dude i cannot agree with you more. first of all the whole last stand issue is bugged beyond belief. it's like back in MW2 days when you could contiune shooting a guy as he went into last stand / god mode long enough to kill you with 1 bullet from his pistol from 400 yards away.

it's the same deal now, shoot someone, they go into FS or DMH and you continue to put hitmarks on them and they still live long enough to do something!

i cannot count how many times i have put a bullet into the dudes head when he's got DMH deathstreak, see the kill register on the kill list in the lower left hand corner of the screen and then have him detonate it somehow after. sometimes i even do it with 2 head shots. one to put him into DMH and another to kill him again and he still detonates. it's complete bullshit.

But deadman's hand, by definition, means that when the guy dies, the explosion goes off.  Like in T2, the guy held a switch down as he was bleeding out, and when he died, the switch popped up and the building exploded.

The bad part about the MW3 dead man's hand is that the user can flip the switch at any time during bleeding out.  I guess that's realistic, though.

Honestly, I can count on one hand the number of times DMH has gotten me.  I've been taken down by final stand much, much, much more.  Plus, DMH punishes close quarters idiots (striker, akimbo FMG, SMG mouth-breathers), which I don't have a problem with at all.

Yeah I agree that DMH needs to be altered in some way, aside from just removing it, I think changing how it works is fair. You should be able to kill them before they detonate the c4.
