This is a thread to state the three ways you hate dying in Black Ops. But I don't mean the most common ways necessarily but the ways when you die by them you are like wtf or you just lol. For instance if you hate dying by Flamethrower since chances are you aren't killed by flamethrowers very often.
3. RC Car....I believe if you are 2nd Prestige or higher you shouldn't be using the RC Car anymore ESPECIALLY with Hardline. There is no way you are past 2nd Prestige and your K/D is higher than 1 if you're still rocking RC Car. I don't die by these that often but when I do and look at the guys score I punch a kitten.
2. Crossbow...Haha, if you are using this, you are definitely playing for fun. It takes like 1.5 seconds to aim, and then 3 seconds to explode. This along with Tomahawk is more times than not just for fun. When I look in the killcam and see I was killed by this, I just lol and expect that the user is terrible. Sorry to my pro Crossbow users.
1. Shotgun/Sniper Rifle on most maps....Treyarc nerfed the shit out of Shotguns and honestly unless you're on Nuketown you're asking for it using a damn shotgun. So if I see I was killed by an Olympia in the killcam I just say, "well played sir" because using a shotgun is suicide in this game.
Snipers were killed by Treyarc and it's sad. There are numerous times where I picked off a sniper with my Assault Rifle or even the MPL a few times. Much props to those snipers trying to keep sniping alive but it's a losing battle for most people. And if you're trying to Quick Scope, well LMAO...The maps are just too small and it's a shame. And even on bigger maps like Array, there are only like 3 sniper spots and they are well known. So 2-3 kills and you're dead.
Quick Disclaimer about Ghost since I know some may say Ghost.
1.) I run Hardline Pro normally, but the minute I see the enemy has Spy Plane the entire game I'm switching to Ghost. NOT to camp but to use Spy Plane against them. I know that if the enemy will keep having Spy Plane up the entire ****ing game, I can use that against them. That means the entire game they'll be relying solely on red dots while I pop up and kill them.
It's like my point earlier about campers. People probably do camp with Ghost. However I'm sure an as likely scenario is you have a spy plane up, you see these red dots then all of a sudden BAM some dude runs in your spawn and kills you. But why talk about getting outplayed by a Ghost Rusher when you can complain by acting like only Ghost Campers hiding in rooms exist. So Ghost Pro gets me lots of kills when I use it because people, especially noobs put 100% of their faith into that Spy Plane that they got from a measley 2-3 kills, so I use that against them. Especially if I'm spawn trapped.
2.) Blackbird is like a Spy Plane on steroids and you have to earn it, and it all but guarantees you Chopper, Dogs, Gunship assuming you don't just run Spy Plane, Care Package, Mortar.
3.) They are super easy to obtain...2 KILLS with Hardline, two kills isn't shit. Besides every time you Prestige the first Killstreak you have til at least lvl 10 is Spy Plane.
4.)I'll dispute the "In other COD games you had Stopping Power as an option" Well in MW2 there were quite a few Danger Close users too but I digress. In MW2 people didn't use UAV half as much as on Black Ops so Cold Blooded wasn't as necessary as far as UAV goes. On every team there are at least 3-4 people running Spy Plane on Black Ops. I've played games where the entire game I heard "enemy spy plane above"...Especially if the guy sucks and keeps dying after every 2-3 kills...He'll have Spy Plane all damn game.
5.) People can camp with ANY perk. So for every guy that uses Ghost to hide in corners all game, there is a guy like me who uses Ghost to rush the enemy all game without worrying about Spy Planes and Air Support killing me all game, so this perk can help you rush the enemy more than helping you camp. But if they ran higher killstreaks like Blackbird, Chopper, Dogs, or Care Package, Mortar, Rolling Thunder Ghost wouldn't be a problem at all.

Also not sure if this is true or not but seems like a lot more Xbox users complain about people using Ghost but on PS3 in Ground War out of 9 people I'd say 2 use Ghost when I play. And usually they don't have the Pro version because my Chopper Gunner sees them easily.
I don't play Hardcore modes because it's boring, slow and that's where the real camping happens, so I can imagine people use Ghost in those modes even more.
