Assassin does nothing in regards to strafe run.
Best counter is blind eye, otherwise, find cover.
You're welcome
Strafe run is kinda like carpet bombing. Just bullets spamming a path across the map. Best thing to do is seek cover or hide next to a building on the opposite side from where the helichopters are coming from.
I find this to be one of the most underpowered killstreaks, but that may be because I find them so easy to avoid. They're somewhat similar to the 'old' stealth bomber from MW2.
You could always shoot the middle chopper with a stinger.. it takes out 3 of them right away... easy easy easy points!
I know. I got predator from 2 stinger misiles once
Yeah they work like a charm against them... I dont really agree with how they have made it soooo easy to shoot the choppers down before they even really reah the map... but until they fix it.. I will get my easy points!
A 3 point streak with 1 stinger missile seems a bit much but I'll keep doing it if idiots keep calling in their crappy strafe runs!
^^^^ Exactly!!
And I forgot to add, I use specialist and hardline also, so 1 stinger gives me 1500+ points! ![]()
Same here. I think strafe run is the most useless killstreak I've seen, two stingers takes out the entire thing and gets you massive points. Not to mention the fact that they hardly kill anyone.

Basically this. They are incredibly easy to avoid and you can wipe them out with a couple of stingers. I -love- when the enemy team is calling them in because I run Support and those takedowns count toward my killstreak. So thanks to everyone who runs strafe run for helping to feed me my stealth bombers and AUAV's ![]()
insta- wargasam if your running hardline specialist class. i love these coming in to the fight. a quick suicide, change class and voila. 1000 odds xp, 5 points on my streak and 5 more choppers downed on the stinger stats. i cant imagine they appear from anywhere other than complete noobs and care packages
