i see what your saying.. it seems that you will die when your on a role lol, but i think it has to do with  spike jumps in connection, and or decision making... at least for me.. when im on a role i start to play where i think about it too much, instead of  not paying attention to killstreaks..

G, I have thought this for a LONG time but I dared not say anything because I thought, "well, it could have been me" or "Can't win them all". It helped keep me from busting my nice Samsung TV! I have experienced this MANY times, especially after a couple days of just slaughtering people but then on day 3, I have to resort to using 'easy' guns because of the WTF. I truly wonder if there is programming in place to 'slow' a person down if they are just constantly kicking butt. God I hope we are wrong because we all know what that means.

I must confess to wondering this in the past because of the reason you mention, who knows what programming and algorithms have been written into the game, the pre-launch hype was that this game would cater to all players, it wouldn't be in their interests to make a game where new players were constantly getting slayed 24/7

However when players get into Beast Mode and get those high rewards, without knowing your playstyle can change subconciously, possible becoming a bit too confident.

I know when I start my streak i'm cautious, as I get nearer to the Mega streak I get a little impatient and make a mistake.

Who Knows? But I think a lot of COD Vets have wondered at some time whether they've been

BALANCED

Eeeeyup. It's like:

Me: "HURR DURR ABOUT TO GET REAPER"

Game: "NOPE, LEMME SPAWN THIS GUY NEXT TO YOU, TEEHEE"

Me: "You frakkin' douche."

Yeah, as if deathstreaks weren't bad enough, wouldn't be surprised if there was some coding that "balanced" the good players with the horrible players. I've had games where I was doing very well getting all sorts of good killstreaks. But towards the end of the match and my team is punishing the other, all of the sudden the "switch" is flipped and now the other team is insta-killing us and there are pavelows/choppers/reapers in the air from the other team? Seriously, it's like WTF happened here? I don't care anymore honestly. Once BLOPS 2 drops, I'm never playing this game again....ever. That and I'm the UNDISPUTED king of getting killed by the randomly chucked frag/semtex. The killcams are quite hilarious at times. Always nice to see some random noob chuck a grenade in the most random spots and, you guessed it, I'm right there.

I already had the same feeling for some matches too (maybe less than all of you because I am far from being a beast and games where I dominate all other players are very rare ). However, usually, when your team is punishing the ennemies, most of them are leaving before the end and replaced by new players, which means new skills and maybe new lag balancing, which could explain the changes. I hope there's no specific code "to slow down" good players
