(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I personally dont think that much of these? Everybodies always raving about getting a MOAB or how many MOAB's have you had? I bought the game when it came out and im 12th Prestige and I can onestly say ive had 1 MOAB, I play to a KDR of 1.96 so an average player.

I understand it requires some skill to get one but to me all the hype about them makes them overated? just my opinion

To add my own spin to it, M.O.A.B's are stupid it promotes camping, personally I get bored after .3 seconds in the same spot I set myself up for MOAB failure because I always walk right past a camper and get shot in the back.


A silly way to put it, you could say all killstreaks in general promote camping, for those predator missiles, reapers, anything. I never stay in the same spot for more than a second unless I'm shooting at people and back when I played I could get a MOAB if not multiple ones on a daily basis playing a few games of solo TDM/KC. Agreed on the first part though, it's ridiculous sometimes how I check the scoreboard and I'm like 18-5 and look down and see this guy 5-0 camping his nuts off, then again playing solo 99% of the time I've learned to never rely on randoms for well, anything.

Which is why I always play the objective.

This is my point of view, of course. =)


Yh can be good measure if you check each individual weapon accuracy but it depends on the attachment you use too. The guy camping hard with an assault rifle and a red dot that is ads for the guy coming round the corner can't really be compared to the guy running around the map with a P90.

I think accolades can be a good indicator of player skill! It also indicates the type of player, like longest distance traveled, most time spent sprinting, most time in one place. You can compare against each other. He's a run and gunner yet he is top of the MVP list, shit like that!

10.40 W/L 183 Streak Happy

almost 2000 games =D

MOABs are not overrated to me. I have somewhere over 20, don't keep track because when I started to get more n more I didn't keep up. I get mine in Kill confirmed where the objective is to kill, get tags, and die minimal amounts of times. Being a player that enjoys gun on gun and rushing, testing my skills to see if I can get 24 straight gun kills is extremely rewarding. You don't always get it but you feel good when you do. Especially in this game where there are so many BS ways to die. W/L is dependant on who you play with, K/D means nothing to me if you camp or headglitch all day or play infected.

W/L is about your team and only your team, 1 guy isnt shit if your team mates run around like diers.
