Assasin is not the problem. The availability of UAV is. I switch between assasin and quick draw depending on the gametype and map, but the only reason I use assasin is because many times you play a team who are all using UAV and 80% of the match its up. I just don't like dying from BS kills because some guy all of a sudden saw my blip show up on his radar when I didn't even fire a shot so he lobs a random grenade in the room and kills me. Some skill that takes. Seriously if your bitching about not seeing people on UAV then you really suck at this game. Part of being good at COD is learning to use your eyes. Good players can spot a little spec of a guy from across the map. I've always hated radars in any game. Always hated it in halo as well.

Ghost/Assassin is a problem?

Funny, hasn't been a problem when I play.

People still die when I shoot them-so where's the problem?

seriously? cry some more. this combo is NOT as powered as Ghost is considering you have to give up Quickdraw now as with BLOPS you could be invisible to everything with ghost pro. And for your lame ass little excuse of the display being part of the game so you ARE paying attention.....yeah BS. get past the age of 10 and trying to come up with reasons that make sense to you. Plain and simple you want to be a dot gobbler and use your precious UAV to find people. Oh that's right, you don't want to use something like sitrep or Stalker Pro, nooooo you want to use dead silence so you can sound-whore your way through maps while looking for blips on your screen. Let me just "guess" at your wussy little setup:

1. Extreme conditioning with dual machine pistols, or dual machine pistols with your special little 360 jumping sniper rifle.

2. Quickdraw, gotta make sure that blip doesn't move when you come barreling around the corner.

3. Dead Silence - don't want people to hear you coming and you want to make sure you can hear the direction of that little blip just waiting for you.

Plain and simple, learn to adapt in different lobbies. If not, go set up a private match where you and all your little jerk off buddies can laugh and guffaw and yell "U MAD BRO"??? and have a nice little circle jerk after your match.

I have a simple solution. how about make uavs only work for the person who earned it, and not their entire team. or make uavs recquire more kills to get. at least 5 or 6. im sure people get more kills thanks to finding people from uavs than someon gets with a predator missile lol
