If the AUAV was in the assault package, and 12 well earned kills in a row were negated by a single perk, I could see your  argument. But you have minimum of 1, usually 3 or more AUAV used each match due to it not being too terribly difficult to get 12 kills total in an entire match. And then you have the UAV spam. I dont know how it is in core, but in HC its kinda crazy. Its just better for my score to use Assassain and not show up as a red dot/arrow every second of the match.

Eyes ladies eyes!

flushing out the campers is not the issue.. I really don't mind, get yourself some turtle beaches.. listen in on their footsteps/fire, and pin point them out.. I find that these campers will always go back to their usual spots.. it makes for easy kills once you number them down

I agree with you NazCassidy, All im saying is that UAV jammer/ghost/assassin has never really been my play style, but that's not to say I don't appreciate it's place in the game! I logged 20+ days on black ops and did some real work as ghost, but now its like a necessity for some people to stay alive!

And since anybody with common sense clearly has assassin equipped, I pretty much need to check all my corners which slows my game down terribly since AUAV EMP and CUAV are pretty much out the window in terms of gaining an advantage

The fact of the matter is that UAV jammer/assassin/ghost will change from year to year, and I think the people who rely on it will only be as strong as the perk is at the time. all the haters may say the radar is a crutch but the radar will always exist in cod. count on it. unless HC is your thing

Tbh I have recently made the switch to HC, simply because of the amount of people who rely on radar/assassin in the normal gametypes...plus it takes less bullets to kill, i'm tired of emptying an entire clip into someones back...only for them to turn around in Last Stand and pistol me! Ima stay in HC for a while

I used Ghost in BO also, although only to avoid the constant UAV's again...at least BO had a counter (Blackbird). IW should either update the AUAV to imitate a Blackbird OR raise the amount of kills needed to gain a UAV.

A lot of people might disagree with raising the required kills for a UAV but imo, it's either that or we NEED a KS which can counter Assassin, AUAV should be similar to Blackbird anyway...12 kills just to see which way someones facing? Sheesh, waste of a KS imo.

The Radar is an important part of gameplay, a lot of people don't realise the difference between a good player using the radar to give him/herself an edge over the enemy team or a bad player who is constantly looking at their radar and not paying attention to their surroundings.

Imo any good player, aside from HC players due to obv reasons, will check their radar often during a match...a lot of people don't pay attention to it and end up dying a lot when it coulda been avoided.
