It is the worst thing in COD since Noob Tubes. It "rewards" you regardless of how bad you are. I understand that COD has millions of new players every year and every player isn't going to get high killstreaks but Support was essentially like Welfare but worse. Assault killstreaks were easy to get whether you rush, camp, play defensive or not. With Hardline Pro ypu could get an 8 killstreak Reaper by maybe 3 kills, two flag caps and easily 4 assists. Shooting down air support, assists, flag caps all helped towards killstreaks yet people STULL use Support even to this day. Assault in MW3 was easier than any COD yet bad players still use Support. Simply put Support was meant to reward bad players and give them something regardless if what they do. It would be like Madden giving you the option to let CPU kick field goals online.
They even made it less about pure killing which makes Support even more terrible. I have gotten 12 points fron only two actual gun kills so I am not against the point system. However as easy as Assualt is to get, only a bad, lazy or guy trying to do challengees would use Support. Using Support to compliment Assault and Specialist players seemed cool but in reality Support was made for noobs. And to me a guy who'd complain about an MP7 yet proudly call in an EMP at 18-40 is a walking disgrace to COD
Bad players deserve nothing more than RC Cars, UAV, Care Package and Sam Turrents. If someone couldn't get a 4 POINT not kill but point Predator Missile on MW3 then that says a lot. Guys could run around spraying a Striker till they hit somebody, go 11-25 and STILL get Stealth Bomber multi kills or EMPs from shooting down air support all game. It made me vote tdm in Ground War often because bad players didn't have as much time to "earn" the points needed.
Most guys who use Support go negative or barely positive. For every beast Support player there is 10 guys going negative who still get game changing killstreaks.
