.. Dunno, Ive shot quite alot if these riot shield dudes who just stand around haha

Good luck to him! :D

[ethan]

I can just picture this guy making it all the way to level 69, and then accidently bumping the controller trigger and releasing a grenade that gets a kill...epic fail lol

[StitchJones]

Lame

[ChronoJoe]

Incredibly easy in Dom or HQ where you can do shit all, sit in a corner, and leech off of your team. Hell you could probably hit 70 with no kills, and less than 100 deaths.

[TheGameFoxJTV]

Who approved this?

[Subzero200x]

so what if he does will anyone give a sh**? no.

[kasasensei]

Activision will sent him a free game for sure. :p

[Rybakov]

haha yeah a free game that he has to pay 60 bucks to get

[BubbleSystemSuck]

maybe a glitch and BAM!!!! level 70 10th Prestige and all Challenges

[Xx Ziyad xX]

will if u say Reach Level 70 Without Death it will be interesting and challenge , but come on reach 70 level without kill its not that challenge , all u have to do is to be a Patient

[PidgeottosCrew]

I wish this guy the best of luck. This actually sounds like fun, though I doubt I'd have the patience to persevere with it. I don't even have the patience to persevere with MW2 when I'm actually killing people. Just too much rewarding of campers in that game.

[Lord_Doggington]

he's got a riot shield...don't people with riot shields get credited for a kill if others reflect their bullets off the shield and kill themselves...like if it's on his back? also, donking a flash grenade on someone in last stand would also lead to a kill..

man that sounds tough

[Jack-Pyro]

You get an assist, but not a kill.

[Jack-Pyro]

Let me rephrase that, DIing or "Direct Impacting with either a grenade or a Special Grenade" dose give you a kill.

Even though it says you can reflect bullets off of a riotshield and kill, I have never once seen it done, so in all likelyhood, you'll get an, assist.

[Lord_Doggington]

is it an assisted suicide?

[saint_seya]

getting lvl 70 on mw without killing is like finishing gt5 without driving.. its pointless... ima try to finish god of war without killing a single thing... wats the fun in that?

[PidgeottosCrew]

Not necessarily pointless. It's just a different way of playing the game. It's like if I was to say 'I'm only going to use the throwing knife' or 'I'm going to play with my elbows'.

In the end it's all about enjoying yourself, and if this person is going to get enjoyment out of pacifism then I say all the best to him.

[chazjamie]

hmmm, i have to agree. this is truly a waste of time.

[i3EY]

Ok first this is a noobs game he'll probably play capture the
Flag all day with lightweight and Marathon

This Guy just has no life

I pity him

[kasasensei]

"Modern Warfare 2 Player Attempting To Reach Level 70 Without Killing Anyone"
Good luck guy! good luck! XD

[psycho360]

Anyone bothered to check teh leaderboard charts in MW2? I dont know of late but 6 ~ 7 months back last i played MW2 i had checked the leaderboards in-game and the top 5~8 people who were 10th prestige had playtime of 3mins. SO you can do it.

[thief]

He should try MAG, it is possible to advance levels at a fast pace with barely any kills, have been #1 or #2 in the squad with he lowest number of kills.

And thats a genuine reflection of the nature of the game - if you revive teammates, hold down choke points and stick to the squad at key points to support teammates, you are probably the most valuable member of your team.

[a08andan]

For a second there I thought he meant real life. There are levels in real life, right? RIGHT!?

[Soldierone]

I dont understand the reward here. Its not "impossible" and the only thing he is risking is throwing a flash bang at someone that is in last stand. So in all its just 3 months of wasted time. And why the hell is he playing TDM? Thats just stupid.

[Spinal]

'Modern Warfare 2 Player Attempting To Reach Level 70 Without Taking A Single Life, Other Than His Own'

Fixed.

[Blazing_Crabs]

This guy was in my game of CTF the other day, he went 0-19, but cam 4th on the leaderboard.

[Neko_Mega]

Don't know how, I guess you can grab the flag and have your team support you...

Anyways you could do this easy on MAG, heck most of the time until you get a good level to have more skills, you can only heal and repair things.

BC2 is just like MAG, both you can fix things or help heal people.

[KimoNoir]

yea... level 5 in 2 hours, it'll take him a month to accomplish this and I doubt he'll make it.

This belongs on www.failblog.org

[MrChow666]

what a grind, its a pointless loss of time

[CombatEvolving]

Good for him, stupid pointless shit like this is always fun for some reason. Once he gets a predator missile he'll be set, just put on coldblooded and shoot down those pesky killstreaks.

[xtremexx]

wouldn't it be boring just waking around the map doing nothing, let alone the fact that the team will be pissed of at you for not doing anything. Now if h were to say "im going to get to level 70 without dying " that would be way more interesting

[Soldierone]

See now that would require a crap ton of skill, to a point where i think its impossible on this game.

[Lets-Game]

after playing cs for 10 years and trying mw2 was like like switching from pro athletic camp to fat camp lol. i remember playing first time at my friends with lagg, completely different binds than what i use in fps, shitty mouse and 3 games in I was first every game on free for all. Im not saying mw sucks its just its super noob friendly and I guess its why its so popular. Its still lots of fun I agree but when people say you need much skill in that game I chuckle.

[TheGameFoxJTV]

They just don't know how hard competitive gaming is. They only get Halo, and CoD type games that feel like auto pilot.

[MasterD919]

But...Why?

I could jump off a roof but that doesn't mean I'm going to. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should...Besides the lack of fun, who in their right mind could stand to play COD 2 months straight without actually killing one person.

I get frustrated playing for 10-15 minutes without killing someone in that game...I couldn't imagine 2 months of no fragging or shooting or stabbing...Mind as well just not play.

Even for any kind of first record this is stupid.

[Nate-Dog]

This is news?

Actually scratch that, this is the most popular news of the day?

[pwneddemocrat]

Massive no life alert

[Burgered]

I've heard of loads of guys attempting to do this but this guy is on loads of gaming sites right now. "sigh" the injustice in this cruel, cruel world.

[georgeenoob]

Well this wouldn't be fun.

[Inspector_Max]

Wha is this i don't even

[renegade]

Good luck,is going to take a lot of time reaching to level 70.

[Xander756]

What kind of world do we live in where you can ACCIDENTLY kill someone in a video game? How hard is it to survive in a game exactly?
