Today's featured MW2 vid is a quick clip of multiple achievements by Ronin6337. Next up is a booster hunt montage by Shadowunter745, who takes on the boosters Sandy Ravage-style. Finally, Hutch shows exactly why I frackin' hated the CoD4 map Countdown: The "fish in a barrel" spawn trap. Is it a legit tactic? Yeah, I guess. But it beats me that players complain about camping to hold a spawn area, but trapping a team in a spawn and wasting them as they appear is OK. FWIW, I think it's douchier to sit outside waiting to kill players the second they appear than to fort up and wait for the enemy to assault. On to the links:

The rest of your multi-tab browser will stay exactly the same as it was pre-crash."
