Sorry to hear about your uncle, it's great you guys are working hard to raise the rest of the money for a proper funeral. I hope the rest of the grieving process goes well for everybody and everything goes well for you guys despite the loss.
I don't own a PS3 so I hadn't heard of Modern Combat Domination till today. I'm on IGN right now (ended up there only because of screenshots) looking at some screen shots and it looks really cool, I bet it's a ton of fun. The fact you went 39-4 in 15 minutes is pretty sweet. I don't play competitive multiplayer much but when I do it's been Halo, CoD, and most of all Team Fortress 2. In Halo I get a lot of kills but I also die a lot, I'm like canon fodder and a killing machine all at once lol. I like to switch tactics all the time. I'll spend a life (anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes for me) being a camping sniper, then I'll die, get bored of it, and also because I don't want to be known as a camper, I'll spend the next life in close quarters scrambling around and beating people to death.
Like you I'm also surprised how few team players there are out there at times. It's one of the reasons I don't like competitive multiplayer much. When it goes bad, it really goes terribly. However when it goes well, it goes incredibly and beautifully well. It feels so good to work as a team and succeed, and I had the best experiences doing that in Team Fortress 2. Like Halo, my lives in TF2 never last for too long, but I switch classes each time and try to use skills the team needs right at that very moment. Maybe at the moment I died, our team was playing a capture the flag match and at that very moment we desperately needed a spy to camoflauge himself, wander in, and get a jump on the enemy for at least a few seconds and our strategy would somehow work out. So I'd do it, it would work, and we would all feel like a million bucks. There's nothing like winning.
I would also enjoy spending time being a medic. I made a friend on XBL one time because we kept ending up in the same matches and he would be a heavy and I would be his medic. He would walk around blasting people with his mini-gun and I would constantly be healing him, and occasionally we would use our temporary invincibility ability and plow through the enemy base or through a barrage of engineer turrets. It was so much fun. Sometimes you don't actually have to kill anything or engage in much combat to contribute to a team and objective. TF2 rocks, it's definitely my favorite.
