There is nothing wrong with Assassin.
The perk has been in EVERY CoD title since CoD4.
It was not OP in CoD4
It was not OP in WaW
It was not OP in MW2
It wasn't until Fail Ops came along with the game breaking SR71 wallhack killstreak (with no effective counter - counter uav only lasts 1/2 as long = not effective in any way) and the non stackable killstreaks.
Ghost was only really useful in Black Ops for remaining undetected by killstreaks (the main reason 99.9% of people used ghost) Especially once you realize that it's nearly impossible to play a game of Black Ops without seeing at least 2 SR71's called in. I frequently got 3-4+ SR71's myself per game back when I played it.
The "ghost campers" everyone complained about existed SOLELY because the killstreaks did not stack. People would hit their first streak and go into ubercamp mode to try to get the others.
There are two reasons why people started complaining about ghost in Fail Ops
1) They often called in chopper gunners and had no red boxes on the map to spawnkill (since anyone with half a brain switched to ghost whenever a heli came out) This leads to rage at being unable to use the killstreak they camped so hard to obtain.
2) They got a taste of what it's like to see EVERY enemy on the radar in real time and they LIKED it. This led to people becoming more upset whenever they were killed by a ghost user hidden from a UAV. (I heard some of the most vulgar hateful language directed at me in Fail Ops for using ghost after I killed someone with their UAV up)
Every argument I've heard to nerf Assassin is just plain pathetic. Just face the fact that you want things hella easy like they were in Fail Ops. (My average kdr in CoD games is 2.0 - In Black Ops it's over 5.0.... Black Ops = easymode CoD)
The OMG Assassin does SO many more things argument is one of the most pathetic.. It really doesn't, people just like to break apart it's features into detailed lists so it seems more OP.
You can take several of the perks and say they are OP.
Blast Shield for example
It protects from explosives
but to someone with Assassin is OP mentality Blast shield should be listed like this
Blast shield
Protects against Claymores
Protects against Betties
Protects against RPG
Protects against Nades
Protects against C4
Protects against IMS
Protects against Underbarrel Launchers
Protects against XM-25
Protects against Javelin
Cold Blooded Pro was NOT considered OP by anyone in any way shape or form in MW2 and guess what, it did MORE than Assassin does now!!!
So seriously stop crying for them to fix something that IS NOT BROKEN!! If you REALLY need your map SO BADLY then go back to Fail Ops.
If you really believe Assassin is OP then you are an idiot. Go back to Black Ops and have fun with the SR71 wallhack and people camping for killstreaks.
Seriously if Assassin is OP then MW3 is simply too hard for you, you need to stick with easymode CoD (aka Black Ops)
