Personally? I don't think it's overpowered at all.
Firstly, it makes next to no difference in close-quarters combat as you mostly rely on what's visually in front of you at that precise moment. Secondly, it doesn't make a difference to Recon's effects so if you are going somewhere and want to see if there is someone in there using Assassin, throw in a flash/stun, sorted.
Plus, from my experience, almost EVERYONE uses Assassin, so that kind of levels the playing field, if everyone has it, no-one has an advantage.
As with all perks and guns/setups in CoD games, they all have their advantages but they can all be beaten one way or the other. The skill in CoD games is having classes and strategies to deal with any type of class/player/tactics you may come up against and being able to put the required plan of action into play quickly enough to win.
Cheers!

Honestly in this game they should of reduced bullet damage then add stopping power and assassin in the same tier, this why you'd actually be losing something unlike this game what you lose is a slower ads time.
no, people who use heartbeat sensors,emps and marksman are usually douchebags, portable radars as well, unless you're one of those people who just toss them down and move on, instead of camping around it the whole game
nothings really "overpowered", if a weapon/perk/whatever is overpowered, then use it, o wait, there won't be some big difference all of a sudden, if you're crap without it, you're still crap with it.

I feel it protects you from too many things, UAV's, Counter UAV's, EMP's, Portable Radar, and Heartbeat Senors -.- What other perk does that much??
I don't think it's overpowered cause even though it makes it so CUAV and EMPs not effect ur HUD u still cant call in UAV's nd see them on the mini-map plus EMPs still disable the ability to use killstreaks. Cold-blooded was OP since it did all that plus make it so killstreaks won't target you
maybe if people wouldn't spam with UAV's people wouldn't use it. People rely on UAV's way to much in this game. I use a stinger on every class so they just helping me achive my high killstreaks that I'm going to by shooting them down.

In my mind its not Assassin, its the UAV. I think if the UAV was bumped up to a 5 killstreak, more people would use some other perk because they wouldn't be getting UAV spammed as much. I use Assassin because without it I cant even spawn without having the whole enemy team know my position. I think for the next CoD the UAV should only pickup moving targets, and should sweep the radar at a slower rate, then have some sort of higher killstreak like a Advanced UAV.

I been saying this about the UAV being bumped up. I rather use hardline pro then assassin. But Assassin does help out when scrubs run support and EMP you.
