When support was created, its main purpose, created by the devs, was to give more rewards to Objective Players, and in Team Deathmatch, offer players a choice, in terms of the role they play.  I like support, because I like to help others, more than helping myself via Recon Drones and Vests.  It's fine and dandy--in Team Deathmatch...

Now for objective games, this is where I disagree with Support.  The biggest gripe I had, was how it was such a insignificant small step towards rewarding us objective players. 

Unless I'm in a party, I am often the ONLY person, who's role in the match, is the most pivotal one of all--my role, is the play objectively, and thus, help win our matches most often, at the cost of dying more often.  And for my efforts, I should only be rewarded with...UAVs?  Sam Turrets?  Meanwhile, farm killers go on playing objective games like extended Team Deathmatches, while IGNORING objectives.  Yet, THEY get the best rewards?

Lastly, I believe that both Assault and Support should co-exist as one.  We should have the choice to go Assault, Support, or a mixture of both.  The major change, is how we are rewarded.  I made a thread about my idea a while ago, and while not all is easy to explain, the main concept is there.

Exactly.  One class that has both assault and support just like in every other game except reward people more for playing the objective.  No need for the welfare system.

Its like everything else in Call of Duty. It's not bad in itself... the community exploits and abuses it and make people hate it.

Infected in general makes everything it affects a worthless statistic.

I'd like to see someone going negative in w/l when playing infected.

Support is fine as it is. It is frowned up on cause it is "easy" to get. But it is prob more effective then assault.

Hell a 4 man team that knows what they are doing running support is way more annoying then a 4 man team running assault.

I do use it, especially playing against a group of campers going for there high streaks. Love to lay a stealth bomber on them and EMP there high streaks out of the air.

I would recommend new players to use support killstreaks there whole first prestige. No worries about getting that last kill for a pred or that specialist bonus. Just getting to know the maps, the guns, the routes. And on top of that, still feel usefull cause you can contribute to the team.

My brother uses it a lot, he goes hard for the objective so hardly ever stays alive for more then 3-4 kills. He is in no means a bad player, but this way he feels he can go focus on the objective more.
