How to Perform a Finisher in Modern Warfare II

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, not the one from 2009, is the latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise and brings back familiar characters and gameplay elements. Like its 2009 predecessor, it also features a campaign filled with familiar characters, explosions, and lots of plot twists.

People might play the story mode for a bit but multiplayer is where most fans will end up spending their time when campers don’t kill them. The game should feel familiar to any returning players. One of the best things to pull off during a multiplayer match is a finishing move. These melee attacks are usually accompanied by a brutal animation that you perform on an unsuspecting opponent. In this guide, you’ll learn how to perform a finisher in Modern Warfare II.

How to Perform a Finisher in Modern Warfare II

To perform a finisher in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, all you have to do is get right behind an enemy player and hold down the melee button. This button will differ depending on what platform you’re playing the game on. For Xbox and PlayStation players, this means pressing and holding down the right thumbstick. For PC players, this could be either mouse button 4 or the V key. An easy way to set someone up for a finisher is to hit them with a stun or flash grenade. This will allow you to sneak in and hit a finisher on them if you’re quick enough. Performing a finisher is the perfect way to get back at that annoying camper or the player who just teabagged you.
