There is a Blackbird in MW3, it's called the Advanced UAV. Recon Drones & the Recon perk also counter Assassin & Blind Eye is only helpful to people trying to avoid or shot down enemy air support -- it is easily counter by a UAV (if the player doesn't have it paired w/ Assassin).

There's tons of speculation in this thread.

Game-balancing is a series of elements such as perks hinging upon other perks and perks being selected to counter others commonly used, which in turn are selected based upon others' perk use. I don't really see how conclusions cam be drawn pre-release, just in the same way that people speculated just about every perk was overpowered in BO, and the fact of the matter can only be answered with hindsight.

I do feel that splitting the GHOST PRO perk from BO into 2 perks across 2 tiers was a smart move. I'll use them both (BLIND-SIGHT and ASSASSIN) though not always together and my forfeit will either be not having both or losing 2 tiers to something that doesn't improve my combat chances in most encounters.

Really we are whineing about a perk already? So what if some one wants to be immune to air support what is the big deal. So what if they camp big deal. I swear people will complain about anything, cant wait till release day to see all the omg this is over powered threads.

what a fail troll

I don't see a problem with these two perks together at all. The past two games had all the same stuff in one perk. Except CUAV. So now the players who like to use ghost/cold blooded have to give up SOH or whatever. The same thing has happened with SOH and ADS quicker. It has been split up over two perks.

He makes a valid point, and just because you disagree does not make him a troll. People will camp, get over it.
