Call of Duty - Blocking Tactics.

Blocking tactics are a relativley new phenomenon in the Call of Duty world. First seen on Activitions installement - Call of Duty Modern Warfare -, blocking has transgressed to the latest platform of the multi-million world wild selling title - Call of Duty World at War. The phrase ' blocking' is thought to mean when a player conciousley and deliberatley finds an ally or team mate and blocks them into a corner, making it unable for them to free themselves. Blocking often comes with fatal consequences.

The Rise of Blocking

No-one can be certain of the exact date of origin with regards to blocking, however the most recent cases that have been documented are by username - Stiofan_123 - A player whom has become increasingly notorious for using this tactic. Blocking is a very strange tactic, seemingly appearing to be detrimental to a players personal playing stastics along with being detrimental to the overall team peformance.

Platform

As of yet there are no known or documented cases of blocking in the Xbox Live network, blocking seems to be exclusive to the Playstation Network only.

Consequences

The outcome of the blocking tactic is never admirable. In the majority of cases the victim of blocking is left with no other option to commit suicide. A player does this by initiating the pin of a hand grenade and holding the exploding device until detonation, thus killing themselves, yet the blocker remains unscathed. Another likley outcome of blocking is the victim trading ' slashing ' blows with a knife to their blocker, this continues back and forth until death occurs or bordeom. In a minority of cases both the victim and the blocker will be killed by an enemy that fortunatley stumbles upon the pair, absorbed in their actions, meaning an easy kill is left.
