FORUMS_

i think a fair point to say is that it dosent matter how many people complain about UAV's , everyone uses them.

the amount of people that moan about it on Headsets yet 10 seconds later they're uav is up is astonishing.

UAV was not over powered in COD4 because you lost it the moment you died...

Here's the difference between CoD4 and Black Ops 2:

Call of Duty 4 -

Everyone had access to the UAV Killstreak, but by around level 15 or 20 you also had access to the UAV Jammer perk, which easily countered the UAV. It wasn't an issue.

Black Ops 2 -

UAV is a default Unlock. The only perk that counters it is Ghost, which is a max-level unlock, and only works while you're moving. The Counter-UAV is a mid-level unlock, and the stinger (or whatever it's called) keeps you spinning around in circles trying to find the UAV, all the while showing up as a red dot for anyone nearby to kill you.

So you can see where the difference is and where the complaints come from. In Black Ops 2, they went out of their way to make it so that a blind monkey can find people. This was because of all the complaints by people who played too much Pac-Man and got used to chasing down dots, they couldn't stand the fact that sometimes they actually had to look around to find someone.

So they took to Youtube and twitter and basically spammed Vahn for 2 years regarding the "overpowered ghost perk", completely exaggerated the problem, and eventually he caved to pressure and nerfed the perk into near uselessness and turning the game into "Call of Duty: Pac-Man Edition" where the goal is to just chase dots everywhere on the map.

Things that can be used to remove someones UAV (in no certain order):

1) Launchers (1 point of class loadout)

2) Hunter killer drone (525 scorestreak)

3) Ghost (as long as you're standing and moving)

4) Emp Grenade (disables all electronics on screen for 10 sec's)

5) EMP (1300 score streak)

6) Counter UAV (600 scorestreak)

7) Blackhat (1 point of class loadout)

With everything this game has to counter the UAV spam its honestly not as bothersome as some believe it to be. You have to use the tools available to you to counter everything your enemies throw at you. Thats the point of the game.

The uav is fine as both teams can get it relatively fast and counter it relatively easy. It's a problem when you're on an unbalanced aka **** team, in which case I would just leave. If they can spam uavs constantly it's your team that just sucks at killing and playing the objective.

It's not hard to destroy uavs and they keep the game fast paced.

the AA launcher works perfectly fine. once you learn the maps and where to look for the UAV in the sky it's pretty quick and painless, you even get score for it so they're contributing to your scorestreak. All the magazines are big enough in the primary weapons to cover an engagement or two as long as you're not using an smg anyway.. hell when using an lmg you can reload like once every 5 kills depending how much you spray. Shooting through surfaces is fun :>

The main reason no one used UAV Jammer was Stopping Power
