Post: Why don't YOU use the Strela?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Strela. The Stinger of Black Ops.

Shoots down killstreaks easily and very fast. If you have it and use it properly, you will most likely win.

I suspect 90% of you don't use it, according to another thread asking for people's classes; you don't. I barely see people in game with it.

Yea, it replaces the pistol. So what? I use the AK47 with Ghost (so no Scavenger), I got the worst aim ever due to my lag, and I still manage to have enough bullets for a Chopper Gunner.

What do Perks have to do with Secondaries?

**Well, the secondaries don't replace the primaries like in MW2. Hence, you don't need them unless you run out of bullets, which you won't (unless your aim is like, 1/30 bullets hit)

The only possible exceptions I can think of are:

1) You want to have fun and use Ballistic Knife
2) You are using a Sniper Rifle
3)You are using an LMG without SOH (ie: You're out of your mind)


Please enlighten me as to how an auto CZ75 puts you in any advantage vs someone with a FAMAS or AK74u.



PS: Please don't say "I use it for CQC when I need to reload I switch to my secondary". If I don't need it, no one does. I run and gun like hell.

PSS: Don't say "Because people in BO are not good teammates." I'm not asking why you think others don't use it, I'm asking the ones that don't use it why they don't use it.

The thing unlocks late so not many people use it. I use it but not a lot plus a LAW with scavenger pro is better then the Strela.

I dont see the problem with using a pistol, i personally use the ballistic knife but because i dont use lethal killstreak rewards most of the time i usually just put SAM turret on... just put it down and you dont have to think about it the rest of the game.

I use it on ALL my classes, if i use Scavenger Pro and SoH Pro then i see no reason to have another gun. Even if i hear "Enemy Spy Plane above" I whip that shit and BOOM!! And there's nothing more fun than shooting down someones hard earned killstreak before they even get a kill with it :evil: I'm in it for the win, so any killstreak that can be shot down, will be shot down.

Trust me, its worth it. You'll have a :carling: time every time you shoot down a Gunship.... It does piss me off sometimes too, but the question is "how is a pistol any better?"

Yea but you'd be helping your te...oh nvm, it's COD.

It's actually really effective. When I got a chopper gunner, I was shot down in less than 8 seconds of shooting time. But for GB's and fast paced matches some people prefer the pistol instead of reloading.


The only reasonable excuse other than the ones I gave. Not using it in GB makes a lot of sense. IMO, the "I'm reloading and need to switch" excuse is applicable there. Thanks, didn't think of that.

As long as you shoot it down, I have no problem. Excluding shooting it like an idiot with a FAMAS though, /facepalm

What should I say...story of my life except I use Ghost Pro instead of Scavenger. It's just such a nice :carling: moment when you shoot down anything as soon as you can.
