I hereby rebuke all the deathstreaks from ever returning to future call of duty's in the name of consumer requests and all that is multiplayer related! To the land of the "deleted" I sent thee! For a rightous multiplayer will be arriving shortly, if infinity ward refuses to contribute to such glory then someone else will resulting in IW's demise from fame and credibility!

You're point? Most vets got their ass handed to them and guess what? Back then there was no such thing as the "NRLBA ." We got better through practice.

I don't mind death streaks but and there is a but, they should not get a helping hand for a free kill. I like the painkiller, that right there is ok with me gets them moving a little quicker to make them try harder. I think if you are doing very good and are on a good streak it should not be taken away because the other player is foolishly running around and getting killed. I know they want to make the game easy to ease into but come on, why do you think they got rid of the martyrdom perk at least that is a start.

If they do plan on keeping them around modify them like so, all death streaks that work immediately upon spawn are safe no tweaking needed. The ones like DMH, martyrdom and so on, should be turned off upon them getting a kill. Sometimes you mess up but if you start getting a high kill streak and then are still able to use the supporting death streak, I think that is wrong. I would still rather it be removed, but at least if this modified death streak where put into action it would not be to bad. More players would like the painkiller etc as you would receive it upon spawning.

More and more new players get CoD. Death streaks are a way to help the new people.

The only one that should be removed is Dead Man's Hand. The others would be fine with just some small tweaking, final stand should either have you bleed out or you pull out a secondary and if you're holding akimbo you only get one. Getting panic knifed all the time by people falling into last stand is stupid and even better than that is getting hip fired by a sniper rifle...

that post makes you sound stupid because clearly it is harder to get a 12 killstreak then it is a 5 death streak

Exactly my point the death streaks should be a thing that support specific roles on the field, and help players to eventually get to a level where they no longer need them.

Deathstreaks

are good for underdogs!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:32:01 GMT

The only deathstreak I have a problem with is Dead Man's Hand. If they made DMH as powerful as a regular C4 and not as strong as the Javelin Glitch, it would be fine.

Yes, helping noobs to play as pros is good. I wont blame juiced and hollow points for being in the game, but when you have final stand and dmh who the **** is going to want to move faster for a few seconds or have stopping power for one kill?

the most used deathstreaks are the ones that dont help the player be better at all whatsoever. they only allow for an easy kill with almost zero skill. And thats why the deathstreaks are bs in mw3.

I 100% agree with you. There should NOT be any kind of reward given to players who cannot play gets kills without having to pull out a c4 that kills everything in a 15 foot blast radius. Deathstreaks in no way help anyone on the game. They do not make a player better. They do not decide the outcome of matchs. The only thing deathsteaks are in the game for is to punish strong players and reward players who are terrible. We all know Robert Bolling and th rest of the gang at IW/SH have not listened to the community and could really careless about the cod community. On the other hand we have David Vondhaar asking/chatting the CoD community via twitter about how he can make the next CoD the best one yet. I sure hope 3arc puts IW where they belong.... out of business.

Personally, I have hollow points set for my deathstreak as I think it's the least BS of them all. However I agree completely. You shouldn't be rewarded for playing bad ESPECIALLY when there are support streaks that will reward you for capping and such even if you die. I've said before I would much prefer a system of escalating verbal abuse we'll call "motivation streaks" instead. The motivation would simply roll accross your screen in plain text. Starting at:

3 deaths It could say - Come on get a kill

4 - you die too much

5 - nooooob

6 - You are terrible

Etc escalating in verbage thae bigger the death streak untill finally and I just thought of this, you get auto kicked at 25 straight deaths. It's the reverse nuke. I think everyone can agree that you're not helping your team at 25 straight deaths.

I have the feeling people write these threads after losing out on their AC 130, Juggernaut, etc. from someone using a deathstreak.

Deathstreaks really aren't overpowered at all. Final stand is a joke, there's a delay on when the final stander can aim and the timing of the +50 or +100 should always tell you when they've actually died, and you should easily be able to move your sights down.

Martyrdom is a joke, if you die from it you're not paying attention, DMH is a little better but as I've said a 6 deathstreak is ridiculous, hardly anyone ever hits them, hardly anyone uses it.

I would be open to balancing them, like perhaps having pump and lever shotties or perhaps snipers not put people into final stand, but I don't think it's a bad concept.

Personally I don't mind deathstreaks in game. Don't really have a problem with it. Just confused about some of em.

1. last stand: not my favorite you're supposed to be in last stand bleeding out and crippled why does it take another 3 shots to kill. it's like killing em twice. Ability to move as quickly as an uninjured player proned doesn't make sense. Last the accuracy of your weapon and how quickly you can raise your gun to sights and aim in this position. It basically only hinders you from running and you're stuck proned but can still move.

2. Revenge: Most lobbies play with killcams. You already know the general spot they are. Do you really need to know exactly where they are. If they are camping, you pretty much already know. More often than not the person using it will get killed on there way to that guy.

3: deadman's hand: Wouldn't have a problem with it, if the blast radius wasn't ridiculous. It seems to me, it has the blast radius of a predator missile, if not larger. With damage being at max for the full radius. It's either you get hit and die or you are far enough away it doesn't hit you at all. doesn't seem to be an inbetween.

I can also see the side of taking deathstreaks out, though. Since support package offers options for getting kills: like airdrop trap, mini turret, stealth bomber, escort airdrop.

I know some players have a hard time getting any kills so I don't mind letting them be helped out. Sometimes just getting that 1 kill gives confidence and helps them get back into the game.

Personally I like killstreak rewards, though I don't think they should be able to chain to another reward.
