With all the hate that circulates these forrums, i'd like to give some love. IW had a great idea with the specialist package. I LOVE IT !!!
Good job IW.
I'd give them a 65-70% thumbs up on this game
I hope Treyarc likes specialist. Because every COD from now on should have it.
I hope that's what happens.
I love the specialist too, good idea. Anything else you feel they implemented correctly?
Pointstreaks. Fantastic idea... But i'm a little curious on why capping headquarters doesn't count to you streak in HQ.
I like the strike packages as a whole. I think the amount of hate the support package gets is stupid. I'd hope it returns but I doubt it will considering how few killstreaks Black Ops had and how much hate it seems to get.
I actually like the support package idea too, just don't agree with stealth bomber, and anything that gets you kills. Ammo resupply, equipment resupply, ballistic vests.... These are what i'd like to see. Things that really help the team.
Support package = BK handholding package.
So how does using Support make you a worse player exactly?
I used to run UAV - Ballistic Vests / Counter UAV and no other pointstreak as Support. Best setup, so much XP for little amounts of kills. Support doesnt make you a bad player, just a good team player if you play it right. Best team player, lots of UAVS and a Stinger to kill all enemy UAVS, Choppers and anything else they call in. ![]()
i lovethe point streak system for then just kills now i can play obj/ defensifly and still get help full streaks
I love:
Speicalist, stalker, different killstreaks depending on what class.
I like the specialist package alot. It's a real challenge to complete it.
I like the support package because it gives me an incentive to play the objective and be willing to sacrifice myself for the team. (by taking away the worry of trying to preserve a killstreak). (In my opinion EMP belongs here, as is directly neutralizes the Assault strike package. Stealth bomber, idk...)
I like the idea of leveling up weapons but I'll admit I liked the Blops gun store better (spend your cod bucks on what you want). I'd prefer to purchase guns and attachments that are unlocked by leveling up, rather than have to level them up individually. A token system for this would be great and even an improvement on Blops - unlock 1 attachment, your choice, etc, 1 camo pick the one you want, etc.
I like the Recon perk, Stalker, and Marksman. They're all cool ideas that work well most of the time.
I like being able to scroll through my killstreaks and pick the one I want to use. I wish you could stack multiples, though (Blops queued them up). I like that they restart without having to die first.
I like being able to configure a particular strike package on a per-class basis. This is really really nice.
I like Kill Confirmed but they need to increase the incentive for picking up the tags.
There's many many tweaks that could make all these things better but it's a good start that I'd like to see Treyarch keep and improve upon.
There is also a long list of things from Black Ops I would love to see return, such as the scoreboard showing objectives (plants, caps, kills confirmed, etc); ability to mute audio; objective flags fade away when looking at them; etc, there's a list of little things here.
Agreed. p.s. Your paragraphs are beautifully organized. ![]()
Speaking of KC and packages, there should be some incentive to pick up tags...playing the objective in KC doesn't get you any points for pointstreaks. I don't think it would be terrible difficult to have it be like every 5 tags you get consecutively in a life you'd get a point...just an idea.
But yeah, I'd say IW has done a good job with the game. This is my first COD game, but I've gone back and played other games since and there has obviously been noticeable improvement.
Oh wow first COD? I guess you are a "noob" then.
Yeah and I still suck but whatever...it's usually fun
Support is perfect for people like me who don't sweat about getting 40-0 in a game and run and jump around like monkeys with guns. I just relax, chat with friends, and build up my point streak that way.
So I want Support back, but if need be reduce the killstreak.
Recon Jugg/EMP/Escort Airdrop is a bit too much if you ask me.
Exactly, the people that hate it are probably the ones who spend whole games of DOM not playing the objective to try and jack their K/D and then get all but sore when the recon drone tags them.
Id give this games mp: 7.5-10 i hate the campers and the spawns. Campaign:10-10 i loved it. Spec Ops: 9.5-10 idk what to say about this
i only use support pack with advanced UAV stealth bomber and Emergency Airdrop
because i can run straight into the camper holes and when i die i dont care and run again.
the support package takes a lot of frustration from the game for me
Here here Kyle
I bet you are confused about me.
I post random things, you can tell my mood by my posts... hah.
I agree. specialist streaks are great.
Good job on the different packages but the support rewards bad players sometimes i don't see the point on if your still on the losing team and for example 14-25 i don't see the point of getting a steatlh bomber
stealth bomber definatly belongs in the assult streak. lol other than that the 3 different sets of kill streaks makes sense.
Right the strike pacakges were a good idea
Well if you think about it, it is sort of supporting your team. You can drop it over flags, and clear the enemy team out so your team can run in and cap. I do see how some people say it should be assault though, but yea i think its a little of both. It isn't like it's overpowered either, because if bad players have it equiped they'll be lucky to get it once
but if i am the player with the 14-25 i help winning because i stopped the enemy killstreak with my camper position running so my teammates dont get killed by a dozen of predators or helicopters
Specialist is the fastest way to 10th prestige, lot of points in short time, especially if you have hardline, killstreaks on 1-3-5-7
That and stinger with blindeye (you complete 5 chalenges in the same time with this, 2 blindeye and 3 stinger chalenges)
Sometimes I get 60-70k points with chalenges only
well its good to see some positive threads on here!
The game to me is brilliant and think its IW's best attempt yet tho MW2 was also amazing..
I love the new ideas and balance of the game and how tactical it is now when working as a team...
it gets 9.5 out 10 simply for its team based play and obviously there are a couple of things that could be sorted like being able to turn off the music and auto aim but hopefully many ideas will stick around and am looking forward to see what treyarch do in their next installment....
Good thread this one....thankyou kyle...![]()
Yeah i'm enjoying it too. My friend kept me up all night long just playing sec ops in this game. Mission mode and survival. Even played Mw2 spec ops, definatley something IW does right. So now i'm just waiting on map packs, lots and lots of map packs.
yea ive done a few all nighters myself lol
the new "highrise" map looks fan friggin tastic and should provide some hectic battles!
cant wait till all the new maps are in rotation...
Lol ![]()
