I think I’ve had my best payback kill in Modern Warfare 2 so far. I was out of ammo on my main weapon while defending the flag and two guys were approaching from the left. They both popped out at the same time, I wasted one of them with my Glock 18 and wounded the second. I also took a bit of a beating in the process. After this we both kept peering from behind our cover to see where each other were. I figured machine pistol wasn’t going to be accurate enough to kill this guy especially since he had a scoped rifle and the recoil of the gun meant it was going to spray all over the place. Desperate measures were required so I got my knife ready.

After a further 30 seconds we both left cover, I threw my knife at him and he shot me to death. A split second later I got a payback award – the throwing knife hit home.

I died, but it was for the greater good.

… the greater good.
