(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In the November Issue of Official Xbox Magazine it was confirmed that Hardline Pro allows you to try again when it comes down to Care Packages. When opening a Care Package it briefly states, "Hold X for Valkyrie OR Double Tap to Try Again". Most users saw this as only being useful if your using the Care Package killstreak.

That wasn't a care package you seen in the video showing evidence of Double Tap for Hardline Pro...

If you ever watched the full video he obtained Valkyrie Rockets as a killstreak which was unlocked at 7 kills (killstreaks do not stack, no arguing). The player marked the drop zone for the Valkyrie Rockets,
the rockets are delivered in Care Package w/ two rockets (more realistic feel).
^The Rockets are timed, if you notice the green bar to the right symbolizes fuel.
In my opinion this makes two rockets, balanced.

Back to my point,
Hardline Pro will not be used only for Care Packages but any killstreak that's dropped in, how exactly?
We don't know yet.

Listen to yourself, Treyarch is the developer that actually listens to the community.
There's a difference between taking suggestions, criticism, etc. and balancing the game.

Treyarch is great with coding but their gameplay has always suffered, I'm confident that Treyarch has got their act together, they seem pretty confident as well. Treyarch's studio is now completely dedicated to developing COD, all 250+ developers.
When W@W was developed their studio was developing three other games simultaneously.

Treyarch has reported they've put their best effort into balancing all aspects of the game, etc.

The chances of this happening are not that high at all.
I believe Treyarch made it so certain killstreaks could not be obtained via Care Package
...but don't quote me on it.

And,
Why remove it? It's an useful killstreak.

  • Can be stolen.
  • Can now be shot down.
  • Can be used as bait.
  • Can be used to set traps w/ Hacker.


So, you admit that they basically made a pro perk that helps you get something better from an already unbalanced killstreak? It's a useful killstreak for people who aren't very good at the game, but I suppose that's the precedent that MW2 has set for the COD franchise. You may be an advocate of Treyarch, but they're not flawless.

this sounds good but can be game breaking at the saame time if you have a second chance with the carepackage

nah should be a 7, in mw2 5 for a pred missile thats pretty much a guarenteed 1-8 kills its a joke.. pred missile cant be stopped

i think a care pack should be a 6 kill streak so its around 50/50 of other kill streaks a 4 kill streak an the only thing worse u can get from it is ammo or a uav?

second chance care package is a shitty idea imo, the care package killstreak should be dropped altogether.

i dont think i'd mind having people 'try again' with their care packages, its not like they can just have a different one. they have to go through the process of throwing the carepackage and waiting for it to come and worrying about the enimy coming and killing you and taking your car package.

remember with hardline you only need 3 kills with it and because there wont be stopping power/juggernaut alot of people will probably use it. Or maybe some smarter players will get ghost (cold blooded). But i think its better getting a random streak with a care package as having a dickhead who camps the whole game for dogs/gunship (11 kills). So actually those players who move will be rewarded for rushing. Also streaks wont stack to each other so the camping situation will end up worse.
