I've volunteered to help train a guy in my clan for MW-2. I haven't played with him yet, but according to my friend, who recruited him, he dies too often. So, I'm going to recommend him to watch some war movies, such as "Black Hawk Down" (I'm open to any suggestions), so he can see how soldiers basically operate. Then, I'm going to play some 1v1s with him, then take him around the maps parkour-stlye and show him some technical aspects of the game (i.e. you can sprint and melee faster with the Care Package marker, the FAMAS fires faster than the M16 and retains the max damage for longer distance, etc.).
Now, this is all stuff that I learned on my own through experience or on the internet. I never had anyone dictate anything to me directly, like what I'm going to do with my clan-mate. So, fellow Escapists, how did you learn your games? Experience, strategy guides, hand-holding guidance, other? Or even a combination of all of the above?
And how do you train to get better at a game? Personally, I get better through a mixture of familiarization through repetition (aka play the game more) and watching other people play (which makes KillCam for me an invaluable source of info).
