(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Honestly I hate getting spammed and killed by the Lightning Strike constantly in every game, even if i'm in a building or I just spawned. Every game I get spammed by this shit as noobs just camp and head glitch all the time. Also with that being said the lag/hit detection playing a part the Lighting Strike is announced after its hit.

There is no counter to it and its more powerful then a Sentry Gun so I think it should be placed after the Sentry Gun and war machine.

I think lightning strike should be passed the sentry because its almost similar as the precision airstrike from mw2/mw3 and that was higher then the sentry gun. Also the sentryies and guardians are easily taken out with pda, the lightning strike can only be countered with emp

Lightning Strike:

Stealthly, don't know where its going to hit
Announced late
Sometimes you can get killed when in the building.
Trophy system doesn't help.
Can't be shot down.
If used properly can you triples.multis.

Now heres the sentry counters:

Counters:

PDA
Engineer
Appears as a minimap icon when firing
Smoke Grenade
Emp grenade
Emp Scorestreak
Or just shoot it.

Also I think that the Death Machine should be before the Hellstorm as honestly its not even worth getting.

In my opinion the death machine has many flaws. The first being that it has a delay when you hit the shoot trigger. Second being that it limits your mobility whether thats running or swinging/turning to kill a enemy. Next, as soon as you shoot with a death machine you appear as a red dot and 90% of the time you get killed straight after getting 1/2 kills. Lastly due to the lag alot of the bullets go to waste as they don't register. Also with this streak your forced to use fast hands as its slow when taking it out.

Lastly I think that the VTOL should be before the Lodester.

Look good. Backed-up with good logical reasoning.
The Lightning Strike is by far the most annoyingly overpowered Score Streak. It's ridiculous.

BO

exactly, if you look at the past COD games airstrikes were a higher killstreak then senty guns.

MW2/MW3 Sentry at 5, Precision Airstrike at 6
BO1 - Sentry at 6, Mortar Team at 6 (however was after the sentry)

Yet the mortar team in BO1 wasn't even that strong

yeah i agree it would be nice if we knew a lighting strike was coming so we can at least try to dodge it ..not after the fact

Yea u have good reasons bro

treyarch needs to fix this, the way the scorestreaks should have been setup is from the weakest to the strongest and the lightning strike is defo stronger then the sentry, death machine and war machine.

I definitely agree with the Lightning strike and VTOL. The VTOL is just wayyyyy too easy to shoot down even if you keep it moving around the map. I can easily get more kills with the Lodestar and than I can with the VTOL.

You forgot a few things about the sentry. This is the first game where the sentry isn't comming from a care package you can deploy it directly. The bullet penetration from the sentrys is very high and they keep shooting on you for 1-3 seconds even if he can't see you anymore which makes the sentry a lot better then the previous call of dutys. But you're right about the lightning strike sometimes go through walls.

Love how you attached "noobs camping/headglitching" to what you don't like to make your point really hit home. Classic way to strengthen your argument with a Straw Man.

That being said the best thing would be announced the strike coming BEFORE it arrives. They don't need ro raise the score requirement. Just make it so people are alerted right when the enemy pulls out the laptop.

Most bad players can't get them that often anyway so it's not THAT bad. It is in my top 3 most used streaks. It's effective mostly because it alerts late and because bad players love bunching up. Your solution of making them more points doesn't fix what you don't like about it. I rarely see bad players get Lightning Strikes enough for it to be a problem. Especially compared to a Hunter Killer. Sentry Guns have more counters but a well position Sentry gets 6+ kills. Lightning only gets that in rare scenarios.

They added like a 750ms delay but that doesn't help since people aren't alerted til it's dropping.

VTOL Warship is only 100 points difference anyway so even though it is better the amount of points is nothing Lodestar is as good as K9. Making it a little tougher to take down would help more. It's not really hard to get but it's so easy to take down. I think 1 rpg can do it.

I'd either Warthog or maybe remove it really since it sucks.

VTOL needs more armour vs a FMJ LMG = it super easy to take down if you get under the thing.
Rest of the changes I agree with.
