Based off what I see everyday and what my friends on PSN say in their comments, I am pretty sure that Ghost is abused and is rarely used how it was intended to be. Even that one experienced player using Ghost will be a nuisance.
I see why people rather use RC-XDs now.
That's what I don't understand.. how do you "abuse" Ghost? It hides you from the spy plane like its supposed to. That's like saying people abused "Cold Blooded" in MW2 to hide from the UAV and other air support. I could see if it was being exploited somehow to do something other than what it should... but it doesn't.
I run Ghost on about 4 of my classes. The other one has Hardline, and another with Flak Jacket. Flak Jacket is for when my team sucks at holding the B Flag, and Hardline I use about every other match. Depending on the map, I'll run my stealth kit (yes, Ghost + Ninja + Silencer
), or if there is air support, I'll run my Anti-Air Kit (which is Ghost + Strela-3). Then I just have a couple Ghost Classes for the sake of having. The only reason I don't use Lightweight is because I find it unnecessary, and Scavenger I don't use since I'm always moving around and will just pick up another enemy's weapon if I'm low on ammo.
Anyway, kind of rambled there. The point I'm trying to make I guess is, I only see it used a little more than in previous games simply because of the lack of SP. But even then, the Spy Plane is still quite useful. Just imagine if instead, we Ghost Users started running a Counter Spy-Plane + Hardline. 2 Decent Players could keep you blinded the entire match just about. -

LW and Scav are another reason Ghost is like a default. Their Pros are less exciting to get (LW Pro needs to be more rewarding). I would probably let LW have the ability to Climb Faster to make it more useful.
Ghost is abused but not exploited. I have many matches where 2-3 guys will just hide in buildings with their gun of choice and IGNORE all objectives just for a killstreak. I find it pretty annoying when this happens and my worthless team will forget right after they die that there is a guy camping by his claymore with Ghost on and is weilding a BK-74u.
How you is using Ghost doesn't really bother me completely unless I have a Chopper Gunner that you decided to destroy right as I am coming out the door to rain hell on your team for another 2000 XP
.
And C-Spy is what I use since reg Spy Plane is now just a waste.
Sorry for the double post. I will post some time later since the site does not like me. -

Its not so much that their Pro's are less useful/exciting, they just don't fit my play style. I used to run Scavenger on MW2 all the time. But we got a bit more ammo in this game to start with, and I've learned to just pick guns up, freeing up my choice a little bit. Lightweight, well, I'm not really a rusher so I don't need it.
Odds are, if you end up with a Chopper Gunner in the same match as me, you better be on my team. Because it WILL go down, with or without Ghost . I run the Sam Turret as my 4 Killstreak. Usually I run UAV/Sam/Napalm, sometimes switching out Napalm for the Mortar Team.
