Stealth bomber shouldn't be a support killstreaks. That and emp should only last 30 secs.

Wrecks my head

"enemy osprey gunner inbound!"

no osprey for you good sir!

Touché sir touché

True that stealth bomber shouldnt be support, EMP for a minute is fine i think, was only ever used in mw2 if someone got in a care package but now theres inscentive to try get one.

The attitue of the support killstreak rewarding bad players is stupid to say imo. For the most part it rewards the whole time bar the stealth bomber even at that it kind of helps teams. If im using support i use any combo of uav-sam turret-ballistic vests-advanced uav, great for getting xp the support streak.

i rather some one on my team rocking support then assault tbh, i split it 50/50 myself

senordingdong · 02-01-2012 11:02PM

EMP is easily the best when it's used properly.

agree, it rewards the people who bother their arse taking out enemy support and equipment not kill whoring and sitting in corners camping. the stealth bomber is only really effective on a few maps anyway you hear it coming for ages and the maps are so built up its easy to find cover most times. anyone know if the emp knocks out the bomber? never called one one in at the time. love using on if an enemy strafe run is called, all that chopper takedown xp

I see how many choppers I can take out with one stinger missile with strafe runs, aim for the middle chopper and you can usually get 3 or 4.

Simply Red · 02-01-2012 11:57PM

I love emp in this game, use it on every class that i have support on. Wish you could hear the other players mic like when you kill them when you shoot down their air support, would be funny to hear them rage after having their strafe run or osprey gunner emp'd :pac:

Because that is in any way relevant to the using killstreaks/support streaks.

Support streaks are a ridiculously stupid idea, they somehow managed to make cod publics even more catered towards worse players.

Thomasheen · 03-01-2012 01:09AM

I agree with the point streak system, I dont agree with the support streaks.

mufcboy1999 · 03-01-2012 01:26AM

has there ever been a cod game thats got this much negative feedback? I know IW have made there money as does any cod they could pretty much sell you a blank disc:D

but honestly will this go down as the worst cod of the lot?

bad maps
re spawning
broken/sh*t elite (its stupid nothing like what we taught it would be like)
killstreaks (dying and assists etc all counting)
hectic to play
lack of barebone options (who wants to have to wait every 3rd game for tdm)
not being able to vote random on map choices
no cod points like blops where you had to buy stuff for guns
prestige is a joke again (whats the point? you get nothing)
no dolphin dive (how is it not realistic? like not being able to is lol.
just not fun to play
match making
lack of just life in theater mode

etc etc i could go on all day

worst cod of all time?

depends on what your opinion of "worse" players are, I rarely get massive kill amounts, but I do play the objective and help the team. I'd rather a team of people who go 0-15 kills and shoot down every bit of support and go for plants and defuses to win a match that the l33t guys who go 60-5 and do absolutely **** all to help the team other than killwhore for their own stats.

most of the support streaks are exactly that, support. only 5 of the 12 support streaks are lethal:

boobytrap package
remote sentry
stealth bomber
juggernaut
escort airdrop

and only two of those, the sentry and juggernaut are something the player has control over, none particularly devastating. the juggernaut you can rack up a few kills with already but its more of a distraction than anything, the sentry is taken out with one knife swipe, the escort airdrop is downed with 2-3 stingers before it even gets to the drop points.

Cod 'Objective' modes come down to about 90% kills, 10% objective. Like it or not the guy going 60-5 is doing a lot more for his team than the guy going 0-15. Unless you're playing against absolute spastics you're not going to be able to actually do the objective without outkilling the enemy. You can't plant bombs in demo/score flags in ctf/take flags in domination without having a number of the opposition 'down'. This becomes even more important when you add respawn delay into the equation. That guy going 60-5 is making the opposition spawn away from the objective you're trying to take.

As for support pointstreaks, they are overpowered. You're guaranteed an emp for just playing the game for more than 3 minutes, compare that to it being a 15 (?) killstreak on mw2. With it being a 15 killstreaks, it seems fair because there is nothing you can do to counteract it. With it being a given for everyone using support pointstreaks its just crazy. The opposition has been heavily rewarded for doing nothing.

Introducing points to the 'streaks' is great, support streaks however was a bad idea.

Also stop making the assumption that people using killstreaks are automatically camping for their kds.

worst cod of all time?

the maps, spawning,matchmaking,less theatre mode options I'd agree with.

I prefer the loss of cod points, they were stupid, the mw3 system of levelling your gun by actually using the thing is much better.
Dolphin dive I dont really mind, I only used to use it to jump onto flags and down stairs when dicking around. :pac:
lack of option to be in anything other than Irish lobbies is annoying, I guess its for connection problems but Irish players are dicks for the most part, itd be nice not to play against the same people every other night.
Elite: blah, dont care about it, handy for checking a few things but I'm not arsed overall, and the issues at launch were a disgrace.
you do get stuff for prestiging though? you can use the token in the shop for double xp, an extra slot, weapon xp etc, its not much but hey. prestiging is all about getting out of your comfort zone and learning new guns and ways of playing again.

worst cod? nah, its solid but nothing particularly earth shattering, I think its more balanced than MW2, right now the only things that annoy me are assassin campers and akimbo fmg9's need a nerfing, but everything else has a counter now and the support streaks are good. Drop Zone is a fcuking hoot to play as well.

I really hope they take the map feedback on board, and for the love of god give us some maps with long sightlines instead of huge straight streets that you cant see 20 feet past you because of cars and trucks in the way. there's a handful of sweet sniper sight lines in a couple of maps but thats it.

I play solo most of the time... the amount of times i've won with nothing but "spastics" on my team and the other team completely outscoring the rest of my team on kills is well... most of the time. Like it or not, a lot of killwhores ignore the objective. saying that i certainly wouldn't take some1 who goes 0-15 but caps flags/shoots down airsupport (Its probably only up their because of him in the first place!) over a 60-5 player... i'd much rather some1 going 15-15 and capping flags like a boss than a 60-5 TDM player tho.

As for EMP's and support streaks... EMP's are great, killstreaks in general are an unnecessary nuisance anyway, so having a killstreak free zone is great. Support streaks are probably a bit overpowered tho, a team with 3 or 4 players using it can be a bit ridiculous at times with the amount of UAV's/Stealthbombers etc

I don't think they were a bad idea as it really does help with people camping... why camp when you could be out their building up your KS ! Should have made them a little harder to get.. maybe 1.5 times the points you need now or something.

krudler · 03-01-2012 03:17AM

I'd agree that it should take say 2 uav takedowns to get the same single point a kill gets you. I can stand on the edge of a map just blowing down uavs and attack choppers and get an osprey care drop out of it on a ground war domination game,something you'd see an absolute ton of support go up throughout the match. all it takes it time and lots of suiciding.

bad maps agree
re spawning agree
broken/sh*t elite (its stupid nothing like what we taught it would be like) agree
killstreaks (dying and assists etc all counting) somewhat agree
hectic to play COD is supposed to be hectic.
lack of barebone options (who wants to have to wait every 3rd game for tdm) minor issue
not being able to vote random on map choices and risk getting that New York map? no thanks
no cod points like blops where you had to buy stuff for guns cod points were awful
prestige is a joke again (whats the point? you get nothing) the point of prestiging is for... prestige, check the dictionary
no dolphin dive (how is it not realistic? like not being able to is lol. agree, i loved the dolphin
just not fun to play disagree
match making agree
lack of just life in theater mode i dont know what that means

etc etc i could go on all day

COD 3 has that title and will hold it forever imo.

krudler · 05-01-2012 01:50AM

so I unlocked akimbo fmg9s just to see how overpowered they are, and yeah, sweet jesus, the fmg on its own is a handy little secondary but the akimbo ones are ridiculous. I can see now why I get dropped so much by people a split second after I see them.

Shifty Shellshock · 05-01-2012 04:22AM

In fairness, at least MW3 is able to make us use secondary weapons. I'm always switching between the ACR suppressed and Akimbo FMG's. On these type of maps, you need the Akimbo.

Going around corners with cluttered buildings I use the Akimbo, and switch if it's a long open space to the ACR. I was a one gun pony in Black ops.

05-01-2012 04:59AM

Should be pistols only tbh

CORaven · 05-01-2012 08:49AM

MW2, over powered shotguns as secondaries were apparently too much,
MW3, give everyone SMGs instead.

gimli2112 · 05-01-2012 09:07AM

TBH the akimbo FM9's are not as bad as they were. Last month you could drop people at a serious distance. Definately noticed a drop off in the number of users as a result.

Oh but you'll still encounter the guy in a corner pointing at a door with them. Still very nasty up close.

Have the stinger on all my classes except one, which is rarely used. Run blindeye usually. Most likely to hear me say
"I've fookin run out of bullets again" :eek:

ugglasdav · 05-01-2012 12:37PM

some good news for possible updates @Brodizzleee Assassin (No nerf), Striker (possible nerf), FMG9 (probable nerf), mp9 (No), Type 95 (possible nerf), Shotguns (possible buff)

Good to see they might be nerfing the fmg9s and the Type 95 more which i think is needed, the striker does need a slight nerf and they are buffing the other shotguns in some way

05-01-2012 12:42PM

Anyone know the perk or whatever it is that allows you to walk past claymores without setting them off? Didnt even know one existed but was playing the other night and the same lad walked straight past a few of mine without them going off, kinda defeats the purpose of them really.

The Pro version of Stalker i think?

ugglasdav · 05-01-2012 01:43PM

Yea AGB i noticed that when first leveling up that Spas that the Grip actually decreases the accuracy rather than increasing it
