Post: Why don't YOU use the Strela?

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.

Also the XP gain is pretty good I don't see why people can't shoot it down. A spy plane gets you an easy +150XP while a gunship takedown gives you +500XP

Ghost Pro does


to get ghost pro i need to shoot down killstreaks, ghost isn't like cold-blooded were air support wouldn't shoot me. with the exception of uav and counter uav you will die trying to shoot down air support.

Sorry, but this is irrelevant. How does shooting down Chopper Gunners prevent you from getting them yourself?

Let me explain.

So we know:

Kills+Objective= Helping team
Shooting down killstreaks= Helping team

Why,then, wouldn't this be true?:

Kills+Objective+Shooting down killstreaks= Helping team a lot

Based on what? Negative KD?

I don't see your logic. I much prefer a teammate with negative KD that shoots down killstreaks than a teammate with a 1 KD that doesn't.

Of course, a guy with 20 KD is better, but the least a guy with negative KD can do is shoot down killstreaks. And I say least because it's very easy yet useful.

Luck I guess... most of the time I don't die when trying to destroy them. (Don't say its because of Ghost Pro, I just got it yesterday...took me forever to find a sentry gun, even with Hacker)

I have a strella on all of my classes that dont have ghost. My assault rifle classes are primarily used for racking up killstreaks and if you have dual mags on it, you should easily have enough to get am 11 killstreak so i never use scavenger. Then i use sub machines for rushing and playing objective

I love shooting killstreaks down. People camp for half the game, only for me to shoot it down within a few seconds.

This one guy in demo must of been pissed because I took out his 2 chopper gunners before they could get a kill.

Cake is a lie
@GRP Spartan, I hope you didn't make this thread to tell everybody who doesn't say "all hail Strela" is wrong...

For me personally, I wuld much rather have teammates with good KD who doesn't shoot things down over a teammate with negative KD who shoots everything down. For two specific reasons. 1.) I have Ghost Pro so airborne killstreaks really don't affect me at all. 2.) People with negative KD are usually the guys giving up all the enemy killstreaks to begin with....

Besides I've had plenty of times were enemy team has Spy Planes and Helicopters back constantly. So it's like **** it, i'll use Ghost Pro and cap flags and kill...u copy?

And based on ur logic, I should use Spy Plane, Turrent and Blackbird so I can be the ultimate teammate yay!!!

There is nothin wrong with being the Strela guy who kills and shoots things down and there is nothing wrong with the guy who can shoot down a Gunship but can't shoot an actual person. And there is certainly nothing wrong with the guy getting his teammates BlackBirds,getting Dogs and beasting the opposition.... Every team needs those type of guys.

But needless to say the better your teammates are, the less likely the enemy team is going to get all these killstreaks.

Believe me, I've seen split screen parties go a combined 4-60 on my team.

So I think people who are that bad hurt the team no matter how many Chopper Gunners they shoot down.

Ghost Pro is easy. The hardest thing is knifing a Sentry gun cuz it takes sometime.

Shoot down 30 Spy Planes.

It's worth getting and then no more Killstreaks taking you out
