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.

To be honest there are loads of problems with this game , just have to hope they understand in Call of Duty Black Ops.

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.

I wouldn't say the have ruined the game either.

I just think they are slightly overpowered and give noobs easy XP


I agree with the skill bit though that makes more sense like having to shoot the pilot or something to take it out easy and maybe idk like either 1 less stinger round or maybe more hits with it per killstreak like the pavelow taking 2 hits plus some shots and the ac130/chopper gunner taking 3 full stinger hits to take down or at least a full lmg clip and 2 stinger rounds. And the javalin is too overpowered all the way around I agree with that. But I also say killstreaks themselves are too overpowered too easy to get spawn kills... and everyone knows that doesn't take skill/however it is fun/ but still.

Yeah i would of said they are overpowered but easy avoided.

Chopper gunner is more or less useless now since the nerf (without dangerclose pro). I would like to see the stinger to have only one round i think it would balance things out more.

The AC-130 is up for half a minute. If they shoot you down, they were pretty damn determined. They would need to shoot at it three times. That's VERY hard to do in 30 seconds unless you have scavenger on, or die instantly. The chopper gunner deserves to be shot down quick, that thing is so cheap on maps like wasteland. But even so you have 1 flare on that too, so you can still get a few kills (assuming that only 1 person is shooting at you). I find it okay that they put the stinger/javelin in the game. If a person wants to waste their secondary on something that only has an effect on helicopters and such, let them.

Well maybe you dont deserve that kill streak. Its what your suppose to do. That's why there's a Stinger/Javelin in multplayer.

There are worse things then this. What are you going to do about it? Are you gonna ask the other team not to do it? That's why they put those weapons in the game.

I shoot EVERYTHING but UAV's down from the sky. I hate you killstreaks.

I am also frequently at the top of the scoreboard when I do it, pop out my claymore and kill myself just to have the satisfying feeling that you took that pavelow out before it got 1 kill Happy
