Post: Stingers/Javelins - Why they ruin Call of Duty
06-22-2010, 06:29 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Lately I have been playing some good sessions of MW2 (especially Ground War) and have been getting many killstreaks with good tactics and some awesome shots.

But what has bugged me more than anything? Every single thing getting blown down. I work hard to get harriers and they get blown up right away. And after getting my 11th kill and calling in my chopper gunner, it gets blown up almost instantaniously.

Why have Infinity Ward allowed this into the game of Modern Warfare 2. By making the game more balanced for everyone, they have ruined the experience for the hardcore players.

We work HARD to get killstreaks and it's just wonderful getting blown up right away to add nothing to our kills.

I work hard to get 11 kills and with 11 kills, you deserve an AC-130 or chopper and should get a fair few kills. Am I right? Wrong. Do they expect me to be able to take down the n00bs blowing up my stuff every time? I love how one flare on the chopper gunner is just useless and it isn't fair to me or to others in this situation.

Think about it, would an AC-130 carry only 2 flares?

In conlusion, please make a way to stop this culture, because right now it's starting to frustrate me with little reward for a killstreak and I might as well play a different game altogether.

Killstreak 1: Precision Airstrike (Can't be shot down and can bring average of 3 kills)

Killstreak 2: Stealth Bomber (Again, cant be shot down and can take out a whole team, your playing ground war right? That could be 9 kills in a matter of seconds)

Killstreak 3: EMP (Most people dont use this cause it doesnt bring kills, but in actual fact it can put the enemy right on the back foot, and when used at the right time can win the game for your team)

Simple.


The only problem is that some people aren't team people, and don't really care if their team wins or not. They're just in it for the kills.

I hate it when ppl complain about this stuff YOU GOT 11 kills be quiet about your friggin killstreaks its ppl like you why I carry around a stinger class. I get 11 kills im happy I don't even try to get high killstreaks unless its a tact nuke in which case my next highest is usually a pred. I run with cp, pred, pave low usually and I still go on 20-30 killstreaks. I don't care if my stuff gets blown up I hate when people rely on killstreaks to get kills stop camping(not saying your a camper at all mate but you know... im sure since you say your a hardcore player... and I do believe that) its just im sick of killstreaks imo they ruin the game not the stuff that takes them out... to spawn kill like a mofo with all of them is too easy and thats not playing the game thats being bored raping noobs... which gets old fast... which is why I can't wait for barebones on ps3. But forreal man just straight up get your own kills and I know you do to get too that choppa gunna cause harriers don't last anymore but you will feel better when you say im on a 30 killstreak and im not even using a choppa gunna just this weak killstreaks trust me. Peace

Haxor!
Ok let me give an example:
You get your first 7 kills and get your harrier.
Some guy with a stinger shoots it out of the air.
You struggle to make another 4 kills, you get you chopper gunner.
You open up your laptop and get in the chopper gunner view and guess what, it got blown up.
now you need to get another 14 kills for your tactical nuke with no other killstreaks, GL.

Stingers did not ruin this game, extended killstreaks did.
I wouldn't say it is ruined but it was fundemently changed by extended killstreaks.
Whatever team play incentive there was in the COD series before this ( I agree there was not much ) was completely destroyed by 7,11,25.
No one cares about winning now, if it could jeprodize their KDR or chance at a nuke to win.
I wish the new barebone modes included HC HQ.
Love that mode.
Still like this game, just wish there was more incentive to promote team based play.

NO people should be able to shoot down air support and thats not overpowered, the damn stinger is NOT used to kill anybody. So wow had to get 7 kills and its all ruined, go get some more than!

And about an "anti cold-blooded" wtf dude you want a tampon? One thats stupid as that would be a 2x counter perk, its originally supposed to counter air support but then having another perk to counter that(AND IN THE SAME TIER?*you call it red*) would ruin the entire point.


Let me guess

Your one of the noobs that can only get xp by shooting down air support not by killing anyone!.


Shooting down killstreaks takes no skill what so ever. To reward a player xp because they look up in the air wait for a beep then fires is disgraceful. It's almost as bad as rewarding a player for dying a certain amount of times in a row(deathstreaks).

Yes cold blooded should have a a counter, about everything else does

EDIT - The stinger is overpowered by having two rounds.

9 x 10 the person who shoots down air support is the person who has less than five kills and more deaths than i can count. By giving them the amount of XP that they have gained during the whole game is just bullshit. At least make taking down air support take a little bit of skill!.

Im okay with people taking down killstreaks, hell i would take them down as soon as possible.

I just think they are to easy to take down. There should be some sort of skill involved in taking them down.

Killstreaks - Why they ruin the game

Dude every1 camps to get an AC-130 or other killstreaks, thank god they put in stinger. Each time I hear ennemy Harrier or chopper I switch my class to my killstreak demolisher class and kill them as fast as I can. I usually play team tac with my friend and he never uses Cold-Blooded cuz he know the second the killstreak is stable, it will be destroyed by me. I admit sometimes nobody helps destroying them, but once I got into a game of demolition and we were 4 trying to blow down the ennemys killstreak.

the stingers and the javelin missiles are necessary to counteract with the o so over powered kill streaks simple enough
