vigorm0rtisPosted 11/18/2012 12:23:40 PM | I've never seen a genuinely good player use Ghost. I mean, I used it, but people play and do well without it. Give it a try for a while until you unlock it. It's not a big deal.

LeQuack147Posted 11/18/2012 12:34:33 PM | Not sure I agree. Between the AA launcher and Black Hat PDA's, I can down 4 UAV's in a single life (and since I run them on my more cautious class, I don't have the enemy spawning around me while I try to take it down). Also, generally speaking, when I eliminated the first couple UAV's I saw ASAP, I was less likely to see more later. That momentum that the other team has is gone. Hell, a couple times, I got my own UAV by downing enemy ones, which was often downed in return if the enemy team was actually trying. I don't think "shoot it down" is the BEST counter to the UAV, but I think it's a better counter than it was in MW3, and that's a definite step forward.

ManInBlack_77Posted 11/18/2012 12:36:33 PM | I used my first prestige token to get Ghost but I still am paranoid about getting caught most of the time. How long do I have to be stationary for it to show me? Can I duck into cover for a second to reload or do I need to keep moving? Trying to out maneuver the enemy and flank someone in a fortified position is a fundamental part of combat, video game or otherwise. Making it nigh-impossible to not have your position broadcast is stupid.
They finally caved to all the whining crying babies and not only gimped Ghost but also put it as the last thing to unlock because of all the boo-hooing from people who couldn't stand to play a FPS if there wasn't a radar to give them the exact location of every player on the map at all times.
Everyone whined and cried about "Ghost campers in corners". Well guess what, they STILL camp in the corners! Campers camp. That's what they do. There could be an orbital VSAT up 100% of the time they would still do it. Some people camp, most don't, and no one on either side will change their playstyle based on available equipment or perks. I've seen people argue that stacked killstreaks promote camping, I've seen peopnle argue that non-stacked killstreaks promote camping, I've seen people argue that Ghost promotes camping, and now I've seen people argue that not having Ghost promotes camping.
CAMPING CAMPING CAMPING! Everyone always trying to find a way to stop camping! YOU CAN'T YOU STUPID #&&$T#*$%#%#^%$*#%^^!!!!!!!!!! It's like trying to find a way to stop people from driving slowly in the fast lane. Without a real person policing every individual involved constantly it is GOING to happen. It HAS happened in EVERY freaking FPS EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!!! ACCEPT IT, DEAL WITH IT, AND GET THE F*** OVER IT!!!!!!
What happened? Did I Hulk out again? What were we talking about?

Jesus2pointOPosted 11/18/2012 12:56:45 PM | Not to start an argument but UAV id ballanced ie both team have access. And second i know you can only control yourself but the idea is to create a balanced team with friends to overcome any situation ie 1 with uav, 1 with counter. But if u dont got friends u gotta hope for the best or create a support loadout to boost ur team for wins. |

chessmyantidrugPosted 11/18/2012 1:01:50 PM | You can have Ghost at level 4 after you prestige. Even ignoring that fact, I don't understand why people are complaining about the UAV. In COD4, everyone had UAV from the start. There was no counter until you unlocked UAV Jammer. You couldn't shoot it down until MW2. You didn't have a counter in that game until you unlocked Cold Blooded. The big complaint with Black Ops was Ghost made the UAV unusable.
If it's not one thing, it's the other.
There's nothing "broken" about the UAV/Ghost balance. |
