Making the UAV a higher scorestreak won't make the game better

Posted by Noob_Lyncher on Dec 3, 2012 10:40 AM

It seems like a lot of people are happy about Vondertard raising the amount of points it takes to get a UAV. It seemed to me like the UAV was as low as it was to help prevent camping. I have no problem with it being a low scorstreak as I get lots of them, and I have teammates who shoot down enemy ones. So to me, it seems like the only people who should be loving this change are those who can't live without a corner to camp in. I've adapted to UAVs by using Ghost, and by not sucking so that the enemy team isn't able to get many UAVs against us. Is there anyone else here who has learned to adapt to the UAV "problem" instead of crying so hard about it that Vondertard has to "fix" it, instead of fixing the myriad of other problems in this game?

    do we know what score it's being raised to yet? If it's higher than rc we might see more of them ^^

      I'd be just as fine if they reduced the CUAV to a lower level. It seems like you are just upset because now you can't easily chase red dots.

       

      Also, camping will happen no matter what they do, so you should probably just go ahead and get used to that because it is a legitimate tactic.

        Meant my above comment as a response to the OP, not to kweinger.

        I've been used to it, but it seems like campers just don't want us to be able to find them in their corners, no where near the objective. I just make the campers come to me and feed my LMG. We'll see lots of campers praising this decision, and lots of tryhards whining about it. I just hope that they don't raise the score of the Orbital VSAT. We usually have around 5 of them a game, so less UAVs don't bother us. And if you want people to get used to camping, why not have peole get used to using Ghost? I don't sit in corners, but I still use it just in case a stray UAV goes up.

        Legitimate my ass. On what planet is camping in a corner, waiting for someone to come by you so you can shoot them in the back, legitimate? That's a weak way of playing for people who don't have enough skill to be competitive playing the way it's supposed to be played. Camping...legitimate, oh my God, that just makes me nauseous.

    I like shooting down UAV's...75 points toward scorestreak and there is always one in the very first minute....so i probably wont be laggin around with my rocket laucher anymore...but i must say it was fun shooting my rocket launcher just before i die to notice i shot nothing at all...

    Plus you get a 100xp medal for each after match.  Not uncommon to shoot down 10 or more per match.  Nice easy extra 1000xp.

      Exactly. I plan on going for gold launchers at some point, and if the enemy could barely get 2 UAVs against my team before, how am I supposed to have anything to shoot down now?

    UAV spam combined with bad spawns is a problem in BO2. I'm not a camper, and the ghost nerf hasn't really bothered me because I move around a lot. But obviously players are vulnerable when they spawn., even if they just show up for a second, the pacman players know they are there, while the dots have no idea they just suffered a terrible spawn. There is this thing called game balance. They nerfed ghost, but they didn't nerf its counter. Now they are nerfing its counter. Seems fair. Now if they would just fix the spawns....

      I would think that lag comp and spawns would need more of an ASAP fix than UAV. Even if you show up on radar when you spawn, you can always just move, and Ghost will take over for you. I've never had a problem with people knowing where I am when I spawn because I don't stand still for 20 seconds when I spawn, I start playing.

        I've stopped using scorestreaks it's not worth the effort why even use them when the game still has overpowered pistols, assault rifles, SHOTGUNS, and submachine guns.

         

        Actually they should have done what Infinity Ward did seperate the scorestreaks into two categories. Assault and Support, but I'm pretty sure they couldn't tell what would go where if it were staring them in the face.

          I agree for the most part, but I don't see how you can call the assault rifles overpowered, nobody uses them except me it seems, and if anything, they need a buff.
