Should they make Hardwired better?

Posted by Morphikz on Feb 1, 2013 3:19 PM

Description: This video Discusses the situation with Hardwired perk, and my oppinions on how it could be bettered.

Do you guys think that maybe they should do something to better the Hardwired perk because personally, I think it is a little underpowered, and is almost useless, let me know what you guys think I'm curious to read your ideas on what they should do to it and hey maybe we might be able to agree with eachother.

    Since the forums are a bit slow, maybe I'll start the debate by adding that they should think about incoropating a system where maybe EMPs don't effect equipment or, kill streaks such as gaudian and Sentury

    It is a useless perk probably the worst in the game. No one wants to waste a point on a perk when they can either have toughness/scav; heck i would rather have fast hands. Point being not a lot of people run cuav's and no one that I have seen is running emps.  They could buff it but how? I've heard people want it to block the blackbird but thats idiotic nothing should counter that except cuav/emp.  

     

    As for it protecting your equipment or killstreaks are you really going to waste a point to protect a guardian or sentry that you might get? Plus not alot of people run emp nades that I have seen.

      thats why they need to make it better, by making it so emp grenades do not effect your equipment or score streaks like gaurdian and sentury gun

        would you really run hard wired though just so your gaurdian or sentry doesn't get destroyed? 1 c4 or a clip from any gun finishes it off.....not worth the point.

        So you want Hard Wired to be an invisible Faraday cage to your equipment?

    I run UAV CUAV and VSAT plus I play HC in a clan where all my members throw EMP nades to get crazy scores, if I didn't use it my kill streaks would be rendered pointless due to getting friendly EMP naded every 2 seconds which lasts for 10 seconds at a time (I think).

     

     

    My class set up is

     

    MH81 with RDS and fast mag

    Overkill with any SMG

    Perk 1 greed HL and Ghost

    Perk 2 HW of course

    Perk 3 Engineer

     

     

    So yeah, for me and the enviroment I play in it is the best perk ever, love it.

    Hard wired did just get an obvious buff but it feels more like a correction of what it should have been originally. I don't know if they are gonna buff it again or not, because its still an underperforming perk. I plan on using a trophy system to support my useless guardian when I get around to using it. I dont think implementing your suggestion would unbalance the streaks with the exception of the dragonfire. Not being able to EMP one of those would be a pain in the ass.

      Then make it so you can't emp ground score streaks like the gaurdian and the sentury gun only

        And while we're at it make so that if you run Ghost people cant shoot down your spy plane and if you run BE people cant shoot down your helicopters, see where I'm going with this?

          I understand where you are coming from, then why not just make it so that your Senturies and Gaudians are stronger and more resistant to emp grenades when using hardwired.

            Use Trophy Systems?  They could do with being more stronger against bullets and you can place them under some cover so that non-Engineer users won't see them.  I blieve their defensive radius has been buffed.

        I imagine it would be difficult to code that.

    At the moment it's the weakest perk in the weakest perk tier. It definately needs something to make it warranted. Even with the inclusion of countering emp nades arnt enough to get md to use it as getting naded by an EMP happens very rarely. I never use them on people but save them for their equipment.

      It has ALWAYS countered EMP grenades, the buff changed it to so that when you get hit with an EMP nade you only get like a millisecond blind screen instead of a half second, the buff has done virtually nothing.

        Ahh my mistake, that shows how good the perk is if I don't even give it enough notice to get that info correct. As it stands CUAVs are easier countered with a launcher anyway and EMPs are so rare it's not funny.

            to make this topic more realistic, every CoD forces you to use certain perks, they are just needed so you do not die or slowed down during your run and gun play styles.  it just how it is, they put other perks in their so people will use them for challenges, it just an achievment thing, they can make the game with 5 perks and say pick any 3 of them

    I think Hardwired is pretty useful with the latest update. You don't see many players using the EMP scorestreak but a lot of players use EMP grenades. I have at least 5 classes with EMP grenades and they all probably have Scavenger too, not sure. If you hit an enemy with an EMP grenade they can't call in their scorestreaks and if you have Scavenger you can keep spamming them and their VSats and Warthogs are useless.

     

    A good Dom/HQ/Hardpoint class is

    Any AR or LMG with 1 attatchment

    Flak Jacket

    Scavenger/Hardwired

    Tac Mask

    Trophy System

    Emp Grenade

    Tactitian

    Perk 2 Greed

     

    I think adding Equipment immune to EMP grenades with Hardwired would be useful but Scorestreaks would be too much because it would keep the Guardians and Sentrys up.
