Second Chance being tuned

Lab_Mouse · 07-01-2011 02:51PM

I very rarely get a kill with it so never used it(in any of the CoDs,attempted to get its challenges but went feck that),but the amount of times I have been killed by it is seriously fecking annoying.

Having said that there are a lot better perks to use instead so why its so popular is beyond me.Sh1tty perk is a sh1tty perk

[QUOTE=Another example, you shoot a guy from distance, he falls into second chance and behind cover... alot of the time they'll either get revived or someone else will get the kill because you cant finish him off. Another problem that i've noticed the last few days... i've put people into second chance but they've killed me at the same time, with their primary ? How does that work ????[/QUOTE]

this has happend to me on multiple occasions.... run around the corner into some guy lying on the ground ...

Was just about to post what Yimrag said about whoever puts the player into second chance should get the kill.

It's a useless perk and I really don't get what he means when he says

It also rewards teamwork

No it doesn't, not to me anyway. If I see a guy in second chance I will never revive him. Serves the f*cker right for taking a sh*t perk in a game of domination when you could easily have something useful like Marathon Pro.

Would love to see this patched so that when you're downed the screen appears as though you have been hit with a Concussion or Flashbang.

Faolchu · 07-01-2011 03:39PM

i've used it in the past just to get the pro then upgraded to teh pro and used it for a few games before switching away from it.

i think its a pain that if you put the guy down you only get the assist. its also a royal pain in the nuts if you're both blasting at each other and he goes into second chance and gets that split second on invincibility to finish you off. I think it they make them invincible for that period then they shouldnt be able to hit someone for that period or something like that.

i tend to revive team mates if it safe to do so it deprives the other side of a kill

Was it Ade who absolutely polluted a guy with bullets in 2nd chance the other night on Summit? he was standing over this guy just emptying bullets into him was really funny we were like "i think hes dead"

haha so many wrong things there Krud. it was Ade on Firing range destroying the guy with an M60. near wet myself laughing at that one

krudler wrote: »

was it firing range? was sure it was summit, ah well, was still funny though, the m60 with extended mags is a beastly thing altogether, no reload as you dont get spare bullets, 200 in the mag, soooo much fun just letting rip with it, its basically a mobile mounted turret

I was just hoping your man would watch the killcam and be slightly more than scared of running into me in future.

Im glad i dont have to deal with ppl using second chance.
Just play S&D on PC, theres plenty of servers that dont allow it and police the rule well.

CORaven · 07-01-2011 08:03PM

Just to add my 2c in here. I think the kill and assist change is a great idea.

Yimrsg's idea about a blur does not appeal to me. I would rather that after those 0.5 seconds of invulnerability, I should have the upper hand. Odds are that I have a full clip emptied into a guy before he is ready with his pistol, I will need to reload where as yer man on the floor has a full pistol clip at the ready.
My suggestion would be that for an extra half second, floor humper must spend time taking out the pistol. Sure, it could reduce this time with Scout Pro, but it is some form of balance.

MarkY91 · 07-01-2011 08:51PM

i dont revive people who are down because many a time i got killed by that stupid perk even while i was blasting them with my galil and he just falls and kills me in 1 bullet:pac: also you preety much fcuked if you come across 1 of them when your using a shotgun since they take so long to shoot twice...i love the idea of it only being able to be used once per life!!..at the very LEIST please make it so that it doesnt take a fraction of a second to revive the downed man that is pathetic making it so quick to revive someone

The_B_Man · 08-01-2011 04:29AM

They need a new game mode....

RANDOM PERKS!

That way, the people who hate it can go in there knowing that only 1 or 2 people will be allowed have it, and out of them, they probably wont use it anyway!

08-01-2011 05:44AM

People who admit to using second chance, or who can even be proven to use it should be banned from this forum.

And I'm being deadly serious.

The guy who admitted to actually helping teammates up in second chance should be banned from boards entirely.

You can be knifed, shot with primary etc while the player is invincible and falling. I notice this wasn't mentioned in Trayarch's response.

^^bit over the top there ted:D

If you had to spend any longer reviving people, then the Pro effect would be worthless* - I assume the ability to be revived is granted by having the perk at Pro. The 2 seconds (or there abouts) is plenty of time for things to go bad (so the reviver is taking a chance, as it is). The solution to the perceived problem is hardly to make (what I would see as) the least-problematic element being made crap. It's hardly a perk if it's not of benefit, right?

*Please don't respond to that bit saying "The perk is useless anyway, durr durr", I think most of you have made your stance fairly clear already

The guy who admitted to actually helping teammates up in second chance should be banned from boards entirely.

Banned? :pac:

Lol you could be right or maybe he's just come off a 12 hour Blops session and got taken down a couple of times by second chancers

Seriously its been a perk in the last couple of COD games if players dislike it so much then they have the freedom to go play a different game, I play the game for the enjoyment of it all if I get downed by a guy in second chance I'll go back and kill him after respawn.

It's a real bummer to see some of the boardies getting so up tight about this whole issue and connection issues with blops, I have found each patch has improved the connection issues and also forwarding the correct ports for Blops on your router helps immensely, as well as having a decent internet connection.

i was being tongue-in-cheek lads, get a grip.

But if you're using second chance it's definitely time to question your sexuality.

Shammy · 08-01-2011 04:07PM

I dont have the hatred some have here about second -chance , yeah its a bit annoying but there always is going to be something annoying in a game.

The only problem i have with second chance is the falling invincibility. Its in my nature to shoot people when they are still alive and all those bullets going to waste as i shoot them in the falling animation. Not to mention time wasted! When i kill someone i wanna high-tail? it out of there as my position has been revealed. Not wait like 5 minutes for the guy to fall onto the ground THEN kill him.

Rarely do they actually kill me with a hand gun in second chance. The only time they even have a chance is if they fall into SC and move behind a wall to reload or something cause i just spent my whole mag shooting at a guy that was invincible! I just throw a tac grenade to kill him!

and move off somewhere else

Dues Bellator · 09-01-2011 05:37PM

i used it at the start for about a day , but found that when i got shot id end up with my back to the enemy , pain in the butt cheek perk if you ask me, it does my head it getting shot by them now, im like wtf you only just dropped , why are you not facing away from me:mad:

How about just take away the ability of the Final Stander to ADS? That would solve it.

Snake Plisken · 10-01-2011 06:47PM

actually coming around to not liking it again just prestiged for third time and got killed a couple of times by second chance lads, I'll do the challanges on it to get to pro but will drop it again.

Also another thing that is actually upsetting me more is the resurgance of Noob tubes I was in a couple of games last night where you couldn't spawn for a second without getting noobtubed, not that should have been dropped fully from the game

Firstly, think the abuse you got was unfair and cretinous. Very uncalled for and I appreciate people not resort to that type of crap in future.

Secondly, I have no problem with people doing that ie: using it to complete a challenge. Despite my insane rants on commando in MW2, I used it to unlock the pro perk. In saying that in 6 prestiges(El Nino Profile), I only got to 7 kills before stopping. I needed to wash the stench of disgracing myself using that perk :pac: Personally, I won't use 2nd chance. Never will.

Oh and something I forgot to add, it's bloody annoying on Hardcore modes.
