One of the most infamous terms withinCall of Duty’s multiplayer-driven community is “CoDtiming,” though one player has shown the larger community how to game the system inside ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. There are plenty of clips online showing how players have fallen victim to this infamous timing as they attempt to peak a corner and the second they look away, another player manages to kill them. However, if this particular player’s way of beating “CoDtiming” proves effective, it may become more commonplace inCall of Duty’s multiplayer.
While the term “CoDtiming” has become commonplace over the last two years within theCall of Dutycommunity thanks to Urban Dictionary, it has been the bane of many players stretching back to 2007’sCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfareand up to 2022’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The term refers to when a player camps a door or window in the hope of peeking an opposing player, only to get killed the moment they look away or reload their weapon. It reflects the fast-paced, somewhat snappy style of gunplay theCall of Dutyfranchise is known for, juxtaposing it with the heavier, slower gunplay ofBattlefield.

The apparent counter to “CoDtiming,” though, comes from Reddit user ComatoseWolf who shared their clip of how to beat this timing ontheModern Warfare 2subreddit. In the clip, Wolf decides to camp a doorway from another doorway in the same building to try and catch a snapshot kill. Wolf appears to bait the opposing player by starting to turn away, but not so far they can’t snap their gun back to catch the opposing player trying to take advantage of “CoDtiming.”
Wolf’s quick thinking in the clip appeared to leave responding users in a general state of awe and curiosity about being able to pull off this kind of misdirect themselves. Mixed in with the awe was a tinge of frustration among some users over still falling victim to “CoDtiming,” with some players saying it has only gotten worse insideModern Warfare 2’s multiplayer. On the other hand, a few players claim to have pulled off the same play themselves, reinforcing it as a valid way to counter the game’s timing.
It is just the latest trick players have discovered insideModern Warfare 2that they are using to beat other players between the competitive multiplayer andWarzone 2. Wolf’s “CoDtiming” counter and other tricks such as the strangemovement strategy called the G-Walkhighlight just how creative players are getting inside this latest iteration and the lengths they will go to get even a slight advantage over other players. Given the game has only been out for around a month, players shouldn’t be surprised to see crazier and stranger tricks crop up over the next several months.
