Seriously.... WTF is up with the EMP now?
-
Like (1)
Ok... Twice I've deployed it and now TWICE the enemy went unharmed....... Literally, right after I deployed it, I hear "enemy has EMP'd us!"
The weird thing is that after I deployed the EMP, I hear "Enemy has a UAV"... And I visually saw it in the sky.
Wait... It gets better!
Right after I see their EMP-proof UAV, I hear, "The enemy has EMP'd us!"....... To which I noticed the Cobra we had in the air was still there, so obviously that didn't work either.
So WHAT THE F**K IW? It used to work fine!?
Are we going backwards? Are you taking a page from Microsoft's "Maybe if we introduce more bugs, they'll forget about the old ones" solution manual?
There's a perk for that.
Nerf overpowered EMPs.
60 seconds? Can't use MOAB while it's up?
Really?
Really?
******* welfare killstreak ******* bitching about their killstreaks make me lawl.
Get bent.
Troll on.
if you are EMPd, you cant use point streaks even if you use Assassin Pro. i used to try to do that every now and then cuz i forget that i have Assassin Pro on and i wonder why none of my streaks were working.
EMP's are OP. Just imagine, you've got the hardest killstreak, the Osprey Gunner. Call it in, and a little support noob kid just call in his EMP, and man, you're done! Ridiculous...
lol I did this once ![]()
I only use the EMP to take out Killstreaks. If I don't have an EMP I use my stinger. Either way, your air support is eating dirt.
With you on this one, I love using the EMP to take out any heavy stuff after someone has worked so hard to get it, if thats not available then the stinger will work for me instead, will get myself killed on purpose just to take out any air support the opposing team throws out,not only because i like doing so but because you do get some massive points in the process,
EXACTLY, It's disappointing that you only get 2 shots. And that Scavenger doesn't refill the Stinger's ammo.. But that's what the suicide grenade is for ![]()
Do you know that if you call in am emp the moment they try and use a stealth bomber it will destroy the bomber before it can make its run. I did this a few times and thought it was a nice effect of the emp. Stop a bomber dead in it tracks which let my team get the cap and the win because of it.

Yep, had this happen to me for the first time last night. i was wondering where the boom went!
i was a sad panda.
itd be hilarious if the stealth bomber still crash landed into the map (as it should)
Sorry but 90% of the players who get to that kill streak are camping for kills and not playing the objective anyway. Most of the time I run my assault streak (pred,chopper,ah-6) but If I'm in a tough game I'm going support streak. It's called adapting and it's far from nooby.If you stick with deathmatch, you won't see as much support streaks.
To th OP, Yes I've noticed the same thing, been on both sides of it as well. I think it's a bug, but it rarely happens so doesn't bother me too much. Think It might have something to do with lag.
Never had an issue...just play the game and kill people.
I always seem to get EMP'd just as I've called for my care package -_-'
got chain emp'd for 3 minutes of downturn once, was annoying but not game breaking! ![]()
The people that **** air are the ones that can never form enough kills to get any assault or specialist points.
wait...what?
I am super thankful when people shoot down enemy air support, I do it if i can, i'll switch classes if i need to.
and you sir are an idiot if you don't even try to take out air support if you can.

This is one of the dumbest statements I've seen on here yet. You tell me who's the bigger noob the guy who takes out air support asap or the guy who keeps getting killed by it? Just can't win with you kids. Your a noob if you take down air support, but I bet when your air support is smashing the other team your calling them stupid noobs for not taking it down with your smug grin thinking how good you are, Then you're also a noob if you use blind eye.So basically it boils down to a race to get the kill streak first. Nothing else matters, everything else is being a noob. lol
EMP provides a timeout if you're being pounded by the opposing team. If you run Assassin Pro, then the ONLY thing it inhibits is your air support. You still have your sights and your map/readout.
People are really that upset over losing their air support for ONE MINUTE? As far as how long it lasts versus match time; I've seen matches last only a few minutes to begin with and I've been in wars of attrition that I felt would never end.
By the time most reach 17-18 kills, they've been pounded to death by predator missiles, cobras and only God knows what else.... So the fact people are crying so much about an EMP that lasts for one minute is absolutely ridiculous. It's not like it completely wipes out your reward (Unless it's in the air of course). After the one minute mark, you're free to resume the barrage.
And for the record, I personally play all three classes. I pick the one that best suits the gameplay.
@RYKINxx - Opposing opinions are part of every conversation, but there's no need to be a d*ckhead about it. Sh*t talking keyboard heros are bottom feeders that try to suck the rest of us into their misery. Please take it to another post or even forum for that matter. I started this thread to voice a concern about a problem, not to receive unproductive vomit from lonely trolls seeking attention.
EDIT:: Actually RYKINNxx - I checked out your history and see that's ALL you do. You jump in a thread to vomit your worthless, unproductive, infantile point of view. You seemed to be obsessed with "****" as you use that word in more posts than you don't.... Maybe you're in denial? I'm sorry if you're haunted by compulsions you have issues controlling. There's help for that. Maybe you should be on those forums seeking advice?
This made my day, haha
i think the EMP should be 30-45 seconds max, but i run assassin pro almost exclusively now bc of the UAV spam so it isn't a big deal. a bit annoying to miss out on points earned from killstreaks i can't call in, but as long as we get the win it's fine
