The reason is that the MP designers want it to function in the way it currently does.
Since this has rapidly become the forum once more for all subjective requests I'll ask the MP team once more if they wish to change the setting. How's that?

Please ask them as well why they made it twice the range of c4
This is exactly the point i was making before about who do you make games for (i'll cite you guys' mantra of "we listen to the community" ) and again you've fallen back on the "we dont think it's an issue as a reason.
anyways I promse this will be my absolute last comment/post about dead mans hand...
This morning I did the following
... a quick youtube search with the words dead man hand alone give nearly 30k videos all complaining about its range. The replies on those videos agreeing go into the 100's of 1000's .if you add words like overpowered or range or blast radius you get 1000s of videos complaing,
theres also 100's of videos showing the radius is twice that of c4 and larger than a predator missle (srsly?)
Wierdly cant find any video stating dead mans hand is fine (theres one entitled dead mans hand is good but after watching it turns out that was a sarcastic title showing the video uploader being killed from a huge distance by using dead mans hand. )
Also went back through twitter accounts of both 402 and the main callofduty and IW , same thing 1000's of nerf comments, not one single dead mans hand is fine comment. The nearest ones basically were replies from other cod communities members defending your decision to add death streaks but wierdly agreeing that dead mans hand was too big a blast radius.
Same on the facebook account.. 100's of comments in reply to statuses saying nerf dead mans hand
this forum well think you can eailsy gauge the feelings here ..
and im pretty certain we all know what the result would be if you put the question of should deads man hand have its blast radius reduced to the community as a whole.
End of the day Ghandi we arent being unreasonable in fact this is probably one of the few things you can say the community is one voiced over.. We aren't calling for its removal only that its made fair and as balanced as a death streak can be given that in reality a death streak has nothing to balance it with.
I get the arguement you want to give bad or unlucky players (wont say new) a helping hand, but this mentality implies the only thing the devs think we care about is killing someone. (throws in sarcastic comment about lack of objective stats). The truth is people die they want to get back in the action.. (or rage quit) which is why like alot of people apart from my team defender class all my other classes usually have juiced as a deathstreak.
I've said it before but i use dmh's on team defender as its the best weapon to clear out a team camping, its alot easier to get killed 5 times than to kill 5 times to get a predator and a pred unlike dmhs doesnt work inside and its (the preds) blast radius is lower. Theres just no logic involved here.
As i've said previously its just another one of those "little" things that make the entire mw3 playing expereince annoying and ruins your customers enjoyment.
In the grand scheme of things its an easy 5 min change (its just a number), I doubt anyone would actually complain it got a blast reduction but i am pretty certain there would be a heck of alot of people thanking you.
/end diatribe goes back to working
and its not so much subjective requests, once you get past the multitude of network related posts, most of the posts by the community on this thread have been suggestions or requests to make the game better for everyone by pointing out what everyone complains about the most.
